| Seeking hot running amps OTLs - get some Atma-sphere monoblocks with a gazillion tubes. | |
| avantgarde UNO nano seeking a matching amp I have Duo Omegas which I formerly drove with Cary 300SEs, but now use Lamm ML2s - this is the best combo I've heard. I've also heard standard Duos with Audiopax 88 monos - superb.Other amps reputed to work well with Unos & Duos are Art Audio ... | |
| Ethics: To what degree? I think Hack has it right - if the unit is 6 months out of warranty, what's the issue here? | |
| Regards to the Rack Agree with the previous posters who praise the Grand Prix Audio Monaco Modular rack & amp stands - NOT a subtle improvement over my old Target racks, and worth every penny once one has invested significantly in their system. Be sure to fill th... | |
| Speaker recommendations specifically for Lamm ML2 My ML2s are sooo happy driving Avantgarde Duo Omegas, but a 12 x 12 room is too small for these speakers (need to sit 12 ft away). Agree with the 2-way idea per Dmailer... | |
| Wood or metal racks-Which do you prefer and why? Neither - I prefer the Grand Prix Monaco Modular racks & amp stands, which use carbon fiber and aluminum/stainless supports with either acrylic (base) or carbon fiber (upgrade) shelves. Magnifique! | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling Like Oneobgyn said, I've bought every tube except the 12AX7 from Lamm, with great service and prompt shipping. Why gamble with possibly saving a few bucks on tubes, when we've made such significant investments in our amps? | |
| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic Yes, Aktchi, modern properly designed & set up horns can have superb tonal & timbral accuracy - to my ears, everything sounds more real and present than speakers using cones & domes, 'stats, etc. | |
| sonic differences between cary slp98 & slp98 'dc' Yep, she's a keeper. I think you'll be one happy listener, especially at the price! Tube rolling will alos yield great benefits. | |
| What's your greatest purchase... Lamm ML2 amps. | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling I ended up with Tele box plate 12AX7s and Shunyata PCs. Very happy camper...my Avantgarde Duo Omegas have found a proper dance partner! | |
| Speakers for Cary 300sei Omegas would be great; I also had (with 300SE monos) great results with the Reference 3A speakers ("only" 92dB, but no crossover and stable impedance of 6-8 ohms). | |
| Tube CD-player question Balanced Audio Technology VK-D5SE. | |
| Going into the dark side.....please help I'd get an Arcam Solo and a couple of those small Gallos. The wife would be ecstatic, you have decent sound and minimal exposed cabling (the Gallos can be wall or high shelf mounted, and are waaaay better than anything Bose will ever make). | |
| Mapleshade brass tubedampers I have read that metal dampers can actually cause tubes to retain too much heat. I've had good luck with Herbie's Hal-o dampers, which are cheap and not dangerous to your tubes' life expectancies (either temperature-wise or hardness-wise). |
