| What tube pre amp match up with a solid state amp I've been using balanced cables in various pro audio situations (and my hifi wherever possible) since the end of the last ice age, and I can say without a doubt there are HUGE differences among these cables. Better mic cables are better. I was rec... | |
| Polk Audio RT2000p or LSi 25's--- WHO CARES ??? As an elitist site manipulator, I like to have the last word. | |
| Polk Audio RT2000p or LSi 25's--- WHO CARES ??? Firstly (why say "firstly?"...not sure) this is NOT a forum representing free speech as it is controlled by the management, who are all adoreable and real smart (!)...secondly, ignorance is NOT bliss in most cases. I think life can be harder for i... | |
| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade Hey Hey Willie...It may be that they run cooler, although they didn't run very hot with the stock "warts"...they certainly run better though. My only compaint regards the super bright blue LEDs on the Pangeas, but I put a little tube headphone amp... | |
| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade The Pangea P100s are now selling at Audio Advisor for around 70 bucks each. | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier It's like buying a Mack truck to drive two blocks to the market. Silly, but sort of interesting. | |
| Choosing a Floorstander by Footprint Size Nobody mentioned Silverline Preludes, and let's keep it that way. I have a pair of these, they are pretty damn skinny, and they sound great, but I won't mention them. | |
| What is a better route, tube or SS preamp? What is weird is I THINK I can hear fine...I dislike squeeky or shrill treble, I seem to be able to hear a full range of music, and if there is some high pitched something or other I can't hear I prefer not to hear it anyway. I do have that thing ... | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test Common sense? What's that? Seems so common...I already have isolators on every bit of my gear, and if it was any more isolated it could all become depressed from lack of interaction with the outside world. | |
| Long throw 5 1/4 woofer?? I use a pair of very dynamic Silverline Preludes (latest model) with two amazing 3.75" (I measured 'em) aluminum/magnesium woofers per speaker, and they sound great...I use a good sub but still, they somehow kick it. I informally (I may have been ... | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier My Jolida does 60WPC at 50 lbs and I like it. I've seen those Boulder amps at Goodwin's and they're adoreable. I think anything that expensive should be gigantic as it makes the owner feel better about everything although I do want to see the vide... | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test I like to think I'm at the forefront of the Decoupling Movement, whether I am or not. I do tell people I am though, as it adds to my enigmatic demeanor. | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker NOS 1.6s are selling for around $2700 or so depending on the cabinet finish...used ones seem to be all over the map from maybe $600 to $1200. 4 grand sticks the 1.7 in a very competitive zone...PMC, Usher, Focal, etc., all have some bitchen' speak... | |
| What is a better route, tube or SS preamp? I'm not sure my SS pre to tube amp sounds better or worse than any other well assembled gear pile, but I've been having so much fun with my rig I don't care. I'd love to get a tube preamp eventually but the ones I like (with balanced outs and ins)... | |
