| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Charles,I am using JPS AC+ power cables on my Frankensteins and Coincident Statement Linestage. I only have one SR Black cable at the moment, which I am using on my dac. I might try it on the CSLS, but for now I am really enjoying the improvement ... | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. The Black 10 gauge power cord arrived last week and it is a significant upgrade over my old JPS Digital cable. I am using the Black on my dac. Switching back and forth between the power cables, I can hear a clear difference in the quality and quan... | |
| What is the "sound" dif. between a Joule -Elctra OTL and a SET amp?? Ralph, If the OP were to limit responses to only those with experience with Wyetech and JE, crickets would be chirping. The OP's post is titled "What is the "sound" dif. between a Joule -Elctra OTL and a SET amp??" I responded in accordance to... | |
| What is the "sound" dif. between a Joule -Elctra OTL and a SET amp?? Fluffers,I happened to like playing with the feedback feature of my amp to tailor the sound. Jud Barber recommended something around the 6-8 o'clock position for my particular amp. He has very good ears. You can dial it down if you want more trans... | |
| What is the "sound" dif. between a Joule -Elctra OTL and a SET amp?? Charles,As for emotional involvement, they are just two different flavors. With either amp, I could listen for hours at a time and feel emotionally involved. If I can close my eyes and imagine being at the Blackhawk nightclub, or some other venue,... | |
| What is the "sound" dif. between a Joule -Elctra OTL and a SET amp?? As for MKIV versus MKV, I believe it has to do with the use and implementation of circuit boards. I would call Rich at Signature Sound. He would know the answer. | |
| What is the "sound" dif. between a Joule -Elctra OTL and a SET amp?? I am not familiar with your Wyetech amp, but I owned a Joule Electra OTL amp and SET monoblock amps at the same time. The Joule was a VZN-80 MKV, Musicwood edition. The SET amps are a pair of Coincident 300b Frankensteins. I had both of these amp... | |
| Help...hum issue with new preamp Did you take a look at the insides? When my Supratek Cortese was shipped to me it arrived with a loose wire to the phono stage. When I sold it, the buyer received it with a loose part in the power supply. Both issues were fixed easily. It was a gr... | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought My Meridian surround sound system, with processor, separate amp, and dsp speakers. I could never get it to sound nearly as good as my 2 channel system. I got better results with a Marantz receiver and non-Meridian speakers, at 10% of the cost. I w... | |

| What's the best Sony CD/SACD player? jafant, you are welcome! | |
| What's the best Sony CD/SACD player? I have a stock Sony XA5400ES. I have owned it for 5 years and love it. It takes a long time to break in. I would be skeptical about any descriptions of the sound from owners who gave their impressions after just purchasing the player. After 500 ho... | |
| Frankensteins or Audio Note Kit 300b Mattzack2, I looked up the specs for your speakers. They are rated at 89.5 dB sensitivity and 4 ohms nominal impedance. I tried my Frankensteins with a pair of speakers that I owned that are rated at 89 dB and 8 ohms (never going below 6.5 ohms). ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in DAC's these days? Yamamoto YDA-02. $350 plus $30 shipping from 2Juki. It only plays up to 96kHz, no dsd. It only has a usb input.I bought one a couple months ago. I'm using it with a Mac Mini. It is my first foray into computer audio. I have no other experience wit... | |
| Cary 805 vs v12 I owned the 805AE and the V12R at the same time and was able to compare them. I had Quad ESL-988 speakers. The 805AE did not work very well with them. The amp was dull and lifeless compared to my V12R. Although the 805AE is rated at 50 watts a cha... |
