| ModWright LS36.5 + PS36.5 I have the LS36.5 and the PS36.5 and a PS Audio PP1000.The PP1000 has improved every source and pre I have tried with it but I don't believe it will make a standard LS36.5 sound like one with a new PS36.5. Clean AC is important but the PS36.5 is c... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II I own Andra IIs and I admit they take time and effort to set up perfectly. It was a long haul to get them sounding their best but once I got them set up right they sounded/sound fantastic. They image extremely well, have deep, tight bass and the s... | |
| Preamp: Mcintosh vs Modwright? Hi Hpower,I am not sure what Modwright calls the "Signature" SWL, could it just be the added tubed PSU? The SWLP has the outboard tubed PSU PLUS the MWI capacitors.I think the line stage circuit is the same as the SWL otherwise.I would think the n... | |
| Preamp: Mcintosh vs Modwright? I had my SWL upgraded to the SWLP. The SWLP has the outboard tube rectified PS, all new Modwright Caps and the phono stage with it's 6C45 and 6N1P tubes. The linestage section uses the same 5687 tubes as the SWL.My SWL was in the rack for 14 month... | |
| Salk or Selah or ? I, too, heard the Selah 3D speakers at RMAF. I loved them. They sound very much like my Andra IIs with a bit more air and spaciousness. I liked them so much I am considering purchasing a pair in the near future. My only concern is exactly as Jeff ... | |
| Underwood HiFi Ultimate Mod Denon 3910 Hi Ed,Regarding DVD-A, DVD-V and SACD multichannel performance, I find the 3910 does a tremendous job. It might just be the subwoofer that gives the player that added rock and roll umph it lacks on straight 2 channel CDs. Or maybe it's the added r... | |
| Underwood HiFi Ultimate Mod Denon 3910 I own one. It's a fine sounding player. I swapped the OE tubes (EH6922) for Amperex 7308 and this sweetened the sound. The EH tubes were ok but they were too lean in the mids. The 7302s added some warmth.The only complaint I have is of a very, and... | |
| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys Lee,You say the room is 15 ft wide by 25 ft long and you have the speaks 4.5' from the side walls. So they are 6 ft apart. At what distance is your listening position? Could you be sitting in a bass null? Is the bass better/fuller in other places ... | |
| Warm and Detailed S.S. Amp? I'll offer an alternative suggestion, if you don't mind.Dan Wright has a new tube rectified PSU for the SWL that adds a very sweet warmth that the original PSU lacks. From what I heard at RMAF the new PSU and the other changes Dan has made to his ... | |
| How to ship my speakers out of state I used Team Air to pick up and deliver 2 215# speakers earlier this Summer. Everything went as smoothly as I could have hoped. The seller and I agreed to purchase new crates and they arrived with only the slightest wear and I believe transit time ... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Eggleston Works Andra II Ije, any update on your decision?I am looking at the Andra's as well, have a DNA 500 and SWL so your findings are of interest to me. | |
| Preamp impedance mismatch with McCormack DNA2 I have a Modwright SWL 9.0 and run it into a McCormack DNA 500.It is a really fantastic combo. The Modwright has an output impedance of 600 ohms and it drives the 500 without any problem. | |
| Hearing loss and center image I know this is going to sound silly... and it is... but I wear a cap that pushes my right ear out( the one with the deficit) just enough that the center image comes into focus. You might think I look silly, sitting there, listening with my wool ca... |
