| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k Jmcg- yes, re: the Pass, I don't believe the XA-60 is balanced, but I could be wrong- I only know the newer XA-30.5 is. Belles MB-01? Hmmm- any writeups on this one? As for the VTL 450- I am sure the newer version would be mucho denaro $$$! You ha... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k Cyto- thanks for the thorough comments/comparisons- didn't realize the VTL amps run their tubes that conservatively- a good thing. Question- you indicate the 'new' VTL450 signature has computer-controlled biasing. If one is buying these used, how ... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k Tvad- have you heard the Lamm's up against the Belles? If not, regardless of the comparison, what are your sonic impression of the Lamm 1.1/1.2 amps? I think my buddy got his Lamm 1.1 monos for just over $7k USD used- from what I understand a good... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k well guys- just got home from the gym, and listening to one of my fav's- Pharoah Sanders Quartet's (what a great tenor sax player) double-disc 'Crescent with Love' on my 2nd system (47 labs digital; recently acquired Air Tight ATC-2 preamp- talk a... | |
| Rich; organic true balanced amp w good detail $6k great ideas so far guys- I think we on the same pageJohn (Jmcgrogan2)- what are you using for speakers; preamp; and what is the size of your listening room? Also- have always been curiuous about the '2' after your Agon name- was there ANOTHER Jmcg... | |
| XLO Signature S2-2.2 Balanced Interconnect Jmc- what are you using for power cords currently? | |
| I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners The Topaz is a truly great amplifier, however I, and my buddy Chris (Nutella) ultimately got rid of it due to (our opinion of course) lack of emotional connection to the music, no matter what preamp; IC's; etc. Also compared it to many other tube ... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monos re: Atma-sphere- concerned about heat and hot tubes exposed (have 2-yr old running around in that same room). Dopogue- in fact, have tried 845's before in the system, and liked them very much. A local guy has a set of J.C Verdier 845 monoblocks th... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monos Guys- great responses- thanks. Speakers are 97 db 14-ohm Coincident 'Victory' model with Ribbon tweeter. On paper, you may be thinking even SET, but them seem to like more power, and my room is HUGE open concept. Preamp is modded Sonic Frontiers L... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... Anyone compared Nuforce to Audiosector Patek chip amps? I have the Pateks (running them XLR bridged), and have found them quite pleasing, with many of the attributes I am reading about in this thread (they are the SS amps 6Moons likes) | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monos Tpsonic- thanks for the feedback- I actually had the ATM-3 monoblocks in my place as well for a quick session (I have also owned the ATM-4). Very 'full' sounding, but perhaps not as 'fast' as other amps I have tried- truly, I don't think I gave th... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... I tried the Bel Canto Ref-1000's in my system, and found the same thing as Lngbruno below- my FM tuner went crazy, and the television was snowy on certain channels. Has anyone found these issues with Nuforce?07-13-07: LngbrunoSo what about my ques... | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End Great advice from Cyto- also agree 110% with sc53- bought my Ensemble Isolinks years ago, and for digital front-end only, I have not found better. However- note- I had some small issues when 'daisy-chaining' them into a larger blaanced power unit ... | |
| Placette well, not to go against the tide here, but I was underwhelmed by the Placette Passive- and this was in a system with Wyetech Topaz Monoblocks. It was clean and clear, however for me anyway, lacked the harmonic texture and body I have heard in othe... |
