| Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp +2 @larryi Amp and speaker matching is paramount. From personal experience, I have tried a McIntosh 240, Marantz 8b, and a McIntosh 462 with Cornwalls. While the tubes amps sounded nice, the 462 was on another level which your 352 should be as w... | |
| surprising comparison of tube preamps @arhgef Having the same MC462 as you do, I will share some experiences. At first I was using a Fisher 400 CX-2 that I rebuilt. A wonderful sounding unit and possibly the best vintage preamplifier of all time. This combo created a nice vintage / tu... | |

| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? Yes, MM. Too much Sauvignon Blanc tonight. | |

| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? I would like to thank everyone for their input. @iopscrl you are so right. There is no black magic here. I jumped in and was able to adjust the suspension and in turn level the arm board much better. Bounce is in agreement with what I’ve read and ... | |
| Idalia and Power Issues Being in North Central Florida I alway leave my rig unplugged until listening time. Currently feeling the effects as Idalia passes through. Fingers crossed the electricity stays on. I hear transformers popping in the distance. | |

| Upgrade my older Linn Sondek or move on? @noromance If I sell the Linn the budget will be $3.5k. @ghdprentice No local Linn dealer. I would have to do the upgrades myself. Not completely opposed to doing it, however I would like as close to as little set up as possible. @pindac thank y... | |
| Best Receiver? Properly restored Fisher 500c. Match 7591a’s in unit and either Mullard or Telefunken ECC83’s in the phase inverter and preamp sockets. Bliss. | |
| Speaker recommendations wanted for Quicksilver M135 amplifiers @decooney Unfortunatly I haven’t had much more than an hour of listening time with the Quicksilver and LRS+ pairing. It may be some time before break in is complete. Remodeling the kitchen and my listening area is currently full of new appliances ... | |
| Speaker recommendations wanted for Quicksilver M135 amplifiers @decooney I am running NOS RFT EL34’s biased at 40ma. 12AU7’s are RCA clear tops and 12FQ7’s are RCA as well. | |
| Speaker recommendations wanted for Quicksilver M135 amplifiers Thanks to everyone for your responses. I have been enjoying the Quicksilvers with the Triangles. The Quicksilvers lit the Triangles up like the Mc240 never quite could. I just picked up a pair of Magnepan LRS+’s for kicks. I will report back on... | |
| Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps +6 Quicksilver. I have the M135’s. They have driven everything I’ve thrown at them with authority. | |
| Advice on a tube tester Hi, All good testers you mentioned. I have had a TV-7b and it was a fine well built unit. Currently using a BK 707 and love it. Design is especially great when testing multiple 9 pin miniatures such as ECC83, ECC82, and ECC81 etc. Have used a BK7... |
