| Ansuz EBM you should listen to the Ansuz especially the D-TC. I think you would be very impressed with the Magico's. | |
| Ansuz 35K for a power cord? The full list on a 2M D-TC power cord is 20K in US dollars. Have you heard it let alone compare it? | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se The KT120's were standard with the V110 when I got mine. Higher plate voltage and higher grid voltages made the for extra 40W. Other than that it was made off the V70se chassis with a switch to select the higher voltages. | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se Congrats Dan - Did the V110 have the KT120's. I thought the V110 was punchy boomy and not as refined. But like I had mentioned the KT120's were the culprit. By the time I got it I already had many different output tubes. Which tubes came with the ... | |
| high frequency intermittent noise James check out this video especially parts 1 and 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=Y3RNnm8s3nQIf you have a Raidho/Ansuz/Aavik dealer nearby and ask if you can have an in home demo. Although I don’t have any electrical proble... | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se Dan those prices may be euro's. Right before I traded in my V110 Octave dropped its pricing about 1000 to reflect the drop in the euro. So add approx 1.18% for USDI did find this with Google but I don't see a datehttp://www.music2.nl/octave-audio-... | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se No I don't. I think another thing that has to brought up is the protection the Octave has to offer and soft start circuitry. It's second to none IMO. I had a few tubes 'arc over' and NO damage to any circuitry. Biasing tubes is very easy too. If I... | |
| Octave v70se OR v80se Both the V70se and V80se are excellent IA's. I used to own a V70se and later the V110 with the black box. I also had Dyn C1's and later the Signatures. I had an in-home demo of the V40se for a week. As you move up the line there is a bit more cont... | |
| How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ? Well for me the TS 6550 bp has the same glorious mids as the EL34's but adds a hair of warmth and has the lows EL34's don't have besides more power. I felt the EAT KT88 has the most linear sound from top to bottom along with the original KR Audio ... | |
| Let's talk power cords @willemj - Have you personally tried after market power cords on your system? | |
| How expensive are best NOS tubes ? And how difficult to find ? When I had an Octave V70se and later the V110 I tried a lot of different input - splitter and power tubes. I always preferred the sound of vintage/out of production tubes. With some the difference in sound was huge and in others not so much. As f... | |
| $3000 Speaker Search I know you mentioned floor standers but if you have the opportunity to demo the new Dyn S40's (stand mount) you may be very surprised how big they sound for being a monitor. MSRP for the S40 is 3K but not sure what the stand6 retails for. I had Dy... | |
| DYNAUDIO C4 VS B&W 800 D3 I disagree with Todd regarding toe in for Dyn's. For the best sound stage and imaging you would want little to no toe in. Dyn tweeters have a very wide dispersion. I had demoed C2's in my home (still to big) but found they sounded best to me with ... | |
| DYNAUDIO C4 VS B&W 800 D3 I'm from the camp that get the speaker first. They all have a general 'house' sound. Find the sound that suits you the best. Then worry about an amp to help refine the sound. IMO both the B&W and Dynaudio are fine speakers but very different s... | |
| Blue Fuse for Primare Pre32 Never tried that. |
