| Esoteric A-100 vs a03 Pani,I have an Ayon Triton 1 integrated amp and like it a lot. It's 125WPC pentode, 80WPC triode; Class A operation with no negative feedback. Uses KT88 tubes. If that sounds like enough power for you there's one listed now but with about 18 hours... | |
| Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most? I'll follow Charles' lead and claim a photo finish between my Ayon Triton amp and the Duelund CAST caps in my speaker crossover. I believe both are significantly helping provide the clearest and most holographic soundstage of any system I've ever ... | |
| merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ? Masilu,Your idea about using the second out loop on your CD player would seem to be on the right track as your goal is to connect the sub in such a way that it operates independently from the BAM. Other options are to drive the sub either from you... | |
| merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ? Masilu,I am certainly no expert in the functioning of the BAM module but from what I was reading on Bobby's website I don't know why it would pose any particular challenges for integrating a sub into your system, and it may make it easier for all ... | |
| merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ? Masilu,I used to use small speakers in my listening room but in order to build up a satisfying sound pressure level I would have to play the system louder than what I might prefer for a given listening session. By adding a sub I could develop a pl... | |
| Why so little discussion about Snell ? I owned a pair of Snell E-II for about twenty years and loved every minute with them. They were a part of my first steps into higher-end audio... built, voiced and sold as a matched pair; and with a +- 1.75dB rating, pretty accurate. They were the... | |
| Mini-monitors $5,000 - $10,000 I'd audition the Silverline SR17 Supreme. | |
| merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ? Bobby,My pleasure, and I know you'll be able to help.All the best,John | |
| ARE YOU AN AUDIOPHILE? - FOR THE LOVE OF SOUND Done. | |
| merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ? Masilu,What attribute of music reproduction is missing that is preventing you from enjoying your speakers? If it is the bass then perhaps a subwoofer might be beneficial. I do not own Merlin speakers but my listening room is similar in size to you... | |
| The best preamp for Rouge M-180 Nr9,I've heard neither brand of the amps you are contemplating, but of the two my curiosity would take me in the Pass Labs direction, that is, if I were considering solid state.Cheers,John | |
| Ayon Dealers Just curious, what components for your system are you considering? | |
| Airtight ATM-3 Monoblock Pablo,I do not have direct experience biasing the ATM-3 but from what Ive read it should be an easy processes. This paragraph was from an online review I found:Bias adjustments are pretty cool: a small rectangle faceplate on the front bearing the... | |
| Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode Moofoo,Thank you too for your kind comments. Regardless of how you end up configuring your system I hope it brings you many hours of happy listening.John | |
| Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode Moofoo,I agree with Charles and wouldn't hesitate to suggest that you try them out for yourself and see if they work with your system. At the time I tried them I was using some capacitors in my speaker crossover that I had found to be very sensiti... |
