| Kimber 8TC beater? Pc ... I use 8TCs. Thinking about going back to lamp wire. LOL :)Cabling is one of the most contentious and potentially expensive subject A'gon topic. It's really hard to frac the voodoo and hype from the truth. Why not join me in my holy quest fo... | |
| Sloped baffle I think a call to the US Distributor may be in order. Lew... I agree that the DEQX is likely NOT plug and play. From what I picked up from the DEQX web site, one can pay extra for a remote professional set up. To me ... that is just part of the co... | |
| Sloped baffle Thanks Al ... caught that stat after I read your post. Didn't do the math, but I think that the DEQX would likely present an ok input impedance for my linestage even with the impedance buffer (330K ohms). Something north of 30K ohms if my "Jethro ... | |
| Has anyone tried KT150s in their ARC Ref 110? Gary (Hifigeek1) -- fyi. Some many months back, maybe a year ago, I made an online purchase of SED 6550 "Winged Cs" from Upscale Audio. To his credit and honesty, Kevin Deal cancelled the sale because he said there were some problem tubes in his t... | |
| Synergy Between Magicos5 With Pass Labs X350.5 Haven't had a chance to audition the Magicos yet. Thinking about another angle ... phase coherence. See A'gon thread running titled "Sloped Baffle." Very interesting stuff. And the answer to the question not asked yet is "No." The Q: Are Magicos p... | |
| Sloped baffle Psag ... so you say the device is inserted in between the pre amp/linestage and amp?? Well here's a little quandary I may have. My ARC REf 5 SE linestage has to see a combined impedance of not less than 20K ohms. As currently configured, the Ref 5... | |
| Sloped baffle Next week, I'm planning to do some fact finding about the DEQX device. Short of outboard active crossovers, I'm starting to get the sense that mechanical (e.g., sloped baffles) and electrical (i.e., 1st order X-overs), at best, does rough justice.... | |
| Sloped baffle Psag ... just took a quick peek at the DEQX web site. Very interesting. Problem is that it's not cheap and where is the vendor located? What recourse if it doesn't work well. Also, it obviously entails inserting an artifact into the signal path, p... | |
| 4 ohm taps on an 8 ohm speaker Hey TMcClintock .... wild curves??? Who cares? If your rig sounds good, that all that counts. Enjoy!! | |
| Has anyone tried KT150s in their ARC Ref 110? Cmalak, actually, I used to own the VS-115, which was the Ref 110's baby brother. Some said it sounded 85 to 90 percent as good as the Ref 110. Anyway, that's history.The VS-115, when first released, used SED 6550 "Winged C" tubes. They were very ... | |
| Has anyone tried KT150s in their ARC Ref 110? Cmalak ... to the best of my knowledge, ARC has not approved, tacitly or otherwise, the use of the KT-150 tube in any of its amps -- current models or previous versions. Folks who drop the KT-150 into their ARC amps do so at their own risk.Another... | |
| 4 ohm taps on an 8 ohm speaker Wow Tmcclintock .... and I thought my speakers had wild impedance and phase angle curves. :) | |
| New KT150 tubes? Xumbug and Joe ... I don't think I'm contradicting the comments and caveats posted above by saying that even if the Ref 210 "seems" to work ok, how can one know for sure whether using the KT-150s will, or will not, prematurely age the amp over the... | |
| Sloped baffle Bombaywalla, sorry for the confusion. I'm referring to a driver's electrical, not mechanical, attributes. Rather than go off on a tangent, if Al catches these last few posts, he might be able to untangle what I'm trying to say. In the meantime, I'... | |
| New VPI 3D Arm Mat ... It is rare indeed for a company to step up and say what you just posted. I hope my fellow VPI TT owners will be as gracious in accepting your explanation and apology as you were in offering it.Bruce |
