| Von Schweikert VR-4JR Bi-Wire 01-18-08: AballJust use two separate runs of cable for each speaker. Make sure your amp's posts can handle a stacked pair of spades first though.He doesn't want to do that, Aball.I don't, for looks sake only, want to run two separate cables.Moondo... | |
| Prog Rock.....Porcupine Tree? Lightbulb Sun is the starting point, IMO. If I owned only one PT disc, Lightbulb would be the one. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4JR Bi-Wire You'll likely have to have something custom made. You could do something yourself with four conductor Canare 4S11 by running the intact cable from amplifier to the speaker's lower module where you would split out two conductors to the lower module... | |
| Tube sound with no tubes 01-18-08: LakPlinius have a tube-like sound.Lak, what does tube-like sound mean to you? Would you please describe it? | |
| Need budget CHEAP speaker cables I concur with the Canare 4S11 suggestion. | |
| Modwright LS-36.5 vs Hovland HP-100 / HP-200 It'll help to list the rest of your system, and to state your listening preferences and tonality goal. | |
| Diff. between Soliloquy "i" series and older type I believe the "i" series had a waveguide on the tweeter. | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k 01-07-08: SuttsI guess I better chime back in here on the balanced thing. The preamp is definitely a true balanced design, as is the dac.Is your transport also fully balanced?If the Belles 150A Reference monoblocks were thin and edgy in my system,... | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker Clement and other reviewers change their systems fairly often. Sweetheart deals from manufacturers help, but that's another topic.He caused quite a stir when he reviewed, purchased, and had modded a Reimyo CDP-777. Now, the buzz has quieted to sil... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k Sutts has not mentioned (unless I overlooked it) if his source is fully differentially balanced, so the point may be moot.I use a fully balanced source (turntable) and an unbalanced source (CD player), which pass their signals through a fully bala... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k I owned a VAC Phi 110/110 which was outstanding with Von Schweikert VR Gen III HSE loudspeakers. Also look into the Bella Extreme 100 monoblocks. I haven't heard them, but again they have received some nice comments from owners and at least one re... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k Sutts, I have not heard any Monarchy amps...only read about them. The descriptions of them seem to echo your requirements, so I brought them to your attention.The Belles amps are transparent/neutral. If you're looking for forward mids, then they a... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k 01-07-08: Jmcgrogan2While other single ended amps like the Belles, Lamm and EAR intrigue you.Haven't we established that the Belles and Lamm amps are balanced, or are you discussing fully differentially balanced versus non-differentially balanced?... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k They are full enough in the mids to suit me, but the ultimate sound will be determined to a large extent by your preamp and speakers. Buy a used pair and resell them if they're not to your taste.BTW, your description of what you want seems to corr... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k Sutts, with your Coincident speakers, I'd go with Israel's suggestion and use tubes. Given a choice between tubes and solid state, I'd choose tubes as well, but solid state seems to work better (or more to my preference) on my Silverlines.There is... |
