| Crazy? Lamm ML2/ML2.1 on Avalon Eidolon? Some very nice points in this thread. I have not had the privelege of hearing the Lamm Amps, but I have owned Avalon Eidolon speakers. I was immediately struck by the fact that the Eidolon's character was unchanged at any volume level. This was ra... | |
| B&W 802 S3 losing snare drum snap Wil,I have owned some adcom amps before. You may want to pop the cover and check the fuses on the outputs. There should be some fuses on each of the ouput transistor boards. Use a meter and check for continuity across the fuse. As best as I can re... | |
| B&W 802 S3 losing snare drum snap Without knowing your system this is a near impossible diagnosis. If you have a tube based system, one of the first signs of a retube are a loss of dynamics. So if you have any tubed electronics I would try retubing unit(s). Also, I would check por... | |
| Problems with blown fuses on Conrad CAV 50 ? Marc,Souds like you have a bad tube. Mine usually blew when powering up the amp. Try retubing the unit and see if that solves the problem.Johnny | |
| Atma-Sphere amps with Eggleston Andra II's Bill,I would have to agree with Jtinn on this issue. The AS amps are great, but Dynaudio drivers tend to like Solid State amps that are High Current. | |
| What happened to my Rowland? 1. Check the obvious fixes: Rear rocker switch, loose wires, blown fuses. Tape loops engaged. etc...2. Try hooking up the amp at a friends house or an alternate system.3. Tear down the whole system and rewire the system again. | |

| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige Cics,Just as a follow up. The unit may have been damaged in transit. I have heard of PC boards being cracked during shipping. The Manufacturer will be able to investigate the unit and evaluate the problem. Point being the fault may not lie at the ... | |
| Advice on popping noise from Audio Aero Prestige Cics,I have worked in Audio Retail for many years and this problem will not simply go away. The unit has some kind of defect. You should have your dealer send the unit back IMMEDIATELY. If he does not contact the U.S. distributor for Audio Aero an... | |
| Sony SCD-1 vs Musical Fidelity Tri Vista Baffled,I have owned both and here are my impression. The Sony SCD-1 has a much quieter background and has a more clinical and sterile sound. It does nothing wrong, mind you, just in comparison to the Trivista the sony sounds a bit digital soundin... | |
| Given Avalon Eidleon is considered one of the best I have had Thiel 7.2, Eggleston Andra, Dynaudio C5, Temptation, B&W and some others. None of them gave me as much satisfaction as the Avalons. I am trying to get the scratch for some Avalon Eidolon Diamonds!! | |
| Q. on shootout between time/phase coherent speaker I echo what Arthur has said. Phase/Time coherent speakers are typically tricky to set up. Minute adjustments can yield dramatic results. It can be maddening, but once dialed in they reproduce a clarity hard to ignore. In addition, P/T speakers are... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 5 or Premier 12 for ML I have owned both and the lush midrange of the Premier 5's should mate perfectly with the ML CLS's. The Premier 12's are fine amplifiers and have thier own virtues but I far prefer the more polished sound of the Premier 5 to the 12.JMHO,John | |
| Rowlands vs. Levinson Amps. Hello,I currently own the Rowland 201's. They are great amps and for the price a downright steal. Prior to these amps I had a pair of Levinson 33H's. I have heard other Levinson amps as well. I find the Rowland to be slightly tilted to the yin sid... | |
| Best speaker cables for Thiel CS2.4 speakers Cardas speaker cables are a nice match for the Thiel's the higher up the better. |
