| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... Jtweed, Techmoan on YouTube looked at some tubes buffers implemented as you describe and found they do inject that tube quality. | |
| Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide! I've heard the 726 side by side to the 926. The 926's are vastly better. Tighter bass, far more resolved mid-range, more precisely extended highs. | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 @stereo5 Well damn! The Triton 1 is only as good as a Focal 936? That sounds like an absolute rip-off to me. Not to mention there was strenuous debate about where to place the Sopra. And we all know the Utopia range is class A all day long. | |
| The marantz sound? I like Marantz pre-amps. Try using one with a very detailed, transparent amp. I'm using an Pass F5 with a restored 2252 and it's not a bad combination. Smooth and laid back... It's like no matter how loud you turn it up, it's always kicked back an... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... @geoffkait $40 is a great deal for this much!https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001AT9GP0/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1520647228&sr=8-8&p... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... I don't know, Geoff, but I'm smelling serpents. | |
| re capping Digikey and Mouser are the places to get caps. Tantalum caps like to explode too, so if you're recapping a unit with those they need to go. | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... @geoffkait Sure! Why not? | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... I've been eyeballing this thread for a few days now. Naturally, I've got an opinion or two. From what I can tell, most of virtues people are crediting to tubes isn't tubes at all, but rather the product of transformers and simple topologies. For i... | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response Is that the class D they're selling? As for subs.... Why? | |
| Frequencies >20kHz? If a tweeter is really reaching it's physical limits at 20kHz it's probably got a resonance well within the audible range. If you can get it to reach up to 30 or 40 kHz that resonance is probably never going to reveal itself. You see a lot of meta... | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response The INT-60 would drive them well. I'm currently sitting in a vibrating chair compliments of a 32 watt F5, 936's, and some Bassnectar. I mentioned Naim because Focal owns them and uses their amps to voice their speakers. Bottom line is these speake... | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response I auditioned my 936's with a Cambridge amp. Not bad, but nothing like my F5. It simply didn't grip those speakers with the same authority. What's more, we're talking about speakers with a 2.8 oh low point right in the middle of the mid-bass. No AV... | |
| Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response There are purpose built rears in the 900 series made to be hung on walls. I'd suggest those. They're cheaper than 926's. As far as amplification, these are unique speakers in that they will reward using the best amplification possible, and I reall... | |
| re capping @timlub Why on Earth would you leave a class A amp on all the time? I leave my F5 on for a week and my power bill goes up noticably. Heat destroys caps like nothing else. If you don't think so, why bother with high temp caps that certainly have in... |
