| What is as tube sounding as Conrad today? @bondmanp special thanks to you for taking time and finding out preamps for me. I really appreciate it. | |
| What is as tube sounding as Conrad today? @lou_setriodes I don’t want to be one of those people who says I will keep you posted and then never writes back. I don’t promise but I will keep you posted. Though, it will be a long while (probably end of August maybe later) since I am constantl... | |
| What is as tube sounding as Conrad today? Thanks to all of you for the responses! I did buy a CJ PV-5 today with extra tubes (never installed new tubes). Including shipping, PayPal fees, etc. I didn’t pay $300 but paid a fair price where I didn’t have to stretch my budget too much. Can’t ... | |
| What is as tube sounding as Conrad today? Argghh I wrote a long response and thanks to Audiogon deleted all of it!@roberjerman: I hear you! I have tried almost all Class D chips. They have something that I do not like in the highs which I cannot pinpoint. However, TA2022 chip from Tripath... | |
| What is as tube sounding as Conrad today? Thanks for the replies. I am well aware $300 (even for a used unit) is not enough moola for a great preamp. However, I read from here and there on the forums little Chinese preamps or some DIY kits sound fantastic. Some even $50! Now, I am not s... | |
| Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching Thanks!No, I know what the designer of my speakers think, Alan Shaw. He thinks for my SHL5 and his other speakers, 100wpc is more than enough. He does not say you need to get 100wpc but 100wpc is a good power if you want some reserve power. I agre... | |
| Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching Thanks @gdhal So, if I buy an amp for my 6 ohms speakers with recommended minimum power of 50wpc and if the amp has a power of 50wpc in 4 ohms and 25 wpc in 8 ohms. Am I meeting the "technical" recommendation?I know what matters is whatever sounds... | |
| Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching I asked this question in another discussion but this one suits better.If a speaker manufacturer has the following specs; do they mean the recommended power in 8 ohms or 6 ohms?Specs:Impedance: 6 ohmsRecommended power: Minimum 50wpc | |
| 6 ohm speakers with 4/8 ohm amplifier Maybe I should ask differently.If a speaker manufacturer has the following specs; do they mean the recommended power in 8 ohms or 6 ohms?Specs:Impedance: 6 ohmsRecommended power: Minimum 50wpc | |
| 6 ohm speakers with 4/8 ohm amplifier Say your speakers are 6 ohms and your amp gives out 120wpc in 6 ohms.So, if I am shopping for an amp for my 6 ohms speakers and care about the amp’s power rating, I should go by it is power rating at 6 ohms, correct?I should also mention that I am... | |
| Is Spiking Necesarry? True story.I have this old Jamo Sub200. Cheapo but pretty decent for the price. Using for HT only. Bought it used. It does good things but when the Hz goes low and loud, it would rattle/distort. I removed its plastic feet. Put them on it is own sc... | |
| Which DAC? SFD-1 MKII/Bel Canto DAC1/MF A3.24 @lush I have the itch of getting the SFD-1 MKii. Currently, I am using the Museatex Bitstream (unmodded) which I am very happy with. When I saw your response, I wanted to ask if you had a chance to compare the SFD-1 MKii to the Bitstream. I am cur... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS Ryder,No problem at all! Thank you for the reply. See I liked the C7ES3 better than the Plus when I heard them at a dealer in the same setup. Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to compare with the SHL5 as it was an older model they didn’t stoc... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS @ryder just curious. No plans to change my SHL5s. If I did, I would probably go with the C7ES3 anyway. However, I would like to know how do you like your Plus vs. non-plus and C7ES3 if you don't mind sharing. Btw, I am very close getting NAP200+NA... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini @dogmcd I am in the same situation. Using SBT strictly as a streamer. Also found a used Aries Mini with Sbooster PS. I use it via Coax only. What are your thoughts on the sound quality between the SBT and Mini? Thanks.P.S. I currently use LMS serv... |
