| Preamp help for First Watt F3 Just check the output impedance of all the recs that wilysnet just gave you. Some digital sources can have higher output impedances than what is common for preamps (though that may not be the case for these digital sources with volume control. I d... | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? Nope very little to lose on the MiniWatt. I use one with Psvanes (Grade A from Grant Fidelity) in my bedroom system, which had HornShoppe Horns. ALO Audio also sells these and offers some upgrade tube packages as well. I have also heard that their... | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? A shockingly inexpensive tube amp that is also surprisingly quiet is the MiniWatt N3. Quieter than much more expensive tube amps I have tried. And only 3 tubes to roll, making it cheaper to try out tubes like Psvanes (which I love in mine). Might ... | |
| Preamp help for First Watt F3 As you may have seen elsewhere, the rule of thumb is generally 10x less output impedance for your preamp than the input impedance of your amp. Across the whole audible spectrum. I used the very very low output impedance Musical Fidelity kW preamp ... | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie Juat getting into blues now, but I have had a good start lately on vinyl: Mississippi John Hurt "Last Sessions" Muddy Waters "Live at Newport 1960"John Lee Hooker "The Real Folk Blues"Good stuff. | |
| One sub in two systems: Is this possible? The Storm III has both the high level speaker inputs and low level RCA inputs. So yes, with that sub you could have it wired to both systems, and both inputs have separate volume dials for each input. You will just have to fiddle around to see whi... | |
| are some phono stages more resistant to hum? Something that worked for me with a P75 phono stage was running a wire from the ground post of my phono preto the chassis of my preamp | |
| Morrow IC Shoot me an email by adding gmail to my user name. Have some Morrw for you. 1 pair, maybe 2 | |
| Percentage of cable cost Check the Stereophile website for a report on a blind cable test done in Minnesota. Good reading | |
| Floorstanders with a large sweetspot You might want to look into waveguide designs | |
| electric ladyland/exile on main st The recent Legacy Electric Ladyland is incredible sounding. And the original US Exile is fabulous (reissue is junk, read Fremer's review).Good luck finding a good US original pressing Exile. Go to Amazon now and get the Electric Ladyland. Now. | |
| Best tube-based phono stage? A budget would help. At under $1000 and MM only, I liked the Quicksilver. At near $4k, it seems that the Zesto Audio Andros PS1 has been very well reviewed. | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend If anyone knows how to contact his family, it might be nice to refer them to this thread to know how appreciated Pubul57 was here. | |
| VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus Lewm, I can't speak to the Classic (though Jeff Dorgay at Tone Publications was raving about it recently). But you can see my direct comparison of the WTA and a Townshend Rock in a thread titled something like "Townshend Rock 7 Initial Impressions... | |
| System feedback coming thru speakers.....help +1 on getting your equipment into a grounded socket. I'd do that pronto. If you are renting, I'd talk to your landlord. Having safe electricity is a pretty reasonable request. If you own, then I'd spring for an electrician to give you some grounde... |
