| Adcom GFP-750 compared to AR LS-15 And I would second that opinion having owned both. | |
| Replacement amp for Magnepan 2.7s? Unless you have an emotional attachment to the Aragon scrap it and move into something more in tune with your Maggies and has some resale.Bryston amps were my choice but the squared series would exceed your price point.That said,an older 4B SST ra... | |
| Power for CAT preamp Cabling like art is sometimes foolishly priced and there are many guys getting rich in this market.Wish I was that smart.Place your ego aside,you simply don't have to spend $800 to $1500 for a top shelf PC.I've owned many supposedly world class ca... | |
| Audio Horizon Pre Owners - Tube recommendations? I owned a TP 2.0n fully modified to a 2.2 version and found the tube of choice for premium performance are Siemens CCa's.As I recall several other members of the AH fan club also tubed with CCa's and I believe that's what Joseph uses in his person... | |
| Cost of running a tube amp. I run Coincident Technology Dragons at 75 wpc Class A.The heat generated by the 211 tubes heat my music room nicely and if the math is correct,probably at less cost than conventional heating.I'm really fooling myself because I haven't yet had to b... | |
| Anyone else receive low offers right away ? Yup,why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly. | |
| Tube Pre-Amp Recommendation The 2 Dudes that recommend the Dude are spot on.I owned a REF 3,it was a very accomplished pre amp but not in the same league as the Dude. | |
| Tube Monoblocks in the 5-7K Range Well if you are so inclined I have the Boss of Bosses.A pair of Coincident Dragon 211PP's rated at 75 wpc Class A.For more information on these wonderful amps take a moment and peruse Arthur Salvatores' website.I will be posting them in the new year. | |
| Pre-amp for Magnepan 3.6 and Bryston 14B I owned several iterations of Bryston amps in combination with Magnepan speakers and for a time I did have the 14BSST paired with a pair of 1.6's.It was fairly obvious to me that a tubed pre amp was a requisite to filling out the sound.I tried sev... | |
| Did I blow my tube amp? It is my understanding that you never under any circumstancespower up a tube amp without connecting to your loud speakers.Yes there is a very good chance you have damaged your amp. | |
| Bryston 4b or 3b SST I've also used both amps with Maggies and Elizabeth is spot on. | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Skip the 6 and wait for the 7. | |
| Preamp Recommendation For My System Upon warming up the musical presentation is emotionally immediate.It is not an AR or a CJ sound,rather it is very satisfying in its presentation of the entire musical landscape.It brings an utter sense of poise to the music,a layer of timing and t... | |
| Preamp Recommendation For My System Don't make a move until you've taken the Audio Horizons for a test drive.Company still offers free home trial.It is in a different league. | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Hi guys I'm another happy Ayon owner,CD5.So impressed with the on board pre amp,like Gammajo,I'm simply running direct to my amp.In the last several weeks I was fortunate enough to score a quad of slightly used 1980's Old Stock Reflectors at a fav... |
