| Nola Boxer speaker - for condo system IMO, a receiver isn't going to do justice to these speakers. Carl (Nola) leans heavily towards tube amplification. Of course, it's a personal decision whether you prefer SS or tubes, but I find there's a deeper/larger soundstage and a distinct lus... | |
| Tube headphone amp? Bottlehead's Crack OTL Headphone Amp Kit is getting rave reviews by owners. Check out the Crack forum for more information. | |
| Denon cartridge vs Audio Technica cartridge Without knowing the effective mass of the tonearm, my guess is the DL-301 and AT150MLX would be a better match. The DL-103 needs a heavy arm -- ideally 14-15 grams. I doubt your Denon arm is that heavy. | |
| EAR 834P Impedance? Did Dan design the EAR 834P? | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil remember a lot of components are not very well connected to the casing, so even if you damp the casing of a cap, the windings themselves might resonate all on their own.Duelund_coherent_audio (Answers | This Thread)That's a good point, but it cert... | |
| EAR 834P Impedance? I don't know if Dan's comments were directed at Stereophile or someone else, but the fact remains that EAR doesn't provide an official impedance spec for the 834P in their product brochure or on their website. Stereophile took the time to measure ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Has anyone considered "potting" their external crossovers in some sort of viscoelastic gel? If vibration has such a negative influence on caps and inductors, wouldn't damping be the solution? Some of you have gone to great lengths to externalize y... | |
| EAR 834P Impedance? I wonder where Dan came up with his MC values. Stereophile measured the 834P and found the following: Set to MM, the 834P's input impedance was 49.7k ohms in the left channel, 51k ohms in the right. The input impedances for the MC setting were 515... | |
| lessloss blackbody A similar phenomena happened a year ago in this forum: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1246375714An interesting comment was made by someone in that thread: 07-31-09: Jp1208So what or who made those 6 individuals all of the sudden... | |
| lessloss blackbody Cwlondon, good eye. I just went through the posts and verified what you point out. The writing looks similar too. If it's the same person, using the same computer, Audiogon would see the same IP address for 6 or more members. Maybe they don't have... | |
| Sennheiser HD650 Headphone Amp Bottlehead Crack OTL headphone amp is $219 new. It was designed for high impedance cans like Sennheiser HD650. You'll find plenty of technical info and owner comments in the Bottlehead forum. | |
| Denon DL-103R Wood Body Mod Dave Pogue, I'm curious what tonearm you were using to mount the 103 ebony? | |
| Denon DL-103R Wood Body Mod Yes, many of us have done it. Here's an excellent reference site: http://home.comcast.net/~omaille/audio/DL103/DL-103.html | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? Who has found happiness giving up cd player?I like Bob_bundus's reply, but it means I have to get up every 15 minutes. I've been extremely happy with a Mac Mini connected to a DAC using toslink. My laptop serves as a remote via screen sharing. Al... | |
| Wyred DACS There's plenty of discussion about features. Can *anyone* offer comments on the sound? Have any reviews been done yet? Many thanks in advance. |
