| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll Hi Jet,You consistently provide meaningful thoughts and perspective. I understand what you reasoning is for less frequent forum posting. This endeavor of assembling high quality audio systems is absolutely a very personal undertaking. It is a t... | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll I just think people hear in all manner of different ways. At live venues I can readily realize the volume has increased without having to engage in the talk test. Good discussion.Charles | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll Jet,In all honesty I'm not a fan of loud music ,recorded or live. A few weeks ago my wife and I went to a bar featuring live electric blues. It was just too loud and unenjoyable for the entire group of us. I know some like it cranked up this way a... | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll Hi Jet,I respect and appreciate the many contributions of Atmasphere as I know you do as well. I do agree with your comments written above regarding SET loudness/distortion. In addition to my 8 watt 300b SET I also have a 40 watt EL 34 push pull(P... | |
| Class D Technology As Mapman said you have to listen to them and decide. Some people are very pleased with certain class D amplifiers. Thus far in my experience a high quality class AB and definitely class A are better sounding. I’m with George on this one. This cou... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi John,7th game that goes into extra innings who could ask for more. It can be said without hyperbole that both teams battled and gave their all. Supremely competitive World Series, no shame for the Indians. Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Frank,That's been my philosophy as well, getting the most potential from your current components. It has been very enjoyable and educational and my system has certainly responded. You have definitely extracted significant improvements in y... | |
| OCTAVE v80se w/SBB and JADIS I-50 No doubt that both are terrific choices and a direct comparison would be quite a treat. Jadis does have a unique captivating and engaging sound. Obviously just a personal impression on my part. Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Well, I’d surely hope and expect a 15K line stage to provide (far) greater sonic/system impact than a 120.00 dollar premium fuse. One is an expensive and major component, the other an effective tweak that’s not even 1 % the cost of the ARC preampl... | |
| OCTAVE v80se w/SBB and JADIS I-50 Hello Hamburger,IMO you can't go wrong with either of these amplifiers. I haven't heard these specific models but have listened to other amplifiers of both brands. They both sound exceptionally good, are very well built and also reflect excellent... | |
| Compatibility question regarding a Chord 2Qute and a PS Audio Perfectwave Transport The PWT is excellent sounding via rca coax, just use a good quality cable. For the Chord if you question their coax output quality just get an USB to coax adapter. Why would the Chord coax be "inferior "? I’m skeptical of that assertion. I'm incli... | |
| Standmount speakers 4k-8k Bcgator,Good points you make, yes sometimes you have to rely on faith. I bought my power amplifier, DAC and speakers without hearing them and I’d say that they exceeded my lofty expectations. Information gained from certain reviewers and definitel... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frazee,No need for apologies, you've expressed the main point unambiguously. The power cables improved your system's sound quality and that says it all. Congratulations. Charles | |
| Standmount speakers 4k-8k Auxinput, Agree with you, when a thread solicits opinion/recommendations the list can grow long in a hurry. There's a lot of really fine speaker choices available yet it's impractical to compare and listen to more than a chosen few in reality. ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Bill,Congratulations on your Lyngdorf, I'm glad that it meets all of your audio system needs. I've seen reviews/articles on it but haven't heard one. I'm a thoroughly happy SET lifer I've come to realize. It gratifying to find music listening c... |
