| Mystery with woofers. Help! To add to what @boxcarman said, I prefer attaching the speaker cables to the upper binding posts which drive the mids, tweeters where most of the music lives. then make sure the bass is still good, which is should be if your jumpers are well made.... | |
| Mystery with woofers. Help! I'd find some wire in my garage and make some temporary jumpers and be reporting back how the bass sounds by now. | |
| Under Pay Later - This listing contains contact information in the description????? Audiogon is paranoid about contact info. good luck. | |
| Will Accuphase E-800 be enough to power Klipsch La Scala speakers? I have a 1.8 watt decware that would drive them well and likely sound better. -Jerry | |
| Better DAC or better Streamer DAC hands down. I have a Chord Dave and it is huge. I also have the Farad power supply for it. I am not using mine now as I have gone Tube with Lampizator but in the AB the DAVE held it's own Jerry | |

| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato I only listen to contemporay music at the gym. I don't know the last time I heard a voice that wasn't electronicly modified. It is hardly music at all. | |
| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? Not likely. Man up and accept whatever is bothering you about tube amps. I'd replace your EL34 amps with a nice DHT amp. Aric, Apollo, Decware, etc. | |
| Am I crazy to upgrade? Love your plan. Those speakers are special. I agree with @erik_squires on Marantz. He recommended Marantz to me and I am very happy. Talk to Brandon Wade at Apollo audio systems. He owns Ulfs and also makes some nice high power SET amps tha... | |
| Help for me, money for you. So I recommend not using the onboard core. I have an Innuos Zenith MK3 (not in use right now) and the core is not implemented well. I used an external ROCK core (which I'll be listing for sale soon) which sounded much better. Innuos works bette... | |
