| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Mikirob,What a wife you have. Not only does she appreciate SET sound, she wants to build one. She obviously is a music lover with superb taste. You must feel fortunate. She is attracted to a natural sound it seems. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Grannyring,Yes we all here would agree on the importance of synergy/compatibility. For this reason a reviewer should rationally use an appropriate speaker for the amplifier under review. Otherwise what good is the reviewer's results if the match i... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Al,Yes the output transformer is a logical culprit. Except in this case two things counter that assumption to some degree.1) Israel places much emphasis on the importance of transformer quality and is consistent in that stance.2)6 Moons and Enj... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I wonder what accounts for such a high output impedance of the Dynamo. The Frankenstein has an output impedance of 1.8 ohms, quite a difference. Tim Smith found good speaker matches in his review despite this seemingly obvious limitation of the Dy... | |
| Spectral Audio & Thiel speakers I heard this very combination of these two brands in a room at CES, demonstration by Keith Johnson using his recordings. It was terrible to be honest, just as others here have posted, thin,bleached, just simply amusical and sterile.. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? My advice for people interested in tube amps and specifically the Dynamo is to spend the money required to obtain high quality tubes. I've seen enough feedback regarding this amplifier to belive it is very good and an exceptional value.It has a go... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? So much depends on the speaker when judging an amplifier, particularly SET/SEP types. It seems Tim Smith of 6 Moons may have use more compatible speakers as he notes numerous fine matches. System synergy is such a key factor for success . | |
| Addendum to Dan My feelings towards computers are the same as yours and Bill. I have to use them in my work all day and every day, so I'm comfortable with them, but I don't like them. I want them no where in my audio system. I've heard numerous computer front... | |
| Addendum to I have the same perspective as Bill(Grannyring). Depending on the quality of your CD player/system, CDs can sound marvelous.Some people are quick to write off Redbook CD but so much(as always) is determined by implementation.As a former hardcore a... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Least not lease, oops. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy,As we both know, it's impossible to declare one capacitor the"best" for every listener in any/all systems. The responses here reflect that. All I can do is offer specific individual experiences and go with what I hear. I think we're simi... | |
| Can Silver Interconnects be bright in your gear John,Thanks for your kind comments. I wish you and your family a very happy holiday season as well. | |
| Can Silver Interconnects be bright in your gear Hi John,I don't disagree with one word you have written. When I post my thoughts and opinions I try to make it clear that they are"personal" observations(John I stated personal experience rather than IMHO in my post above, same meaning). There's n... | |
| Can Silver Interconnects be bright in your gear Hello Al,I agree that the often touted "lower resistance" of silver in reality/practical terms is negligible. I do however find that for what ever reason high quality silver just sounds better than equal quality copper. This is based purely on per... | |
| Can Silver Interconnects be bright in your gear Millmetr,I've used the Ocellia IC and SC the past 3 years and will keep them for many more years.They are utterly organic and wonderful. |
