| Reasonable RCA Connectors? My first set turned out great and sound wonderful with the switchcraft basic RCAs. After much research I'm thinking a set of Pure Harmony may be the best and cost effective option for me. One question about the Harmony plugs, the main (positive) s... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Check out the Bob Carver Raven 350 amps.I am hoping some reviews start popping up for the Carver Crimson 275 | |
| Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions yes i'm sure they will open up even more. The one thing I will do different the next go around is have a couple more alligator clips to help hold things in place with the double wires. I also found a way to deal with the outer sleeving without fre... | |
| Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions LessLoss cables are much more expensive the Duelund. I made my first set of Duelund 16ga RCA's today. Without any break in, the sound is much smoother and 3d compared to the BlueJeans cables they replaced. So sonically, I was able to improve my so... | |
| Nuforce STA200 The hiss with the Nuforce should be louder than the Sony due to higher than normal gain. Do you have a friend’s house you can take the amp to and try there? Also, light dimmers have caused noises with my systems in other homes. Even if the dimmer ... | |
| How long should Pre amp (12au7) tubes last in Rogue Preamp? Thanks for the info. I may purchase a set of Gold Lions sooner rather than later so I have working back up tubes. | |
| How long should Pre amp (12au7) tubes last in Rogue Preamp? No, just curious. The tubes are fine. I like how they sound...just curious thats all. When it is time to replace, I may try the Gold Lions only because many owners who own the RP-5 say the first thing they do is switch the tubes and talk about a n... | |
| Nuforce STA200 The Nuforce should be dead quiet with Just the sys. When I had my RP-5 in for warranty work, I used my Pro-Ject s2 Pre Dac as a preamp. Dead quiet. I mean dead quiet!!! My Zu's are rated at 101 db. Slight tube hiss is normal (ear against speaker) ... | |
| Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models? When I was shopping last year, the Canadian dealers had much higher MSRP to reflect the exchange rate, thus, the discount rate was really no different than the US discounts. Maybe things have changed | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns Ill second GIK room treatments. I’m in the middle of treating my room. I just added GIK absorbers at first and second reflection points. WOW. Sounds as if I upgraded my system instantly. My next move is corner bass traps then ceiling absorbers. C... | |
| Current McIntosh mc275 Questions I should have been more clear. What BRAND of tubes or who makes them for McIntosh ( JJ, EH, etc) | |
| Current McIntosh mc275 Questions One question answered... the 275 has fixed bias so no adjustments are needed. That’s great | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? I’m building my first set of cables using switchcraft ( so my mistakes are not too expensive). If all goes well, I’ll seek nicer RCA’s. | |
| Nuforce STA200 Japol316What Pre amp are you using? You could always hook up a DVD or CD payer directly (do not play anything...it could damage speakers) and see if the hiss is there. I had a hiss issue but it was due to my RP-5 tube pre output. I solved with a S... | |
| Voltmeter readings and settings when building RCA Interconnect Thanks. Just general continuity from end to end? |
