| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? Look at all of Fritz’s speakers impedance curves. Absolutely outstanding. I would have to assume that it is due to his exceptional crossover design. It’s also why some people report that his speakers have sounded really good driven by 8 watts. ... | |
| Anthem I225 upgrade @roberjerman, Thanks for the confirmation! Kinki is something I’ve wanted for awhile and would definitely move me emotionally with just the pride of ownership. They seem to do what I am looking for and Nonoise seems to love his and still has his... | |
| Anthem I225 upgrade I should add that I’d prefer to stay with class a/b because of the tonality and punch but could be swayed if you have a strong argument. I’ve looked at sugden A21, Peachtree Nova 300, Nad M3, Musical Fidelity A308, Rogue Tempest II, Kinki EX-M1..... | |
| Rogue Sphinx or Belles Aria??? @valinar , what was the other amp that you liked a wee bit more? | |
| Rogue Sphinx or Belles Aria??? @jackd , interesting that you mentioned the Kinki... I’ve had that on my radar for awhile now, vbefore I had the Carreras.I actually sent out an e-mail to A seller of a Kinki EX-M1 a week ago who resides in Mexico but haven’t heard back yet from h... | |
| Rogue Sphinx or Belles Aria??? Yes, irony. I have heard nothing but good things about the Aria. I have a pair of Fritz Carrera BE’s that I absolutely love and when Fritz caught wind of me wanting to purchase a new integrated amp, Fritz recommended the Aria. After researching... | |
| Rogue Sphinx or Belles Aria??? I’ve actualy heard that the Belles Aria is a horrible amp. If anyone sees one for resale, especially in silver, please pm me so that I can buy it and destroy it as to save someone else from making a horrible decision. Thank you and have a good day. | |
| Minimonitors Fritz Carrera BE’s. I have a pair now and absolutely love them. Sorry to upset anyone but they destroy LS50’s. PBN woud be another good option. Love Pulsars too | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Volume Control? I guess what it comes down to, which is what I am trying to figure out, is if the node 2i’s output at “fixed” is 15db higher than anything else I might connect to my dac, ie a CXC... | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Volume Control? To add, I can tell a 6 db difference on my stock Anthem between rca and xlr but on the modded Anthem it is more like 20db’s... the xlr input sensitivity on the modded unit seems really really high.if I had a cd player with a digi out sitting aroun... | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Volume Control? @djones... I have to lower the gain on the Bluesound 15dbs though.I have a stock Anthem I225 that I have been using and that is back in my rig right now, and have no issues running the Bluesound full volume... 🤷🏼♂️Do you think the bluesound on fi... | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Volume Control? So it def. is a gain issue but I won’t be able to adjust the gain on a different source component, like the CXC for instance.I’ve got to send the Anthem back to the seller. Hopefully it’s not too much of a hassle. It’s too bad because the modded... | |
| Laid back DAC under $800? I recently bought a Gungir Multibit (gen 2 udb, which I don’t use, thats why gen 2 wasn’t a deterrent) for $850.I love it! Great dac. Needs to be left on all the time though. Comes to life, even buying second hand, after it’s been on for 2-3 da... | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Volume Control? @georgehifi Thanks George! So to get deeper into my issue, I just purchased a modified Anthem I225 and may have to return it. It has a modified XLR input.I am using a Bluesound node 2i connected to a Schiit Gungir Mulibit via digital co-ax. Fr... | |
