| Review: Final Laboratories Music 6 Amplifier FF, after almost 6 years of me owning this amplifier, it is good to revisit it. Unlike some amps that I used to own, I still own this piece. It has never failed to deliver a SET rightness, but with more speed and with such of lack of grainness or ... | |
| Recommendation Preamp/Amp for MC Analog Any of the Graham Slee phono preamps in your established used price range will be an eye opening experience. They are seen in the used market and are snagged almost immediately.Moreover, an used MFA-Magus B, an older tubed preamp with a great phon... | |
| Class D amps,bang for your buck ones THat PS Audio HCA-2 was PS audio's first foray into Class D amplification. Although it had garnered some reviews in its early life, it was nothing to write home about as it was summarily dumped into the second hand market once its hype had passed.... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9's Kappa 9s are incredible speakers and a bargain for what one might pay for them today.The brightness issue that has been attributed to them comes with the fact that most people do not have dedicated lines, running the amps that are plugged into the... | |
| Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod Will the DNA125 or the Belles 150 be sufficient to drive the Kappas? I might be wrong, but with the Kappas, the MKI and perhaps the MKIIs, more watts with a large and powerful hi current supply is a must with the amp to be used. The higher the num... | |
| Amplifier Mods SMc is the way to go with DNA mods. Who else but the designer knowing best? | |
| Where to see Audio in Manhattan In Living Stereo, Lyric Hifi....cannot recall any other ones off the top of my head. Stay away from the Stereo Exchange, they have turned into a junk dealer with rooms and rooms of mediocre stereos with unexperienced salesmen. | |
| Audiosector Patek and Taylo Ref Monitors? The crossover network is a major factor in allowing the watts to travel from opchip types of amps to speakers like the Taylo. I wholeheartedly agree with Gmood about the unfeasability of driving these two ways with an opchip based amplifier...For ... | |
| How to expand of line inputs? http://www.audiocubes2.com/brand/Luxman/product/Luxman_AS-4_(III)_Pin_Plug-type_Channel_Selector.html?osCsid=c1e76708af61b644e0e39c34417e239dor the 47 Labs selector....rather expensive but high quality. The Luxman seems decent enough. | |
| Audio Refinement Complete owners: please advise Stay away from tough loads such as those that dip into lower than 6 ohms. Although some people claim that the AR complete can handle something lower than that, I had it running a pair of Gershman X-1 and SW-1 with efficiency 89 DB and lowest imped... | |
| Transformer based passives vs passive stepladder So, Clio, you also find too much gain in some sources, such as CD using the Electra? I find that pseudo passives such as the active First Sound Paramount I use have the same issue. Usually is fine, with LP or Phono preamp through (low gain) but wh... | |

| Need pre-amp help for Kappa 9 & Adcom GFA-555mkii Thanks for the answers Mitch. The price of a pair of Kappa 9s in used condition, is ridiculously affordable, for the type of sound one gets. Have you done other sort of upgrades to the speakers you have? I do remember people talking about rewiring... | |
| Need pre-amp help for Kappa 9 & Adcom GFA-555mkii Damn, that sounds like an overkill, 4 mono Silver 9Ts to control the Kappa 9s. But, I guess if that is what it truly takes, it must sound freaking incredible with those 4 12" woofer hitting you in the chest. I have a question for you, Mitch, how d... | |
| Need pre-amp help for Kappa 9 & Adcom GFA-555mkii Josh, maybe I am simply repeating what some have already mentioned, but the brightness that comes from the Kappas has EVERYTHING to do with amplification issues rather than the preamp. What I have read from some owners, about the harshness issue i... |
