| Step down transformer (220V to 100/110V) or buy 220V version of Shindo preamp @essrand I have been in your same shoes: moving from US to a 220V country with my audio.The 220>110 transformer will certainly work without problem, and what glennewdick said above is a good guideline. Whether this affects sound will depend on ... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? @fsmithjack Thanks for the quick and clear answer! The chances of finding someone having heard these two amps were pretty slim, yet I got lucky.Did your FFX have the Hashimoto output and power transformers?On pictures these amps look good. How are... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? @fsmithjack Sorry for this post out of place, but digging the forum I saw you have experience with both Yamamoto and Triode Lab SETs, which are strong condidates to be my next amp. Would very much appreciate your input as to differences in sound a... | |
| Has anyone ever heard these speakers by Volti Audio? @emil Did you mean Beyma 4592 or BMS 4592? | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps Good idea. I will email him and see how it goes.Yet I live in Argentina so would need to buy from Tone Imports and ship it here. Or I could buy from the manufacturer in China and ship it here. Anybody knows how they sell retail in China? Website?T... | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps I'm intrigued by the Line Magnetic amps and can use help from those who know the line. Searching online I see reviews of products not listed on Tone Imports website so wondering if the line is broader than what is displayed online? I'm looking for... | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? @kalali The benefit of doing that is the speaker cables are kept shortest, while one channel will be a lot more demanded that the other one just because of power draw for each band.Alternatively, using the same two stereo amps, one for L and R bas... | |
| Bybee Audio tweeks. IQSE I haven't tried these IQSE, but I first bought one of his small filters and placed in in my amp signal in and I liked the improvement. Later I bought two of his larger golden filters (can't remember the names, sorry) and placed them inside my spea... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for B&W 805 D3 (Peachtree, Parasound, Hegel, Schiit?) Stelo,I've had B&W 804S for several years since they were the new thing. At the time I upgraded amplification I did some listening at audio stores carrying B&W and different amp brands. I really liked McIntosh. My final audition was with t... | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? I believe the answer is in how well either alternative is implemented, like so many things in audio. I have tried it multiple ways and success was directly related to my skill level at the time.From a speaker manufacturer standpoint, providing jus... | |
| Tidal free trial subscription Initially I tried Tidal thru the trial period, decided not to pursue, and they were easy to deal with. Eventually decided to go back for it, integrated with Roon and HQPlayer and have been very happy with how it works and the sound I get. | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener I owned REL Storm III and loved it. I tried line level and speaker level connections. I really liked what the sub could do for my system. Bought a measuring mic and learnt how to use REW. So I could measure the impact of varying placement.Later I... | |
| Budget SET or SEP recommendations? Interesting to me nobody mentioned Yamamoto. The 45 and 2a3 are in the same price range as the Finale 300B, but the Yamamoto 300B is more expensive.Seems this brand is not well promoted in North America. Fit and finish also off the charts. Worth r... | |
| Would a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe slay a Parasound JC2? I had a McIntosh MC275 with a Rotel preamp. The Lamm was an improvement across the board, which was not surprising given the price difference. In my case even the bass seemed deeper, let alone the midrange improvement. It was way more spacious.I a... | |
| Tekton Pendragons - looking for low watt SET amp FWIW I'm also looking into SETs and have my eye on a Yamamoto A-08S (based on 45 tubes) |
