| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? There are other variables to consider. Some speakers just tend to work better with ss amps. There are ss pre that offer room correction, I'm not aware of any tube pres that offer that. Some ss amps have impedance's that rule out many tube pres. So... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? I admired your effort. I do wish you a speedy and pain free recovery. | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? No, even if " money, space, heat, hassle etc. are no object tubes are still..." not necessarily the best way to go with either preamp or amp. | |
| Which speakers to get for a Very Large Room. I don't know if this will make much difference but, John Dunlavy told me that the recommended distance from listener to speaker, is based upon the actual distance from listener to speaker, not the distance from listener to the center of the plane ... | |
| The Denon POA 8000 mono amps? I always thought tubes were the way to go for for the top end of the IRS. In fact tube amps that are especially soft on top have been suggested. | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? I'm not that familiar with your speakers and didn't take the extra time Ngjockey took took to consider system compatibility. My suggestion was merely based upon your posted request. | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? That seems like quite an impedance swing from the Cary. I'm not sure I would want to be married to it. | |
| need an A/V amp for my thiel CS 2 I'm still confused, how many channels of amplification do you need? | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? I hate to repeat myself, but a Threshold S500 with new caps and a re bias appears to be just what your looking for. Though Threshold made very well received pres, many used them with tubed Audio Research and some used tube c-j pres. If memory serv... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Well Weseixas, I think we part ways on your appraisal of Class A. More often than not (but not always), I've found the more Class A the better the sound. The only problem is many so called pure Class A amps either don't have enough power for the t... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Weseixas, If some have speakers that don't operate within those impedances, why would it matter to them? | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Irv, I guess you didn't see his $2K budget limit? | |
| What is a better speaker than Totem? for = $$$ Advertising hype or not, I have to agree the Vandy 2 series just might be the best value in all of high end audio. Though Johnny might not agree, I think it important to warn perspective buyers that they can be room sensitive. Just because they're... | |
| need an A/V amp for my thiel CS 2 I owned CS 2's for many years and tried quite a few different amps with them. The CS 2's with their 6 Ohms nominal/ 5 Ohm minimum impedance, are probably the easiest of all Thiel speakers to run with tubes, but with your budget and what I perceive... | |
| Any benefit from" same brand" amp/pre-amp?? Perhaps that one went over my head, but I'm not sure Magfan was being sarcastic. |
