| Best Class A amp with SLAM Agree,If Krell suits you best, that's the choice to make. | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo I'm not surprised by the many positive comments here regarding the Crescendo speakers. At CES earlier this year the system/room with these speakers were among the absolute top sounding in the entire show. I heard many speaker-systems that were 3-6... | |
| XLR to RCA Adapter Dilemma Agree with Elizabeth's point, actual use (practical application) is the final determinant. Rlb61 you were right to trust what you heard and not what theory would predict as the outcome. In general I subscribe to "simpler is better" but readily ack... | |
| Advice people with lamm amp experience RW,Good advice, if very happy with your current Lamm amplifier why change? It seems a large degree of audiophile angst is due to not leaving well enough alone and just appreciating/enjoying your music. Fine tune what you have and optimize your cur... | |
| Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects Agree with Hifial, the less tampering and moving of the High Fidelity cable the better. This cable doesn't lend itself to swapping in and out for quick comparisons. | |
| Where do the tubes go? Newbee,We are all just sharing our individual experiences which surely will differ. Amp- speaker match is of course a factor, but this applies to "all amplifiers" not just tube models. Any solid state amp just can`t be tossed into a system without... | |
| Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects Paz307, Your post is an example of why you have to try something in your system to really know what you`ll hear. My deep appreciation for the HF CT1 E and U version is due to the emotional involvement they provide in my system, superb! The sense o... | |
| Where do the tubes go? I believe the talk about tube amplifier maintenance is often over stated. They are actually quite simple to own based on my ownership of various models the past 20 years. My current 300b SET amp has been utterly a piece of cake to have and is fuss... | |
| Where do the tubes go? Dan, that was very well said and I agree with your thoughts concerning SET amplifiers. In my experience tube power amps contribute a greater change than just going with a tube preamp(though this is not a bad choice by any means). Get a speaker tha... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE I do not view Kiddman as troll in any sense, he simply does not care for Magico, I understand his perspective. Some listeners love them and some do not care for them,it is really just that simple. You like them and that is your choice(which is per... | |
| What is the missing element? Technical talk is enlightening but sound quality is the final determiner of what is the superior signal route. Ears trump theory. I'd love to be able to hear and compare Steve's best USB based effort vs Cerrot's best sound card implementation side... | |
| SET amps ? Jazz,1)The Raysonic is a parallel SET 18 watts per channel and use three el34 per channel and was favorably reviewed by 6 Moons.2)The Coincident is 8 watt SET using the el34 (very simple).3)The Dared uses a 2A3 tube which is a pure DHT (I'm favora... | |
| SET amps ? Jazzman463,With your smaller room and criteria you listed I think the Coincident Dynamo SET would be a very good solution and it fits your price range. | |
| SET amps ? Tubegroover,The prototype 845 Berning sounds potentially special when you consider the merits of the builder. There are folks on audiogon with more knowledge about 845 SET amplifiers than me. One in particular is 213 cobra (Phil) he has extensive ... | |
| What is the missing element? Al and Steve, Thanks for your explanations and technical expertise. I have to confess that Cerrot makes an interesting case, is this convenience/ universal use(USB) vs ultimate sound quality(SPDIF sound card). Historically sometimes "better" loses... |
