| The Plasmatron - more linear output voltage Mceljo,AC voltage is a sine wave, as your EE friend points out. However, it is expressed as a single value, e.g., 120 V or 117 V etc. That value is actually the root mean square (RMS) of the entire sine wave. One possibility is that the claim rega... | |
| Best Sounding Musicians James Ehnes gets my vote. The most astonishing phrase from a violin I ever heard was the soloist entrance in the Dvorak Violin Concerto by Ehnes. It was beautiful beyond (by a considerable margin) anything I have ever heard. I was seated about 15 ... | |
| ESL's to Monitors Coincident Triumph Extreme IIs. Excellent speakers. They kicked my Magnepan 3.7Rs to the curb. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Al and Mapman, Good comments from both of you. One does well not to ignore physics and math. Reality is painfully stubborn and persistent. It won't bend no matter how much you want it to. However, in this field, one's subjective perception of that... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi, my sense is exactly what you got from Steve Deckert. If I were going to use an SET with the deCapos for Mahler, it would have to be something like the Franks. Otherwise, I think I'm going to be very happy with the dynamo driving the deCapos. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Tubegroover, Rebbi is going to have a long wait for me to sell the dynamo. I intend to have two full systems. The franks will stay in my listening room and the dynamo will serve in the bedroom system.I absolutely agree though, that Rebbi is taking... | |
| Coincident Dynamo vs. Decware SE34I.4 Rebbi, I have huge hands. I can, with appropriate care, manage to rotate the volume knob without toasting my fingers. I would encourage you to think about the tube rolling in this way. The stock tube that is probably just unacceptable is the recti... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob, let me know what you think of this version vs those that you already own. I have not yet downloaded the Jansons and Barshai cycles to my HAPZ1. I need to get that done. I especially like the Jansons 4th. It is the best I have heard. The H... | |
| Resonessence Mirrus vs Sony HAPZ-1ES Knghifi, I have not tried any aftermarket fuses with the HAPZ1 yet. I did put an Audio Magic Liquid Air in the PS 9.0 power supply. By the way, I have found the power supply to be very sensitive to power cord selection. I use a VH Audio AirSine wi... | |
| Resonessence Mirrus vs Sony HAPZ-1ES KNGhifi, I haven't tried playing the internet radio while downloading, but it should be no problem. I frequently playback from the hard drive while downloading.I also want to pick up a pair of the Siemens. I have heard great things about them. I d... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob, the recording I use so frequently for listening tests is from the Kitajenko cycle on Cappriccio. Most of the recordings in the set are pretty good, both from the standpoint of sonics and also based on performance. I also have Barshai and ... | |
| Resonessence Mirrus vs Sony HAPZ-1ES calvinj, Sorry for the slow response, I didn't see this post.My ModWright HAPZ1 is doing fine. Over the last couple months, I have added an Audio Magic Illusion umbilical, which in my opinion is a must have for the ModWright Sony. Going from the M... | |
| Issues with Sony HAP-Z1ES- Vtuner Non-Functional Yep, glad it is back up and running. I just wish sony would play it straight with its customers. It is possible the issue involved lawyers, which would explain everything. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob, The last time my wife and I moved was in 2002. Our current house was only a mile from the previous one, and it took the old house about 4 months to sell after we closed on our current one. The actual moving process was about as relaxed as... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob and Charles, For two decades I stuck with the Magnepan/SS amp route. This worked well for me because of my preference for large scale orchestral works, because of my insistence on true timbre, and because Magnepan offers so much speaker fo... |
