| Low gain dac! Hi @gryphongryph,Solid state, Valvet Audio A4 mono blocks. Pure class A 55watt into 8 ohms/90 w at 4 ohms.Tube, Line Magnetic 805ia class A SET 48 watts. Both of these amplifiers would in my opinion easily drive your 8 ohm impedance speakers. Caut... | |
| Why Does All Jazz Sound The Same? @jjss49,the gift that never stops giving 🙏🙏🙏🙏So on the mark. Thanks for sharing your experience, lucky you to have such a roommate. A very good friend of mine is a drummer and his brother is a pianist. Both are accomplished jazz musicians on o... | |
| Why Does All Jazz Sound The Same? @superblackbirddave1, Your wife is not alone with those sentiments. Jazz and classical music will never be mainstream for the general population and I accept that. Pop,Rock, Hip hop,Rap is what millions gravitate toward and where mega amount of mo... | |
| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable "I'm convinced that room acoustics are far greater of an importance than boutique cables."@devilboy, I agree with your observation and conclusion. I believe that the cables are a factor but less so than the room itself.Charles | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps @nightfall,That is quite a letdown and I understand your disappointment after reaching an agreement for sale. Used MK III Frankensteins will be rare for a while.Charles | |
| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable I use "bare ends" connection with my Ocellia Silver Reference speaker cable and am happy with the outcome. Charles | |
| Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable Hi @devilboy, @goose mentioned Duelund Coherent Audio speaker cables. I believe that they are worth looking into.Charles | |
| Recommendations on Integrated Tube Amp around $5k @nquery, "I own the LM805ia and it is in another league"I don't find your listening results at all surprising. It's good you were able to perform direct amplifier comparisons in your own system.Charles | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk @kingbarbuda, Congratulations! Glad to read that the Blackhawk is such a successful match with your Magico speakers. Charles | |
| Cayin A-300b vs Muzishare x9 @cb3489, You have 2 very capable amplifiers, however I do understand the allure of the SET and why you are drawn to it. This type of amplifier if executed properly stirs much musical emotion and gets you more involved/connected with the music. I w... | |
| Cayin A-300b vs Muzishare x9 @cb3489, Congratulations!As long as the 300b SET is paired with appropriate speakers I believe that you'll be quite happy with it. Are you using the KEF or have you received the Tekton Perfect SET?Charles | |
| Thiel Owners Hi @dsper, My suggestion to flip the fuse direction/orientation is a simple step and a number of listeners note that one direction is better sounding than the other. I'm sure you're aware that some consider upgrade fuses utter nonsense. So be it. ... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk "Hard to believe how a simple change like swapping a power cord can have such a big impact." Not hard to believe for some listeners. I've heard some power cables do this with various audio components . They can make a difference. Charles | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? "This is not a whether it is better or not decision, it is a whether you like it or not". Per dletch2.Agree 100%. Who would buy any audio product (with the purpose /intent of enjoying your music) if you didn’t like the sound it reproduces. That wo... |
