| KT120 longevity I've been using an octet of KT-120s for about the same length of time in a pair of Rogue M-180s. I use the amps for much of the day nearly every day. No issues so far. I previously blew 3 KT-90s (along with their fuses) in the same amps. This remi... | |
| Where to go from Rogue M-150 amps? Is there a reason besides logistics that you don't want to do the Rogue upgrade? I think that would be the most cost-effective way to go. That and replacing the power tubes with KT-120s, which will give you more extension both on top and bottom. B... | |
| Recommendations for a "summer" amp? No one should apologize for not wanting to run an AC unit just to listen to some music comfortably. | |
| Vandersteen Amp? If Richard can get some plutocrats to pry open their wallets, that's fine with me. As long as some of that money "trickles" down to improvements in his more affordable speakers. | |
| Square room Soundstage?? Apart from DIY, atsacoutics has the cheapest panels and corner traps that I've seen. | |
| Anton Dvorak Symphonie NR.5 9 E-MOLL OP.95 Yeah, many of these early 60s DGs had this kind of natural miking. The Jochum Bruckner recordings, for example, are much more natural than the later EMI set in Dresden. | |
| Looking for help on upgrading my entire vinyl rig. It will be interesting to know what the Sutherland does for the sound of your current carts. | |
| Rega RB300 tonearm VTA adjusters I never found the Michell adjuster very easy to use. | |
| Rogues Cronus Magnum -KT120 version Integrated amp I wish they'd had this version earlier. I was not impressed with the regular Cronus with EL34 tubes.The KT-120s are also a big step up in Rogue's M-180 monoblocks.I've tried clear tops and bugle boys in the M-180s, but I've gone back to the Philip... | |
| Best classical SACDs out there I actually have the 24/96 download of this, but it's heavenly:http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-Clarinet-Concerto-Wolfgang-Amadeus/dp/B0000E69HF(But it seems only the Quintet was recorded at 96 kHz.) | |
| Looking for help on upgrading my entire vinyl rig. I think upgrading to a phono pre that doesn't limit your choice of carts is a good idea. For the TT, you'll probably want to look for a good TT/arm/cart bundle (or at least a TT/arm bundle), so I'd put off any decision about carts until after you ... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD I've been very impressed with what I've heard of the Vanska set. It's certainly the best sounding Beethoven I've heard. | |
| SB Touch...buh bye. Hello Android Media Box... Can the Android box do 24/96? Also, can you create your own menus like Custom Browse? | |
| Beethoven Violin Sonatas---favorites and recs How is Francescatti's playing "unmusical". In my experience "unmusical" just means "I don't like it", but maybe you have more specifics. | |
| I heard BAT was sold I noticed that the 3iX was not available at musicdirect.com. It's still listed as a current product at balanced.com. |
