| VAC 30/30 & Sophia 6SN7's an incredible little ampYou must be a power lifter, Markus. I thought that my Doshi/Lectron JH-50 was HEAVY until I got my Ren 30/30!! Highly recommended, as long as your health insurance covers disk surgery ;-) I'll have to check out my Sylvanias... | |

It is also sometimes called a control amplifier.The power amplifier has no swi... | |

| What is your listening level? 110db is good ror rock and rollSure, if you're an audiologist or a hearing aid salesman ;-) Seriously, 110 dB is loud enough to cause hearing damage in under 2 minutes. Too much live R&R w/o hearing protection is one of the things I regret abo... | |
| How to best connect active sub to int amp? If the LFD has pre-out jumpers you can insert the sub there, using a Y-cable (aka splitter, aka one in, two out) there, instead of the jumpers. Run one of the splitter outputs back to the main in on the amp, and one to the sub, from each channel. ... | |
| Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup. Hmmm. I'm thinking maybe Merlin TSMs or Vandersteen 2ce sigs (either around $1.3-$1.4K) and a nice tube integrated. There are lots of tube integrateds for $1500-$1600.00. If you want to watch the classifieds and are prepared to move quickly, I thi... | |
| Hissing sound coming from tweeters I agree that the concept of building a system around a great pre-amp is a good idea. However, very high sensitivity speakers and an amp w too high a s/n ratio is a v. bad match. If you want to stick w the Arye pre, then you should look for less se... | |

| Center Channel with Vandy Quattros? Need help- My guess, and I emphasize its a guess, is that the VCC 1, even though perhaps not optimal w the Quattros, would be a much better solution than a speaker from another manufacturer. And for movies and most video software, IMO, any slight imbalance o... |
