| Any experiences with FM Acoustics Preamps able to drive proprly a pair of kharma mini exq.diamond 87,5 db/8ohmThe small monos (Resolution 111) should be more than enough for these speakers. Maybe even the Classic series 70W stereo could do the trick (I think it's cheaper than the mono's).... | |
| Electronics 101: Use of Negative Feedback; a Q I believe that Ayre SS amps do not use NF in the circuit design, (...)I find that hard to believe, Ayre is a very serious constructor... Maybe what they are saying is there is no global FB, only local? Is that all that is needed, low output impeda... | |
| What should I upgrade? IMO you should upgrade the Yamaha. Keep the item as a tuner, of course, and purchase a better amp. Investing in the system upstream will not yield the right results IMO, as the Yamaha will probably mask much of any improvement... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Any Final thought? will be purchasing this week.The very short answer is, Tannoy. From a sound quality, (resales) value, design, point of view Tannoy is the no brainer choice.With all due respect to the Magico. Regards, G | |
| How to ship CD's I have sent a few & received many as per E's description. And yes, some have arrived with cracked cases. I ALWAYS cover mine in bubble-wrap & add a cardboard outer & put them in a padded envelope -- to no avail. Some arrive cracked any... | |
| Small difference equating to a big difference? I wonder what differences you'd hear if these cables were hard wired into the component.In some cases a more "robust" sound with slightly better extension particularly at the top end.(Yup, i tried it in my youth...) | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Aprica - you answered your own question -no?The sound from S5 is a bit "Brittle". Detail and refine. And 1 word that that I think best describe the S5. It is Coherent.Purchase the coherent speaker. Music is about coherence. | |
| Volume affected by uneven lengths of spker cable?? the left side is 12ft and the right is 7 ft. I am trying to save a few bucks when I upgrade to the next level of speaker cable from the same manufacturer.You'd be loading the amp differently on each channel, as mentioned, albeit slightly in real t... | |
| Interconnects that offer a mid-bass lift Difficult to advise, since no-one has your system, and cables are design & system dependent. What you are looking for, as I understand it, i a cable that slightly attenuates frequencies above mid-bass (as you know cables don't amplify...).Have... | |
| Capturing the MUSIC; a furtive cause? What R We... Hallo Detlof, I was happy to see you return to these cyber-shores.I'll try a PM and hope it reaches you.In my ever ripening age, I am more and more convinced that complacency is a waste of life...:) | |
| tonearm + cartridge for custom lenco 75 Try a unipivot Clearaudio arm, if you can. I think the price is within your range (or starts within the range). They are simple, well made and sound OK on the Lenco.Otherwise try a used SME 3012 (or 3009).Finally, I think Pro-ject sells arms separ... | |
| Which is better: Transport+DAC or PC system+DAC My experience was with red-book, not sacd.Since other formats came up, blu-ray is significantly better than the other digital formats I know assuming an originally hi def recording.Unfortunately not much choice... | |
| Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic. Hi Mezmo - yr point is well putwhat exactly is some other wire plugged into the playback chain changing, or adding, or whatever?Presumably, the idea is to lose as little as possible of whatever sonic info still remains on the medium (i.e. whatever... | |
| Which is better: Transport+DAC or PC system+DAC My subjective answer to yr question is, forget it. Keep what you have & listen to music.For the record, I tackled the dilemma as well and yes, I was inspired by the post Mgattmch mentions. The quick answer to my experiment is, the PC (RAM to s... | |
| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade W-wonka Greg - the final upgrade was to replace all internal wiringI notice you use Kimber, a tried & trusted choice if there ever was one!BTW, why not hard-wire the power supply cable at the PS end? |
