Best integrated tube amp for 3A MM deCapo i?
Thanks for the responses. I'm currently using a 15 watt el84 amp (class A for the first 8 watts) and am very pleased with the results at low to medium volumes. Then I find the music gets a little sloppy at high levels. I'd love to try the 15 watt ... 
Power PC G3 as music source?
Yes, that is how I purchased my new 24" imac. A great deal. I really didn't want to spend $500 (plus 1 or 2 externals for loading and backing up) for serving my music. But, the more I think this through the more it appealing it sounds for the long... 
Power PC G3 as music source?
The more I read the more I believe it would be best to just get the cheapest used mac mini I can find and dedicate it to my music. I can't do all the upgrades on the G3 myself so I'm sure the cost won't be justified. The problem is that I have no ... 
What's that buzz, tell me what's a happening...
Well, did all that was recommended except one. Changed the L/R wires. Same speaker, same problem. Gave each screw a little tightening. Same problem. Decided to go in.Went in from the back. Could see both drivers through the post hole. You know wha... 
What's that buzz, tell me what's a happening...
The speakers are supposedly 3 years old. I've only had them for a month. There is no noticable flaw from the outside, and the buzzing seems to come from the inside. Very resounding in there I might add. So far it has only buzzed twice (both times ... 
Totem response re: recommended tube amp for Sttaf
Thanks for the reply Ghosthouse. I'm sifting through all the info and having a ball. I'm starting to relax about trying something different. Afterall, if I don't like the results, a different component is just a sell/buy deal away. I just wish I d... 
Moving away from tubes. Is this a good idea?
I bought the Sttafs because: a) recommendation from a friend, b) I listened to them at a store (NAD amp) and really liked the sound, c) they are narrow and will not overwhelm the room they are in and d) the price was right.I do find that they have... 
To tube, or not to tube, that is the question
You know what Pauly? That's probably the best thing for me to do. My heads swimming in all of this jargon. And it may be for naught. Now I will be VERY dissappointed if I'm advised not to use tubed amps. I so want to hear what the fuss is about. P... 
To tube, or not to tube, that is the question
Re the TAD-60. If you want to use a phono, cd player, and a tuner, how can you with one input? 
To tube, or not to tube, that is the question
Hey, thanks for the input. Obviously, I've got a lot to learn so I'll be reading these responses over and over. Spent the whole night listening to the Sttafs. Just a real treat, even with the old amp! I can only imagine what a modern amp and a goo...
