| Why do people think I'm nuts involving audio? Sal,Always remember there are two sides to this argument.1-Utilitarian2-Non-utilitarianIf our world was strictly Utilitarian we would live in a very different world than we do now. We would have only functional utilitarian products, and art and cr... | |
| What amplification do you suggest for Magnepan MG20.1? Well, I do not have the 20.1's (I wish I did), but I do have the Maggie 3.6's.I have a few suggestions for the 20.1's. It boils down to how much $$$ you want to spend.I would first suggest Plinius amps. Either 2 SA100 mk3's in MONO (my amps of cho... | |
| commodity liquidity Great post Tacs!I like companies that are doing this direct through online as well. I am not as tube oriented as you are (not adviseable to drive Maggie 3.6's with tube gear), but if I had some very efficient speakers my oppinion might dramaticall... | |
| Tube Amp Recommendation Calvin,I have never heard the Crown amp. Personally, I am not all that fond of amps with fans... just one more thing that can break... and if it does, who knows how much damage can be done from overheating (if you are not there when the fan breaks... | |
| An open letter to Terrorists It would be truly sad for this to turn into WW3.It very well may. And if it does so be it.We have tolerated other countries policies of hating us. People who think we are Satan. People who burn our flag. People who are working hard to develop biol... | |
| Tube Amp Recommendation Calvin,I think you need to decide if you like Tubes or your existing speakers better. Because for $1500 used, you are not going to find a tube amp that can drive those speakers well. Especially when compared to a $1500 SS amp. With more of a budge... | |

| commodity liquidity I have been into audio for over 12 years.These are very complex issues.The primary problems this industry has are:1 - Solid state electronics last virtually forever. If electronics seriously degraded (like automobiles do) over time, the industry w... | |
| Stereophile Class A Before I make any suggestions, I need to know what speakers you are going to be driving.You need an amp that are going to match you speakers.Peace.Keith | |
| Morrison Elad, Some opinions Please. One final comment:I have heard the Citation 5.0 preamp. It was a good HT preamp before Dolby Digital hit the market.I would never consider the Cititation 5.0 a great (or even good) 2 channel preamp. The Morrison will be a major improvement in 2 ch... | |
| Recs on Tube Monos for Maggies under 2,500 Used Melton,I have had Maggie 3.6's for 2 years.I have heard them with a lot of amps.......You want to get the best out of the Maggies........DO NOT use tubes with them. Tube preamp... Yes. tube amp... heck NO!At $2500 no tubes even used will drive the... | |
| Morrison Elad, Some opinions Please. Folks,I used a Morrison for 2 years. At $800 new it is a bargain. I have compared it against a lot of preamplifiers. I challenge anyone who can name a high end preamp for less than 2 times it's price that is better. I'd like to hear from folks tha... | |

| External DAC and a Processor with NO analog passthrough I have a friend who does this with an Adcom 750.It works really well.Keith | |
| 24/96 upsampling vs. 24/192 upsampling vs. no upsampling? I found it interesting the experiment the guy did at the webpages that I listed aove. It seemed like conclusive proof (if he was telling the truth) that Perpetual Tech gear was not reproducing music accurately.Anyway... just my 2 cents.Keep up the... |
