| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! Class D amps are very susceptible to AC quality, call your amp manufacturer for a recommended synergy. I had a transformer hum on one of my monoblocks on a Saturday afternoon and then switched my amps off my Shunyata Vray, to my Transparent Refer... | |
| Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers I can also recommend the Line Magnetic 518 integrated also. | |
| Refurbished Bluesound Vault 2 the Vault doesn't have wifi, the Nodes do | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? Keep in mind the MC462 makes 450watts into 2,4,8ohm, the Gryphon can output 950watts into 2ohm so with your more 4ohm ish speaker the Gryphon might have more control plus their Class A/AB biasing delivers tons of current. Because in my experience ... | |
| Manley Chinook or Any comparable Preamp? if you don't want to deal with tubes and are looking for something stone quiet, the Parasound 3 Jr is a bargain. if you want to tube roll Chinook, and buy from Kevin at Upscale | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 I have Rockport Aviors and my friend let me borrow his Devialet 140 expert pro with SAM profile.. it was amazing and so was the phonostage... plus not having to have streamers etc... I need to simplify my man cave living room of huge monoblock an... | |
| Theta Citidel vs Mcintosh MC 502 I own Theta Citadel 1.5, and owned the 1.0 versions prior. The 501 doesn’t have the output and control of the Citadel. I found you had to go to the 601 or higher really for the Mcintosh gear to open up. The 501 only makes 500watts, whereas the Cit... | |
| Budget hi-fi and vintage audio gear Or consider some powered monitors. what has already been said about old gear needing servicing is true and will be costly(I had a Carver amp i let sit in the closet for 2 years, and the caps dried out and it cost me $450 to fix the left channel a... | |
| Line Magnetic quality OMG I have owned Lamm ML2.1, M1.1, M2.1, Music reference RM200/RM9, CJ and ARC tube amps.. the Line Magnetic 518IA i bought is amazing!!! built quality is crazy good, zero hum, and I'm still running stock tubes on my 37k speakers. I am consideri... | |
| Preamp Advice for my System @bigddesign3 I agree that using the subwoofer crossover is killing your system. Plus I found the Bel Canto Ref 1000 to be polite and little boring. They are smooth. | |
| Switching between 2 amps , 1 set of speakers? https://www.technologyfactory.eu/index.php?item=luxman-as-55&action=article&aid=9212&lan... Luxman makes some high end switchers | |

| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system if you go solid state you need to change those solid silver interconnects or at least try a pure copper version from the dealers when borrowing. | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system Honestly, you should look at an Accuphase Receiver running in Class A with or without a Dac card. That would be a perfect match where you can keep the warmth of your tubes but with even more bass control. I have borrowed my friends Devialet 140 ex... | |
