| How hot is hot when moving from class a/b to to a or tubes? There are very few true Class A transistor amps. Most so-called Class A amps switch over to Class B after a few watts. A true Class A amp of considerable power will always run extremely hot under zero load and then progressively cooler as output l... | |
| How hot is hot when moving from class a/b to to a or tubes? A true Class A amp will always run hottest with no signal. When playing music the current/voltage goes to the speaker and is dissipated there. The true Class A amp then runs increasingly cooler! A little-known fact that most audiophiles are unawar... | |
| Shunyata Alpha HC Ztron power cord (discontinued) vs Shunyata Venom V10 NR cord (current) A good example of a user addicted to power cords! LOL! | |
| Victory V4 alternatives Audiogon is a site for HiFi enthusiasts. I suggest you go to a guitar- oriented site! | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? I confess to buying a boutique power cord to use with my Quad 303 and 405 amps - a $90 Pangea from Audio Advisor. Perfect Surface Copper! The rest of my gear has captive cords. | |
| Which amp for my new Volti Razz I like the MC240! A simpler circuit than the other two yet enough power for the Volti's. | |
| Bi-Wiring No sonic benefit to running an extra set of wires to your speakers. True bi-amping requires an active crossover and another strereo amp. | |
| Feets Don’t Fail Me Now Why not use a square ceramic floor tile from Home Depot under each speaker/stand for isolation from the carpet? I bought some for future use. | |
| I just discovered Van Der Graff Generator... A similar band you might like from the same era: Pavlov's Dog! | |

| ARC LS25 MkII preamp - Phono amp? The Schiit Mani II is an excellent phono stage ($149). Check out Fremer's review on Analog Planet. | |
| The LRS+ Speakers The LRS is a poorly measuring and sounding speaker with readily apparent sonic colorations. Stick to the larger Magneplanars. | |
| Replacement RCA cable for Systemdek Turntable. You would be better off with a cartridge upgrade than wasting money on a cable. Unlike with a cable you can actually hear an improvement! | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? @wolfie62 +1! | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? I had a Marantz 2270 back in ’76-’77. Sounded fine! Soon I bought separates (AGI 511, GAS Son of Ampzilla, Mitsubishi DA-F10). I should have kept the 2270 for use as an FM tuner. Now I think the vintage receivers/integrated amps are fine sonically... |
