| Amps for B&W 805 Diamond: Rogue Audio or Krell, Pass labs, ML, Accuphase @truongv0ky I ran B&W N803 with Pass XA250.5 and Audio Research LS-25 preamp. Great combo. The XA series would work well with the 805s. I think the sound you’re looking for you’ll find with Pass XA-30.8. I had Rogue separates (ST-100 and RP-5... | |
| Zavfino @gladmo renewed our PM chat | |
| Zavfino @gladmo hopefully I won’t need to go thru the entire break in as I picked up a used pair. Just some time to settle. What power cord are you running on your DAC….just curious. | |
| Zavfino @senza I’m waiting on my Arcadia RCAs as well and they’re also for the link between phono stage and preamp. They have an uphill battle against a well broken in pair of BlueJeans RCAs which are surprisingly awesome in that spot. But for the price I... | |
| New amp listening fatigue: Distortion or ?????? I had similar experience with the modded McCormack DNA-225. This was never a problem with this amp prior to having the modifications done. It’s the amp/speaker interaction. Not a good match. I never experienced this again with many amps I’ve owned... | |
| Best interconnects from preamp to amps, within budget 1. BlueJeans 2. Mogami Studio Gold 3. Audience OHNO 4. Zavfino - a lot of good feedback on these pages. I’m about to try their Arcadia between phono stage and preamp. Using BlueJeans there now. | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? @milo0812 don’t forget…look into running all XLRs with new DAC (assuming it’s got balanced out). | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? @milo0812 not sure on dealers in your area. Sorry. I would contact Bricasti with that question. In NJ I believe Verdantaudio may be a dealer for both Bricasti and Weiss. He also posts frequently and had a lengthy thread on shoot out between diffe... | |
| Corpse Cable - Opinions Please Long decay with these cables. | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? Oh and let me throw another DAC suggestion into the mix… Bricasti M3 or M1SE used are within your budget. Find these on a used market with a built in network player and you’re good to go as far as the DAC upgrade is concerned. | |
| Which component to upgrade 1st ? The ML Vantage have a powered woofer. So the panel is pretty much the only thing that presents a challenge to the amp. However, I think you’re fine with the ARC amp driving the MLs. I had the ML Montis and used Rogue ST-100 tube amp mostly in trio... | |
| What is the best non-conditioning surge protector @stevebohnii Not surprised by what you’ve experienced with an amp plugged directly into wall outlet. Just curious what power cords do you use. From the 1200 to the wall and between your components and the 1200? | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? Well @erik_squires posted while I was writing my response. Looks like @erik_squires is also thinking along the same lines. | |
| How to Solve High-Frequency Suckout in Room? How much of a toe in towards your listening position? Where do the tweeter axis cross? Here’s what I’m thinking…it isn’t the wall on the right that’s an issue. It’s the absence of wall on the left that’s causing the highs frequencies to just get ... | |
| Upgrading my Rouge Cronus 11 to what? With that budget you can pick up an awesome integrated. Depending how much power you need. ARC has a nice tube integrated. Also…SS units…Something like Pass Int-250 or Luxman 509 or 590. Next level. Huge step up! And no hassle with tubes. Oh a... |
