| what would you change if anything, in this set up? I'd get a sub, a different DAC or an Off Ramp. | |
| What to upgrade on $3,000 budget I'd be thinking about working around the Airport Express and then maybe thishttp://app.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-ayre-v-5xe-fully-balanced-zero-feedback-2012-12-22-amplifiers-21703-frederick-md | |
| VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus There is an anecdote around somewhere how Firebaugh put together a deck at a trade show with parts from everyday life. The golf ball may have been a part of that build. While this may seem over the top kooky, in the end it is the essence of functi... | |

| Magico V3 with tubed amplification, will it work ? For a few more bucks you should look into Rockports Mira II. It's a very subjective hobby. I've had a pair of Avalon Eidolons for some time now. Right or wrong almost all other speaker systems just don't sound right to my ears anymore. The same co... | |
| Metrum Octave Mod and cable suggestion Srosenberg, who did the mods? What was the cost? | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Excellent choice. My tube amp experience is limited to Marantz 8B, 9s, and just recently Carver VTA 180s powering Avalon Eidolons. It was difficult to find a tube amp to drive the Eidolons after years of solid state.While the Carvers live up to th... | |
| Power Conditioner for Video under $500? ["this is a very unwise suggestion as it would completely unbalance your transformer's loading as well as increase IR voltage drop of the phase bearing the entire load burden. Never ever do this.']Once I described my goal to my electrician he sugg... | |
| Hi, I'm new here, and I'm an addict... No offense but you may be working backwards. If your center space is limited that should be the first speaker to purchase then match the rest of the speakers to the all important center channel. Balance and uniformity. The surround speakers you pu... | |
| Static electricity: Unique to Vinyl Systems? Good to hear. RFI is only increasing. I ended up shielding my AC power from my dwellings service entry to the audio systems power cables. An under 1K upgrade that provided a substantial improvement. | |
| My amp has no faults ["So I would not describe tubes as having 'amplification faults'. If anything they have less. We use them in our studio too :)"]Neither would I, but many "may" view them as having faults such as tube degradation, heat, and cost. Aside from the phy... | |
| My amp has no faults For me convincing is more a product of the speaker and the amplifier than just the amp. That said:My NuForce and now nCores have, to a large part, spoiled me for most linear solid state amplifiers. Of course there are new solid state amplifiers th... | |
| Static electricity: Unique to Vinyl Systems? Is there carpet under your system? Is the heat in your dwelling extremely dry? Is your system powered by multiple AC circuits? | |
| Is it possible to have an accurate speaker Wolf, I so hear and feel that pain. When the folks at Meyer Sound Labs installed and calibrated their system at Yoshi's in Oakland the house reinforcement was simply stunning and throughout most of the room.A few short weeks had past when the prof... | |
| Is it possible to have an accurate speaker The late Brian Cheney did some very impressive live vs amplified sound comparisons at a few hifi shows that must have been difficult to set up and the results were very impressive. Surprisingly, the general public didn't seem very interested in th... |
