| JM lab Electr 926 speakers good pre amp&lifier Hello,I am fairly familiar with the JM Labs speaker line. I listened to the Electra line 906, 926 and ended up with the mini utopia instead. I tested the 906 at home with my McIntosh solid state gear (older C28 pre and 2205 amp). I find the JM Lab... | |
| amps for a new Jmlabs Be altos Hello,A local dealer uses a Conrad Johnson tube pre amp with the 2500a solid state amp on the JM lab speakers or one of the tube amps. Currently I'm using a Herron tube pre amp and the Herron M150 mono solid state amps with my JM Lab Mini Utopia s... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Gogamecocks I have been down the jewelry path. However, I was able to tie that purchase with an anniversary event. Most guys really aren't into anniversary or birthday gifts for ourselves. If we want it we just buy it. I did build up some credit p... | |
| How to audition subwoofer? This is a tough question since the listening room plays such an important role. I have found that the better subs have the most controls i.e. an excellent array of crossover points to blend with the main speakers. I have also found that there is a... | |
| cleaning Mac amplifier? I have used simple rubbing alcohol and a cotton cloth with good results. Make sure the cloth is 100 cotton since polyester blends can cause scratches. | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase After 22 years of marriage you get to experiment with different techniques. I did go down the road of deceit. That path is a big mistake since she pays the bills. My new method is to put aside some funds that come into me directly (business expens... | |
| newbie seeking stereo system advice Sean,Welcome to the endless audio journey to find musical perfection. I have completly changed my system over the last two years via this site. One thing that I learned is that I will never buy a piece of new audio gear again. I have purchased dem... | |
| SUB - Confuse? I don't know too much about the other subs mentioned. I have a REL stadium III which I really like. I would agree with Ritteri on the point of flexibility relative to the settings. I changed main amps a few weeks ago and was glad the REL could cro... | |
| CD Players $1,000 - $1,500 US - any info on Talk? You might want to consider a used player such as the Cary. I compared the Cary 303-100 directly to the Rega models and it was clearly better in openess, soundstage, bass response and detail. I bought mine used here and will never buy a new piece o... | |
| Classic McIntosh sound? BudrewCompared to my Herron tube pre amp and solid state mono amps the McIntosh gear is not as good. I don't have that much experience with the new Mac gear and like I stated my Mac gear was old. The Herron equipment is more open, has better place... | |
| Classic McIntosh sound? Hello,I owned the same Mac gear since 1976. (C28 pre amp and 2205 amp) and have just upgraded to Herron equipment. The Mac is built like a tank (only one trip in 25 yrs. to service for current upgrades from service bulletins). The sound is warm, l... | |

| JM LAB A good question. I use a high quality auto polish such as Zaino Bros. The most important part is the cloth you use. Anything with ployester in it will put fine surface swirls/scratches in the finish. I use those small soft cloths that are used for... | |
