| Weak point in this analog system ? Sorry about the seemingly redundant post above, but I submitted it late last night and it didn't get posted until today after Ad0 described his system.I'm new to vinyl this year, so please take all my opinions with a HUGE grain of salt, I simply d... | |
| Weak point in this analog system ? Sorry about the late response, I posted it before Ad0 described the rest of his system.Anyway, it sounds like he's loooking for "a little more flesh on the bones" kind of presentation. Something richer with greater tonal density.On the tube side, ... | |
| Room Design for Best sound? Here's an article that you must read...Positive Feedback magazine writer Michael Lavigne just built a state of the art dedicated listening room(30'x21'x11') in his barn. He had Rives Audio do the design work.His article Building a Reference Grade ... | |
| Weak point in this analog system ? I don't know Sdcampbell, have you ever heard a Scheu and compared it to other TT's? There's a definite performance reason why the founders of Teres, Redpoint, Gablier, and a few other cutting edge turntable companies originally set out together to... | |
| Yba electronics and JM Reynaud speakers? I owned an Audio Refinement Complete integrated (YBA owned) and JMR Twins mkII's for a bout 5 years. AN amazing combination, always extremely musical and non-fatiguing. During that time, I also had JMR Cantabile floorstanders and a YBA Integra DT ... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker Hey Mikemarv, the Cain & Cain I-Bens being displayed at the VTV show are actually mine along with my Art Audio PX-25 amp. I think the dealer, Paul Lim of Imagine HiFi, will be using a single Bailey subwoofer(I use two). For preamplifier, he'll... | |
| 10k 300B single ended amp, what should I choose? Hey Linkoping,Have you considered going after the Art Audio Adagio monoblocks being auctioned here right now? The Adagio are the most powerful amps AA makes. Depending on the output tubes used, they are 40 or 60 wpc. The bass output is supposed to... | |
| How to deal with microphonic 300B tubes. Herbie's Tube Dampers wouldbe the first thing I'd try. Call Herbie first to find out which one's would work best with the KR's. I think the KR internal(and external)structure is more heavy duty than TJ's, WB's, etc.so may need a special version.I ... | |
| 10k 300B single ended amp, what should I choose? Hi Linkoping,It's great to hear you've already used a Jota because it is very hard to describe how AA amps.You might want to talk to Joe about their high powered Jota which uses the KR52BX tube. It puts out 40-50% more current than the Jota you us... | |
| 10k 300B single ended amp, what should I choose? I also have 97dB fullrange speakers , Cain & Cain IM-Bens.I've got Welborne DRD 300B monoblocks and the above mentioned 6 wpc Art Audio PX-25. The PX-25 is a far superior amp in term of drive, tonal richness/density, control, finesse, detail, ... | |
| Looking for a good phono preamp solid state... Looks like I made 2 mistakes...1) Not seeing that Mfs was looking in the sub-$500 rangeand2) Giving the impression that I was trying to be the "forum police" - I wasn't. Just thinking that he would get more answers in that forum because phono prea... | |
| Looking for a good phono preamp solid state... Well, this question would get a lot more answers in teh "Analog" forum, but you should do reasearch and look into the Graham Slee Era Gold mkV phono pre.I have it along with it's matching Elevator EXP "transformerless" steup unit for low output mo... | |
| Old Digital vs New digital. For those with Museatex dacs, try a Moray James digital cable. I just got mine yesterday and it is leagues ahead of the 6-7 other toslink and coax cables I've tried. And, if you haven't already, get Jon Wright(of Museatex) to upgrade the dacs to 2... | |
| Interesting paper on deep bass perception... Cool, all I need then is to pick up one of the digital crossovers. I've got a pair of matching 87dB/8-ohm passive subs driven by a Hafler DH-500 amp (250wpc). My mains are ~-3dB@40Hz. | |
| Interesting paper on deep bass perception... Very cool Greg,I'm still reading the paper, but would love to try the 3 speaker approach if I can find someone in the Los Angeles area with an extra sub and an active crossover. |
