| PASS INT 3OA how loud does it play? Thank your for the comments guys. It works fine. I found the reason. I had a problem with the cables that I used to drive Int 30A. | |
| Are Dynaudio Contour 2 any good? Raquel, 802D is out of my price range and I when I listened to N802 I did not find that they were much better than M802, indeed I found them a bit bright. It looks like Contour 3.3 worth trying. Are they tube compatible (if they need a loot of fee... | |
| Are Dynaudio Contour 2 any good? Hi Kthomas,I really mean Contour II. | |
| Are Dynaudio Contour 2 any good? Hi Buff,I’m in Toronto and NC would be quite a drive for me.My listening room is not big (24'X8') but it's an open concept and so far from all speakers (Paradigm, Audio physic, Proak) that I tried only B&W M802 S2 did not sound thin. It means... | |
| What is the story with Rega Appolo? Lngbruno,I was considering cheap transport + decent DAC combo. The problem is that the quality of the clock in the transport is the limiting factor in the performance of the combo, unless you can set DAC clock to drive the transport. Alex | |
| What is the story with Rega Appolo? Toshiba SD 9200 was A rated by Stereophile in 2001. Its built quality is really impressive. I did a side by side comparison with Planet and Toshiba was a winner.I'm running tube pre into ss amp but I'm getting tube amp.Would Apollo be a better cho... | |
| What is the story with Rega Appolo? Rich:You mentioned in the review of your system that Apollo is easy on ears. More relaxed and softer top is what I’m looking for in my upgrade. How does Music Hal compare with Apollo?Thanks.Alex | |
| What is the story with Rega Appolo? Guys thank you for input! I used to buy stuff from Audiogone when I lived in US. If you get things at the right price the most what you can lose is shipping fees. Now I live in Canada and every item I buy on Audiagone costs me extra 20% thanks to ... | |
| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston Rodman9999- thanks for all of your advice and suggestions. Actually SCD 777 es was one of my options. From what I found out about VTL 100 they are not switchable. It means that I need to rewire them. It should not be a big deal I need to couple an... | |
| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston I just bought a pair of VTL 100 compact mono blocks (100 wpc in 5 Om I believe). It’s a little bit more than I need for the top and I’m not sure if I can run them in triode mode. After I try them with my speakers I will look for a new source. BAT ... | |
| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston I could unsolder resistors, but I’d rather upgrade speakers if be-amping does not work. I already looked at Proac D25 but did not like its bass.It was a bit slow and not very tight. I prefer overall tonality and speed of b&W802. I’m thinking a... | |
| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston I don't have analog source but I don't think it's Toshiba. Tweeters don’t sound too bad with well recorded music. Only bad recordings sound really harsh. Unfortunately a very significant part of my CD collection makes my eyes bleeding.I can’t list... | |
| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston Roadman99999, I've got Creek OBH-12 so the difference in amps gain is not a problem. I had in mind Bryston 4B pro or Adcom. I can’t decide on tube amp. I’m trying to minimize harshness of metal tweeters and I think I’d be better off either with pp... | |
| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston Hi Bill,After trying different apms with my 802 I concluded that your solution- biamping with tube and SS is optimal. I have very little experience with tube gear and I'm thinking about VTL ST 85 or 150. Can you tell me what tube amp are you using... | |
| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston Hi Bill,I think that the major problem is the amp. I have Cornwalls and Aleph 3 and SD9200 does not sound too bright with them.I agree with Electroid neither Bryston no Musical Fidelity are nice on the top, both sound metallic. I want to try CJ an... |
