| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt,What amplifier does your neighbor plan to use with the Isis?Was he impressed with the Dynaudios?Charles, | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD It seems clear both the Trenner- Friedl and Dynaudio are world class speakers. As mentioned before, different design philosophy yielding different sonic characters (as one would expect). Matt's earlier amplifier analogy and follow up detailed list... | |
| Frankensteins or Audio Note Kit 300b Matt,If you're happy with the 16 watt 845 SET driving your Dalis then there's a good chance the 20 watt PSET 300b may also be fine. Again I'd suggest getting the best output transformers you can afford(and 4 ohm taps). Matt, as much as I enjoy the... | |
| Frankensteins or Audio Note Kit 300b Matt,I believe you can't go wrong with either. The AN Kit 300b has earned a strong reputation(even more so when certain upgraded caps/transformers are chosen).There are very satisfied owners on this site for certain.I've owned the Frankenstein Mar... | |
| Review: Lahave Audio Khara Speaker Bill,I heard a wonderful sounding single driver speaker at RMAF 2011. It was the Fletcher-Haynes Heirloom using an 8" fostex driver, one of the very best sounds at the entire show. Single driver speakers can't do everything(what can? all designs h... | |
| Review: Lahave Audio Khara Speaker Bill,That makes sense to me and I can appreciate and understand your change of direction.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes With continued listening to my replacement Elrogs ER 300b I've come to realize they sound "better" than my original pair. I don't know if better matching of the tubes to my amplifier's operational points is the reason or not. The natural sound and... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt,I believe your admittedly early listening impressions have uncovered the instrinsic character and strength of this speaker. It will only improved with time IMHO. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD " Trenner is something to buy when you are done with Hifi"Andrew that sums up my impression of their appeal as well. They get you directly involved with the music and leave the nervous compulsive behavior to most other speakers. It seems the build... | |
| Review: Lahave Audio Khara Speaker Bill,You are full of surprises! What do you seek differently with this change of direction? Charles, | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Rob,Have you formed any listening impressions with your modified Dynamo amplifier as of yet? How much of a difference have you heard with the Arizona capacitors?Charles, | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, What really interests me is how your high powered amplifiers interact with these speakers. Both companies have excellent reputations. Trenner Friedl and Dynaudio have very different design approaches/philosophy and construction/Xovers/driver... | |
| Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR The Wyetech Amplifiers have earned esteemed reputations for sound and built quality. Two different sound characters I'd imagine, output tubes are 6AS7GA vs 211 tubes. 2K seems a very good value for the Onyx mono blocks.Good Luck, | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Agear,I agree 100% with your statement. You have to listen as Matt is effectively demonstrating with his speaker auditions. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price In terms of shielded vs unshielded cables, if anything were ever system dependent, this is certainly a good example. Enrivorment (RFI, EMI etc.) and components of choice will determine which is the best solution for sound quality. Charles, |
