| Help chossing a good speaker. $ 3-5 K Aerials 7Bs sound quite good with my McIntosh. The 6Bs or 5Bs I think would work fine for you as well. You'll be substantially under $3k used. | |
| I want to use an OTA HD antenna... I use one of these DB4 Multi Directional HDTV Antenna. Search for it on Amazon. Just this weekend I unhooked my cable and had this antenna in the attic. I had RG6 coax run from the attic to the crawlspace. I ran this to my TV. Good results. I drop... | |
| Best SS amp for Zu Druid Mk IV speakers Ralph, what is given up by high-efficiency, high-impedance speakers? I figure something must give, otherwise why would many well-known high-end speaker manufacturers make speakers that drop down to 2 or 3 ohms with efficiencies in the 80s? I've re... | |
| Tube Life: 6SN7, 6DJ8, 12AT7 et al. Do tubes wear out faster if they are driven harder? For example will listening at higher volumes wear them out faster? | |
| Which tubes to roll I found a good website with an explanation of the evolution of the these tube types, the hows, whys, and what-nots.http://www.jacmusic.com/KT88/kt88.htm | |
| Krell or Anthem ??? Well, the Krell is a much older model (4 years older; was introduced on '00). The Anthem does 7.1. The Krell retailed for $6k. I think the difference in capability and age is why. Plus I don't know about Anthem but the Krell new can normally be ha... | |
| Top Alternative Rock Albums of 2008 David Bowie Live in Santa Monica '72 was released this year. I went through every one of The WSJs top albums of the year and the Bowie one stood out. It makes a great case for "the don't do it like they used to." The performance is extraordinary. ... | |
| Which tubes to roll Thanks. I noticed in the manual it says that the following tubes can be substituted for the KT88s: 6L6, 6CA7, KT-66, 6550C, KT-90, KT-99 or EL-34. Just reading another thread and the poster likes the Mullard EL-34s much better than the KT88s. I no... | |
| Three Cheers for Pass Labs Yes, I considered them. Heard them on Apogee's. Wasn't blown away. Sounded ok but I've heard better. Nothing really stood out as exceptional. Also the volume was scratchy when adjusted. Still I'd like to hear some more because they garner so many ... | |
| Musical Fidelity A308 - Where is this unit made? Yeah, it was England. In fact I think mine had a tag or something that said it was proudly made in London. | |
| Need $1500 integrated amplification suggestions... You can't go wrong with the SLI-80 and even you don't like it you can resell it easily. I think you can do better than the MF and the Classe products IME. | |
| Classical Music on the Radio What you need is a Squeezebox or at least some way to stream stations from your computer. You'll have many choices then. I like WGBH in Boston.Satellite isn't so great at least on Sirius. They have them niched into symphonic, chamber, and pops. It... | |
| McIntosh MC252 with Totem Mani2 / Sig's Pardales, I ran my MC402 with a DAC straight in. Sounded good. I went ahead and went with a c2300 tube pre and liked the sound a bit better. The tubes added a nice tonality to the sound. The main reason I went with the pre at the time was because ... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Well, if you frame the question that way, I don't know any system that really meets the exact reporduction standard. You can go to any high-end stereo store or audio show and listen to many different very high-end systems and no two will sound the... | |
| Top Alternative Rock Albums of 2008 Well, listen to it first on their Myspace page before buying it. Let me know what you think. |
