| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @mulveling These amps might well sound good, but it’s looking more and more like they should have been spec’d at a much, MUCH lower power. Now where’s the value? Plenty of low power vintage amps that sound wonderful. EL84, 6L6, and EL34 tubes a... | |
| Trelja and friends in New York, 2004 +1 to the very recent posts, so true. Charles | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Two points, If you're going to test a component, ensure you have the authentic model. At the end of the day the sound quality is the most important parameter for an audio component. It's being purchased to reproduce music, so presumably you ca... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers Hi brad, Just to clarify I have the Total Eclipse II and not the Super Eclipse which is the model below the Totals (And highly praised in their own right). The stock tweeter capacitor is a Solens. I replaced these (Only 1 capacitor per speaker) w... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier For the love of all things sacred....If you’re going to test things "scientifically" can you at least (a) buy the unit from a licensed dealer; (b) note the serial number(s); (c) make sure you know what you are talking about before posting alleged... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers @bradf Im trying to figure out if because of the moderate wattage typically used to drive these speakers if the woofer output is more tame and neighbor friendly at moderate listening levels then what a separate sealed box 500 watt, integral amp... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers @bradf The Coincident Total Eclipse II were built from the ground up to be very compatible with tube amplifiers and this includes SET amplifiers (Thus the high 14 ohm impedance and 94 db sensitivity), The other aspect to ensure successful pairi... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers @bradf Gon member @clevelandbrownsfan has owned the Super Victory II for a few years and drives them with Atma-sphere M-60 OTLs and loves the pairing. It seems to me that the el 34 LTA amplifier should also be an excellent match. Charles | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers @jond I don’t believe that I can offer much meaningful help. The only Devore speaker I’ve heard is the Orangutan 96 model and that was under audio show conditions (RMAF, I had a nice conversion with John Devore who was very pleasant). I have pr... | |
| 30 to 50 watts seems to be all I desire @audiodwebe Caveat: Listening to mainly Jazz at volumes less than 85db, normally. This explans in large part your outcome and the fact that you listen in a modest size room. Quality of your amplifier has more bearing than the quantity of w... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus @gte357s Looking back, I think your are right, it seems I just need to tweak the sound. Try different tubes likely be a more cost effective way to get where I want. If I buy another preamp, seems I am starting this all over again I agree ... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus In my digital rig, while CSLS is not 100% perfect, but very close to. I wish to have a bit more tonal density or weight in the music. I’d give consideration to trying the Lanlai 101D as @sns recommended due to their fuller tone/body compared to... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus @gte357s I think the main determining factor is, am I satisfied with the digital rig now. I think I am pretty satisfied. The music is just flowing in the room. It is very live like. This is the strength of the CSLS and confirmed by many oth... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus @sns So, if it were me, I'd do both Linlai and better cartridge. I don't think Alnic your problem. Coincident linestage is NOT the problem here. If you insist on selling I have buyer ready to go. I am in agreement with this synopsis. OP your ... | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 I'll differ with you on one point. I don't feel that the Gryphon ETHOS CD player is ridiculously priced. It is targeted for those shopping in a very specific and exclusive segment. Everyone is free to determine their discretiona... |
