| Budget vacuum tube preamp? Going with Unsound's questions, please list for us the input impedance and input sensitivity of your amp. If you don't know, tell us what amp you have so we can possibly look it up. Since we're on the subject, what's the output impedance of the co... | |
| Just starting out Audioengr: May I ask why you believe a transformer based preamp is better than a resistor based preamp? | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings Thanks Newbee. | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings 11flat6: I YouTubed Ivan Moravec last night and all I can say is wwwooooowww! His playing is so beautiful. I kept clicking video after video....must have been over an hour. I MUST find some recordings. Here in 2012, it's becoming more and more dif... | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Morganc: Apparently you will soon have three very well regarded dacs in your possession. I'm interested to see what you think...Sibelius Just wondering...how many hours of burn in did you give the Metrum before selling it? | |
| PS Audio GCC 250 vs Wyred 4 sound STi500 Ducks2007: I'm thinking about purchasing a Wyred amp. I also like a low noise floor. May I ask what products you prefer the Wyreds over? Also, in which ways? | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Wow Sibelius. After checking out the equipment in your system, I really am quite envious and hold your opinion regarding the EE/Metrum comparison in high regard. High efficiency speakers driven by low power tube amps is definitely my cup of tea. T... | |

| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm What's silly is a speaker which needs >500wpc. Steve Deckert has a slogan, "if the first watt sucks, why continue?" | |
| Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers? It seems to me that all of your ducks need to be in a row if you are to like Maggies. Meaning, issues that come into play are: amplification, location, aesthetics, etc. I only heard one pair of Maggies in my life and it was an awful experience, bu... | |
| Preamps waste of money? I have an Autoformer Tap X and an Lightspeed Attenuator. I would consider both the antithesis of "colored". | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm The more I'm thinking about this, the more I think it's absurd that a speaker needs 900 watts to sound good. Are you saying you have a speaker that needs 900 watts for the entire speaker, or just bass drivers? I'm not doubting the sound quality a ... | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm Sounds like what you need is a new pair of speakers. | |
| Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000 I am in no way saying that this cable is the only solution in your price range but in MY system, to MY ears, I've had great success with Crimson Cable. Cheap and incredible. Smoked Kimber Selects and Nordost Tyrs. |
