| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? My impression is that the Pure Sound M845 is a very good quality SET amplifier. I do agree with Keithr that certain speakers are likely better served being driven by a solid state or push pull tube amplifier. The Jadis I 50 is a very good recommen... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi kedoades, The differences you note between the Red fuse and the Beeswax fuse is what I and others hear comparing the Red vs Black fuses. I honestly believe that both (Beeswax and Black) are terrific and will always be listener and component/sy... | |
| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? Phaun16, You mentioned the VAC REN amplifier and I am familiar with them. It is a terrific amplifier that is 300b push pull rather than SET, I believe you must decide what type of sound/ direction you really want, this is important. The VAC REN w... | |
| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? Phaun16,I have the Coincident 300b SET amplifier. Yes,it’s an excellent music maker but I wouldn’t recommend it for your 87 db speakers. I’d suggest the Coincident Turbo 845 SET (5500.00), Line Magnetic 219ia 845, (7500.00) or the Line Magnetic 50... | |
| Crossover capacitor voltage ratings.... Chills,Bill (grannyring) is very experienced and knowledgeable in these matters, I'd give much regard to his recommendations. Solen is a solid choice and reasonably priced however you can find better. My speaker's simple crossover used a single S... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hello Frank,I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to prepare and send these recordings. I can’t wait to hear them. The last batch of recordings you sent me were excellent and a pleasure to listen to. Charles | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Wow!That Cresendo crossover has a lot of big value (capacitance) capacitors. It’s actually somewhat surprising how well this speaker sounds given all of those capacitors in the signal path. Quite a complex crossover, but the bottom line is how doe... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Mentioning Wes Montgomery made me think of another wonderful jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell. "Midnight Blue " this is another gem early 1960s Blue Note recording. I believe that you'd like it a lot. Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Barbapapa, I’ve suspected that the Audio Magic Beeswax fuse is a very good one. I may try one in my DAC or Line Stage at some future point. Admittedly I’m not in a rush to do so as I’ve been content with the SR Black fuses. I feel that the Audio ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Bill,Another Bill (Brownsfan) did the same several years ago moving from Indiana to TENN. He and his wife love it there and say the people are as friendly and nice as can be. I’m happy for both you Bills. Charles | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Bill,I suspect that in terms of sonic impact the tweeter and midrange capacitors are the sites to address compared to the woofer location. Knowing how well the AZ Crescendos sound I'm eager to learn what these presumably superior parts do with th... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Bill, I look forward to following your progress with this project. Curious to see how much improvement you'll extract from an already excellent speaker. This will be illuminating. Charles | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers Sorry, I thought Ohm's Law is self evident in its equation. As R decreases I must increase for a given V I.e. voltage. There's an inverse relationship, more current is needed to maintain the voltage as the resistance diminishes. It all seems s... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi fleschler, Andy is a very knowledgeable and reliable source. I’ve bought from him in the past and was pleased with his tubes and service. As I’ve mentioned in this thread previously, the SR Black fuses were sonically more impactful than some tu... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 The EAR 868 is very highly thought of in the realm of good tube preamplifiers. Quite a compliment for the 219ia preamp section competing so closely. Walter I'm curious to know how the EML XLS works out as a driver tube in your amplifier. It's spl... |
