| Standmount speakers 4k-8k What electronics (preamp, amp, source) do you have. It may be that the KEF have enough resolution to reveal characteristics in your electronics that other speakers do not. | |
| Anthem PA5/AVM 30 Anthem does not have a PA5 amp. It has a P5 and an A5 amplifier. In either case, I would probably say this would be a significant upgrade from the Onkyo receiver because you are putting so much more into an amplifier power supply with more amp o... | |
| First Watt F3 - Remote On/Off You can get a Furman PowerPort on ebay for $100-150. I think they are discontinued, but are cheaper used than the newer $250 Furman MiniPort. There are a couple ways you can use the PowerPort to automatically turn on the amp. You can use 12V pream... | |
| Review: Furutech TF-10A Pure Transmission Fuse Tweak Just following up on comments here. I originally tested the Furutech fuse along with several other fuses a few years ago. I came to the conclusion that the Furutech was the "fastest" fuse (i.e. all the instruments hit faster with more authority)... | |
| Melody Gardot - My one and only thrill Agree with everyone here. A friend told me about Melody Gardot sometime last year and I found that she's an excellent compliment to music such as Diana Krall and Norah Jones (as mentioned here). Her last two albums are available in hi-res at hdt... | |
| recommend DAC for mirror image audio .2p (preamp) with JBL 4344 The UD-H01 is an older lower-end DAC. I wouldn't recommend it for your level of listening. The newer Teac UD-501 (and possibly UD-503) have been getting good user feedback, but they will not be in the same league as the Schitt or Gustard DACs. ... | |
| How hard it is to replace the rca input on the shindo amplifier? The $100 Hakko 888D will be just fine for you. It’s, basically, almost just as powerful at the 951. The main difference is the usability and tip options. The 888D will have good tip options if you are doing basic connections and through-hole eleme... | |
| Since Krell 302e & Cary SPL-05 have (gain/imp issues) what tube pre is best w/ the krell? @4425 - well, I probably should have been more concise. When I say "Krell Phantom", most of the time I am seeing Krell Phantom III preamps. This particular model may sound good, but I think it's somewhat trim on the internals:http://i.ebayimg.co... | |
| How hard it is to replace the rca input on the shindo amplifier? @dangcaonguyen - thinking about this, I'm pretty sure I had a medium temp tip on the Weller WTCPT. It still had problems keeping heat on the tip. Sorry, it's been so long, I can't remember specifics. Good luck on finding a good soldering station. | |

| Is my amp the problem? Ok, good luck. the first 10 posts in that "The Emporium" section are just static pinned threads for rules/faq/etc. You have to scroll down further to get to the actual items for sale. | |
| Is my amp the problem? Emporium:- Go to Emotiva’s main website http://emotiva.com/ - Click on "Community" in the menu bar at the top- Scroll all the way almost to the end. There should be a forum call "The Emporium"- Scroll down. The topic/listing should still be on the... | |
| How hard it is to replace the rca input on the shindo amplifier? Metcal is supposed to be one of the best stations, but I have never used it. This particular model is only 35 watts. The tip determines the temperature, so if you get it, make sure you have a series 600 or 650 tip. Don't use anything too hot or... | |
| Is my amp the problem? Wow, I thought we were looking at cheaper alternatives, lol. I would avoid the Adcom. I had an Adcom GFA-545. It was on the warm/slow side and sounded dirty/smeared when compared to other better amps.The Emotiva XPA-2 is definitely a contender ... | |
| Is my amp the problem? The Parasound amps are the only stereo audiophile amps I have seen that have a volume/level control. The older THX certified multi-channel amps all had level controls, and pro audio amps have level controls. There's a Parasound A23 on Audiogon f... |
