| Going to take the plunge on JM Lab Micro Utopia Be I have a Hovland HP100 & Pass X150.5 with Diva Be and works well. I just got rowland 201 & will let you know how it goes. Diva can be lean sounding and tend to work better with warmer electronics. Pass, Plinus Gyphon, Mcintosh & tubes.... | |
| Cables for B&W and Rotel system. It's true that sweet & sour does not mean tasteless but no component is 100% true to the source. Like most things, balance is the key. True to the source does not always equate to realistic either.Experiment with cables that you can get your h... | |

| Speaker cables for JM Lab DIVA? Thanks Joe. I'm looking for 2.5M pair that's <1200.I'm tempted by Ridge St. cable or Pure Note. They are both silver cable and I'm worried that it may sound too thin. | |
| Cables for B&W and Rotel system. kimber speaker cables works very well with B&w. I've tried audioquest slate, acoustic zen hologram ii, synergistic 10x, bifocal xl is the best. detailed, smooth, lots of texture. | |
| Focus Audio Classic Phil,Mail me the PDF. I can read Chinese & I'm happy to translate a sumarized version.Whitty, I've Sig 805. How is the 688 better? | |
| Kharma Ceramique 3.1 vs 3.2 CRM Thanks, Jtinn. The 3.1 uses a scanspeak tweeter but not the Revelator. Is that correct? | |
| Ayre CX-7- Better balanced or RCA? CX-7 into Pass X1/X150. No significant diff.. Same cardas cable diff only in XLR/RCA. 1M run. Both Ayre & Pass claim improved performance in XLR. My ears may be broken but so be it. | |
| EAD 8000 & 8800 Thanks guys. I have had a 4BSST with the 805s. This combo needed warm pre-amp & wires to tame a bright treble. Is tonal balance of the bryston pre-amp/pro similar to the amps?I would probably get the EAD processor & set up a 4.1 HT with S8... | |
| Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp Hovland HP100 into Pass X150. Output Imp. 2K Ohm quoted by Manufacturer but rise to 4700 Ohm towards 20Hz per stereophile test report. Input Impedance of Pass Lab approx 22K Ohm. This yields a 1/10 ratio at most freq but 4/10 at base. Theoreticall... | |
| Phantom mode for DD ot DTS Thanks guys | |
| Tube Rolling For ASL Hurricanes I have been considering a Hurricane. What happens to the amp when a tube fails? Does it blow a resistor or you simply replace the bad tube? Are there any reliability problems? | |
| BAT VK 75SE and ARC VT 100 MKIII 75W & 100W probably not much difference in power. I have S805s and there was only marginal differences betw. 300W (bryston), 150 W (pass), 100W (ARC VS110). I have a bookshelf with medium sized room so floorstanders 803 and up are different. I... | |
| Avalon vs Kharma Guys, Ain't got no big bucks, man. The diamond is most definitely out of the question unless my 1(900)FengShui start picking up. Maybe bringing Krispy Creme to China? William Hung Fan club?I was hoping to repo an used Eidolon, Opus Ceramique or ne... | |
| Bryston 4B-SST and Audio Research SP-16 Should try a Cary Spl 308 pre. I had that combo and it was very synergistic. Very musical yet dynamic. Some said the slight whitenss/grain (whatever that means)in the ARC SP16 can be exacerbated with Bryston (mildly bright). The Hovland which tend... |
