| 6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times Hi Sabai,They`re very different and I read ST from time to time. I prefer the 6 Moons approach and look forward to reading their reviews and features. We just have different preferences.Regards, | |
| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? Atamasphere`s suggestion for using one good quality amplifier makes the most sense.Bi amping seems to create potential matching problems that can easily be avoided.Regards, | |
| 6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times I really enjoy the 6 Moons reviews and don`t find them difficult or confusing to read. They do have their own style no question, use of metaphors and examples abound,no problem for me. I appreciate their consistent willingness to directly compare ... | |
| balanced vs. unbalanced sound quality Egrady,You are right, the true is either type of cable may be the better solution depending on the system`s make up.In certain configurations the RCA cables will be equal or better in sound quality. Audiofeil was right in saying it really does dep... | |
| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? Agree,There`s no logical reason/benefit to biamp the Tannoy speaker.Regards, | |
| Best 2-way room friendly speakers Hi Cdc,I`m not certain your description concerning crossover types is right.Likely implementation is very significant.My Coincident speakers are 1st order designs that with most recordings completely disappear in my room. There`s no clue or sense ... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Phillip.One point I should mention is the the Coincident can be ordered with either 10 or 20 db of gain. I initially had the 20db gain version which was too much(my amplifiers are sensitive,0.7v, also speakers are 94 db sensitive/1 watt). I exchan... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Whart,I see you`re using the Veloce linestage, I`ve read stellar reports about its performance.There`s no single best or perfect preamp but there`re certainly some great choices available these days.Regards, | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Hi Phillip,Whart makes a very good point,at this level much of what you hear is dependent on other system components. I`m glad you were able to hear the Coincident,I find it sublime in my system yet nothing will ever be without some relative compr... | |
| Pass or First Watt Hi Ischronism, Thanks for the kind comment. Last year at RMAF I had the chance to hear the Wavelength Cardinal driving Vaughn speakers. Not only did they sound excellent in that room, those cardinals were dead quiet. Those arevery nice 300b amplif... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Phillip,The qualities that you list are the extraordinary strengths of the Coincident linestage. The ability to resolve and reveal very subtle and low level detail yet remain completely organic and pure in character is quite the feat.Tone quality,... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I placed my order with Parts ConeXion.com. | |
| Pass or First Watt Thanks Bob,It`d be a lot of fun to hear your amp with a premium level 2A3 such as the EML vs the First Watt SIT-1.Hope the opprotunity happens for you.Regards, | |
| After Blackgates... which caps are best for Audio? I don`t believe Duelund is a "film" capacitor as mentioned above.To my understanding they`re pure metal foil and PIO(paper in oil) for the VSF and CAST versions. Not sure about their lower cost Alexander caps. The main obstacle to using Duelund is... | |
| Pass or First Watt Bob,What are your current speakers?There`re a number of 2A3 amps available, which amp and what brand/type 2A3 tube do you have? I understand EML makes an excellent mesh and solid plate 2A3.Thanks, |
