| Transmission line speakers! I had pair of Spendor D7 which uses a quasi-transmission line bottom firing port. The bass and sub-bass was so deep and effortless, a speaker with very special bass. It improves the efficiency of bass response and makes them easier to position.... | |
| FEDEX keeps destroying my New CARY 805RS Monoblocks - What can I do to prevent Nightmare? didn't read the entire thread so sorry if this has been mentioned- get a fedex account online and when cary ships re-route the package to a fedex full service location near you. then drive there and pick it up. the extra handling after it arriv... | |
| Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos the carver looks lightweight to me, missing the bank of large power supply capacitors that the best sounding amplifiers have. look at the chassis of the rogue audio stereo 100 or atlas magnum. the stereo 100 has a huge sound. | |
| Best CD player from this list I heard the cambridge 851C several years ago and it sounded magical. i loved it. better than my marantz sa8005 which is a classic. highly recommended. | |
| Sony SACD Player SCD-XA5400ES; YAY or NAY? I demoed a used sony at a local dealer several years ago and wanted to buy it. It sounded smooth but bland and lacked detail, dynamics and presence. a mid line marantz player sounded better to my years. i wound up purchasing the marantz sa8... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music You definitely were on the right track by avoiding boost and cutting the peaks. Just curious how close your speakers are placed near the walls? I am not a total sub fiend but even though my mains go to 45Hz as measured, the two REL T9i I hav... | |
| Zephyr MIMC vs Hana ML Sharing some thread relevant cartridge experiences- Had an original ART9, loved it to death. huge value. Ortofon Cadenza Blue was a significant upgrade in most, but not all areas. Bigger sound and dynamics but the ART9 was more colorful and r... | |
| Best AMP for GE Triton Reference Speakers @jpeters568 I heard these speakers a few times at different dealers and at the AXPONA audio show chatting with Mr. Gross. By far the best sound (and the only time I actually liked their sound) was at AXPONA driven by a PrimLuna EVO 400 tube amp... | |
| Rogue Audio Atlas Magnum III Power Amplifier I noticed minimal to no difference running the ST 100 in triode with my Harbeth speakers. seems to be mirrored by other Stereo 100 users. Stick to ultralinear. | |
| Rogue Audio Atlas Magnum III Power Amplifier @couger4u I owned the Rogue Cronus Magnum II for several years (Atlas amp section). Then I upgraded to a Rogue pre and Stereo 100 amp. The Stereo 100 felt and sounded like twice the amp of the Atlas regardless of wattage spec. Sounded on ... | |
| Rogue Audio Atlas Magnum III Power Amplifier Your speakers have 3-ohm impedance in the midbass region. While they may sound god with the Atlas at moderate volume, the 3-ohm midbass region will tax the amp such that above moderate levels midbass will run out of steam. Can you stretch to... | |
| Are tubes psychological? None | |
| When to Amp it Up? Better amplifiers have sounded better in my system and not necessarily related to power. Latest example I went from a well regarded high powered newer amplifier to an extremely well regarded amplifier with much lower power. The sound was mor... | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? Interconnects- significant positive changes. Speaker cables- less significant positive changes. Fuses- no changes. Power cables- less significant negative changes. | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? FYI here is my neutrik adapter using the XLR cable from preamp, in this case neutrik female to male RCA. In the OP's case he would use a female XLR to female RCA at the preamp. |
