| What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio Timrhu,Sorry about the late response. I'm so impressed with the Polk RTA11t's that I am considering the LSi9's as you suggest. (Or even the LSi25 as they have a modern look, small footprint, and powered subs that can be used w/ the CA 640A's pre o... | |
| Rack/component fans? Buconero117,I don't think you answered his question. Anyway how can a laptop cooler be used, as they are usb powered. (Lastly, is usb 12 volt, and if so can you cut off the end and attach a 12v wallwart plug?)I'm likewise looking for a super quiet... | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Stonedeaf,Sounds like a nice system.I had the Benchmark DAC and used it as a preamp directly into a tube poweramp. Wonderful!Have you considered feeding your CDP into the Benchmark's coaxial input and the Sony tuner into the Benchmark's optical in... | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Stonedeaf,I'm curious, what does the rest of your system consist of? | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Jim,Good to read about you positive assessment of the SE version. Keep us informed as it breaks in. Thinking about the Class A rating, the amp could also have a Class A input stage then AB after that. | |
| What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio I'm using a pair of vintage Polk Audio RTA11t foorstanders for now. Outstanding synergy. These Polk's are from when they made audiophile speakers, and have midrange clarity, imaging, and an articulate bass. They compliment CA's PRaT and clarity wi... | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Stonedeaf,As you know amps characteristics change many times through the breaking in process as the electronics settle in. I'd like your impression w/ balanced and RCAs after many weeks have gone by. During the night time hours and while at work u... | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 Paulsax,If possible, it is important to listen the speakers in the same environment and w/ the same electronics you will be using. At least you used the same electronics which is very important. I was commenting on folks that used one type of spea... | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 As I was reading this post I was shocked to hear folks comparing the Polks w/ an AVR receiver to other speakers w/ pre-power combos or integrated amps. This is no way to make a valid comparison. I've never been a Polk fan or Polk hater, only becau... | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition B&W mate exceptionally well with Classe and Mac. No need to necessarily go with tubes w/ Mac power amps (unless you want to) as they use output transformers like tube amps do. I've heard the B&W/Mac SS combo and it floored me. Many swear b... | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Stonedeaf,Let us know what you think when you get it. What is the rest of your system that these amps will integrate into? | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition I think the SE version adds balanced input and higher filter capacitance. They may have upper the quality on internal parts and added a toriodal transformer. All in all it may be smoother, more musical and less harsh than the original. | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition Is every one aware that the new Adcom is not the same company it was in the '80-'90s company. It was bought out about 8 years ago and they moved from the east coast to Arizona. The new company was a digital company offered better HT processing in ... | |
| Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3? Lightminer,You are so correct. I'm glad you chimed in. It was considered the best amp at the time by many. The Aleph series sound right.Thank you! | |
