| My final table , hopefully ! Saki70,This is just my opinion but the WTT arm is so intricate to the overall design that changing the arm may be counter productive. Only an educated hunch and nothing more.Charles, | |
| My final table , hopefully ! Hi fjn04,Very nice system! WTT,Shindo and Devore Orangutan O/96. I'm certain that you are enjoying musical bliss 😊. Charles, | |
| My final table , hopefully ! Hello Saki70,I'm very familiar with the Well Tempered (owned one for about 12 years) and the SOTA turntables (in the systems of two friends). I believe that you can not go wrong with either, both have stood the test of time admirably. The cartrid... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Tommy, Regarding break-in of the Black fuses, it varied among my components. In my DAC the placement of an upgraded fuse resulted in an immediate improvement that progressed further with additional hours. On the other hand my amplifiers and Line S... | |
| Looking for a solid state preamp for Krell fpb 250m monoblocks Michael,A friend of my uses the Krell FPB 600 mono blocks to drive his Rockport Altair speakers. His preamplifier is the Absolare Passion and it is a superb sounding match. I strongly disagree with those who told you that tubes and Krell don't m... | |
| Any options for low power class A amps? Hi Audioman,One in particular is the Coincident Dynamo MK II (current version). Substantial upgrades from the original (which was already very good). A beautiful match with efficient speakers per experienced listeners I trust. Beefed up power sup... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers I understand 😊. | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Tommie,You're very happy with your amplifier and speakers, I wouldn't change a thing. Charles, | |
| Any options for low power class A amps? Gigi, Audioman specified transistor amplifiers, otherwise I would have listed some terrific low power tube amplifiers. | |
| Any options for low power class A amps? Bakoon vs Valvet vs First Watt, this would be a very fun/interesting comparison of top quality low power SS amplifiers. All three built by very highly regarded companies. I don’t believe there's a loser in this grouping. If I ever strayed from 3... | |
| Any options for low power class A amps? Audioman,You are welcome and good luck. | |
| Any options for low power class A amps? Audioman,There is a German company called Valvet. They have a 12 watt single end (1 transistor per channel) thus pure class A. Valvet has a very high reputation for quality. This model is the E2.Charles, | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Hello Mapman,My comments about realistic piano sound was in response to your mentioning 2nd order harmonics vs "accurate reproduction. The SET sounds more like a live piano than other amplifiers I’ve used in my system. I believe it is due to the a... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Mapman,If someone wants to brush off the improved harmonics as 2nd order distortion, have at it. My SS amp was drier and flatter in tonality. This fleshed out presentation is much closer to what I hear when listening to live unamplified instrume... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Mapman,I believe you'll be happy with either a SET or OTL amplifier with those speakers. I'm very familiar with the Atma-Sphere MA-1 and their 60 watt amplifiers. Regarding SET just be sure to get one with good quality output transformers and we... |
