| Streamer/dac direct into Music Reference RM-200? Thanks @tomic601 for the input. Do you still have RM9? I'm anxious to get another MR amp back in my system. Had a RM-10MkII years ago and stupidly sold it. Roger was a treasure - spoke with him on the phone a couple times, RIP. | |
| What do you like about your integrated amp? Both my tube amps needed repair recently and I picked up a used Pass INT-25 last week and it's going to stay. Fantastic sounding, dead silent at idle and I know it's going to work. Plenty of power for my Tannoy Stirling GR's. Around 50 pounds w... | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? Yeah, miss Roger Modjeski - what a treasure he was. He was the master of tube conservation. Gave me a good tongue lashing for biasing my RM10 wrong and set me straight for an hour on the phone. Never wore out or shorted a tube in over 10 yrs on... | |
| Becoming Led Zeppelin @larsman I'm envious of that era show (I'm only 64) sounds like a great one what a great memory. There was an older lady in the crowd for the movie (of only six - matinee) who said after the show she'd seen them in '69 too. She said she enjoyed ... | |
| Becoming Led Zeppelin Saw the non-IMAX version this week and IMO it was fantastic. Really was blown away by the How Many More Times performance towards the beginning. My only complaint was it wasn't LOUD enough. I was lucky to have seen them live once in the late 7... | |
| Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker? @immatthewj I've had Stirling GR's since 2019 and have no plans to change. In regard to positioning I haven't found them to be finicky at all. They are perfect for my room and I've used everything from Music Reference RM10 Mk2, Atma-Sphere Class... | |
| cornfedboy, signing off RIP....his response to a thread I posted way back in 2000: cornfedboy 1,645 posts 12-11-2000 at 08:48pm kinda late to be asking, isn't it? stupid post. if you need someone to validate your expenditures, go ask your mommy. she may give you an ... | |
| Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range? Tannoy Gold Reference series, the best you can buy for 10k and Accuphase is a renoun classic pairing. | |
| Best music in 2024 @slaw X 2 on the new Bonnie Light Horseman cheers | |
| Final Decision On An Integrated Amp I recommend the Cary SLI-80HS as @pdreher mentioned. I've owned the SLI-80 F-1 and after years away just bought another - it's that good. I've owned the Audio Research vsi55 and the original Cronus Magnum and they're not even close. It's better... | |
| Cary SLI-80 tweaks and improvements? A couple things here as I’ve owned the SLI-80 a couple times both upgraded F-1 varieties. It’s a great amp and IMO will never be confused sound wise with SS and has definitely has that tube magic with the right speakers. Duane, the upgraded volume... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? Years ago I bought a nice pair of speaker cables that arrived reeking of tobacco smoke. Being a former smoker years ago who can't stand the smell now it was quite foul. Tried rubbing alcohol wipe down to no avail. Eventually the smell dissipate... | |
| Old Victrola I've owned a Victrola and still have a 1905 Edison w/morning glory horn shown in my virtual system. Here's a great source for parts repairs and units for sale I used to buy needles from. Steel needles need to be replaced after each play or your ... | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Dynaco ST70 @rankaudio nicely done. I enjoy your youtubes and have a Will Vincent ST-70 myself. Kenny's builds look great and keep up the good work. | |
| Speaker Cables : Moderate priced +1 @kennymacc been using mine for well over a decade occasionally comparing to others w/no plans to change. |
