| Outrageous used pricing on older McIntosh I have owned Mc gear and I don't understand why people pay ridiculous money for them. Nostalgia I guess, my last piece of Mc gear was a C15 that I paid $700 for....It was OK but no comparison to the McCormack pre that replaced it....I did apprec... | |
| Do all tubes glow Most do, Sovtek 12ax7LPS barely do though, it's hard to see but they do. | |
| Oppo 105D as media center I bought a 103D to use as a universal transport, plus for Netflix, Pandora, and my .wav and FLAC files.....it's a great machine.....I have a NAD M51 DAC and with a daughter in college the 103 was a better fit. The 105D is a great machine and I c... | |
| Tube preamp reliability vs SS? I have had a cj Classic 2SE for a little over two years and it's a great preamp....I love the sound it produces....It replaced a McCormack RLD-1 which was nice, don't get me wrong... The Classic blows it away so it was easy to give up remote volu... | |
| Suggestion used tube amp between $1,500-2,000 I have a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos I bought used for $1000 and they are great amps. They are good stock with EL34s but sound even better with KT66. The best thing about them is you can use many different output tubes, you just have to bia... | |

I am using a pair of 40w EL34 monos driving a pair of 87dB efficient bookshelves full range with a sub crossed over low just to augment what my speakers can't reproduce and it rocks....plenty of power in my 15 x 17 x 9 roomI had previously used a ... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? They aren't the same at all but each are good in their own right. Solid state is much more reliable and needs virtually zero maintenance. Tubes can be a pain but at the volume I listen to in my medium size room 40 watts is plenty. I like how my am... | |
| AV Receiver recommends My father has had an Anthem 510 for about 6 months and it has been great.....sounds awesome, blows away his B&K ref 20/ 5000II combo that he bought in 98.... Great feature set, much easier for him to use.....ARC is easy to set up, sounds great... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? Right now I am using a pair of Quicksilver Mid Mono amps and they are great, however I do regret selling my McCormack DNA 125.....that was a great solid state amp....I've owned a number of amps both tube and solid state and that 125 was one of my ... | |
