| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. Truemaineiac,I bet your Devore -Shindo based system sounds marvelous and very involving( as well as quiet). Charles, | |
| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? I suspect the Pass Labs XA30.5 Would be a good match with the 90 db sensitive Proac Speaker. It's 4 ohm nomlnal load shouldn't be a problem for this highly regarded SS amplifier. I don't believe that the Proac is considered to be a hard/difficult ... | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. Chayro,Thanks for your flattering comments and I always appreciate your insightful contributions on this site. I attempt to be helpful if I may possibly have something to offer someone else. Many on audiogon have been kind and helpful to me.Charles, | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. Thegoodarcher,Hi, I have no interest or motivation in persuading you toward using a tube amplifier. You've decided that SS amplification works best for you and that's a major step to reaching your goal. My comment was only regarding your experienc... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Bill,You've certainly paid your dues with time, effort and curiosity put into a computer source system. It's gratifying to know you've been rewarded with superb results and ever increasing musical pleasure. Congratulations on your success. Charles, | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. I've heard/ read fine comments about both the Silverback and Orangutan models and a direct comparison would be much fun. Choice could be determined by the particular amplifier match.Charles, | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. Truemaineac,Amplifier power ratings can be misleading. Oldgrey's 8 watt Shindo Cortese llikely has better transformers and stiffer power supply than the 15 watt Shindo Apetite and thus more grunt and drive for speaker loads.For example my 8 watt S... | |
| Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference. Thegoodarcher,I don't know what tube amplifiers you've been using but something's amiss if you had hissing, pops and clicks. I've used/ owned numerous tube amps and that was never an issue under any circumstances. My current SET amp is one of the ... | |
| Poor man's Rockport Atrias? Hi Tboooe,Remember, " Trying not to be an audiophile" Good Luck.Charles, | |
| The future of preamps Swamp, you speak for many of us on this site in regards to Al.Charles, | |
| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? I believe Salectric's point is very valid. Many tube amplifiers are available that when a tube fails it blows a fuse and that's it. This is much simpler and less expensive than having to replace a resistor (s) or in some cases a circuit board. I d... | |
| The future of preamps Vicdamone and Grannyring (Bill), here's another vote. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Bill,Even with those stock parts the sound quality is at a very high level. From personal experience I can confidentially say the Duelunds elevate this speaker to world class natural sound. I'm preaching to the choir I realize. My speaker has onl... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Hi Bill,I found it interesting that you could use such low power (1.5-3.5 watts) at all with your Coincidents, I'm impressed. I can see where your Thor amplifier would serve you very well. I would say a 300b or a 845 SET with high quality power su... | |
| The future of preamps Grannyring,I know you've tried various configurations of direct source-amplifier and also passive components. It appears your ears lead you back to quality active line stages. You must have recognized that something vital was missing musically/emo... |
