| My 50W, 8ohm amp can't drive my 86db, 4ohm speakers? WTF?? I'm offended that you used that amp with such a great speaker.....that's just wrong.I hope you get your amp back soon.... | |
| Best Of Breed or Matching Components? My last preamp and amp combo were a McCormack RLD 1 and DNA 125 amp. The preamp was nice, but changing it out for a conrad - johnson Classic 2 SE was a huge improvement. The DNA 125 has since been replaced by a pair of Quicksilver Mid Mono am... | |
| Preamp inverts signal. Phd, I invert it at the amp side, makes no difference though | |
| Preamp inverts signal. My pre inverts phase, I just invert the speaker polarity. Although my DAC can invert phase I want the phase correct with all sources. | |
| Isolation Transformers -- Equitech or Torus? I have an EquiTech Son of Q and it's been rock solid, my system is dead quiet with it providing power... | |
| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? I've had a pair of Revel M106 for a little over two years and they have great bass response for a small speaker....I use a sub but run them full range. At night I turn the sub off and the bass is still very satisfying. They sound like a much bi... | |

| Roy Allison Sad news.... one of my first real speakers were a pair of Allison 6 | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? Get a 105, I think you have 30 days to try it out. Had I not already had a great DAC I would have bought the 105, but with a kid in college the 103D was exactly what I was looking for... The 105 has a great DAC in it plus it has every input ... | |
| Your three favorite audio dealerships? I purchased my preamp (c-j Classic 2SE) and DAC ( NAD M51) from Jack, he and the guys at Spearit are great to deal with.... | |
| 6922 tube selection I tried purchasing some 6h23-eb type 3 tubes from Upscale, their site said to call for that tube because they would only sell them to those with preamps that are tough on tubes like Audible Illusions and my pre, a c-j Classic 2..... four phone ... | |
| PSB Platinum M2 buying advice Buy them, they are a great speaker......one of the few things I really regret selling. Excellent speaker | |
| When did good gear start getting your attention? I was 15, my father bought a Sansui CA 2000 preamp and a BA 2000 amp . Not too long after that I bought a Sansui AU9900 integrated amp and the rest was history. I ended up giving it to my brother and it still works....... | |
| CJ Classic 2 line stage pre-amp? I have had a Classic 2SE for a few years and I love it.....I'm using it with a Gold Lion 6922 and it sounds great. When I bought it couldn't decide whether to upgrade the preamp or my speakers. I was using a McCormack RLD 1 pre and thought it w... | |
| Importance of input tubes to sound quality? When I picked up a pair of mono amps used last year the owner had put in a pair of NOS RCA 12ax7 in the input stage, I tried several modern 12AX7 and nothing came close.... the 6922 driver isn't as critical and I'm hard pressed to notice any d... |
