| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps Charles, assuming I get anywhere with this project, I will post some comments on my system page. I don't have an ideal room, but it isn't all that bad, and it is dedicated to music and out of sight of visitors. So I have a bit more latitude to u... | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps Charles, The pictures are old. I have the woofers facing outward and that is the preferred orientation. The speakers are moved back from the listening position and now the rear ports are 18" out from the front wall. Israel lists that as the mi... | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps jbrrp, I am thinking about building my own diffusors, but I will probably purchase the bass traps and other absorbers. I have placed an order for Realtrap corner mondo traps, but they haven't arrived yet. I have found their website and a couple... | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today knghifi, this should be interesting as you get some time on the Atlantic. | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps Bayreuth, I suspected the 30.8 would have the edge over the J2. It seams like there are always used J2's to be had, which I presume are mostly trade in's for the Pass amps. Charles, thanks for the heads up on Snoblo's experience. It is going to ... | |
| Devore O/96 with Class A Solid State Amps This is a great reminder that we not adopt a narrow minded perspective with respect to putting together a system. I spent most of my audio years in pursuit of achieving my goals with low efficiency dipole speakers and the requisite high current a... | |
| New Sony HAP-Z1ES Firmware Out Today knghifi, Please keep us informed about how the atlantic does compared to the MW analog output. I had been thinking about trying one of the Lampizator DACs. Now I can wait for you to run the experiment. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Butler,The stock HAPZ1 is indeed very good. The stock HAPZ1 was on a par with my ModWright Sony 5400 ES player, which I found very surprising. The ModWright upgrades are a no-brainer if you want a one box plug and play music server with excellen... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Butler, The ModWright work was absolutely worth it. I bought the HAPZ1 and used it long enough to get it burned in well before I sent it off. I made some pretty detailed notes on some music that was well known to me, so I did have a good point o... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Butler, One last thought. My HAPZ1 is a ModWright version, with a second isolated tube rectifier that provides DC to the analogue section. This being the case, your results might very well be different than mine. It might be safest to start wi... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Butler, this is my post from 3-19-16 below. The fuse in the "HDD live" slot is the one that made a difference. I had 2 fuses of the right value in other equipment, so I tried one at a time and then both. Again, adding the black fuse to the mai... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Butler,I tried the Blacks in my Sony HAPZ1 ES. I found that replacing one of the fuses made a noticeable improvement in sound, whereas the other made no discernible difference. I wonder if one fuse serves non audio devices ( front panel, transpo... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Inna and Charles, I've experienced some really engaging conversations with fellow audiophiles, discussing everything from the flow of electrons to the flow of notes. The fun part comes when I tell them I don't own a table. Suddenly, they look ... | |
| Would owning Hoover Dam improve the midrange? Next it will be certified organic, non-GMO, electrons. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Too bad about Elrog, but this was an inevitable conclusion to what I've been told was essentially a 100% premature failure rate on their 300b tubes. I hope the new owner can get the flaws worked out, because they are superb sounding tubes. The n... |
