| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Hi Rocky, I bought the Yamy unheard from japan and it was the best hi-fi purchase i've made. Its super well constructed and looks much better in the flesh than the piccys let on.As you no-doubt have picked up, Speaker matching is vital. (I run AVG... | |
| Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim) Normally I'd say that i'm ambivolent in this....... but I've had my A-08s a couple of months now and it is a thing of beauty. Gotta Love that cherry wood. | |
| Avantgarde Duo set up. Thanks Whart, I'll give it a go tonight and see what happens. | |
| Avantgarde Duo set up. Triode, I've just been revisiting this thread and I'm interested in your "Be sure to reverse tweeter polarity" comment. I plug my speaker cables into the lower teminals on the tweeter. Should I plug the positive into the negative and Visa versa fr... | |
| My Yamamoto A-08s has arrived....Yay. Sorry Arkprof, I didn't make it very clear. I didn't buy the second hand A-08 because I'd already ordered mine. I kind of wish that I had bought it, it would have been great to compare the two.The types of music I listen to are extremely varied. Y... | |
| My Yamamoto A-08s has arrived....Yay. Hi Arkprof. The Amp arrived at my door for 278,000 yen , that included 30,00 for shipping. oh I had tax at 12.5% to pay on top of that too (NZ tax). That was a working amp with all tubes etc. I think its great value.Just to make you guys a little... | |
| My Yamamoto A-08s has arrived....Yay. Thanks for your kind comments guys, I'm really enjoying listening. Mik, the EML's are supposed to raise the perfomance a level or two, and they'll look stunning in your amp from the pics i've seen. I'd be really interested to read your comments on... | |
| Avantgarde Duo set up. hi Chris/Herman, Thanks for your Advice. Its very good to know that the set up in the Manual isn't critical for great performance with these speakers. I'm happy to experiment with positioning etc and from your comments I've got some good things to... | |
| SET question best 45 type tube Thanks guys, I've read that the mesh plates might be a little noisier and less reliable than the solids which could be a problem with the duos. This, togther with your comments, is steering me towards the solid plate 45's. If the EML tubes sound a... | |
| Cable selection for SET. Hi Stan, thanks for your very helpful comments, but I dont think that I could live without remote controll and I've not come across a doppler radar preamp with full remote function yet. (radar amplification seems very interesting tho)Wishing you a... | |
| Cable selection for SET. Hey guys, I think the message i'm getting is to give it go and see what synergys work best for me. I'll be trying the silver slinkylinks, the kimber 8tc and I may as well give the speltz a go as its pretty cheap.What about length ?? (ooo errrr). I... | |
| Cable selection for SET. Thanks Rene, My local avantgarde dealer(amazingly there is one in Auckland) has used the original Yamamoto a-08 with his Duo's and said that he had very good results with them so I'm very hopefull that the new version a-08s will be a huge improvem... | |
| Cable selection for SET. thanks Guys, I've noticed someone local here in NZ selling the speltz anti cables. I kind of dismissed them as gimick. From what you guys say though they seem like they might be a good match. I'll give them a try and compare them with the kimber. ... | |
| Linn Kairn internal battery replacement. Thats a great answer, thank you. I completely agree that there is a point where digital players become involving and free from significant digital "nasties". I have quite a substantial cd collection so while it will be a second source then it'll s... | |
| Linn Kairn internal battery replacement. That sounds like a very fair system.As I'm going to be going to be converting to a vinyl main source. I'm thinking of trying to get hold of an Ikemi or a genki as a cd front end to replace my 3 box 500 series meridian. Less boxes would be a good t... |
