| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? It might actually be true that: "...a 70 Watt tube amp provides more power than a 140 Watt solid stat amp." if used on speakers with an impedance of over 16 Ohms.But, selecting an amp involves more than just this issue, there are other variables t... | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates Perhaps not better, or even as good, but; I've always thought Leo Lyons of Ten Years After was overshadowed by bandmate Alvin Lee. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? ^Thanks for the prompt response. It appears as though your going to be a rather busy audiophile. Best of luck with all the new toys. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Al, any updates? | |
| Theres a firesale of the Modwrights oppo 105 units Is there a new Oppo 4K/HDR unit on the horizon? | |
| Best loudspeaker with coincident/coaxial driver Not sure if they would work for the OP, but Cabasse has an ah hem interesting twist on this idea. | |
| Best $500 amp to drive Paradigm Studio 100 V2s? George's post above suggests that the B&K ST 140 is not an ideal choice. The ST 140 doesn't like that impedance load. | |
| Best loudspeaker with coincident/coaxial driver I can understand why the OP chose the subject line that he did, as his 14 X 13 room is a bit on the small side (with other potential issues as well). If the speakers need space from rear and side walls, driver integration might become an issue; an... | |

I'm not sure, but I seem to recall that the Pass Laboratories pre's were not from ... | |
| Is no preamp really better that a good preamp? Phd; The Pass Laboratories Aleph L (2 different versions?) and Pass's First Watt B1 and B2 were interesting offerings. | |
| Repair or mod CJ PV-12? FWIW, when I used to use c-j gear, I found c-j very good to do business with regard to repairs and maintenance. | |
| Thiel Tweeter issue O.K., The CS 1.2's even with their 4 Ohm nominal rating are not that challenging a load for a Thiel. Still, that can be a struggle for many if not most receivers. Do check to see if your receiver is up to the task. Better amplification might be in... | |
| Thiel Tweeter issue Is/are the tweeter(s) damaged, or are you just trying to change the sound? What amplification are you using? How large is your listening room? | |
| Dan D 'Agostino, Mark Levinson, Jim Thiel, One can still buy some genuine "Thiels" from the new Thiel company. But alas, their latest models must have poor Jim spinning in his grave. | |
| wattage ^It seems as though many audiophiles find reality pointless.:-) |
