| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @hilde45 , Re-sale — I'm really learning how many very good speaker companies there are out there that one would never hear of without a forum. That's a great thing to learn, but if this is not an endgame speaker, how hard or at what cost would... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @hilde45 I believe that you’ve chosen a good path to explore and don’t think you can go wrong with Devore, Audio Note or Fyne Audio speakers. Another option that fits this category is a Canadian speaker from Coherent Audio. Straightforward two... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @alexberger But he preferred the results he got with SE by a big margin. He used classic schematics. He runs his amplifiers without feedback and with feedback. The question is why you and my friend got so different results? What is the differen... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver From JA, Stereophile on the Wharfedale Diamond 225 speaker, I used DRA Labs' MLSSA system and a calibrated DPA 4006 microphone to measure the Wharfedale Diamond 225's frequency response in the farfield, and an Earthworks QTC-40 for the nearfiel... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver I'd like to see an impedance graph for those speakers, or some other data, to know why they perform as Reichert says they do. There is a very big difference in abject power requirements for an 87db vs 93db speaker, so knowing what else is going o... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA I know a lot of audiophiles look askance at measurements but the simple fact is that if you have the right measurements you can tell how an amp will sound if you also have an understanding of how we perceive sound. I believe many experience aud... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver @whart But, I'm down with high efficiency speakers and low powered tube amps as a good way to reproduce music. +1 Charles | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? @ghdprentice I am sure different companies components might act differently… it is all in the implementation of what ever is converted. Yep, as always seems to be the case regarding audio performance, implementation rules! Common mode noise r... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA IMO its a tell of the sorry state of affairs in high end audio that there are SETs that actually do sound better than their PP brethren- it really shouldn’t be that way! @atmasphere For a number of listeners this is their conclusion. You give... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA Correction IDHT and pentode tubes are not synonymous. Pentode =5 element construction. IDHT is a triode =3 element construction. Charles | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @mozartfan What you’re referring to as "SET tubes" are technically DHT(Directly heated triode) true 3 element tubes (45, 2A3, 300b, PX 25,211,845, 805,50 and so on). Your reference to "KT type tubes" are IDHT (Indirectly heated ) with most of t... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @jond Lovely! Thanks for sharing. No doubt the Deja Vu proprietors know their customers tastes/desires very well. I bet this amplifier sounds fantastic! Charles | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @jond You had that el 34 for quite a while so I know how much listening enjoyment it must've brought you. Your current 2A3 push pull amplifier has to be quite special to have drawn you away.😊 Charles | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... @jdoris Thanks.. You tried the Ayre CD and it did nothing in your opinion. I have zero problems with that as that was your genuine experience. Enough people have posted positive outcomes with this product so I am willing to see what outcome I’l... | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... @jdoris My post wasn’t directed toward you at all. Rather my response was to the ‘wise guy’ snarky comment mentioning the green CD pens. It was an uninformed comment in my opinion. Charles |
