| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? The secret is to biamp your system. Use tubes for the upper drivers and solid state mega power for bass drivers. This is a true reference system if done properly. What the hell is a reference system anyway. Does it mean it's better or just somet... | |
| Is my amp good enough? Room size is very important. Bigger rooms offer more challenges, ceiling height is also really really important. And the color of paint on the walls also impacts your ability to perceive sound. Also found the more money you spend the happier you... | |
| How long does it take your tube amp to warm up? Is the benefit from an extended warm-up more so due to tubes warming up or the transformers? Seems the tubes would be getting warm pretty quickly. Since the transformers are larger maybe they take longer. My amplifier which has around 14 tubes i... | |
| How long does it take your tube amp to warm up? Please let's not keep the equipment on all the time. There is a need to be somewhat concerned about environmental issues. | |
| New pre-amplifier? I guess it’s one of those things where a manufacturer sends out a product new initially. And then something doesn’t work right and it has to be returned and in the meantime a new replacement product is shipped back to the original customer. And th... | |
| 10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp? The amplifier is a Mc2301 from McIntosh that's giving blinking red lights after warm-up frequently. Power tubes have been replaced with new ones, maybe it's a signal tube. Sometimes it works fine, as long as amp stays on for at least a minute afte... | |
| 10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp? Are power tubes or signal tubes more sensitive to incoming voltage issues, or amplifier power protection issues, which can lead to an amplifier shutting down? | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? My girlfriend says she really likes my big speakers. Completely satisfied. She has amazing big speakers too. | |
| Can you touch the tubes? For some amps it's difficult to use the base of a tube to push and pull into socket. I found if I just grip it comfortably around the upper portion of the tube and rock it back-and-forth while applying pressure as it slides in. Of course there's ... | |
| Can you touch the tubes? Maybe power tubes no big deal. Maybe it's the signal radar tubes that pick up modem a radio wave interference that shouldn't be touched. I had a tube on a preamp that was very sensitive to network equipment. | |
| Is Aurender N10 still a good option I use a lumin x1 streamer/dac using roon. Got a separate power supply which is ideal. I find this outstanding. The dac inclusion is done extremely well don't have to worry about all the external BS wiring interconnects. And the temptation to swit... | |
| Bowers & Wilkins 801D4 Signature Can you recommend a home in Switzerland for my summer holidays? Would love to see a picture of your System and your place in Brazil? What amplifiers do you use for your speakers. I have the MC 901 monos here I like the B&w 802 d3 which I bia... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... Holy crap those are big subwoofers you have and you have two of them. How did you make a decision to buy such huge monsters for this room? I have a subwoofer that's 12 inches in a comparable sized room and it is set at 20% volume and still very v... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... Why not go for biamping using the mac mc901 monos. They have the MC 611 monos and the mc 2301 monos combined. That’s the ideal world in my view. | |
| Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room When you see magico offering a rack for $40,000 you really have to wonder what the hell is going on. All the isolation specs that you see, does anybody really really really notice a sonic difference. Yeah if you don't isolate the turntable its go... |
