| Tube Amp vs Solid State Amp HELP definitely a tube amp with the dalis so you can tube roll to take the edge off of the treble. | |
| Looking For A Subwoofer JL Audio D108. Sounds musical because it has a flat usable frequency response and is not a one note wonder. Also has all the features needed for perfect integration including a continuous phase angle adjustment and speaker level inputs. | |
| Advice on speaker pairing with my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum using KT120 output tubes. Harbeth C7ES3. Perfection with the Rogue and some judicious small signal NOS tube upgrades. | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? almost a year ago- but do you still have the El34s in the cronus mag? I would like to try this also, thanks. | |
| Subwoofer hunt JL subs are bulletproof and easy to integrate because of the adjustments available including continuous phase. They also have flat frequency responses which also makes them music worthy because the avoid frequency peaks- one note wonder syndrome ... | |
| Raven Audio Tube amps i had the nighthawk and blackhawk and each delivered an extraordinary high end sound quality. | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? in this range a raven audio blackhawk or rogue cronus magnum ii with tube upgrades sounds much more transparent and dimensional than the halo. | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? The halo is really nice sounding- could not find anything wrong that it did. also class A stereophile. sounds much better than a hegel h160 IMHO. | |
| Cronus Mag 2 v. Line Magnetic 501 IA The CM II sounds worlds better with 5 NOS small signal tubes- e.g. RCA, Amperex, Sylvania. | |
| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. The Pharaoh sounds much better than the Sphinx. I could not tolerate the edge to the Sphinx sound. The Pharaoh has gobs of power and just does not stop. The bass drive and control is extreme. | |
| Looking for an upgrate from Cronus Magnum you guys with experience with the pharaoh- do you think it gives up anything in sound quality to the CM? does it have a sound signature? what type of speakers pair best with it? thanks. | |
| Looking for an upgrate from Cronus Magnum Quite honestly a subwoofer is the wrong direction if you want more bass definition. You need to increase the power at nominally 100Hz +/- 20 Hz for bass impact and definition. A subwoofer is poor at reproducing those frequencies. If your speake... | |
| When speakers duplicate drivers Done correctly it can work quite well for more power handling. SPL and dynamics- especially bass output. A good example would be two woofers handing off to a midrange driver at a low enough frequency (e.g. 400Hz) where distortion and phase issues... | |
| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd Paradigm Monitor 11 if you can swing them- amazing for rock. Next best from there would be the PSB X2T. Really good speakers. | |
| Opinions: Joseph Audio Pulsar vs Dynaudio Conficence C1 vs Totem Element Fire vs ????? I was heavily auditioning speakers for the past year and was listening to everything ~ 6K or so. I just wasn't happy with what I was hearing- KEF, Harbeth (except the SuperHL5), GoldenEar, Dali, etc. Then while at my dealer I wandered into their... |
