| 8 ohm nominal impedance/4.69 ohm minimal impedance--is this a bad load (on paper)? +1erik. The minimal drop of 4.7 ohms is not unusual for a 8ohm nominal speaker. | |
| Starting Over and I need your help Glad to hear. Thanks for the feedback. | |
| Speaker candidates/suggestions I own the Fritz Carbons you are considering. A very easy to drive speaker. You get a home trial period. Give the owner a call. With either amp you own they would be provided plenty of power. I would think the class A Sudgen could throw a party... | |
| Starting Over and I need your help I believe the Tidal subscription will improve your streaming over the Apple Airplay. I use streaming for background music and discovery of new music. Once found I purchase the CD. Therefore my recommendations of 6/20. Again, good luck on your q... | |
| Starting Over and I need your help I agree with much that has been aforementioned. If speakers please you build around them. They are not a difficult load therefor offering many choices toward amplification. I would 1st purchase a line level integrated amplifier at 50-100wpc. Aft... | |
| Help with high end bookshelf speakers Well, given budget limit of 5K, I would encourage you to research Fritz speakers. You have been given a couple references for these speakers herein making mine the 3rd. I own the Carbon 7 SE MKII. They sell for $2800 and sold manufacturer direct ... | |
| Selling, donating or giving away a good pair of vintage speakers Nicely done! | |
| What sort of upgrade from Rega Brio to go with my Dynaudio's X12? I believe you are the right path upgrading your amplifier for the X12s. I have heard and truly like them. At a budget of 'up to 2K' you can do much better than the Yammy 801 in my opinion. What sources are you using? | |
| Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC @lancelock Thanks! I'm using a Aric Audio Super 6SN7 pre with a Pass XA-25. I currently have a Audio Mirror Tubadour III DAC and am interested in the Areo. | |
| Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC @lancelock What preamp and amp are you using? | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? Well, after running through this old thread, I again realize why I so miss AL. | |
| Tube preamp for my Bryston 7B3 I own an Aric Audio Super 6SN7 preamp and also one of his amplifiers. . Cost of the Super is ~$4000. Aric has a great website and is great to deal with. His tube preamps have a low output impedance and variable gain .He uses high end parts and ca... | |
| Not sure what to think I having a difficult time understanding the fact that you heard no differences. Two things I would do prior to making any equipment purchases are: 1) treat the room (Your producer friend may help with this) and have your 40+ year old speakers te... | |
| Quandary The demo cost is $300 and not of the amplifier being proposed for your speakers. This when you were not considering a change in amplifier until a salesman suggested it. Not worth it in my opinion. If you were interested in trying a Pass amplifie... | |
| Looking for comparisons between CD transports I own the Jay's but if it was out of my budget I would have tried the Shanling ET3.I wanted a top loader. |
