| B&W Matrix 802s3 Xover upgrade so you had the cap's replaced on the OE boards. Was it an easy fix or did you send them out to have done? | |
| Class A multichannel amplifier? >I realize that a Class A multichannel amp would put out a>lot of heat. Maybe I should consider a Class A/B with high>bias into Class A.You just described the Pass Labs X5 or X3 multi-ch. amps. They are no longer made but a decent piece o... | |
| B&W 802 Matrix Series 1 Sound Poloman:How did you determine whether there was a problem with the Xover? | |
| A voltage driven conundrum I believe the newer JRDG preamps and amps can work on dual voltage. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? My personal experience has been consistent with some of the other posters - Mac gear sounds pretty good but seems a bit slow, bloated and not very resolving.Two of my friends have solid state Mac gear. One with more recent Mac pre/power amps with ... | |
| XA5400es for redbook CDs Interesting.If my setup uses outboard DACs and that's how I would use the XA5400es, is it worth it to add to my system?As for jitter, I would assume most will no longer talk about it after the updated digital lens comes out. | |
| Mcintosh mc 252 or Odyssey Stratos Monos Extreme? First impressions like that can definitely have an effect. I've just never been too impressed with MAC's.Is there any way for you to audition the MAC's at home? That would be the real test. | |
| Mcintosh mc 252 or Odyssey Stratos Monos Extreme? just wondering - any particular reason for wanting the MAC's | |
| The New Jeff Rowland amplifiers ROCK The Corus seems very interesting...http://www.jeffrowland.com/Docs/JRDG_CORUS_MANUAL_2010.pdf | |
| music hall dac25.2-rca or xlr? i prefer the RCA's. | |
| music hall 25.2 DAC mod I've had the DAC25.2 for about a month and it sounds very good. The EH tube not so good. Replaced it with a 60's Tesla (not JJ) E88CC as well as a 60's Amperez 7308. It's a tough choice between the Tesla's better bottom octaves and the Amperex ove... | |
| New DAC recommendation $1K, hopefully tube. The Music Hall DAC25.2 would work.Switch the EH6992 tube with a circa 60's Amperex 7308 or Tesla E88CC. The tube is in the single ended output but NOT the balanced output. | |
| Class A Power Amp Degredation If you do plan on buying a used amp that is around 15 years old, I'd replace the capacitors. Other than that, most SS amps (like the Levinsons, Krells, Pass Labs, etc.) are built conservatively such that they should last decades without fault. | |
| Rowland Capri vs. the ynergy IIi If you do use shorting plugs, make sure they actually "short" the audio signal (i.e., wire the signal to ground). I believe the Cardas product only covers the outside of the RCA inputs rather than shorting them.As JR suggested, you can use a cheap... | |
| Audio Research LS series...... I wouldn't consider an LS2B one of the "tube" ARC preamps (though it has one). It sounds (sounded) to me more like a hybrid or SS preamp.If you have to stick with ARC, I'd go for the LS25. |
