| Why are my mosfet fuses blowing? I'll bet the Tannoys do fine- no fuse blowing. Your issue sounds remarkably similar to mine. If that's truly the case, you could, if the Thiels allow it, bi-amp or bi-wire the system with a second Classe amplifier. Be forewarned, though, you still... | |
| N.East Storm Destroyed Several Component Circuitry Agree totally. UNPLUG. The only way to be sure.BTW- if you have homeowner's insurance, you can probably drop a claim in for your damaged equipment. Worth a try. | |
| Why are my mosfet fuses blowing? A short somewhere shouldn't be something that comes and goes. You only blow when you listen at high volume, correct? If it were a short somewhere, it should blow at any volume level. I would check with Thiel. The impedance of many larger speakers ... | |
| Krell amp with Zu Essence speaker Hope so. Should be about two weeks now. Shouldn't need a lot of power with these. Most speakers need to get over the 100 dB mark to really start to sing and exhibit their best. With the Essence, that should take about two watts of power. Full rang... | |
| advice for cd player Have a look at Ayon. The CD-2 won CD Player of the Year awards at RMAF 2009, and the newly released CD-5 is said to be a quantum leap over the CD-2. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Currently, an Ayon CD-2. Upgrading to the CD-5 in about a week. The CD-5 has been getting smoking good reviews. | |
| Any experience with Y-interconnects? Thanks! Looks like the CD-5 is a go. Anyone want a pristine EAR 868 full function preamp? Look for the ad shortly. | |
| Krell amp with Zu Essence speaker Absolutely. I'll let you know. Should be here by mid-March. I imagine yours are on the manufacturing line right now, too. You may want to try a tube amp with the Essence. They're designed for that, and the 12 ohm load they present is right up a tu... | |
| Low pass crossover setting & slope for Kappa 9? Might be a dumb question, but why do you need an active crossover? The way these are set up, if you remove the metal insert between the twin binding posts, you eliminate thecrossover at 80 Hz....you drive the woofers with the low end amp and the m... | |
| Krell amp with Zu Essence speaker Did you get a listen to the Essence yet? I bought a pair a little over a month ago. Will be another month before I receive them. My situation is quite a bit different- I have all tube gear and a MastersounD Compact 845 SET amp- about 30 wpc. I cho... | |
| Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence Yeah, I move stuff around quite a bit. New stuff? In my den. Wife wants to get rid of some crap around the house, where's it go? My den. My drums have moved around four or five times. When I set up home theater in there, everything got moved. Big ... | |
| Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence There's a lot here about the limitations of single driver systems- problems with high frequency response and/or lack of detail, problems with bass, particularly with smaller horn systems....I've recently gone away from floorstanding speakers. I ca... | |
| Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence Isn't the new Druid a totally different design than previously? Thought it was similar to the Essence in size and cabinet...the Druids they have now are bookshelf monitors. Anyways, it seems like many people have a lot of positive things to say ab... | |
| 6SN7 tubes Thanks, Casouza! Went with RCA JAN VT-231 tubes, the ones with grey glass. They're a little darker sounding, and are a good match. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole Classic vs. Ayon CD-2 I've not listened to the Audio Aero, but I recently purchased the Ayon CD2, and I can say is WOW! It's like the musicians are right in the room with you. It's just a great piece of equipment, built like a tank, too.One thing- if you want a tube CD... |
