| Connectting Alesis 9600 to BAT VK32-SE I too have an Alesis and plan to use it for recording vinyl. Can you connect the phonostage outputs directly to the inputs of the Alesis or is the only/better way to run the preamp tape out into the Alesis inputs? | |
| good amp for Maggies? I have had great luck with three amplifiers - an Audio Van Alstine 250 wpc FETvalve hybrid ampflifier (heavily modded, including bybees), Canary CA-160 tube monoblock amplifiers, and Tube Audio Design Hibachi monoblock amplifiers.I was persuaded t... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA 1's Amps and Magnepan 1.7's Thanks Audiokinesis and Ghs. My Canary CA-160's sounded very nice on the Mags. | |
| Canary ca-160 monoblocks - opinions please My Canary CA-160 monoblocks have been modded by RHB Soundezign. They drive my Magnepan 1.7's magnificently. Excellent sound... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design Hibachi Monoblocks TAD 125 Amplifier Oranda - my comment that caught your attention is in relation to the hyperetched, razor-like presentation of some solid state amps. The Hibachi monoblocks avoid this; in an absolute sense there is no rounding off of the sound. In the relative sens... | |
| Canary preamp experiences? I have the Canary monoblock pre-amplifiers and they were very good in stock form I had the modded by Bob and Gary Backert of RHB Soundezign and they turned them into phenomenal pre-amps. Exceptionally clean and clear sound with great imaging (dept... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design Hibachi Monoblocks TAD 125 Amplifier Hello Frank - you very well may be right. I agree with the often overlooked synergism factor - some equipment just mates a lot better with one piece than another. The Wyred 4 S amp I had was lower powered and, in the same system, was not as dynami... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design Hibachi Monoblocks TAD 125 Amplifier Plato, I hear you. I had the lower powered Wyred 4 Sound 125 wpc amplifier and it sound very silky smooth, clean and clear with nice extension across the frequency spectrum. However, they are definitely leaner sounding than the TAD-125 and are not... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 I have the Magnepan 1.7's plus the other equipment - Bob/Gary Backert modded Canary monblock preamps and CA-160 monblock amplifiers (also modded by Backert), Music Hall MM7 turntable with Goldring Eroica cartridge, Audio Horizons pnonostage, Cambr... | |
| Aether Audio Black Box or Nuforce Magic Cube ??? Ozzy - I will try taking them in and out as well as listening to them without the enacom speaker filters. My initial listening impression detected no taming of the music in my system making it more polite. In fact, it was more in the opposite dire... | |
| Aether Audio Black Box or Nuforce Magic Cube ??? Actually listened this morning to my system with Magic Cubes installed; heavily modded Audio Van Alstine 250 wpc fet-valve amp (daikom filters on terminals), heavily modded air-tight tube preamp, Alesis ML 9600 Balanced power technology modded CD ... | |
| Aether Audio Black Box or Nuforce Magic Cube ??? I just got my Magic Cubes without any filters. I hooked one channel up and purposely left the other channel the same as it was; did this quickly while I was struggling to get out of the house this morning. Anyways, the Magic Cube channel sounder l... | |
| wyred4sound amps Mapman, I also meant my description of pathologically smooth (very silky) in a good way as well. That along with the pristine clarity makes for some interesting sound from the W4S amps. | |
| wyred4sound amps I had the 125 wpc amplifier driven by a hevily modded Airtight tube preamp, a modded Alesis 9600 CD player/recorder going out to Von Schweikert VR5 HSE Anniversary speakers. I used some locally (auto cable engineer) made copper cable (excellent by... | |
| Enacom speaker filters I love them on my Talon Korus speakers; they made an immediate and easily noted difference. Much increased smoothness and liquidity. I highly recommed them. |
