| Zen Crescendo or 5a...will they work in my room? I'm familiar with both of these speakers and believe each would work in your room and requires some placement experimentation. The Vandersteen is a good speaker and a solid choice. I'd go with the Crescendo as I find it a very exception sounding s... | |
| The future of preamps He's very transparent.Audiolabyrinth, look at Atma-Sphere's stellar company track record with their products for decades. Who's more credible Ralph or George in your opinion? Give it some rational thought.Charles, | |
| Worlds best DAC Agear,With all the time, money and effort you have put in your system are you dissatisfied with your digital playback? I hope not. I'm constantly finding good sounding CDs to listen to. If you truly believe digital sucks you should consider going ... | |
| The future of preamps Ralph, What more can you say to alleviate his concern? If he's not convinced of what you've told him he may never be, despite many years of safe trouble free (of DC issues) user evidence. I think George likes to get under your skin given his post ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house For all the attention the Lampizator DACs attract I'm just as curious to hear their GM70 SET amplifier, it seems to be an all out serious design. Charles, | |
| Worlds best DAC As someone who used a turn table for many happy years and still hears them in the systems of friends, digital doesn't "suck" at all. I listen to music long and often and enjoy it immensely and experience much emotional involvement. I'm in jazz clu... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi Wu,Thanks for your impressions especially regarding the EML rectifier 5u4g. I have thought about it but hesitated due to the cost of them . We all hear differently as has been said many times. I really admire the Takatsuki ( that's no secret) b... | |
| The future of preamps Another thing, Consider the multitude of people who are using tube preamps with SS amplifiers and this has occurred for many years quite successfully. I believe your contact at Krell planted a needless bug of worry and anxiety. Good Luck,Charles, | |
| The future of preamps Hi Audiolabyrinth, If you heard the Atma-Sphere MP-1 I believe you'd absolutely love what it would bring to your system, I'd trust Ralph's assurances (he been doing this successfully a long while). But if you're that apprehensive maybe you should ... | |
| Worlds best DAC Bill,The Killer DAC sounds like something that I'd really enjoy. A component with one purpose, getting to the core of music's beauty, natural, realistic tone, vibrancy, harmonic richness and will convey the deep emotion of music. So much emphasis ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tas,You chose a speaker that should satisfy you for the long term. I think all Coincident speakers utilize a zobel network to ensure a pretty flat impedance across the board. | |
| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? Hi knghifi,Yes, my point as well . We don't disagree. I was actually hoping a designer/builder would come along and explain the rationale for either circuit protection option for handling a blown output tube.Charles, | |
| Replace Amp or Preamp? A used Quicksilver would be excellent and a major step up to higher level musicality and natural sound. They are very well built and exceptionally reliable. Good call Acman3.Charles, | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil That's good news Bill. The stock speaker is exceptional to begin with and makes a wonderful foundation. High quality modification/parts elevate it to the level of "superb" sound and tremendous performance /cost ratio. Lampizator-Dude-Coincident, h... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I definitely have a zobel network but it's located on the floor of the speaker cabinet along with the coil inductor. There's no capacitor on any driver other than the tweeter (5.6uf) and no resistor (except what's in the zobel network. Believe me ... |
