| Second failure of new amplifier Rcprince, No I think I read the STOCK tubes welded themselves in place he was able to actually remove them and replace the fuses etc... After that with the NOS... I might be wrong | |
| Second failure of new amplifier #1 - Fact is you had no choice but to replace the tubes since the first unit took them out in the first place.. #2- no it should have nothing to do with a warranty putting different but correct tubes in the unit. #3- at the VERY least the dealer s... | |

| Adcom 5802 Stereo amp Hmm, that should get some pretty decent temp out of the fins than.. Not sure, I had a 5800 series 10 years ago, it would get a bit toasty with 90 db 4 ohm type speakers, but again it was in an enclosed cabinet.. So it might not get too bad with th... | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont Thought all those guys worked for wilson at some point as well? | |
| Adcom 5802 Stereo amp Depends on your speakers.. If they are very efficient probably 93 db or better, and a 8 ohm load or better you may never break a sweat. | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont Interesting, I had 2 people that lived near me owning these.. They both ended up feeling after 6 months to a year of use their time to shine had expired.. Not sure, I heard them, okay but nothing all that astonishing to me. They lacked that jump f... | |
| New room problems? The Big puffy couch can help a lot, or added big chairs.. However for the best case from what you explain some really good Wood vertical or horizontal blinds for some diffusion, and maybe heavy drapes for the windows as a dressing would help quite... | |
| New room problems? Thats a super narrow room.. And I would assume no matter what you do the Side walls and corners are within 18" of your speakers.. Its gonna be tuff, I got away with a room of the exact same dimensions but one foot wider at 12.5 feet opposed to the... | |
| Help What Say You - Amp choices Hawk28, seeing your responses.. I will offer my bottom line opinion specifically on the amps you are seeking.. Price for you Used, the rogues and mcCormack are better buys. However Tubes vs. solid state is not so much an issue here as to be quite ... | |
| Help What Say You - Amp choices Tubes have Zero issue with bass, and actually in my experience Deeper, Fuller, and more impactfull bass in many cases as long as everything else impedance wise and speaker efficiency wise are taken into consideration with much care. | |
| Direct connection of CD to Power amp If its a good match its a good match... Some will be some will not.. 90% of the time a tube preamp in the middle will change things for the better if the system needs something more.. You don't so leave it alone. | |
| Emarald Physics for Home Theater? I would assume that these especially with the open baffle design will be rather lively and anybody on first impression downing them will be mostly due to room acoustics. | |
| Pink Floyd best CDs soundwise The new Box set that cost more than any on the planet I think is probably pretty good, its like 300 plus retail I believe. I have not heard it but I would assume worth a shot. However the BEST digital versions I have heard are in the Columbia rele... | |
| Accidental improvement in performance...cheap Makes perfect sense, which #1 the sueded surface helps knock down the reflections behind your head, and the Air in such a contained capacity is the best bass damper you can find, Air cavity. Or a big fuzzy couch will do this with less of an obstru... |
