| Best Amplifier for LS3/5a Ran vintage LS 3/5A 15 ohm and currently run Weiss 501. I've run the Rogers LS 3/5A with Sugden A21SE to great affect. They require as you know lots of quality high current, not wattage. Class A is magical with these. Sugden is not balanced bu... | |
| What to do with a large collection Proximity to a university or high school music program? A donation could enrich the program and give a credible tax write off to you. Winner winner chicken dinner. My jazz program director was a former Vegas player and he used vinyl albums to p... | |
| System advice Great starting point. Table/cart could be upgraded and of course one could spend the balance on speaker stands and a Quadrasprire SVT which would really ramp this system up substantially. About $2100 for the Rega System One. https://www.rega.... | |
| *DAC Sure. Naim Core server, Weiss 501 DAC, Jorma digital cable, Luxman 900u preamp, ATC 50 active speakers, custom interconnects, Furutech 4.1 power cables, Townshend podiums, Puritan 156 power conditioner, Furutech outlet, Quadraspire Reference X eq... | |
| *DAC Yup, 10K is probably it. I run the Weiss 501 4 channel. Would agree that a very good digital cable is essential. I run the 75 ohm Jorma after using the Nordost 1. It really is that good. Understand the Weiss 204 to be a stripped down version... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? So much bickering. Is it possible that some of you are somehow married to each other and just using pseudonyms? It only carries a certain level of entertainment and as predictable as a Hallmark movie ending. Enjoy your toxicity cocktail while I... | |
| What say you? Fringe baby! If you're not living on the edge, why you're taking up too much space. Every avocation has fringe, breeding obsession topped off with a healthy dose of OCD. Medical contracting took me oft to the Northeast where maple syrup conno... | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? Have experienced phenomenal jazz recordings for decades, but, "The Unforgettable NHOP Trio Live" is off the chain. Niels does not play bass, he attacks it! Thank you for the heads up. He is on another level, along with his mates. This is a s... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? My premise; I'm surrounded by sociopaths operating at various levels of practice. That may seem extreme, but the amount of dysphoria these days is proof enough. Rather simple; it's positive and constructive, or it's negative and destructive. ... | |
| Because the word TECH is there. My layman's understanding is that the software development triangle states: You can have it fast, cheap, right. Pick any two, the third an outlier. As a former contract traveler in radiology for a decade, I had the pleasure of experiencing tech... | |
| SS Integrated Amp for Tannoy Turnberry GR Speakers @oldschool1948 Sorry if I mislead. I'm using ATC 20 passives which are non-ported so difficult to drive. | |
| SS Integrated Amp for Tannoy Turnberry GR Speakers I run the Luxman 509X which is superb and an older Sugden A21SE at 33 wpc Class A of course and it is also superb. You cannot go wrong here. Accuphase is most likely also wonderful. They will all work. | |
| Troubleshooting Rega Brio-R Amp Issue @imhififan 1+ Most likely the simplest thing will be the thing that's wrong. Or, that input selected is bad in one channel. You only list one source, the RP1. | |
