| Plinius SA102, single versus mono? Thanks, but I don't write fiction. | |
| Plinius SA102, single versus mono? Vertical biamping with identical amps will make negligible difference unless severely underpowered in the first place. Bridging quadruples the total power and that will only increase by 6dB. Average listening is around 80dB. Vertical biamping will... | |
| Question on Plinius Amps That was news to me that the SA-102 has been upgraded. Probably so new that media hasn't caught up. Google for reviews on the 100 mk3, 102 and 250. The SA-103 and SA-Reference operate in class A (switchable to A/B, which I call "standby") and are ... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs And that's why I don't read any audio magazines anymore."I think your confusing reality and realism"The second order harmonics question was answered by the Pass Alephs and, to some degree, Plinius SA-series. | |
| Plinius SA102, single versus mono? PSAll that talk about my Gennies makes me want a box of chocolates.PPSFind your Kiwi a mate (to be read with an accent) | |
| Plinius SA102, single versus mono? I couldn't wait. Hooked up both Plinii with an extension cord out to the kitchen. The extension cord fed an industrial 5KVA transformer, supplying balanced AC to the SA100's. Other gear included a Talk Electronics Thunder 3.1B CDP and a DIY TVC pa... | |
| Plinius SA102, single versus mono? Your timing sucks. I recently got a second SA100 mk3 to do just that. Didn't want to hook both up till I got a dedicated line and then the house got sold. My problem is compounded by a third bass amp (Genesis 1600W). That's almost 3KW combined int... | |
| Best amp for Carver Amazing Platinums? Bridging into that low impedance can stress any amplifier not rated into 2 ohms or less. Because of that low impedance and current requirements, capable tube amps are very expensive. Older SS amps, as the Carver, don't have the finesse and imaging... | |
| What so special about electro-static speaker Can't speak for the top of the line 'stats such as Soundlabs but the few lesser expensive 'stats I've heard were fast and detailed but lacked timbre. They had the bow and strings of a violin but not the wood. Same for piano. Anybody, feel free to ... | |
| What is the sonic differences between Manley and.. Okay, now we got a starting point.Both companies have done a lot of work on output transformers since the late 90's and those really dictate the sound. The newer Neo-classics are more than just an evolution just as the Siegfrieds are for VTL. Befo... | |
| What is the sonic differences between Manley and.. Which models? Which year? Since the split, both companies have been evolving but both can take pride in quality products. You just can't compare a 300B to the Snappers or those to the Wotan. | |
| Help me with Speakers Now plz. My personal favorite in that range is PSB Stratus Gold. Big, dynamic floorstander but might be a tad bright in your sytem.Second hand Hales and Dunlavys are going for good prices because they went out of business but consider the shipping for thes... | |
| Does your system always sound good? Yes, it does. Lalalalala. | |
| What price do you put on your gear? The speakers are sacrosanct but everything else is replaceable. Just had to find a new place to live and it was difficult trying to find a suitable home for them. | |
| Infinity Kappa polydome k replacement Thanks. Good info.What I appreciated most about the origional Kappas was the reproduction of sax and woodwind that I attributed mostly to those big domes. They had a breathing quality that even my big Gennies can't match. Tight sealed bass and lim... |
