| Best Tubes for Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Magnum So far I have had good luck with the Bugle Boys and (vintage) Telefunkens. | |
| Speaker suggestions for Marantz 4300 I'd look around for something from Bozak, JBL or maybe a older Klipsch Heresy. | |
| Speaker suggestions for Marantz 4300 Would you want a retro (real vintage) speaker or a new retro-styled speaker to compliment the look of the Marantz? That's a large, open space so just about any large tower would be nice. What's your budget? | |
| Sonus Faber Concertino? If they're in good physical condition and all the drivers work, go grab them. That's a steal. Yes, they are their smallest speakers from that time, but they can be quite nice especially if you're putting together a small office/ bedroom-type sys... | |
| Long Run of Speaker Cabling Are you looking for what wire gauge to use or specific models? Do you have a budget? | |
| Is More Better? In my last house, I had 2 subs integrated very well after many, many REW sweeps and sub placement, settings, etc. Flat down to 20Hz before any sort of roll-off. Then I got a god deal on another sub and I thought adding it would/ could(?) make th... | |

| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? I've never heard of a good universal remote (basic good, as in something from URC or ProControl) not being able to learn IR codes from another remote. More than likely, an existing IR codes set was used for those remotes, especially if it is a sm... | |
| McIntosh amp Power tube replacements needed You could get your existing tubes tested relatively cheaply, first. Even a place that services electric guitar amps in your area should be able to test them. That should confirm if you need to change them out. | |
| Low powered integrated recommendation Do you need a remote? | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? For anything less-expensive, like cheaper receivers, CD players, TVs, etc. I just have the unit set up in my garage and playing when they arrive so they can see it works. People buying that level of gear aren't super picky audiophiles like many o... |
