| Why the facination with integrated amps? I’m finding this discussion interesting and valuable. Integrates vs separates is something I’m contemplating as I think about replacing my entire rig. Maybe it’s time to stop buying all separate equipment like amps, preamp, phono stage, dac, trans... | |
| Ed Martin: Marcof Tim, thanks for the connection. I spoke to Ed last night. What a great conversation! And I completely agree with your comments above. Mike | |
| Ed Martin: Marcof I was only at his house once in the 80s. Couldn't even tell you the neighborhood. I used to go to the store frequently. I bought a lot of their stuff. But I learned a ton from Ed too and that was more valuable to me. | |
| Talk but not walk? geoffkait, what's inside the Mpingo? I don't recall it being said that there was anything inside. I can't find a reference to that on the web. I remember the stir these things caused in the 90's. Its kind of like the current tuning discussion. | |
| Ed Martin: Marcof Thanks all- I will contact Brooks in CA. Any details on contacting Will Vincent? Maybe he is closer to me in St. Louis. | |
| Pros and cons of leaving your DAC on 24/7 I'm very pleased with the V90. I bought it as an experiment. I was just going to upgrade my CD player. But I realized I had other digital sources that all would benefit from a DAC. I would just use my CD as a transport. I didn't know what to buy ... | |
| Pros and cons of leaving your DAC on 24/7 I do hate the wasted energy that is caused by leaving my equipment on. But as I stated in my OP, waiting for components to warm up is a problem for me. Some nights I may only have an hour or two where I can listen to music after work. Losing part ... | |
| Pros and cons of leaving your DAC on 24/7 Thanks for the feedback. I leave my vintage SS preamp and amp on all the time. But the DAC is newer technology and I didn't know if that made a difference. | |
| I've got the Summertime Blues. Power conditioner necessary? You might not need to spend a lot to solve this issue. I was having some noise issues as well. And sometimes crackles coming thru the speakers during summer storms that happened often where I live. On a recommendation from another forum I bought a... | |
| Which Subwoofer would you choose? Another vote for the Dayton from Parts Express. They are new with warranty and fit your budget. Parts express stands behind their products. I've used several in this line of subs when setting up budget systems and you can't get more for your money. | |
| Like the new look to audiogon ? Hate it. I'm looking for amps that were listed yesterday and can't find them. I'm sure they all didn't sell. And the round thumbnails inside the larger box are too small to see what the product is when using small screen devices. Why show a round ... | |
| Vibration isolation an issue in a concrete basement That's very interesting. Thanks! | |
| Vibration isolation an issue in a concrete basement Geoffkait, that's very interesting. Where can I find information on the type of platform you describe? Thanks. | |
| Vibration isolation an issue in a concrete basement I am tackling the room acoustic issues next. It sounds like the siesmic vibration issue would be difficult to address given the low frequencies that are involved. Isolation effective down to 1HZ could be a challenge. That's if the info I found on ... | |
| Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel Take a look at the KG4.2. Not expensive $3-400. Don't need a sub in a room your size. They image well and crank. |
