| Upgrade from Rogue Audio Sphinx v2 The Sphinx has a Class D 100 wpc output stage. Tube front end. You might want to buy a Rogue Magnum II power amp (all tube) and drive it direct from your digital sources. There is one on eBay now for $1795 + $100 shipping. | |
| I have a serious phobia problem with cleaning records Pay someone to clean your LPs! Preferably nearby! I"d do it for you if you were in the neighborhood. I have cleaned over 1000 LPs! I also clean second-hand CDs! Over 1000 of them! | |
| Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment. I agree! All of my systems have been setup in cluttered rooms! Yet the sense of stereo space, depth and impact was undiminished! | |
| Which turntable +1 cmdc! Buying a new arm is a sound choice! | |
| Which turntable @chakster : the OP has limited funds and a serious illness! That is why I suggested the cheap alternative! | |
| Is This even possible That one Knight speaker can be connected like the post above. It will function as a mono speaker. | |
| Esoteric Audio Research V20 tube layout Tell me the number of 12AX7's and the number of 12AU7's in the front end. So I can have a clearer picture of the overall tube layout. | |
| Esoteric Audio Research V20 tube layout I was amazed that using ten 12AX7's in parallel per channel can yield 20 watts! Not a tube one thinks of as an output tube because of its small size and limited plate dissipation! | |
| Esoteric Audio Research V20 tube layout If you remove the bottom cover you can trace the signal path from the left and right input jacks to the two sockets for the 12AX7's. Then further tracing from those two sockets will lead to the 12AU7 sockets. How many sockets total in the front end? | |
| Esoteric Audio Research V20 tube layout That is an interesting tube amp! I saw pictures and read about it in HiFi News years ago. I assume the front end 12AX7's are the input tubes (one per channel) and the 12AU7's are the phase-splitters/drivers for each output stage. | |
| 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? A Crown XLS1502 (525wpc@4ohms) will sound far better than any tube amp driving those current-hungry KEF's! And at $449 it is the cost of a pair of 211/845's! | |
| Theoretically better to connect my subwoofer from preamp out, or from outputs on my amps? +1 georgehifi! | |
| JBL 4430 placement - please help if you know this speaker It doesn't matter whether the ports are facing outside or inside! | |
| Master Clock questions - cable length etc Expectation bias when a new toy is added to the system almost always accounts for so-called improvements in perceived SQ! | |
| Master Clock questions - cable length etc Don't waste your money like antigrunge2 did with expensive cables and a power cord, plus a costly reclocker! These have zero effect upon SQ! |
