| Pro vs. Consumer Equipment I still have my old JBL 200 studio monitors and Crown D150 amp from way back. A year or so back I dug them out while I was waiting for my new ( used ) Speakers to arrive. Trust me don't look back! They play loud and have great bass,but thats all ... | |
| Need speaker suggestions please I would suggest a pair of B&W 801 Matrix ( 2 or 3 ) . These will do a great job in any room and are exceptional speakers,which is in your price range. These speakers are also made to last a long time.I owned a pair of 801#2 for years and still... | |
| Amp suggestion for Kharma Ceramique 2s?? I have a large room ( almost 600 sq feet ) and am having no problem with bass ( though I am not a bass finatic ) with the Thor TPA 30 and Kharma 1.0. I like the balance I have now. There is a thread somewhere in Audiogon that mentioned a nice impr... | |
| Amp suggestion for Kharma Ceramique 2s?? Hi: I am using the Thor Audio, TPA 30 watt tube monos with the Kharma 1.0 speakers can't imagine a better match. These Kharmas sing well with the Thors'. Unless you play music quite loud or have 600 sq.ft. room, I wouldn't think you'd need more po... | |
| Telefunken vs Siemens EL34 I would ( due to cost ) really consider calling Tube World and ask about trying there Svetlana "cryo'd" EL 34 which they rave about. It'll be much cheaper and probably sound very close to buying used or nos Teles' or Siemens. | |
| Which cables to get? used-For your Tuner buy a used Audiotruth or A/quest Diamond 2 0r 3 this will definately clean up the sound of your tuner section. new - Ridge Street Audio RSA ref mk2. Incredible i/c! | |
| Major Problems with Aleph Ono I had similar problems way back and ended up moving the t/table further away and settled on mounting it on a turntable wall shelf. This got rid of the floor vibrations.also try using the proper amount ( by weight ) of "Vibrapods" which work very w... | |

Thor TPA30-TA1000 and Kharma 1.0 in a 24x24'great room with a 12' cath. ceiling.I first would put down a area rug ( with pad under ) in the listening area. Then I would hang long floor length, soft material, probably poly/... | |

| Audio Research sp 11 compared to the sp 10 I agree that any quality preamp whenever it was made will work very well. I owned a sp11 for many years and enjoyed it very much. I do feel however that todays ( high end ) electronics have the advantage of using better parts that that where not a... | |
| Which NOS to use on Audio Research pre amp? I do remember back a few years I upgraded a ARC preamp with Orange Label Amperex which was a great improvement.Amperex is a great NOS tube to start with and usually is not too expensive. Generaly each different manufacturers ( nos ) tubes have a u... | |
| Kharma Ceramique; evolution of the line I have had the luck to find a 1.0 pair and love them dearly.The best thng i can say is they all sound very much alike. Each version is just a bit better all around and the larger will fill larger room requirements.The # 1.1 2.1 3.1 and 3.2 etc ver... | |
| Speakers room positioning - diff tricks ? Generally speaking I think these are all starting points,and great ideas. All rooms are a little different,along with personal tastes being different. I think any on of them can be used with great success ,but the final tweek must come with the tr... | |
| Tandberg 3011 tuner question I had a 3011a for many years.Very reliable.Traded towards a Magnum Dynalab Etude.The Etude was better,but not by that much.I would say if this piece is in good working order,buy it before someone else does! | |
| Lost in the Powercord Jungle I tend to agree with the Cable co.Due to the fact that you can afford to spend as mentioned,it leaves the door open wider than for most.I would definately not gamble on other likes and dislikes,becuase what some one else likes you may not. Going t... |
