| Soundproof material for a dedicated room I 2nd the green glue recommendation. I used to manage real estate and had a few tenants that used it with great success. It was a very cost effective solution. They suggest using 3 tubes per 4x8 sheet of 1/2 or preferably 5/8" thick drywall with l... | |
| Amps for Klipschorn speakers If you want to hear what your Klipschorn's are really capable of then put a low powered SET amp on them like a 2A3 or 45 amp and you will be amazed. There's nothing like it. You don't need to spend $3-5K on each piece, you can spend quite a lot le... | |
| Tuners that do it? I've had some pretty nice tuners over the years that were highly recommended and now have a Creek CAS-3140 with a din-rca cord that I enjoy very much as well - but one of the finest sounding tuners I've ever heard was a modified Dyna FM3. I've nev... | |
| Decent preamp to match my modest system? Throw a low powered SE amp on those puppies and you'll really hear what those Cornwalls are capable of. I heard great things of the low powered 1626 Darling amps and there are other custom SE amps are always available from time to time as well. | |
| B&K EX-442 Score Congrats! That is one heck of a score. The later version was the EX442 Sonata which looked much different then the orig EX442. The Sonata went 200 into 8 & 360 into 4 with 75 amps peak to peak I believe. The original Sonata I don't believe was... | |

| Configuration Questions Please check you MF piece again, sounds like you have a MF power amp and not an integrated amp, unless your B1 is missing the volume control...I had a MF B1 for a very short time | |
| Tube Preamp/solid pwr amp or solid pre/ tube pwr Another vote for tube pre/SS amp combo unless you go all tubes with a tube amp and tube preamp...I happily lived with a B&K ST140 amp and Music Reference RM5 mkII preamp with ProAc Studio 1's for many years. I then got a McIntosh MC225 tube am... | |
| Have you ever heard about Wingate? Many years ago in So. Jersey, I went to an audio show and in one of the room there was a Wingate amp. Having only seen the nice magazines ads, I really wanted to hear this amp. All I remember was how obnoxious the Wingate rep was. A young kid who ... | |

| 1970's receivers and integrated amps... I hope to soon be making a trade for a Yamaha A-1 integrated and will be mating it up with 84 db Celestion 100's. I think the A-1 is a dual mono unit and think that this could be a pretty nice sounding budget-vintage set up. I also used to sell au... |
