| dedicated power line Just to clarify the 15 amp vs 20 amp outlet, it's pretty easy to tell them apart by just looking at the front. Looking at the front of the 15 amp outlet you will see the two vertical slots and the round ground hole. With a 20 amp outlet there is a... | |
| Tonearm cable for VPI Scout JMW9 arm Thanks Stanwal. I've been down that path before many times just not with tonearm cables. My previous table had the cable as part of the arm so there was no changing it. Without getting into the "cables sound different vs cables sound the same" deb... | |
| Downsizing from Ayre MX-R monoblocks The Edge G3 is one of my favorite SS integrateds. Really floated images nicely particularly vocals, though I do not have first hand knowledge of synergy with Sonus Faber. I used with Mini Utopias with great success but ultimately preferred tubes, ... | |
| Tube amp to drive Tyler Decade D1's? I have been using the 50 watt Mystere integrated (KT88's) with the D2's for several days now and the sound is beautiful but I think the D2's really benefit from an amp that can take control of the woofers. I liked the Mystere on previous speakers ... | |
| Tube amp to drive Tyler Decade D1's? I have D2's arriving this weekend or early next week from Ty. I am currently selling a Mystere ia21 integrated (50 watts with KT88's) but am going to hold off on selling it until I have had a chance to try this amp with the D2's. D2's are 88 dB vs... | |
| Definitive Technology Mythos STS floorstanders I must have overlooked your room dimensions but personally I think 16'x10' may be a little too tight for the STS's, not sure though as I have not tried them in a room that size. In my living room home theatre system the bass control was set betwee... | |
| Definitive Technology Mythos STS floorstanders I also own STS's and purchased them primarily for home theatre purposes but have found them to be really good for music as well. Even though these are considered "lifestyle" speakers the same care is required in set up as any multi kilobuck "audio... | |
| Seas Excel Magnesium Drivers - Warm Sounding? StanwalThanks for your comments. I think your last sentence is basically my question but you said it better. I'm looking for comments from people that have this driver in their speakers. For example I know Joseph Audio uses the Seas Excel in many ... | |
| using high end speakers wit integrated recievers Normally I would totally agree with the previous posters on this one but recently I have had first hand experience similar to what you are asking. I have been using a Pioneer Elite sc-27 receiver which is the big brother of the receiver you mentio... | |
| A/V Receivers with Ethernet Connection Question That's pretty much what I concluded, that I would just stream with an airport express especially since I have an ipod touch that I can use as a remote. I just thought it would have been kind of cool to hook straight into an A/V receiver and be don... | |
| A/V Receivers with Ethernet Connection Question Thanks for your input on this. I did finally get a reply from Denon:"Unfortunately, since iTunes is not a music server, there is no streaming from iTunes to the receiver over the network. Apple makes devices that they stream to which can connect t... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe I've been using my Minis with a Mystere ia21 integrated amp with 50 watts and love the sound. Very robust and dynamic. I've used both the Mac MA2275 tubed integrated and the Mystere and have found tubes to be great with the minis, or at least the ... | |
| What amplification is best for JMLab Mini Utopias Atmasphere is completely right about the Mini Utopias being tube friendly. I have owned Mini's for about 4 years now and have used with a variety of integrated amps, both tube and solid state. I wrote a review here on Audigon of four integrated am... | |
| Will a DAC drastically improve Apple TV? I just recently added an Apple TV to my system and a PS Audio Digital Link III with level IV Cullen mod both connected with an Audioquest Optilink 5 toslink cable. I have been really surprised with the sonic results. I would say the combination ha... | |
| Mystere ia21 Integrated Tube Amp ??? I wrote a review of the Mystere ia21 here on Audiogon and compaed it to a number of other integrated amps I have owned over the past few years.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ramps&1229402153 |
