| Recommend an amp + pre for ESL 57s and a new turntable (way out of my league) I have owned the 57 and 63 at the same time. I agree with @cfarrow in that the point source design of the 63 is one of Walker's best efforts and the coherency is amazing. However, there is something about the 57 that makes it more seductive and pl... | |
| Recommend an amp + pre for ESL 57s and a new turntable (way out of my league) It's not just the treble panel you need to be concerned about but it's good you have the protection circuit. My recommendation would be to reach out to one of the Quad experts, either Kent McCollum at Electrostatic Solution or Sheldon Stokes. I kn... | |
| Final-Audio New Series electrostatics I was very curious about these speakers as I really liked their footprint. I have a bit of a narrow room and working with Ravi, who provided great support throughout the process, I was able to get a Model 5 without the bass speaker, which I did no... | |
| Recommend an amp + pre for ESL 57s and a new turntable (way out of my league) I worked for Roger Modjeski for 5 years and we restored my pair of ESL 57s together. There are some things that you would need to understand before selecting the approprate amplification for the speakers. First @peter_s made a good recommendation ... | |
| Subwoofer Question After using an active crossover and 4 passive woofers I built based on a design by Roger Modjeski I decided to try active subwoofers and purchased 4 KEF KC62 subs with balanced force drivers. KEF has an interesting take on setting LP and HP filter... | |
| Amplifier Paradox…and more! @gs5556 You can also flip it and ask which speaker do you recommend for this amplifier. I always select the amplifier first and then the speaker. In either case though, one could easily also ask the manufacturer who should be able to give a recomm... | |
| Can AI Build a speaker? The AI presented its incorrect recommendations as if they were absolute facts, with no clue in the wording that there was any uncertainty or any possibility of error. Yes AI can be convincing in its delivery of content and the uneducated are ... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? @dman777 Your digital source with balanced out has 4.2V output, your preamp 15 dB gain, and your amp is 1.4V sensitive which translates to 31 dB gain. Quite simply you have too much gain and as a result need to find a way to attenuate that gain. A... | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? @dman777 Are you using the RCA or XLR outputs on the Eversolo? | |
| Electronic cross-over on pre-amp out, to split signal to subwoofer and bookshelf speakers I started using an electronic crossover about 8 years ago and am not inclined to go back. I have used Marchand, Accuphase, and Beveridge electronic crossovers. The latter 2 being vintage pieces. Depending on your budget there are a lot of options ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Wendell Diller has been insisting forever that a monopole woofer "does not work" with a dipole loudspeaker, and Magnepan has been working on a dipole woofer system for a number of years. Well maybe with Magnepan speakers but otherwise the stat... | |
| Music Reference RM-4 Input-Loading and Gain-Select plugs For those interested we still have some of the original loading and gain plugs in our inventory for RM-4s. We even have some RM-4 and RM-4+ units (some with an extra line input and volume control so it can be a preamp). If interested go to the RAM... | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. @prof Unfortunately we do not have any 6FQ7s. When you are ready let us know. We don't ship worldwide any longer but we do ship to Canada. To help offset the tariffs we are thinking of providing an equivalent discount on goods for Canadian custo... | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. @bdp24 I wish more people used 5751s. Roger originally stocked them for Conrad Johnson preamps. The GE gray plates we have don't seem to be of much interest to folks for some reason. Maybe I need to put them on sale for a bit so more people realiz... | |
| Loudspeaker designer/manufacturer John DeVore shows reviewer Ken Micallef his system. @prof The Super Low Noise RAM 6922 are expensive but if you like the 5751 you will love the 6922. Also, no tariffs, we have hundreds in stock as Roger would buy thousands of tubes at a time. Contact us via our website and let's chat. I wish more p... |
