| Jolida 102B - enough power for Smaller Advents? Matyas, I too just had the speakers lying around. I find them wildly inaccurate- about all they are good for is figuring out if I have the notes right :)Unless you have very modest requirements (very small room, near-field listening, background mu... | |
| Amplifier question for powering Wilson Sophia Richard_stacy, Daryl has told me that also. However if you look at the design the speakers have taken over the years it is apparent that they are favoring tubes over transistors. The Watt is a great example- it has always been known for its 2-ohm/... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner I too have never experienced a 'drift' in VTF. I have 3 arms and they all behave the same way. In fact that has always been one of the nice things that the Triplanar has always been about- set it and forget it.The Phantom seemed a huge improvement... | |
| Amplifier question for powering Wilson Sophia Jtwrace, Wilson has used ARC for many years, and ARC has had Wilson for many years- no secret there! But Wilson's national sale manager used our gear in his own system at home for years also. ARC and Atma-Sphere both can make some power, but are v... | |
| Audio advancement - why? Kijanki, you and I are on the same page! | |
| Amplifier question for powering Wilson Sophia The Wilsons are designed on and for tubes and they are easy to drive. If I were you I would certainly consider broadening your amplifier choices... | |
| Jolida 102B - enough power for Smaller Advents? I run a Dyna ST-70 on the small Advents. I use them as studio monitors in my electronic music lab. I am always out of power! and my room is really small, 9 x 11 feet.If you are planning an amp like that, I would get a set of ZU Druids or the like.... | |
| Audio advancement - why? Kijanki, the difference between audible enhanced even and odd ordered is something like this: with the evens, we start to hear that they are there with about 0.5 to 1%. With the odds, we are well aware of them when they are about 0.0005% or so. Th... | |
| speakers with a "smooth" impedance curve If I can clarify something here- If the speaker was voiced to work with transistors, the smoother impedance curve is going to be a real boon if you are trying to use tubes.If the speaker is designed for tubes, the impedance curve likely will not m... | |
| Audio advancement - why? Milpai, true, we are stuck- for now. Believe it or not I would be the first to jump on the transistor bandwagon if I thought I could do it without sonic sacrifice! | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high I think this is a similar issue that the motorcycle industry had to solve! In the case of shaft drive motorbikes, if they have a simple swingarm for the rear wheel, when power is applied there is what is called "drive shaft jacking" where the rear... | |
| Audio advancement - why? Actually there are transistor amps that do that, but you can count them on one hand with fingers left over. None of them employ global negative feedback- it seems that NF is a design element that has been holding advancements in audio back.So far ... | |
| the perfect tonearm Dertonarm, obfuscations aside, the reason the Triplanar is more precise is because when you set it up, it stays set up and does not require fiddling to keep the azimuth correct. This is a problem for the G2.2 when the LP thickness is varied or if ... | |
| Audio advancement - why? Eldartford, what you say is partially true- the problem is that the distortion signature still enhances odd-ordered harmonics.Milpai, humans *were* able to make advances in audio- and it turns out that tubes are the way to do that- appropriate tec... | |
| the perfect tonearm Well Dertonearm, first there is no Mk8 of the Triplanar...The Mk6 was out about 4-5 years ago. You might well see one for about $2K. FWIW, I don't sell them :) Your respect notwithstanding, the Mk6 ran/runs circles around the G2.2 and does it in a... |
