| Pass X150 is producing "Pop" during power-down few questions:1)Is the amplifier running off some sort of a power strip or power conditioner? If so, run the amp directly from the wall outlet. No power conditioners/strips.2)can you run balanced? Is your rpeamp balanced?3)double-check all conncet... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? 10-02-07: JoeyboynjAudphile1, I dont need to answer your questions...Joey, you already did.I actually don't know why you got so bent out of shape. I obviously struck your nerve with my comments. It is unclear to me how you figured that my comments... | |
| Next on the list for Mahler.... What about Mahler's Symphony No.1 on vinyl. Any idea which version to hunt for? How is this Solti recording? Any good?Thanks for the ideas..... | |
| Anybody Felt Lower-End ARC preamps Bass-Shy? 10-02-07: Reb1208I owned an LS-25 mk1 (6922tubes) Infinicaps for many years. While the bass went fairly low, rhythmic drive/impact was sorely lacking. In relation to what other tube preamp? | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I am sure they get better and better when you go up the line. And their Reference should be better.That's logical. If that wasn't the case, they'd be worthless. I often recommend Tesla Accelerators because I think they are good speaker cables for ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Tesla cables are good. I auditioned the Accelerator speaker cables in my system for several weeks(loaner from CableCo) and liked them, they were good cables especially for the money, but I ultimately purchased other brand cables. There are lots of... | |
| Anybody Felt Lower-End ARC preamps Bass-Shy? Ryder, define enough bass please. Without hearing your system how can anyone know how well bass is reproduced by it?I had an LS-15, the older version with the REL capacitors and it did lack bass impact and drive. I upgraded the caps to TRT Dynamic... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx 10-01-07: Mhelming... Although they may have different outputs into those impedances, stop at 400 the MC402 does not...MhelmingOh yeah? Where does it stop then? At 402?Based on what I heard from this amplifier and its capabilities of driving a dif... | |
| Smooth and silky top end I agree with you it has nothing to do with attenuated top end. Also, with my amplifier I get very good sound of string instruments. Never scratchy.Also, most delicate and extended sound of strings is reproduced with analog gear. How natural the st... | |
| Smooth and silky top end Not an easy question to answer.Just my opinion, but I think it may depend on the design, but I think the design among other factors, is also driven by personal preference for sound(that is why there is a house sound). I have not heard high-end amp... | |
| Interconnects for TT Eagleman6722I am using Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference MkII from Pro-Ject 2Xperience turntable into Pro-Ject Tube Box II phono stage. From there I am using a pair of L1 RCA interconnects from bluejeanscables.com(about 11ft run) and the system sounds... | |
| Tonearms without anti-skate, damage to records? I set AS at a minimum with the Pro-Ject 9C carbon fiber arm on 2Xperience table with Benz Ace. I agree with Mfsoa.....don't like the sight of that weight swinging but I do use AS. I would prefer an arm with other type of AS adjustment without the ... | |
| Is my Esoteric DV-50S a keeper? see if you can swing it for a used Shunyata Hydra 2 or Shunyata Guardian 2 or PS Audio Ultimate Outlet to stay on the cheaper side of power conditioners.....for your pre and cdp. Your Pass amp has built-in protection and AC line filtering and does... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV11...Extreme sibilance, harsh sou Dale, I suggest you either borrow a different preamp same in class as the CJ or take the CJ to check in another system to see if the sibilance problem is there as well.I agree with Maril555 about tube rolling. Applies to cable changes as well. The... | |
| Clarinet Music on vinyl or CDs Carol, thanks again. You know, Wright's playing on Schubert's Shepherd on the Rock is great but I was also impressed with Benita Valente. She has a crystal clear soprano and the blend of her voice with the sound of clarinet is something really spe... |
