| Best player with quad 12L active monitors Another vote for the Quad CDP. I had one and miss it. | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? Spectron Musician 2s drove my Apogees like a champ. | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 If you mod a Denon 3910 by one of the modders like Modwright or Apl you will get a far superior sound to the stock Marantz. It also has top notch video. | |
| Joule vzn 80 or 100 for merlins? I have 30 watt Dehavilland monos driving my Merlin VSM MM speakers and am more than happy. Plays much louder than I care to listen to. Even without cranking it up my wife is always screaming at me to turn it down. | |
| Behringer as DAC? If you dont want to use the DACs in the Behringer and you place it between the cd player and the preamp using the analog input then you are not using the DACs in the Behringer. Is this correct? | |
| Why not more on 845 SETs? The plate dissipation of 845M metal plate is lower than the graphite plate 845. I would contact BelCanto to make sure that the amp plate dissipation is within the range for the Grid Bias Circuit. | |
| recipe for seasoning power cords Sound more like a recipe for ruining the refrigerator. But some of the power cords people buy seem to cost more than the average refrigerator. I guess a refrigerator is a small price to pay for a nice well conditioned expensive power cord. | |
| krell & merlin what next? My Merlins sound great driven by a pair of Dehavilland 845Gs. A couple of dealers that I talked to who carry both the Dehavs and the Joules recommended the Dehavs with the Merlins. | |
| Merlin speaker/cable combinations? I needed a long run for my Merlins and couldn't afford the Cardas and Audience so I tried a few cheaper ones and ended up with the River Cable Flexgy 6. Mellow with a lot of detail. Great for SS. Inexpensive enough that you can buy it and sell it ... | |
| Why not more on 845 SETs? As you go from the standard 845 to the 845B to the 845M the sound gets smoother with more detail and texture in the midrange. The presentation gets darker and more relaxed. It is a matter of preference. I would recommend atleast the 845B. I think ... | |
| Why not more on 845 SETs? 1. There is the standard 845 tubes2. There is the 845B tubes which are supposed to sound better than the standard 845 tubes3. There is the 845M or metal plate. It seems the production of these may have stopped till modifications are made. Be caref... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - wow If I wanted to use the DACs in my CDP then would I be using the pass thru. How would I connect this? Would it come between the CDP and the preamp? In that case am I using the DACs in the Behringer? | |
| Help decision TRL GT-200/Cary Cad 211 Anniversay I second the Dehav 845G. I have a pair and they have more than enough power to drive my 89db speakers to loud levels and are incredibly realistic and dynamic to boot. Better bass than my SS Cary amp and the treble is crystal clear. If you need mor... | |
| Any comments on Eastsound CD-E5? Not very common in the US but it has received good reviews in European forums | |
| Give me your best amp pair up with VSA DB99's I third the Dehavs. I have a pair and they are fabulous. |
