Klipsch Cornwall IV @donsachs , Fascinating report on your crossover upgrades, Don. I’m tempted but don’t really have the skills. You should offer a drop in replacement crossover board! I’d certainly buy it, and I’m sure many others would, too. Just a thought. Well, ... | |
NAT amps - Any thoughts? Thanks for the info, mglik. Good to know the importer is trustworthy. We've only exchanged email. The NAT website indicates that the Single HPS is the only integrated in their stable. Is there another one that's cheaper? MSRP on the Single is more... | |
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming. It was their chance to go 50w class A like the top Accuphase integrated but they whiffed. | |
Amplifier Break-in - It's Real Glad it came around. The Coda is on my list of amps to try. Enjoy! | |
Klipsch Cornwall IV Yes, congrats. Labor well the placement. As with many good speakers, tiny changes make big differences in tonal balance and imaging. | |
Thoughts on Tube vs SS amplification for Sony SS AR1s @sfmorris , Hi Samuel, Here's what I wrote in another thread about the LX-380 soon after I got it: I’ve been playing around with it on PMC IB2i and ADS L1290/2. I’m rather stunned by its quality and versatility.In theory, at 14w into 4 ohms, the ... | |
Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 Reference amplifier? I'm giving this a bump because I'm also interested! | |
Klipsch Cornwall IV Just order them from a place with a 60-day return, and figure to cost of return freight into your long-term investment in the sound you want. This way you’ll really know. That’s what I did. The trial is up next week but I’ll be keeping them, which... | |
Klipsch Cornwall IV I found that putting them on Herbie’s Giant Gliders really evens out the frequency response and cleans up any muddiness in the upper bass and lower mids. Tiny changes in positioning--like a centimeter or less--in any direction also change the soun... | |
Your favorite OCC speaker cable I'm a big fan of OCC. In the past two decades I've owned Harmonic Tech Pro-9, AZ Satori, AZ Hologram II, and, currently, Audio Sensibility Signature. The AS Sig is by far the best of them, IMO. I auditioned some Audio Envy cables a year ago but fo... | |
TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ? That was English. Chaucerian Middle English. You can tell by how it scans, the alliteration and caesura. Get literate! | |
Upscale Audio and Primaluna I'm not an Upscale fan. Apart from the dubious provenance of the rectifier I mentioned earlier (and the even more dubious explanation offered by Kevin), I don't like their Prima Luna hustle. I called recently to ask about some speakers and was pit... | |
Upscale Audio and Primaluna Once I bought a rectifier Kevin advertised as a Holland-made Amperex. He was hyping these tubes at the time as the greatest ever. When I got it I checked the etched factory code on the bottle and guess what, it said it was from Barcelona. So I ema... | |
Should Class A Amps be left on?? If your Class A amp doesn’t have a standby mode, turn it off over night. If it doesn’t sound good enough 30-60 minutes after powering on, or into Class A, get another amp. | |
New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp opinions and experience @bananaslug , thanks for comments. I look forward to hearing more about the UL as it breaks in. I've been torn between trying it and the 40Ref. Nicholas at LTA seems to think the latter would be better for the speakers I have in mind for it, Cornw... |
