| Review: Counterpoint SA-100 Tube amp Thanks J for the update. Very interesting. | |
| Upgraded Counterpoint Hybrid SA-220 Power Amps It is a choke that is filled with oil. | |
| Help me resurrect my AR-90s Before you do anything call Bill LEgall at Miller Sound in PA. 215 412-7700 He knows the speakers well and may be able to fix them or he will know what to replace them with. | |
| WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS? I tired the cheap clock with the power supply in a few CDPs and they made a nice subtle improvement IMO as already stated above. I have not compared the more expensise replacement clocks (ultra clock) to the cheaper ones yet. I found that adding t... | |
| good amp for Maggies? COunterpoint SA-220 is one of the best amps I have heard on Maggies. There are two of the newer versions for sale on Agon now.Happy Listening. | |
| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat OK I now own both the newer modified Bitstream and older Bitstream with Blackgate caps. I also got the Morey James digital cable to try out. Will keep you posted in the near future.Happy Listening. | |
| Upgraded Counterpoint Hybrid SA-220 Power Amps Installed the oil choke and wow! It kills the larger Hammond choke I installed replacing the baisc upgrade smaller Hammond choke. The oil choke made the amp much more musical, better dimensionality, way better tone with more clarity. | |
| Will a Kinergetics KBA 75 amp power Dahlquist DQ10 I own the Alon V MKIIs and the KBA-75 sounds really good with them. They are 87db. I also own a Counterpoint SA-220 that has the new modifications. It also works great with them. They both drive the speakers well and I don't feel the need for more... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio vs Thiel 2.4 You should look at the Alon speakers being sold on Audigon. The model IIs, IVs and Vs are fantastic speakers going for cheap. I heard the early versions of the Adagio spekaers and was not impressed with them. I don't know if they have improved upo... | |
| Looking for speakers Get yourself the Alon Vs or IVs selling so cheap here on the Gon. They do jazz like nothing can plus have the bottom end extension. Very open sounding, image fantastic, slam, dynamics, inner detail and work good with SS and tube amps. Plus you can... | |
| Tube Preamp suggestion for the uninitiated Audible Illusions tube preamps are excellent (you can probably get a new one model 3A for $1200) as well as the old Counterpoints if you can find one cheap. The Rogue 99 is nice with CBS 6SN7 tubes (the tubes are cheap and work great in this pream... | |
| Best Transport with Museatex Bitstream DAC I have a Bitstream tha was updated by John several years ago and will be receiving another Bitream Data II that was just updated by John so I will be able to hear the differences between them. Lucky me? I tired an older Morey James digital cable b... | |
| Upgraded Counterpoint Hybrid SA-220 Power Amps Good to hear from you J, I just purchased an oil choke and will be installing that to see what if any differences I hear. There is also a local guy I know who makes chokes. He has been winding them for 20 years and I may have him build one for me ... | |
| Best $3,000 speaker/amp combo? Used Alon V MKIIs recently sold here for around $1K they cannot be beat at that price. They will work great with the type of music you prefer. | |
| Room size for Alon V MK2 Are you using spikes with the speakers? I found aftermarket spikes did change the sound although I don't use spikes anymore. You may also want to add some polyfill into the cabinet to help the resonance of the bass. |
