| Adding a tube amp is a good idea? I knew it!! I think you will like the Elekit 8200. Read some very good things on that unit. If you like it (and I'm quite sure you will), consider upgrading to Lundahl OPT. I think it will pair up great with your FR driver in triode. I have a ... | |
| Adding a tube amp is a good idea? @jfuquay Curious. What amp kit do you have and what speakers? | |
| Surge protectors--how many $ make sense? If you are looking for true surge protection, I suspect the SurgeX products would fit the bill. Of course, there are those that would never accept such a "non-audiophile" product. I suspect on many systems, current limiting would not be an issue... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @teajay Let me state what you already know. This forum has a higher percentage of members that like to rip on whatever. Just a few years ago, it seemed like there were more posts from true gentleman whose mission was to help other members, not... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List Nice to see reviews of high value equipment in the mix. But that QSA stuff--an $18k power cord or how about a $6.5k duplex outlet. How can you seriously endorse such products. Guess if you have money to burn. | |
| Equipment insurance coverage Please understand, all insurance companies spend most of their time and money on one thing---HOW NOT TO COVER CLAIMS. Sad but true. Check out how much money the insurance industry spends on lobbying efforts. Criminal, but legal in America. | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? Many different points of view. I will add a few of my own for the OP. --a kit would not typically be a big factor in my decision making. Why? Simple. The markup of amps from Elekit, Analogue Ethos, AK kits from kit to pre-built is actually small ... | |
| What did you get for Christmas? @rpeluso Sure it counts! You must be quite excited as that looks to be a very nice addition. Let us know how your present sounds once you get it set up. | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @hilde45 Happy New Year to you as well. I read your post with interest in several regards. One of the things that makes Fritz speakers unique is his use of a series crossover. (Built a bookshelf speaker with classic Vifa drivers and a series c... | |
| Location of compoments. Like most things in life, it all depends. Especially if you have a TV between your speakers which are all in close proximity--bad idea. In the case of my audio room, a small rack is 5 feet behind the speakers. If anything, it probably helps i... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @vuch i couldn't agree more with your observations. My secondary systems are all capable of providing a large portion of musical enjoyment to be certain. Do they do everything my primary system can do? Certainly not. But in some regards, with ... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps @scotthiga That is what I would have guessed. You are looking for more meat on the bones. The warmth and humanity of tubes! In my limited experience, the bigger push pull tube amps brought me closer to solid state. So I went from a 14 tube amp... | |
| And a Ho! Ho! Ho! To All! Regarding forgoing the "feats of strength"--nonsense! Suggest we begin the competition to see who can lift the heaviest mono blocks! That is just the beginning. Then there is the speaker deadlift. And for those who haven't blown a lumbar disc, ... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps Nice. Sounds to me like you have many options given those speakers and subs.. Now it would be good to know what kind of sound you are seeking. What is it that your currents amps are not bringing to the table? What kind of music do you enjoy an... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps @scotthiga If you really want to experience what tubes are all about suggest you do a simple SET integrated with a full range driver. Check out Analogue Ethos. You can do a kit or prebuilt. Beautiful cosmetics and I suspect great sounding as ... |
