| Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker? Buy a pair of these digital plate amplifiers. They require a pc to set the crossover settings. You will then need to unscrew the drivers and then desolder the wires and wire some cables onto the drivers and pass them out of the port (or from the... | |
| Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker? I currently own EOS HDX, and have owned just about every model of GMA speaker over the past 10 or so years. I run them with a 2A3 SET and couldn't be happier with the sound. I would describe them as being detailed and revealing. Once you have hear... | |
| Opinion on Elekit 8300 300b Oops - Viridian it is! I will definitely let you know and will likely have questions about caps as I get more deeply into it. Thanks for the tip about the Hammerton paint. | |
| Opinion on Elekit 8300 300b Hi Veridian - I'll let you know how it goes. It is supposed to ship this week. I am taking everyone's advice from the forum - build it stock then upgrade!Might make a goldpoint the first upgrade - love the way they look and right in the signal pat... | |
| Comparison - Kimber 4tc to Anti-cables Just a quick update, after spending a few weeks with these cables, I am liking them more and more, (Please insert all the usual descriptive phrases). I even went back to the Anti-cables and immediately noticed all the qualities that had been bothe... | |
| Opinion on Elekit 8300 300b Just pulled the trigger and ordered the 2a3 Stereomour. I have the manual but the kits are awaiting transformers.Viridian - Thanks for your input. The Bottlehead Forum is really helpful too. | |
| Opinion on Elekit 8300 300b I know, the Miniwatt is not much of an ammp but a friend had one laying around. I was interested in just getting a baseline around output. The Bottlehead looks very nice and is not based on PCB's. Definitely a contender. So I guess I really need t... | |
| Comparison - Kimber 4tc to Anti-cables I agree - balance is a nice way to sum it up. I really thought about trying the 8tc as well. I have long runs and thought the 4tc would be sufficient. I am intrigued that they worked well with the Europas. maybe I'll try them next time I get antsy... | |
| Review: Green Mountain Audio Eos vs Callisto Monitor I think the little guy on the subwoofer is some kind of fertility god - not doing me much good if I just sit here listening to music!I really like my Ayre but also have been wanting to try tube amps sometime - I am on a budget though so maybe in t... | |
| Review: Green Mountain Audio Eos vs Callisto Monitor OK, that is really funny! Seriously made me laugh.Thanks - by the way, that is quite a system you have, you clearly have put a lot of thought, time and energy into (as well as cash I guess). No wonder you never turn it off. Too bad we can't telepo... | |
| Review: Green Mountain Audio Eos vs Callisto Monitor Just wanted to update this review - I received my upgraded EOS back from Roy. He was so great about all of it, helped with shipping, called me regularly to update me, etc. It was worth it just to interact with him.So how do the EOS HD sound? Well,... | |
| DIY Balanced Cables Some follow up - finally got a chance to compare some interconnects with my EOS HD's. It is very easy to hear just about any change with these speakers. While Roy was working on them for me, he recommended I try the Audio Magic Liquid Polymer inte... | |
| Ayre QB-9 USB DAC My understanding is that this DAC only plays at 16 bit resolution and downsamples 24 bit material to 16 bit. My experience with hi-res recordings is that the bit depth (24 bit) is more important than the sampling rate (48 vs 96). I also prefer bal... | |
| Ayre QB-9 USB DAC Yes, this is the first review of this kind I have read for the Ayre. I have one and have had a very different experience with it, finding it very fluid and musical, with excellent timing and and staging. All around wonderful DAC for the money. | |
| DIY Balanced Cables So I went ahead and made up a pair of magnet wire, single strand balanced interconnects. I braided the three wires with a round braid, about 2 braids per inch. The wire is one 26 awg on the signal paths and a 22 awg on the return. Since I don't ha... |
