| Magico V-2 vs. Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos Haven't heard the Magico V2's, BUT a few years ago we did an 'AB' of the originalMagico Minis vs. The original GH's. All preferred the GH's by a wide margin. In my room which is appx. the same size as yours, the GH's just worked a lot better. Have... | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? Good eye Kijanki... I own a Rowland model 8 and a Roland Microcube, amazinglyI think that the Roland might be the louder of the two..:0) | |
| any audiophile guitarists out there? I've been playing for over 30 years..oops that kind of dates me.I love my Fender natural ash American Tele, Eric Clapton Blackie Strat with noiseless pup's and my Taylor 810. I use a Mesa Boogie Tremoverb with 2 12" Celestion Vintage's running Sve... | |
| What's up with winged c 6550's? Mamad and Btstrg, Thanks for the help. Apparently, the tubestore.com has these tubes. Ctech has a few BUT no singles... | |
| Matching preamp to amp Well guys, I hooked up the ARC today and it worked very well with the CAT.Unfortunately after about 20 minutes there was a VERY loud cracking soundand i think one of the tubes ARC'ed ( pun intended).( Luckily I managed to mute the output before it... | |
| Matching preamp to amp Thanks Rrog, I haven't yet tried the CAT/ARC combo, but should be able to nextweek.I will post as to the results.My current setup of CAT/Jeff Rowland model 8 works very well together, although I can set the input impedance on the model 8 to accomm... | |
| Matching preamp to amp Rrog, I am not worried about the fact that the CAT has enough output todrive the ARC, instead I am concerned that it has way too much output.The ARC is rated at 0.95 volts to drive it to full power... Since the CAT has the ability to drive 50 volt... | |
| Matching preamp to amp Hi Al,Thanks, that is what I think I need.DaveyF | |
| Matching preamp to amp Al, I think that the problem may be that the preamp has far more outputthan the amp needs to reach full power. The CAT has the ability to swing 7 volts at its output whereas the ARC is at full power with just 0.95 volt. Therefore, i am concerned t... | |
| An Informal Assessment of Anti Cables 2chnlben, I think if you look at my system pictures you will see what truebi-wiring looks like... two(2) cables per channel and from an amp that has two(2) parallel outputs per channel to a speaker that has the ability toaccept a bi-wire input. Ha... | |
| What is the best arm for a Linn Soundeck 12 Not very common these days, but my Well Tempered arm works very well on my Linn.The WTA arm is light enough not to bother the suspension of the table andthe benefits of no bearing on the arm are substantial IMHO. | |
| New Guarneri Memento vs. Old Guarneri Homage French fries, I doubt anything is 'seriously wrong at Sonus Faber'. Instead, I suspect that like many Co's in this economy, they decided to do some cost cutting.I would suggest that you try and hear for yourself the differences between the GH and ... | |
| New Guarneri Memento vs. Old Guarneri Homage Semi,I agree that the BAT amps are very nice..BUT I am still curious as to the sizeof the room that you heard the GH's in? Your prior comment that the GH's sounded 'closed in' would indicateto me that there was something very amiss in your set-up ... | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound The sound of a live instrument is IMHO a long way away from what even the best equipment can recreate. As a test of this, i can take my Taylor (acoustic steel string guitar) and play just one note to most any listener, experienced or not, and that... | |
| What speaker cables for vintage equipment Thanks so far for the suggestions. Cutting off the existing spades is not an option, I need the cables for another amp that works well with these.Does anyone know of a company that makes a spade or ? that will fit thebarrier strips and that will a... |
