| I think I've made up my mind Plus also, who's to say how accurate published specs are or that specific units operate to spec? Mapman (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers)For components that make it into Stereophile reviews, John Atkinson's test measurements are invaluable fo... | |
| I think I've made up my mind an amp with 60K, 100K, or 200K input impedance would probably sound different and might sound better than one with 30K input impedance, all other factors aside.Mapman (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers)It might. Not having heard a match with th... | |
| I think I've made up my mind Mapman, what I have posted here are specifically the impedance numbers for the REF3 and XA-60.5, including test measurements from John Atkinson for the XA-30.5, which correlates to the XA-60.5 (comparing the specs on the Pass Labs website).Atkinso... | |
| Technics SL1200 Footer thread size? The adjustment range of the Technics footers is about 1/4" from what I recall. | |
| I think I've made up my mind The match may be within range but 30K ohm is still towards the low end of the SS amp input impedance range from what I've seen, which seems to be around 10K ohm.Mapman (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers)I don't understand this comment. In the c... | |
| I think I've made up my mind 04-09-10: Jon2020...if it sounds bland or dull, it is quite likely the impedance mismatch with your amps, as suggested by Pubul. I used the REF3 with Pass Labs XA-60.5 running balanced. The input impedance of the XA-60.5 in balanced mode is 30K oh... | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? Fredorama, have you ever considered a Moscode 401HR? Great amplifier. Not as large as a Plinius or Pass stereo amp, and runs cooler... | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? ...btw, the amps that replaced the Odyssey Extreme Monos in my system were Belles 150A Reference monoblocks. I thought they had better tonal balance than the Odyssey amps (which were a bit bass heavy, IMO), and both the highs and upper mids had le... | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? Odyssey amps come up used fairly regularly. I owned a pair of Odyssey Extreme Monos with red boards.Having spoken with Klaus on several occasions, I know that he can be very persuasive. I bought a used pair for slightly less than what he was propo... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Mapman beat me to it.Go Ultraman! | |
| Excellent affordable cables and interconnects. In my system(s), Straley Reality Cable and Morrow Audio speaker cables have been excellent, having replaced cables costing 4X more. | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? 04-07-10: FredoramaTvad, if what you're saying is that the demand will be lower on resale, thus I will get a lower price or it will take longer to sell, then I agree with you 100%. But I am interested in getting a pleasing sonic result first and f... | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? An addendum to my previous post.Audiogon is an outstanding resource for advice from members who have already travelled the road, learned the hard way, and gotten wiser as a result. When several members provide similar recommendations based on pers... | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? 04-07-10: Fredorama...while I think that your advice may be generally true, I don't believe that is the case here. Sorry. You're wrong, It doesn't matter who mods the gear, there are fewer buyers interested in modded gear than pristine, factory or... | |
