| Benz L-2 db gain for Classe 6 MC phono stage. If you experiment with the resistors to achieve 40-50db of gain ,you should be fine.This will allow some "range" on the 6s' volume control. | |
| alon II Mark II I can see how a better woofer could improve the sound of these.Check the operating frequency and impedance/efficeincy.The Dayton Reference Series are very good and are excellent in the cost/performance ratio.I also like the Aurum Cantus drivers.Mu... | |
| Thinking of upgrading Cambridge 540c If you are going to stay in the trans/dac camp,upgrade the DAC. | |
| What subwoofer to use with Maggies? Keep the woofers small,in multiples.I would suggest using a 6db/oct crossover into the MMGs.Will you be bi-amping or passive?Can the woofer assembly be placed in the same "plane" as the MMGs or possibly used as a base? If a box can be built,the Au... | |

| Anyone know where I can find a Revel Salon tweeter Manufacturer and model? Does Revel do any post production modifying to the driver? Can make a big difference in availability and sound. | |

| tube testing oddity I understand that Vintage Tube Services will put your tubes through a battery of tests for $15 each,Might be worth the time and money. | |

| Are there taxes from items purchased in the UK? When considering doing this,negotiate so that the taxes and duties are paid by the shipper.You might also inquire as to servicing this product in the US,as many companies discourage this to support the importer.Many won't perform service on produc... | |
| IC's and Humm You may experience a "ground" differential problem using different AC circuits.It is also possible that this may arise from the quality of grounding in the two cables.Had you tried "floating" the earth-ground on the humming culprit? | |
| Modded SACD player: SACD or Redbook sound best?" Having heard the SACD on many fine systems/equipment,I'm not a believer.Many will disagree,but I find the high frequencies not-to-my liking.Technology dictates that this should be the way to go-BUT! Multi-channel may be excluded,no experience ther... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 upgrades by McCormack of Virginia Due to the lineage of the DNA-1,I would imagine that the "parts" quality could be improved.Listen to the current generation and see if it is to your liking.I can't see a reason to monoblock these.Do you really need 300W+ for your speakers-efficenc... |
