| El34 = KT88 = KT120 +1jasonbourne52 " Tube comparisons are only valid when the same amp is used with all the tubes in succession."My amps allow changing tube types. I prefer the bigger brighter sound of a KT88 compared to the laid back sound of a EL34. It also depen... | |
| Dedicated lines — how many? Other advice? Yes it is! As a matter of fact my system is on a 15 amp circuit with a few other things and the breaker has never tripped. 1 amp=120 watts. IMO, having more is pure overkill! Of coarse there will be many here that disagree with me! | |
| Dedicated lines — how many? Other advice? A 15 amp circuit= 1800 wattsA 20 amp circuit= 2400 watts Your gear would never use anything more than that. You can do the math! | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. I have owned the Harbeth M30.1,C7 and the newer P3ESR. In my 20x15 size listening room using tube amplification the original P3 just sounded better. I always prefer a sealed speaker better than any speaker with ports. BTW, I have tried many differ... | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. + jjss49Any Ls3/5A design would fit the bill. I’ve owned quite a few and the Harbeth P3 is still my favorite of the lot. I have also owned larger Harbeths and IMO the P3 is the pick of the litter. And I don’t use a subwoofer! | |
| Cartridge recommendations? You can calculate arm and cartridge compatibility putting in the information in this chart. Like I said , the Grado will work fine in a low mass arm!http://www.mh-audio.nl/Calculators/RF.html | |
| Mystere tube cage I’m sure Upscale will answer your question. Give them a call!https://upscaleaudio.com/ | |
| Cartridge recommendations? " You budget is a joke for a good cartridge, you need at least $350 for an OK moving magnet." That statement is BS! You won’t go wrong with a Grado Prestige!https://gradolabs.com/cartridges/prestige-series-2 | |

| Best Integrated Amp (for me) This REGA should fit the bill!https://www.musicdirect.com/integrated-amp/Rega-Brio-2017-Integrated-Amplifier?utm_source=bing&u... | |
| AR9LS Speakers - a good buy at $1k @ shi_fu_audio Both those speakers that I recommended are full range and I doubt that you will need a subwoofer. If you are looking for chest thumping bass you can always add a subwoofer later on! | |

| AR9LS Speakers - a good buy at $1k I doubt you will get that chest thumping bass that you seem to want. You might be better off looking for a subwoofer to give you that kind of bass. This Klipsh might fit your budget of 1K. Your 70 watt Yamaha would be fine with any of these speake... | |
| AR9LS Speakers - a good buy at $1k What kind of amp are you using? This new JBL Stage A-180 and A-170 is under a grand. I’ve never listened to a Bose speaker so I can’t give you an opinion on that brand!https://www.crutchfield.com/p_109SA180/JBL-Stage-A180.htmlA review on the A-170... |
