2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? I'm using both.Primary 2 channel system with BAT VK50SE, Sony SCD777ES, Sonic Frontiers SFD2-MKII tube dac, into Levinson 33H into Aerial 10t's. 2nd system HT, I'm working on making good 2 channel by passing the Lexicon DC1 through a BAT VK3i tube... | |
OK all you Infinity RS 1A/1B Beta speaker owners.. Well, here's a link to the RS1/1b tech sheet I put up on my website. Please feel free to download it if it may help you.http://www.tiac.net/users/ltm/RS_I_technical_sheet.pdfIt appears there is a variable cap in the signal path from the inputs of ... | |
Preamps in general I have a DC-1, v4. Had it for a while now, and love it for movies. Can't say the same for 2 channel. I use a BAT tubed preamp and it's unity gain pass-thru for two-channel listening on that system. Many folks may be satisfied with the DC-1's 2 cha... | |
Best Kept Speaker Secret? Ok, I'll bite on this one:$4000 +/- 10% Best deal: Infinity IRS Beta, although $4000 is low, but doable depending on seller's desire to move 'em. Problem:Need serious biamping and frontend to sound their best.Aerial 10t. Doable at $4000. A speaker... | |
Can I damage my amp and/or pre amp if I... Yes you can, won't hurt a thing. The way you describe will work just fine. Go from your record uout to the tuner inputs. Good comedy! I know well about "hemorraging" all my money on audio! LOL!beemer | |
Is a deal a deal? Unfortunately there's always going to be the guy who'll cut and run on you when he finds the item for $50 less.I've had good luck here as well as Ebay, course, feedback tells all.A deal is never really a deal until the bank check is in your hand.b... | |
40 feet balanced between preamp and Levinson.... My suggestion would be to watch the used side here and wait for a deal. I did, and bought a 35 foot pair of transparent UltraXL balanced for $800. I thought that I did pretty good! Long cables go through here all the time. | |
Balanced vs RCA preamp output I have numerous true balanced pieces. I have found without exception that they sound best using balanced cables instead of single-ended. Case in point: BAT. I have the VK50SE preamp and the D5SE CD. Another case in point, Levinson, both the 333 an... | |
Infinity IRS Sigma for 2K...Should I do it?? The Sigma tech sheet I have states 87db at 1 watt/meter.Not the highest in efficiency. A good amp 150w/channel+ with high current reserves would probably be best. Plinius comes to mind as a good choice, as would be Classe. If these were a tad more... | |
Aerial Speakers for Music and HT I own 10t's. Prior to purchase I listened to many speakers to an upper limit of about 20K pricewise. I bought the 10t's, which I feel are the greatest value today at their price point. Since purchase I have no regrets. The 10t's are a mirror of th... | |
BAT VK-D5 upgrade I've owned the VKD5, and now own the D5SE. The 24 bit upgrade looses HDCD decoding, so it is out for me, though Viktor says the implementation is good enough that it closed the gap between HDCD and redbook, and perhaps it is so! I personally am ha... | |
Infinity IRS Sigma for 2K...Should I do it?? Hello Danheather:The IRS Epsilon, Sigma, Delta were the last real High-end speakers Infinity made. The newer stuff is good, but lacking the planar implementations. I own IRS Beta, and love them, so I may be a bit biased, however I also have anothe... | |
Magnum or Fanfare Tuner. Which Sounds the Best? I have a FT101A Magnum Dynalab I scored here a while back for $400. Just like new, and sounds great. I haven't heard the Fanfare but most folks who've posted about them are happy as well. I don't think you'll go too far wrong either way. The 101A ... | |
Help needed to make processor decision. Ok, have you considered the new Anthem processor? Balanced outputs and inputs, seems to be reasonably priced. Cannot comment on the sound quality however.Forgive me if I go out on a limb here, but I feel your brightness problem is coming from your... | |
Need speaker cables for Aerial 10T's I have 10t's as well. I've tried speaker cable from MIT, FMS, and Transparent. So far the best sound IMHO has been from the Transparent UltraXL. I'd like to move up to reference at some point. Good luck finding synergy in your system!Paul |
