| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it I still play my Nak BX-300, bought new in 1985, and it sounds terrific. Have fun! | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? I’ll add that other mats I like are the Sakura graphite "The Mat" and the thicker Funkfirm Acromat. The former is laudably neutral although less dynamic and immediate on transients than the TTM; the latter has excellent dynamics, similar in that r... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? I have the TTM mat (thanks to Albert) and matching Oil Damped Stabilizer for my SP10R, and I bought the Micro CU-180 to compare. IMO, there’s no comparison. I found the Micro to sound colored and slow by comparison, so it quickly departed. | |
| New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp opinions and experience @bananaslug , I'm curious what you think about the LTA Ultralinear compared to your Eaton 2A3 amp on your LaScala. I'm running a 2A3 amp on Cornwall IV. While the sound is wonderful at lower volumes it runs out of gas a bit when I turn it up. The ... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @dbarger Look at the variety of amps people are using on these! I just ordered a Kingko KA101Pro, 12 bargain watts of EL84 push-pull goodness out of Hong Kong. Should be fun! I guess this means the Cornwalls are staying :). | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @simao , yes, as jayrossi said, Moth Audio has been closed for many years. It was a quixotic partnership (literally, out of Hollywood), ultimately unsustainable, that produced great sounding amp-art that looked retro-futuristic and fantastic, like... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Oh, it's always in use in one of my other systems, continually since 1999! :) Like yours, it is absolute dead quiet, too, even with headphones. Great little amp. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Thanks. That's a pretty big space, roughly similar to mine. I found my Moth S2A3 to sound wonderful at low volume--the best of any of my amps--but it started to soften on the bottom and strain on top before I felt the room pressurize. Didn't clip,... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Encouraging report. What are your room dimensions? Are you using a subwoofer? | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @dbarger , thanks for the details. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Thanks, dbarger. Very interesting.You have some nice amps! How would you compare those big Luxman separates to the LM-845 Premium? The latter has been on my radar for a while, though my reduction in racks from 4 to 3 to accommodate the girth of th... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Uh, I do get it. This volume control was an AVC passive. My comment about position on the volume control was figurative, intending simply to illustrate distortion well before max wattage. Apologies for the unclear communication. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV SET can use about 20-25% before distortion is a problem Yes, the 2A3 amp was straining audibly by halfway on the volume control. Pity. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Revisiting some of my amps with the CW4, after further tweaking speaker positioning and placing them on some Herbie’s gliders, I have to agree with @ozzy62 : high-quality lower wattage can drive them beautifully. The 18w Luxman integrated is sound... | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated @jjss49 jadis in its heyday was well known to run power tubes very hard, seems like that is still the case That's good to know, and would help explain why hsw went through KT150s in six months. |
