| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... So if I only need 0.25A in the first place, and go up to 0.5A, that's still doubling the value. Hmmm. | |
| Budget Audience Clone? Cableco. often runs specials on Audience. Right now Ohno's--pretty good I hear--are in your budget.https://www.thecableco.com/audience_specials.html?mode=list | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados A couple more. R. Strauss's Alpine Symphony is remarkably neglected for a composer boasting a number of warhorses.And talking of warhorses, an excellent "demonstration disk" is Patrick Doyle's theme music for the movie Henry V; Simon Rattle + CBS... | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints.. Remember, too, that you'll want to adjust bias from time to time. Being able to look down into the well revealed when you remove the plate is helpful when trying to seat the bias-adjust tool on the individual pots. With 4" you might be able to u... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados No, no, even better (if that's possible) than the other RV-W suggestions, all of which are great, are his Five Variants on Dives and Lazarus. I have the Chandos recording. Bliss. | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints.. How much headroom (inches) will you have above the unit? The CMII runs pretty warm. As well as through-ventilation give the KT120s a little space above. Otherwise, can’t go wrong with CMII. | |
| Opinions on the right Aerial Acoustic and amp for a room? Aerials come up with some frequency.Right now: https://www.audiogon.com/listings?utf8=%E2%9C%93&global_search_text=aerial6T at $4950 obo. | |
| high-efficiency loudspeakers @bbarlow The Spatial Audio X2's look very promising indeed, and they could turn out to be real contenders. I'll be watching the thread on A. Circle carefully. | |
| Which speakers do I pick and are they close in quality You don't elaborate on how you came to narrow the choice down to these two. Are you buying new or second-hand? Are these two models that are available to you? They seem so far away from each other in the spectrum of speakers that the pairing se... | |
| Which speakers do I pick and are they close in quality You're hardly comparing apples with apples, save that they're both 2-way designs. Totem is floor-standing; you'll need stands with the Harbeths.Harbeths are in a high quality bracket, but may not be to every taste. You should try and read a few ... | |
| Low AC Line Voltage One of thesehttp://www.furmanpower.com/products/all/component-power/reference-series | |
| PMC 24 and Canalis Cambria two way floorstanders; What is the advantage to this design?: @ Value is a tricky issue. On many items, there's close to a 50% spread on wholesale vs. retail. Factor in actual manufacturing costs, packaging, shipping, etc. etc. and then what's left? Whatever that is, the manufacturer has to make a profit ... | |
| Tubes Very happy with GGL AU's and AT's. Tried a NOS Amperex in the pre-amp socket, and very little difference between it and the GGL. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Now you've mentioned Lupu, one of my all-time-favorite piano recordings is Lupu with Brahms Op. 117, 118, 119. Sublime music played sublimely. | |
| Low AC Line Voltage Besides simple voltage fluctuation, there's different amounts of crap on the line at different times of day, different days of the week, and when the weather is different (HVAC in use or not). The width of the variation will depend on the neighbo... |
