| Rectifier Tube Clarification/Help W/ Dared 2000a I had a 2000a and by far the best sounding rectifier I used was a Bugle Boy 5AR4/GZ34. It didn't seem to harm the pre, but I never checked if there's anything about its output that could add stress. I also tried a 5Y3, but the BB 5AR4 was night an... | |
| Great speakers for a small room Totem Sttafs work really nicely in a room that size. They're small so they don't use a lot of space, and bass response in that size room is more than adequate. I think they go for $1500 new. | |
| Von Schweikert VR 3 yes I do. | |
| Does anyone like country I like, and listen to a lot of country (as well as bluegrass), old (traditional) and new (pop), but not all. It's probably 10% of my listening though. I listen mostly to Jazz, Rock (though this also includes country rock), and Classical. | |
| Von Schweikert VR 3 Close your spacing between the speakers up to 7-8 feet ane reduce the toe in. The large distance between them is likely leaving a hole in the middle of the soundstage. You are compensating for this with the extreme toe in. I agree, mine are about ... | |
| Have you turned your loved ones into audiophiles it's not gonna happen in my family. Neither my wife nor my kids have the least bit of interest. They listen to the car radio and ipods and have a very limited range of musical interest.My wife does tolerate my hobby - including putting up with equ... | |
| Pass Lab XA30.5 with Totems I've driven my Mani-2s using a tube amp set in Triode mode (~30 w/c) and they sounded wonderful. I didn't drive them hard with rock music, but the Jazz/classical/acoustic music I was playing was fantastic. | |
| Von Schweikert VR 3 I have a pair of VR3's and even though I moved up to VR4genIII's kept them for a spare system. The value of them used is far below the quality of their performance. Top to bottom they're excellent. | |
| What is the best way to add a 5:1 system RR, your speaker switch should work fine. The only concern I would have is what it does to the sound quality of your MC202. | |
| What is the best way to add a 5:1 system Thanx much for the tips. It will be a while before this happens, but thought I would get a vision for it should look like. Sounds like I will need a processor and another amp with 3 channels, or would it be easier to have one amp for the 5:1 and t... | |
| What is the best way to add a 5:1 system db . . . it will work fine. I have a PAV that I use for Stereo (amazing stereo pre) and I moved it to my HT, using my Lexicon MC-1 for 5.1 input to the PAV. It worked fine, but because of ventilation issues in my HT rack it over heated so I had to... | |
| What is the best way to add a 5:1 system . . . what Jeff said. This is how I did it and it works great. It's also key that you choose a center channel speaker and amp matched to your mains. Likewise (but less so) for your surround speakers/amps. | |
| How large is your music collection? Synthfreek - what piece is playing on the soundtrack? | |
| Lexicon MC-1; DC-1 Power supplies yes it did. It works as new now. | |
