| Amp recommendations for Spendor The D7.2 are not too big for your room, I had the D7 for a while in a similar room and they sounded fantastic. I used a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II tube integrated and would greatly recommend using a high powered tube amp with the Spendors. The S... | |
| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) Not a fan of the sound of the Focal Kanta and if you must McIntosh or Luxman Class A would be my amplifier of choice. I like the Klipsch Forte and Cornwall but do not love them because they have too much cabinet coloration that mucks up midrange v... | |
| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) @adversam no matter how you slice it you have a large room with an amp that clips at 80 watts / 8 ohms. An excellent amp but you will best be served with more efficient speakers. The Volti Razz is the best match according to your list in terms... | |
| Cartridges for Rega Tables Hana are 16mm to the tip of the stylus. Dynavector 17DX3 is 15.8mm and an excellent sounding cartridge. | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING something is drastically wrong. the Delos is an exceptional sounding cartridge and is not at all bright or shrill.if you tried loading at 200 ohms, make sure the VTF is dead on 1.75 grams and your headshell is perfectly level to the platter when ... | |
| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) did you listen to those speakers with your amp? the XA25 is not a powerhouse for bass. Most of the speakers you mentioned are not a good match for your amplifier, especially if bass is your priority. Give the Volti Razz a listen, very good sens... | |
| 100 watts enough? you should be fine with your limited listening levels and expectations but your speakers with dual 12" woofers deserve so much more and would reward you immensely. | |
| Stacking gear no more rack space does it affect sound quality sometimes you have to do what you have to do. electronics cases are stronger than you think. at the market you wouldn't put canned goods on top of bread so a little common sense stacking components goes a long way.make sure to never cover any ve... | |
| Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth The Razz is a nice sounding dynamic speaker and will not be overkill for your room. Your amplifier complements them perfectly.They improve greatly over the current Klipsch Heritage sound because Volti has done an amazing job at controlling cabine... | |
| Cartridges for Rega Tables OP if you are using a Lyra Kleos on a Rega arm without VTA spacers you are wasting it. The Rega cartridges are 14mm from base to stylus tip. Hana have some 16mm cartridges. | |
| Cartridges for Rega Tables @racedoc it doesn't look like those Excalibur cartridges have the Rega three point mounting system or the 14mm height of Rega catridges. What about them is Rega specific? | |
| Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions? I am a big fan of the Harbeth sounds and would recommend a set of C7ES3. They will sound more natural, more refined, have better vocal imaging and presence, better instrument recognition and a larger sound stage than any of the MA Silver series. | |
| Rogue Rap-1 to RP-5 @audphile1 i ran the RH 5 with the Stereo 100 (great pairing) and also the Parasound a21+. I preferred the sound of the Stereo 100 overall, especially bass and dynamics. | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? never tried upgraded fuses. | |
| Rogue Audio Stereo 100, Atlas Magnum III anybody running them? Sound signatures? again, get the RH 5 linestage headphone amp with optional phono for the Stereo 100 |
