| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? I had to chime in... I agree with others that it's a poor speaker / amp mismatch. I have been using a pair of 40 w mono tube amps for a few years. I pair them with a few lower sensitivity speakers and they were good, but when I connected a pai... | |
| Quicksilver Mid Mono Tube Rolling I have found that the driver tubes make little difference. Mike of QS said the input tube makes the bigger difference of the two. I have a pair of 6n23p Reflector in there and they seem to last forever in that position. I am going to sound li... | |
| Decent preamp Quicksilver or c-j..... can be found for around or slightly more, huge value used of you can buy them right. | |
| In Appreciation of Healthcare Workers Thanks for your thoughts... my daughter is working in the ICU in Rhode Island... she's been a nurse for 2 years and she's only 24. I've always been proud of her but I never imagined her in harm's way. I haven't seen her for six weeks, she's ... | |
| Revel Salon 1 mid range drivers Sorry to hear that... I had a pair or Revel and loved them but when I needed a grill it took them forever to get me one. It was only a year old and under warranty. I got every excuse why they didn’t have them and ultimately they admitted to having... | |
| Classe CA-2300 versus McCormack DNA 500 Can't compare the two but the McCormack 500 is one of the best sounding high power amps I have ever heard. I had a DNA 225 on loan and bought a DNA 125 . They were great amps but unfortunately conrad Johnson ceased production of McCormack gear. ... | |

| Teflon Cap upgrade or new set of NOS tubes for conrad johnson PV12A Preamp? I have a humble c-j Classic 2SE with the teflon caps.... it is such a great sounding pre. It was a $500 premium over the base Classic but well worth it. I auditioned it against a base ET3 in what had to be a $50k system and liked the Classic ... | |
| pv14l You may be able to connect the TV's stereo RCA to "Aux" but sometimes you can get a ground loop hum. Alternatively you can use an optical Toslink cable from the TV's Optical output if so equipped to an Optical /Coax to stereo analog converter. ... | |
| An unusual problem Buy an Auralex Sub Dude isolation platform. I've had one for years ...not only does it improve the sound but it eliminates many rattles associated with having a sub. My mom had been complaining that my dad's sub was boomy and keeping her up.... ... | |
| For efficient speakers, how much difference does an amp really make? I had a pair of outlaws on trial..... they were ok but their ATI built amps sound much better. Those speakers deserve better !! The ATI 2002 is a bargain on the used market. McCormack DNA 225 also great value used. I have had both in my syste... | |
