| Anyone heard the Alsyvox Botticelli planar speakers? If anyone wants to hear the Bonticellis with excellent electronics (CAT Black Path preamp/Concert Fidelity monoblock amplifiers) you are welcome to audition in eastern Nebraska. They are very special speakers without box colorations or driver defi... | |
| Cat SL1 Preamp Check out Mouser or Digikey. I just ordered a CM73 replacement of the power supply light. I ordered several at a cost of .60 each......issue is shipping at 7.99. Bulbs came to about 1.40 each after shipping through Mouser.....service is great. Thi... | |
| Anyone heard the Alsyvox Botticelli planar speakers? I along with Dracule now own these wonderful speakers. Some of your fears diminish once you own them and you begin to rediscover your music enjoyment and collection you having been missing out on. You heard them as I did @ RMAF and I take it they ... | |
| Preamp gain ??? I find this topic very confusing and sometimes wonder if manufacturers specify gain very differently. For example, I once owned a GJ GAT preamp. rated at 25 DB of gain with a Border Patrol 300B amplifier around 27 DB of gain on 107 DB horns and li... | |
| Which Budget Speakers, Tekton or Omega? Thanks Charles,I wanted to clear the air by reiterating you CAN drive these speakers with 8 WPC 300B SET but these are voiced so nicely that 20 WPC + goes way further in enhancing the speakers capabilities especially in the bass. I did not play th... | |
| Which Budget Speakers, Tekton or Omega? Hello Glenn,I owned the OBX-RW (mkll) and drove it with a 8 WPC Border Patrol amplifier. It was very nice but Kevin Scott the inventor of the 25 year old plus design recommends 20 WPC at a minimum. Gary Dews of BP, the US Distributor, drives them ... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Wig:I agree with the heart. I also think sometimes there is just too much gear too choose from especially in digital. Many choices that would all fit one's needs and price ranges.Gwalt | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Hi Wig,Congratulations on your purchase!I have owned Gary Dews (Border Patrol) amps. and I know he has some great inventions out there. He puts a lot of merit in his power supplies and of course likes tubes both of which makes his modest price DA... | |
| GAMUT audio speakers owners. I think you need 100 "good watts" with current. I learned about this speaker's needs the hard way by owning to little power at first.I get along great with the RS7i using the CAT JL5 120W/CAT SL1 Black Path preamp. combo along with a set of YBA 60... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Davey:What I have noticed as of now with only 20 hours is its drive performance and refinement. Moving the soundstage back about 3 rows the whole room is now just full with massive 3D weight. The CAT Black Path has a lot of caps so many hours to g... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Davey:I have 6 hours on it and following break in protocol. Run awhile and then let sit awhile turned off to allow caps to fully charge/discharge etc.I can take the hint from listening so far that this is a very special piece of gear. To say it is... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Daveyf:So happy for you! Isn't music great when it moves to treat your inner spirits.Music will do more for you than that new California Canabus (marijuana) law that just passed ha. Just remember now if you are happy to not change anything. Life w... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I don't post often since these forums tend to be way to opinionated. Listening to music is as individual as choosing your spouse, pet, car, etc. and I wished everyone would simply understand that.Anyway, I owned an Edgarhorn Titan system for 13 ha... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Davey:Good for you. Cables are a weird experience and all about system synergy as Charles notes. Power delivery in all parts of the country differs. I assume you have some interference living in CA. ha.I used JPS Labs Aluminata on them and I still... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Charles,I think so but allowing it to fully break in. I am also going to try some JJ driver tubes in place of the Electro Harmonix. I am not real fond of bright tubes as the EH tend to be. Nothing exotic about the tubes in the amp..... just tracto... |
