| PS audio m1200 Thank you all for the info and advice. I will continue to research your recommendations. And mossyrocks, it looks like those amps have 2 options for gain. Does it make a difference between the 2 gain options? And also, I am no expert either, ... | |
| PS audio m1200 Have you heard Bel Canto Ref 1000m? I'm just looking for cheaper amp options with high power at this point. I wish I could afford some Accuphase class A, but that's just not in the budget. My budget ran thin by the time I got to the amps. | |
| Custom rack, isolation under platform vs component? Thank you. And I added several metal brackets and I am almost completely satisfied with the rigidity. I have another set in the mail, and I'm confident that after drilling those in, it will be good. It is a solid, heavy rack where it stands. And I... | |
| Custom rack, isolation under platform vs component? Yes, you're probably right. I'm new to this and bought expensive speakers. Someone in an older thread I posted told me I'd learn a very expensive lesson. I do have a power conditioner but haven't gotten too much into those aspects. I'm sure I will... | |
| Custom rack, isolation under platform vs component? Thanks again for compliments. @jumia I'm new to audio, but have some background in physics. From what I understand, vibration in the components can come through the ground from speakers, through the sound pressure waves in the air, and that in... | |
| Custom rack, isolation under platform vs component? Thank you guys for the advice and compliments. I bolted the platforms down and used some steel bracing for support. It is now a pretty heavy and sturdy rack, and I pained the frame black to match my speakers and components. | |
| Custom rack, isolation under platform vs component? Thank you all for the replies and compliments. And the floor is solid wood. This was my first woodworking project. I did mortise and tenon joints. Since it was my first project, they aren't perfect joints, but the rack is definitely strong enough... | |
| Custom rack, isolation under platform vs component? Yes, thank you. I am thinking that I will bolt the platforms in to hopefully increase rigidity. I assume that would be most beneficial even if others say they prefer the feet under platform vs component. In my case the rigidity should probably be ... | |
| Custom rack, isolation under platform vs component? And it's hard to see from the picture, but the whole rack is on bigger isolation feet, so the rack is isolated from the floor. | |
| Vitus RS101 vs Dagostino Master Power 2+ @lordmelton , thank you for the input. I will look more into Vitus Class A amps. | |
| Rate my system/advise Thank you guys so much for your responses. @denverfred , haha ya I hope so. That's the plan. I do have some money in savings that I didn't want to spend, but I'll see how impulsive I am. There is an audio store in my state that carries Classe, ... | |
| Rate my system/advise @jonwatches1 thanks so much for the encouragement and advice. I will give updates in the future. Maybe I can find a trade-in with cash for the mcintosh to get a mark levinson 5101 in the future. Seems like a decent price. @sbank do you ... | |
| Rate my system/advise Baylinor, ya I will I guess keep it as is and then try to have some money saved up. I will be moving soon, and don't want it set up at my current residence for a few reasons. But when I move, I won't have as much disposable income, which is why I'... | |
| Rate my system/advise Santabarbara, thanks for the info and providing the link. I'll look more into Krell. I was looking into some Pass Labs amps or to save money, buying an older pair of ARC Ref 210 or VTM200. Do you think these older models will hold up, or should I ... | |
| Rate my system/advise Hahaha I think i get it tubebuffer. Never thought of it that way but you seem to know what you’re talking about. I love a good core. |
