| Which pre should I choose? If you want to inject some real warmth and feeling, try a tube pre amp. Sometimes having the right tube pre amp with a solid state amp can really bring awesome results! Proper matching of impedence should be no problem, with the right unit. I know... | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? I have a Dynavector 10X5 on a REGA P3 with the Manley Chinook Phono Pre, 45db is more than adequate for the 10X5! (this is my goto backup rig) I also have a Pro-Ject Xtension 10 with a Dynavector 20X2 Low .3mv and 60db is plenty for that cartridg... | |
| Alternative of the pre/power amps Tonlab ,If you keep your M1's then all of these combos you mention are very good indeed (i like the Krell least of the above they run Hottt). I however would also include a pair of McIntosh mono blocks MC500w or MC1200w or the MC600w stereo amp wi... | |

| Ferrofluid tweeter As far as hearing goes....Tweeters only make a ssssssssss sound, they don't handle freq's that shape mid range vocals, they do have to move very fast and handle a lot of power so tweeters are the most rugged driver in a speaker, I would put the fl... | |
| Best Subwoofer Connection I'm fairly certain that you will use your 2nd pre amp outs to the E110 directly, then you will be able to set up the sub using the external controls to adjust the E110 FULLY (you are going to have xover control)! Sending another pair of signals fr... | |
| Hardware Options for Streaming Music From Internet via Pandora, Tidal, etc. You should check out a Aurender X100L Music server connected with a USB Audio cable to a Oppo 105........Stunning versatility and sound! Plus the Aurender Conductor app for tablet control is the BEST on the market period! Matt M | |
| Can I Pair Audio Reseach Ref 3 w/ the McIntosh MC2505 Poweramp? Reuben the MC2505 is a nice rugged little amp, and it is a warm sounding amp. The Idea of using a tube pre amp is a good one. But, consider that having too much warmth may be a bad thing. I would highly consider purchasing a Mac solid state pre am... | |

| Warm-up time for amps and preamps My system takes at least 45 minutes to warm up and sound correct. Turn it on once if Im going to listen then I turn it off once. | |
| Can an old Thorens Table be "Over Dampend" to the point where sound is adversely effected? A lot of people like to dampen these older Thornes tables either on the interior of the wooden plinth or all over the inner metal spring board, and arm board, they use things like "Blue Tac" or that Dynamat stuff in car doors. It will kill the sou... | |
| Help with MC Cartridge Recommendation to Swap from Ortofon 2M Black MM The Dynavector 20X2 L .3mv or H 2.8mv (9g) with the Manley Chinook and your Table/Tonearm would work very well indeed, if your looking to add some edge and attack along with great detail and effortless highs, striking liveliness with great tone an... | |
| Cartridge recommendations for second system turntable please Ok Do not put a DENON DL 103 on this turntable! not a good match. Go with a Dynavector 10X5 $650 high output MC or a Dynavector 20x2 $950 it comes in low .3mv or High 2.8mv. I would choose the high output one. Both of these are MC’s, I think MM’s ... | |
