| Yeah baby....I found a mate Ach! another Tannoy DMT user! glad to see them in your system. I have the DMT-10s myself. Aren't they just excellent speakers? probably out-do most other speakers in the market, n'cest pas? | |
| Tube rolling for Jolida 502B Well, I have the older 502A. It's heavily modified (see my bedroom system thru the "System" link).I still use the stock "winged-C" 6550 tubes & like the overall sound.The 12AX7 is a Mullard NOS & the 12AT7 is a RCA NOS. I'm very happy w/ t... | |
| Do I need power conditioning got to ask the same question as Vmpsbk: what do YOU mean when you say "it loses its magic"?Also remember that AC power is cleaner @ night when everyone/most people retire to bed. Businesses are closed, people are not using appliances, etc, etc &am... | |
| BAT's house sound Pbb,mind out of the gutter, young man! :-)mind out of the gutter!.... :-) | |
| Wadia direct into amp, Sound a bit too lean?? i have also found that running my Wadia 861 thru my tube pre is much better than running directly into amp. I do not think that Wadia's digital volume is anything to write home about. It does the job of attenuating the sound but i personally do no... | |
| How do the Merlin TSM compare to other speakers Ach! Intuitively I can see (perhaps) what might be going on: high Q speaker + high damping factor power amp => too much of a good thing in that the amp is great at controlling the woofer that has already been damped by the speaker cabinet. So, ... | |
| How do the Merlin TSM compare to other speakers Sorry to hear about your loss, Bobby. Hope that your wife & you find the strength to cope with it.I'm not a Merlin owner but I feel that I own a speaker that has a similar signature to the Merlin & possibly uses the same or similar tweeter... | |
| BAT vs. Quicksilver good thing that I hang out in this sub-forum regularly 'cuz I had a very poor image of Quicksilver. I always thought that this was wanna-be audio gear. I've learnt that I'm mistaken & if I chose correctly I can actually get pretty damn good so... | |
| what is "unity gain" ? hey Mike,I went to the BAT website http://www.balanced.com. Then click on "resources" then click on "manuals". On that long list, you'll see a manual for the VK-30. It's in PDF format. At the bottom on Page 13 & continuing on Page 14 you'll se... | |
| What happened to the loudness control? No, I do not miss the "loudness" button nor do I miss the tone controls in my ref system.(I do have both in my HT & bedroom AV receivers! My HT receiver has a "direct" button allowing me to bypass loudness, bass & treble boosts).Loudness b... | |
| A Step Up to Common STEP UP Transformer....... Abe,i, too, have amorphous core xformers (Lundahl, which are Swedish) & I really like them. They are dimunitive in size (PCB mounted i.e. w/o flying leeds) but their sound is anything but dimunitive! Very natural is what I'd call it. No regret... | |
| Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue? i'm NOT assuming anything here :-) & I think Onhwy61 & Timf are on the correct path:- Vertigo, what's your definition of listener's fatigue? & what symptoms are your experiencing? The suggestions depend on your answer.(I did own the B&... | |
| Speaker Stands Filled With Kitty Litter? TRUE??? yes, I have my Lovan Jazz speaker stands filled w/ kitty litter (which, as Albert correctly pointed out, is ground clay). the speaker stands are (acoustically) dead to the knuckle rap test. I have my Tannoy DMT-10 monitors sitting on these stands ... | |
| Convergent Audio Preamps Artg,the input linestage tubes in position V6, V7 are more important than the V10 position of the 6922. So, try the pinched waist 6922 in those positions 1st. FWIW. | |
| VTL vs Jolida This post addresses "Angelsmtn" post more than anything else:-Well, I have not heard VTL amps thus far so I cannot say how a JoLida would sound vs. a VTL. However, I do own the 502A stereo power amp which is rated @ 60W/ch. It's an inexpensive pow... |
