| How to evaluate amps that are not broken in? I agree with musicslug that the components will only sound better over time as the components within the gear start to break in and stablize.If you have only 2 days over the weekend I would let the gear play continously for a set period of time an... | |
| Fully differential tube power amplifier Good advice from tweak1; and if atmasphere pops in on this thread pay attention to his response. | |
| Soundlabs and magnepan mix on front stage????? I am running soundlab m2's with paradigm adp 450 actives for the rear surrounds and my center channel is a wharfedale active 8.2. My critical listening is 2 channel but the home theater is for the family;I would not worry on the rear surrounds and... | |
| Whats the best $1000 speakers maybe a pair of dunlavy sc3's; as they show up now and then here on audiogon. | |
| Hybrid - Tube / SS amp capable of sub 1 Ohm loads? maybe the moscode 401hr could;I would talk to george kaye and see what he says or recommends. | |
| How often do you swap out equipment in general I get the upgrade itch about 1.5 to 2 years;I always buy used and try to move up in a audible improvement; its a lot of fun and you don't loose a ton of money especially if you can move your used gear on audiogon. | |
| Good beginner tube amp suggestions I would look at that dynaco st70 rebuilt by Ray Vincent price looks good and the work performed looks quite nice as well. | |
| Good beginner tube amp suggestions what kind of music do you like,how big is the listening room and at what levels do you listen at? | |

| how does rogue zeus compare cat or atma-sphere? If they remain flat at 8 ohms I would consider the atmasphere ma1 mk2.3 or the ma2's (more power) very seriously; it may be worth a call to talk with Ralph from atmasphere; he is a great source of info and won't jam his gear down your throat; as t... | |
| I Have 100K for Speakers? I would think the 15-20k range would be the limit;but I have never heard a 20k pair of speakers; sure would be fun to listen though.I would like to hear the big soundlabs that Dr.West has out now; I have m2's and think they are excellant. | |
| Tube preamp with balanced in/out and remote? If you can find one a PSE HL-1 might work. | |
| how does rogue zeus compare cat or atma-sphere? I would think it would be hard to compare the zeus and cat with the atmasphere amps as it would be transformers vs OTL;which are 2 completely different species of amps with completely different designs.If you were driving a 16 ohm speaker my money... | |
| Speakers that have wide horizontal dispersion I always thought my dunlavy sc3's did a good job;I would think sc4's or sc5's would even be better. | |
| amplifier choice How about Odyssey Audio products that show up used often; they also have a transferable 20 year warranty and a upgrade path available; also Klaus is a class act. |
