| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I turn off my tube units from the back and if I don't listen for weeks I unplug them off. | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? A $300K system would definitely include a $30K ~ $62K pair of speakers. I have listened to the Vandersteen Model Seven Mark II and a $100K system with the B&W 800 D3 and both sound amazing to me.Both systems had a very fine and expensive turn... | |

| I'm thinking about a Jolida system, and would like to know from those in the know! eag618,Good morning all from the Whaling capitol of the world!I am on the verge of either the Rogue Cronus Magnum II or a Joilda 3502S and their phono pre.Comments please, especially about the sound, stability, build quality, service and anything ... | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! I keep seeing great reviews about these KEF LS50 speakers. I auditioned them hooped up to a Parasound A21 and a Krell 300i integrated amp and honestly I was not impressed at all. Sound was thin, bright, not resolving enough for a $1,500 speakers... | |
| Rotel Power Amp gone awry Wow I'm glad that you were not harmed! Next time before attempting any service discharge those big capacitors, triple check for existing voltage and use a good pair of electrician rubber gloves and a very well isolated screw driver.My advice is t... | |
| Finding the 'weakest link' when upgrading? elizabeth,Yes, the whole thing!$70K is not bad at all. I have a friend who says for him $100K is a good entry level. Darn rich boy! jajajaja.I have my eyes on the $100K system that I auditioned and be done with it.Are you going to drive your $70K... | |
| Finding the 'weakest link' when upgrading? Hi elizabeth,I think the best way to upgrade our audio is to upgrade the whole system, not jut one component. I guess it is almost impossible to notice big differences in sound just upgrading a speaker, a preamp, amp, DAC, etc. because there will... | |
| Tube Preamps..... I personally don't get the LISST tube thing for the Freya as there are already 2 non tube stages built into the thing, although higher gain or fear of tubes may be the reason…in any case I've settled on NOS Sylvania "chrome domes" in the first tub... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Every body’s amp is the best in the world. A Mark Levinson amp owner will claim that this amp is the best sounding amp in the world, same for an Audio Research amp owner, Bryston’s amp owner, Krell’s amp owner, Ayre’s Amp owner, CJ’s amp owner, Mc... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? The preamp is the brain, the nervous system of your audio system. You cannot beat a good SS amp with a good tube preamp combo. Well, I like tubes only also, I love both setups. Just depends of the kind of music that I listen or my mood for music. ... | |
| Audible Illusions...GREAT SERVICE The AI Modulus 3A is the best Preamp in the world regardless of money. I had one for such a long time, but one day it needed service and sent it to the factory, it took about a year to get it back. I had to get a lawyer to get it back. Because of ... | |
| Tube Preamps..... Freya with Russian 6N8S (NOS) tubes is only $699. Better yet with Tung-Sol 6SN7 and Octal LISST upgrade tubes for $959.00.I'm told this Freya Preamp will kill any Audio Research or CJ offering. I have the Valhalla 2 tube heaphone amp and drives my... | |
| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? Most real instruments sound horrible in most speakers, specially in digital recordings which sound horrible bright, thin, edgy, sometimes not even within the note, like a good $20k hand made Spanish guitar, piano sounds harsh, violins sound thin &... | |
