| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? What type tube are you using now? If you go with the 88 you must use a KT88 tube. The V4 and mid- monos will allow you to use different type tubes. Just remember there is a big difference in the type of tubes that are used. I have a QS Silver 70 a... | |
| Vandersteen 3 w/ARC d240 MKII Good move! I had them years ago and could never get them to sing! | |
| Amp and preamp on same outlet? That punishment is not severe enough. He should be stripped naked and hung by his toes and stoned to death by the villagers with VPI magic bricks and his remains hauled off for the vultures to feed on! | |
| Amp and preamp on same outlet? The outlet is most likely on a 15 amp circuit that is rated for 1800 watts. If you total everything that is on that circuit it will not come close to that. If the breaker has not tripped then you should be fine. Enjoy your stuff and don't worry. A... | |
| Best speaker stands for KEF R 300 Check out Sanus they are a bargain. Take a look at Wafair.com you can get real good prices from them with free shipping. | |
| Should I switch to a preamp with balanced outputs Well excuse me you did mention new in your thread. I owned a classe preamp years ago and it was real nice but it still is not better than what you have now. But if you want to make a change go ahead and do it. You might regret the musicality of tu... | |
| Should I switch to a preamp with balanced outputs You would be wasting your time and money. Nothing for $700 would come close to what you have. BTW,where can you get a new preamp with a phono stage for $700? | |
| Platter Levelling Issue You are being way too anal! | |
| Floor Stander with Small Footprint 7K - 15K Check out the Spendor line of speakers. | |
| Vandersteen 3 w/ARC d240 MKII I have owned the 3's and placement is more critical than any speaker that I've experienced. The only way I could get them to sound ok was when I would tilt them back between 60 and 45 degrees. So I don't think the problem is the amp or the cables. | |
| My SF trip - finally heard a Harbeth I own the P3's and I think they are a bargain. They are better than many speakers I have owned at more than twice the price. Sometimes I am amazed that these little boxes can put out such a big sound. I even like the nice accurate tight bass on th... | |
| Gently used cassettes How would you know that they were recorded once? Ebay has listings for over 5000 cassettes new. Why bother with used cassettes when new ones are so cheap? | |
| recommended phono preamp for $2500? Check out the Quicksilver for $1600. I have an older one and I love tubes with a phono preamp. BTW,what cartridge are you using? | |
| Please help a rookie –used amps for magnepan 3.7? Check out ODYSSEY AUDIO. You can get the Stratos Mono amps for $2700 . They received an outstanding review in the December issue of TAS. As a matter of fact the reviewer uses maggies. At that price why buy used? | |
| Looking for a small, good receiver Teac AG-H300. The model is not in production anymore,but you can find it on Ebay. My sister in - law has one and it is very compact (less than 9 inches wide). |
