| Macintosh MA352 vs PrimaLuna 300 EVO Hybrid OP, your listening chair can be your balance control. Been there done that. I also have had McIntosh and PrimaLuna amps, I still have the PrimaLuna. | |
| Help me find my ideal Stereo Integrated Amp I would not buy and integrated with a DAC or a Streamer, that $hit is going to change, so are connector types. I just had to say it. | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? Two possibilities: His system sounds better than yours, so it's going to cost you some money to upgrade. Second possibility is yours is better than his, so say something nice like, "Well it has plenty of bass" or "Those trumpets really stand out",... | |
| Reliability - what’s your experience been? Three power switch failures. A very limited production pre-amp (no switch available), a Philips turntable ( I repaired the switch), and a Jolida amp (I replaced the switch). | |
| Who puts their speakers right up against the back wall and why? It wasn't so ago that the rectangular box loudspeakers were demonstrated on a wall full of loudspeakers. There was not a speaker stand to be found. Times change and so did the loudspeakers. | |
| Cary SLP98L upgrades--yea or nay? I had a Cary SLP98 with the F1 upgrade. Without a doubt it was my best preamp. | |
| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? Chumbawamba Tubthumper UB40 Red Red Wine | |
| KLH Model 3 owners - something different Yes, you can do better than a Yamaha 801. A Musical Fidelity M5si or M6si would be big step for power and control. | |
| Calling All Tube Gurus Ideally you want the same brand tube. I wouldn’t take a chance with different branding. But, the most import would be the matching. Are rejected tubes resold? Yes. | |
| Does the Cambridge CXN100 sound the same as the MXN10 @peter_s I have always experienced muffled sound quality from the WIM system. I’ve used a couple different models. I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong! I have heard that when using the room correction and perhaps Bluetooth. | |
| Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable. I would think about upgrading your loudspeakers. Perhaps 3.7s so you can get the good tweeter. | |
| Does the Cambridge CXN100 sound the same as the MXN10 @lanx0003 , Thanx, I think a Fosi V3 would work well with the LS-50s I have in the garage. Or maybe a pair of V3 monos. But alas, I run an older Jolida tube integrated and I just upgraded the tubes. I also run a tuner and a CD player and would n... | |
| Upgrading my integrated amplifier for my Magnepan 1.7’s Musical Fidelity M5si or M6si pairs well with the 1.7s. | |
| Does the Cambridge CXN100 sound the same as the MXN10 I have the CXN100 but, thinking about another streamer for the garage system. I put a Cardas Iridium cable on the CXN100 and I think that took it where I wanted it. Very happy with it overall. | |
| Qobuz and Tidal comparison I'm a new and happy Qobuz user. It took a couple of weeks to get the cabling right on my streamer but it's a very good source. I'm listening to Hans Zimmer-Blade Runner right now and it's blowing me out of the room with the volume just at a very l... |
