| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Hi Brownsfan,No surprise with the power cords, so much of audio is trial and error. I took the easy way out and use the Coincident cord and as to be expected it is a very good match.Regards, | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Mikha65,The reviewer thoroughly captured the essence of the CSL.Reusing the term "natural" several times (as well as holistic and organic). Comparing so closely with the 45, 000 dollar Viola line stage (which the reviewer considers a creme de la c... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Mikha65,Thanks for posting this,I`ll read it later tonight.Given my long term joy with the CSL, I`m always happy when it gets some well deserved exposure. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Keith,Agree, the VAC REN 30/30(class A DHT) would be a better choice than the larger VAC(class AB IDHT) for the DEF IV type of speaker(load and sensitivity). | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp Attempting to make tube amps more compatible to drive certain speakers could potentially result in a loss of their instrinsic "sonic attributes". | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp Bifwynne,Good post.Why should the burden be on amplifier designers to build larger,more complex and expensive models in order to manage these inefficient and difficult to drive speakers?That`s putting the cart before the horse.Bombaywalla`s point ... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp This thread is very educational and thought provoking and comments here are well informed. It really asks the obvious question, why on earth do we have such a high number of these roller coaster impedance speakers? What is their upside. Does it tr... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp Bifwynne,I have zero interest in any speaker war scenario, we all have our individual taste and there`s no point in taking that any further. I thought Bombaywalla`s opinion on speaker design-engineering choice/compromise was worthwhile and logical... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp Bombaywalla,I appreciate your perspective and input.It does seem the existence of high power SS amps can allow certain speaker faults to be some what masked by applying brute force as a remedy.Regards, | |
| Sophia Electric 91-01 and 91-5 300B Hi Dan,You have much more experience with Tannoys that I do. Are some models of them easier to drive than others? You and Jeff Day have fine results with your particular models,is the Turnberry in this catagory also?Charles, | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp Why are there speakers designed with widely fluctuating impedances and steep phase angles in the first place? Why is there not more of an effort to build speakers with flatter impedance curves and gentler phase angles? Is the availablility of many... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learlsfool, That explanation really Cleared up a lot of questions I`ve always had regarding the ability of jazz musicians to play so many different songs.I have seen on "rare" occasions where a requested song was not able to be played.I appreciate... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I suspect a classical musician would be equally out of their element if asked to sit in with a group in a jazz venue. Two diiferent disciplines.Neither a piece of cake.Like pro athletes,a NBA player and NFL player would`nt automatically fill the o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool,I understand the point Opheus10 is making. My passion is definitely jazz but I respect all skilled and talented musicians. Do classical musicians also improvise Learsfool? I`d like your perspective.It fascinates me when jazz musicians pl... | |
| Current amp vs Voltage amp Al,As always I appreciate your patient and clear explanations. What you eloquently describe is born out with simply listening. Either tube or SS amplifiers will be the best choice depending on the particular driven speaker's design characteristics... |
