| Tannoy gold 12" cabinets I am not an expert- you may want to check out the site diyaudio to get more info. That's a great resource. Having played around a bit with my own speakers I can suggest if you go ported use some interior wall lining and minimal stuffing. You want ... | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? He has some interesting things to say about audio... Have you checked out his take on 'small speakers?" Quite the hoot- | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase Thanks for your feedback freesole! Think of it this way... the 590axII gives you more freedom to try higher efficiency speakers!It is a tough call with tubes, the tube lush presence vs ease of maintenance with SS. Even worse, when I was doing tube... | |
| Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase Freesole it sounds like you are enjoying the 509axII over the 509x. Is it enough to draw you away from the LM 805 tube? | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like I've had a L590axII in my system for a month now, it replaced a Yamaha a-s2100. I have run el-34 and 300B tubes with the same main speakers. My thoughts...I like the Lux better (than the Yamaha) all around. Small things mostly.... it has a better ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 vs SA-KI Ruby Thanks for that. You inspired me to run my iPhone pandora through audio engine Bluetooth to KI dac via optical. Huge improvement over rca out from audio engine to amp. CheersRW | |
| Marantz SA-10 vs SA-KI Ruby Tell us what you think after giving it some time | |
| Sub Integration Lots of good advice, mainly on crossover points which are important. One of the things I found huge was getting the phase right. Without it there is a jumbled mess no matter what you do.Probably the easiest way to do it is by ear. Hopefully you ha... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... My short answer would be to try living with the current setup for a while and see how it all comes together. The amp will take some time to settle in- it really sounds to me like you have a really great start and to jump on any changes at the mome... | |
| What was your first 'hi-end' system? Back in about 1975 I had a Stromberg-Carlson integrated tube amp hooked to some very large plywood boxes with 18" Radio Shack guitar speakers inside. No tweeters.The source was a Gerrard TT with a nickel taped to the top end of the tone arm. This ... | |
| How often are Cayin TA-30's for sale? I have one with all the mods that I have not been using lately (I went to a 300b setup with some Altec 604) I found and tried many tubes and loved the amp. If you need further insite let me know. I may part with it at some point, but had not consi... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? I used to be skeptical of the advantage of a sub with 2 channel audio. Then, a system switch to 300B tubes and some vintage Altec 604 speakers brought a glorious lifelike midrange but a less than satisfying lower bass. Feeling I was getting closer... | |
| Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e I really like it in my system. I don't know of any used cdp's that might improve on it for the new price of the 5400 (I paid 1100) If you already have some sacd's and your current player isn't working out- I'd say go for it, if you can spare the c... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I have a cheap Casio from the 80's that keeps as good or better time than most any mechanical watch ever made- I found it in the drawer after three years and it was not off time by more than ten seconds. Your cut and paste does not convince me. As... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES owners question Mine has no definite detents either- a bit of an annoyance, but oh well... The sound is worth the trouble ;-) |
