| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Hi Unsound,I`d agree that is an arbitrary standard for sure. I sse no correlation with sound quality and volume level ability. Many systems can be built to play loud(quite loud) and yet sound rather poor. If someone has normal hearing ability and ... | |
| Is good customer service about dead? My friend has a VAC based sytem and he gets great support from Kevin Hayes. I have a Coincident Technology based system and the support given by owner Israel Blume is simply superb. That`s two companies that I`d rate grade A in high quality produc... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Unsound I certainly accept your apology, no problems.Cal I`m glad you`re getting more out of your current Pass amp.Sometimes more power is the answer, but often I find it`s not the core problem. It`s usally higher 'quality' that`s needed.Regards, | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Isochronism you saw right through me. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Unsound,The obvious point is steve`s CJ amp drove ithe Thiel and the OP`s Pass amp apparently struggles. Among other choices perhaps he may want to at least considerThe CJ amp or something very similar based on steve`s great sonic result.Regards, | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Swampwalker,Thanks very much for your kind tube loan offer. I`ll email you. Are you using the VAC Renaissance30/30?best Regards, | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Hi Unsound,It would seem(once again) that actual performance and listening in one`s system is far more meaningful than speculation based on measurements. Steve has actually compared the CJ amp to'3' more powerful SS amplifiers and the CJ sounds be... | |
| February 27th....Happy Birthday Dexter Gordon Happy Birthday Dexter!Tanya is a classic(love the drums of Art Taylor on this cut). One of my favorites is "The Rainbow People" from the "Tower of Power" CD. This includes Barry Harris on piano and it`s just beautiful playing. "Doing Allright" and... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Isochronism,If Ivan and I can work out the details it should be both fun and educational.With the Takatsuki 300b tubes in my amplifier I`m experiencing the most pure,natural and 'realism' of sound I`ve ever had in my system. I really look forward ... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Stevecham,I find you experience interesting with the CJ amplifier.How good is the quality and control of the bass driving the Thiel woofer? what type of music? Is it possible The CJ handles the thiel better than a SS Pass amplifier? Strange things... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Hi Ivan,I`d look forward to that experience of hearing a different type of speaker. My email is charles1dad@aol.com.Regards, | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Jeff,I `ll admit to being a bit measured when describing what I hear when making comparisions.I`m cognizant of the fact that it`s only my opinion and limited to one amplifier(Coincident Frankenstein) in use. The reality is that 300b tubes vary sig... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Antigrunge,Thanks for your reply,I may try some in the near future.Montejay,That`s a very good question you raise.As I`ve said before I was very satisfied with the sound of the BT tubes.I had the fortune of listening to a pair of Western Electric ... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Raul,You seem to assume no one else has owned or listened to 'low distortion,low output impedance' and so called 'accurate' SS amplifier and ultimately found them inferior. Just because you find these types of amplifiers more neutral and accurate ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Antigrunge, What improvements do you hear with the dsmpers and which ones do you use? I know Herbie Audio Labs makes some. |
