| 100W, 200W, or 300W? Hi OP,I bought a brand spanking new Mac integrated a long time ago because I had always wanted those blue meters. Turned out it was entirely not the sound I really desired not fit with the speakers I found out I liked.Better to find a dealer who w... | |
| Floorstanding speakers - $2-3K Talk to Ty at Tyler Acoustics. He can set you up with speakers that do not need a monster amp to sound good.Thanks for listening,Dsper | |
| thinking of switching from conrad johnson...... Hi,I run a McCormack DNA 500 which was the only amp that did not weigh more than 100 pounds and could handle my Thiel CS5 speakers dipping to 2 ohms in the bass. Also run it with 8 ohm 88 dbl speakers and no problems there either. Having said tha... | |
| Soundstage gone Iviv, Have you checked the cartridge connections yet?If you do not know how to do it, take it back to the dealer and have them check it. | |
| Bob Carver Crismson 275 Stereo vs. Rogue Stereo 100 Hi, Does anybody else have any more comments about the Crimson 275 amp compared to other tube amps?Thanks for listening,Dsper | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? "Put it all together and you blew it once, and are blowing it again. Just not by as much this time"Well, life is a personal journey....I will probably get into trouble for asking this, but what I want to know is what one hears with a 17 Hz bas... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? Okay Guys, Not to steal the OP's thread but I have what I think is a similar question in the spirit of the thread. My main speakers are Thiel CS5's and we have talked on other threads about how they are a difficult load as they dip close to 2 ohm... | |
| DAC upgrade suggestion I think your system determines what DAC sounds good with it.My Thiel CS5's, yeah they are old speakers, can sound a bit piercing in the treble if one is not careful with equipment matching. I tried several DACs in the $1K to $2K range and they see... | |
| Transport to replace my cd player Think about a used PSAudio Perfectwave transport. I bought used about a year ago and it added detail and more emotion to the music in my system. | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? Probably not in keeping with the general path of this thread but: buying any stereo gear new. Thanks for listening. | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? FWIW, I have been running a Perfect Wave Transport and Theta Pro Basic III DAC. Took me quite a while to get the sound I liked.I had not been playing vinyl for probably two or three years.Anyway, I got my Technics LS1200Mk5 turntable and Audio Te... | |
| A warm DAC? Hi larseand, I run a PWT with an old ladder DAC, a Theta Pro Basic III. This is with either my Prima Luna Dialogue Premium or CJ 17LS2 as the preamp.It replaced a Hegel HD25 and slightly rounded off the occasional sharp edge from my Thiel CS5's.Te... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Paul Desmond "Take Ten" on RCA Dynagroove Mono | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Gary Clark Jr "This Land"Thanks for listening,Dsper | |
| What kind of listener are you? Hi,I started out as an analytical listener trying to find what sounded the best to me.This went on for a while until I realized that I was adding more detail to my system through various equipment upgrades. At some point in this process, I started... |
