| impedance question and tubes Thanks Atmasphere, this is very interesting. I will listen again with some of this in mind. Very helpful! | |
| impedance question and tubes Thanks Roscoe. This amp has a lot of power (Copeland 506). 90 watts per channel. Speakers are not the easiest load at 87db. But it is plenty loud with out any apparent lack of reserves. | |
| strange microphonic sound after amp is turned off This is very helpful. It didn't seem like it was a big deal but it is good to get confirmation. I will monitor it and see whether it changes. Thanks all | |
| strange microphonic sound after amp is turned off Oh, and I forgot to mention that I have a dedicated line feeding the system and it is very well implemented so this is not an issue with an improperly grounded mains line. Thanks. | |
| whole house surge protector? Maxsound2000, I bought this unit:Leviton 51120-1 | |
| whole house surge protector? Frank -- it turns out it is really hard to get an EP 2050. I tried contacting the company directly and the distributor. Long story but, after talking to a dealer who used to sell them (and stopped because he didn't see the reason to do it anymore)... | |
| Class D amps No one has mentioned the Kharma MP150s which (admittedly awhile ago) won Absolute Sounds shoot out of class D amps. I have a tubed Cd player with volume control (EAR Acute) driving the Kharmas directly. It is absolutely wonderful sound -- the best... | |
| What cheap dacs are there with volume controls? Hi Rich (and Sfar).Everyone's experience is different I guess. The Bereford is good and versatile, but the Benchmark, in my system offered greater detail and resolution, improved dynamics, and better soundstaging. It also sounds fuller. The Beresf... | |
| What cheap dacs are there with volume controls? If you can spend $625-650 the Benchmark DAC1 will beat out the others mentioned here. I had the Beresford before I moved up to the Benchmark and I've also heard the Cambridge. | |
| Help understanding the new Stillpoints products Glad to know it's not just me, thanks for your responses Mezmo and FrankC.A dealer has e-mailed me and offered to help straighten it out. Please e-mail me if you want me to follow-up with details. | |
| Help understanding the new Stillpoints products Ebm -- the Symposium stuff is not what I'm looking for, thanks though.Ramy, this is consistent with the review, thanksCalloway, I read the article in stereotimes (I mis-cited it above as Positive Feedback). That article is tantalizing, but I don't... | |
| modest towers with high WAF for living room? Oh, and Totem Hawks are very nice (and small), but the Forests are definitely better IMHO. | |
| modest towers with high WAF for living room? Forests do well close to the wall, and 125w/ch at modest levels is probably okay. | |
| Kharma MP 150 any user? I use Kaplan HE2's. Tried a lot of others. Realy like the price/performance of these. What are you using? | |
| modest towers with high WAF for living room? Used Totem Forests will be well within your budget. Check the reviews. Super high WAF. Great for your kind of listening. Bewarned -- they require powerful amps. |
