| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Sorry for the delay Phil, room is 17' wide, 21' long and just short of 9' ceiling. Listening position around 11' from speakers. My system is listed in the Virtual Systems. Here's the thing: I have this thing about clipping, and from posters on her... | |
| Are You Sorbothane Experienced? Terry9,I believe you mentioned in another thread that you used a sticky damping material on your Trans-Fi. Could you please elaborate?Thanks | |
| getting into vinyl It's apparent by your system that you're accustomed to high quality reproduction. It will take some doing and expenditure to equal your present setup. When I got into vinyl about three years ago I decided to wait until the system that I could affo... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Looking to make a major purchase, an amp for my Def 4s. The Black Shadows seem to carry the day for a few users here but I question the power available. When I run the volume up, and I occasionally do, will I ever run into a situation where I have... | |
| Buy Smart Japan Some interesting perspectives here. I had not really considered the Cary 805, and looking at them perhaps they would be a good fit. Whatever the amp, it has to be musical and have good bass. | |
| Buy Smart Japan The product is the Triode Corp TRX-M845 which has garnered pretty good reviews. It's out of my range though. It doesn’t appear to be China cheap and nothing I have read indicates Chinese production. However, often the origin is concealed. I’m hav... | |
| It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp. I have a Zesto Leto just like the one listed here on Audiogon. You can run it balanced or single ended. It's not the euphonic tube pre of vintage make but the company makes first rate electronics. The output impedance stays low so a long run to yo... | |
| Tube rolling and SAC Glowmaster KT88? I'm looking at this company's GM70 PSET amp. The price is right but I would have a huge problem laying out that amount of money and having any noise,[hum] as part of the deal. The PSETs are mono blocks and along with the purchase I may go for thei... | |
| Why Single-Ended? Some one please explain to me how an SET amp can be fully differential. I see some SET amps that are offered as balanced. Could one of you explain the circuitry in the amp that makes the use of XLR connections advantageous? | |
| $5,000 to spend for analog front end - advice please...:) I bought the phono stage first, BAT VK P10SE. Up to around eighty db in high mode. Not dead quiet at the volume I listen but it does deliver some sweet and powerful music. Rock solid bass. Spent 5K more on the tt/cart though. But then I'm a vinyl... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? Vinyl snobs should have a bit more sensitivity towards their compatriots who live in the digital world. My hat goes off to those who continue to improve their digital playback. I would do the same given the time and funds. I guess it comes down to... | |
| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. To all the fortunate posters above, it's great to hear those who picked the right speaker. All different, but each music lover completely satisfied. Zu Def IVs here. Three years in and I walk up those stairs to go to bed after staying up too late,... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? When I dropped for me what was big bucks on a rig. Went with balanced and full range drivers and the detail began to really come through. If I could have gotten CD to sound better I would have been able to sell off the expensive vinyl setup and po... | |
| Is It Safe to Warm Up Power Amps Without Speakers Attached Be glad you asked. | |
| To monoblock or not to monoblock McIntosh MC275's I strapped a pair of MC 275s onto some JBl 250 Pyramids thirty or so years ago. Didn't really help. |
