| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please PM sent to OP. I have a set of the monster cables from the 80s. You might enjoy something to compare to those speaker cables as a first step. There's good advice above for both cables and speakers and such. I think that you might be pleasantly su... | |
| Morrow power cables I tried a MAP1 on a whim, and found that it improved the noise floor in one of my setups in use with the tube preamp. More recently I’ve enjoyed a pair of dedicated lines for the main system. The power cord doesn’t seem to matter as much as it onc... | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? Gilmour’s Gdańsk live cd, Fat Old Sun through WYWH. I appreciate the music suggestions so far, but is it possible to share playlists from any of the streaming services? | |

| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? We have a variety of styles that folks point to as the proper way to assemble a system. Start with the speakers! The preamp is the heart of the system! You'll have read this here and other chat groups. For decooney's question, Louis and I discuss... | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? I was in the same situation some time back. I was using an Inspire Firebottle power amp, and Omegas seemed to be a natural pairing with with ten to eighteen watts of SEP power. The website was frustrating in the same manner. However, a phone call ... | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... If the OP has a preference for solid state, perhaps a First Watt might fill the bill and be dynamic enough for the Altecs. Even a 30.8 seems like overkill here. An XA25 is very often described as highly transparent. I am partial to the Pass produc... |
