| Help with speaker selection <$20k I’ve travelled a similar path from “precision and accuracy” with Focal Kanta 3’s and Rockport Atria ii’s with D’Agostino solid state back to Tannoy Kensingtons with Pathos Heritage MKIi hybrid and a more “musical” to me presentation which is where... | |
| What to do with a large collection @rvpiano Is your LP collection catalogued? | |
| XLR recomendation @carlsbad2 Meant to say that the Heritage is a fully balanced integrated amp. It has both balanced and SE. Because it’s balanced it’s been suggested to use XLR rather than RCA with DAVE. Though I’m enjoying my. Syn Res RCA’s. Will be interesting ... | |
| XLR recomendation @carlsbad2 Sorry to be unclear. Bad capacitor or resistor in the right XLR. Hopefully won’t need to replace the entire board. Haven’t had a chance to send infor inspection/repair yet. I had been using XLR before the problem occurred. | |
| XLR recomendation @carlsbad2 my amp is balanced. Pathos Heritage MKii. Thanks. | |
| XLR recomendation @glennewdick Thanks for the heads up. | |
| XLR recomendation @soix My DAVE right XLR channel is burnt so I’m using RCA for now. Sold my only decent Transparent Ref XLR and need another. Transparent was fine. Most of my cables are Transparent. Just looking for alternative suggestions. Thx | |
| Checking for crossover and driver issues @gs5556 Thanks for the information. I will be sending the amp in for service. Not using the Tannoy ground. Also, the amp isn’t plugged into a wall AC. It runs from a Transparent PowerIsolator. I tried it directly from the wall to no avail. Th... | |
| Checking for crossover and driver issues Thanks. I just connected the Kensingtons to my NAIM ATOM and they work perfectly. I’m told by my tech that means there is no issue with the speakers. What an amazing little machine the NAIM ATOM is BTW. It’s normally running Tannoy Mini Autogra... | |
| LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW! Focal 706V Harbeth 30.1 Harbeth 30.2 Focal Kanta 3 Rockport Atria ii Tannoy Kensington GR REL S/812 | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? I had Kanta 3s which I purposely moved to from Harbeth 30.2s for a more forward and brighter sound. Even with hybrid tube electronics (BHK 300s). I eventually moved to Rockport Atria ii but now have Tannoy Kensingtons with Pathos Heritage MKIi hy... | |
| Experience with Modwright products? I had his OPPO SONICA DAC tube mod at one time. It was a huge improvement to the DAC in every way. Dan’s tech support and approach to customer service it first rate. I have no experience with his current lineup but based on my experience you could... | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. @ja_kub_sz Sorry. Thought I’d answered your Heritage tube question before. Replaced the Tung-sol EXC803S with NOS MULLARD mc1. $$ and hard to find. More stability to the sound. More solid bass. | |
| Thinking Hybrid Integrated. + for Modwright. No experience with Dan’s amps but he tube modded my OPPO Sonica DAC years ago. Does great work. Stand up guy. | |
| Old stock power cords and SMTPs Ok! SMPS. Jeesh. Tough crowd. |
