| Lamm LL2 tweaks? Again, while I don't have the Lamm preamp, I have the M.12 hybrid amps. Each of them has its own dedicated main, a Purist Anniversary connects the main to a Transparent PowerIsolator MM and a Purist Anniversary connects the PowerIsolator to the M1... | |
| Lamm LL2 tweaks? I have Lamm M1.2 hybrid mono blocks & Ayre K-1xe preamp & Wilson Sophias. I have tried many cables, and the absolute best by far have been the Purist Anniversaries. Ridiculously expensive, but the improvements they have brought are hard to... | |
| Ayre C5xeMP - Heard & chosen over what other CDPs? 4musica44107,Genalex A2900 and Ericsson 396ANoticeably better than other comparable NOS tubes I have tried in it.Ed | |
| Ayre C5xeMP - Heard & chosen over what other CDPs? As I'm sure you are aware by now, the Ayre C5xeMP is very, very hard to beat. I have not heard the top of the line dCS or top of the line Rheimyo, and their a some others I have not heard. But the only player I have heard that arguably bettered th... | |
| Wilson Sasha's - All evolution in Wilsons are..... This is a very helpful thread for the Sashas in particular but also for the Sophias and driving them with different amps. I appreciate all of the comments.I am driving Sophia 1s with Lamm M1.2s and Ayre K-1xe preamp. Cables are Purist Anniversary.... | |
| Wilson Sasha's - All evolution in Wilsons are..... Rapogee,I've had Sophia 1s for a little over 4 years now. I love them, but I am thinking about replacing them with the Sashas.I have listened to the Sasha's a few times at my dealer's store. I have heard them with Ayre MXRs, big Krell mono blocks ... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe? Avguygeorge,Sophias and Ayre MXRs and Ayre pre are a very nice combo. I have been thru a lot of cables and the best I have found are the Purist Anniversaries (ridiculous price) and second best are the Purist Proteus Provectus (pretty good used pri... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe? Tinear1,Sorry to be late responding. Haven't checked this thread in a while. First, let me say that I have never really liked the Krell sound. It has always been too analytical for my taste. The new Krells are a big improvement, but still don't qu... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning Fuses & Ayre Thanks, guys. Can you help me on exactly which fuse to order for my K-1xe and C-5xe? I read the fuses available on the Hi Fi Tuning and Isoclean Websites and don't know which are the right ones because the nomenclature on their tubes do not match ... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe? I have had the Sophia 1 for a few years and have heard the Sophia 2s many times. I love them with my Lamm M1.2s, although I know that amp-speaker combo did not sing for Elberoth. They also sound great with Ayre mono blocks. I did not care for them... | |
| Correct fuse for Denon 5910? None of the fuses in any of my equipment state what the amperage is. To get the proper replacement fuse, I need slow blow or fast blow (fuses give me this info), size (I can measure the fuse), volts (fuses give me this info) and amperage (no info ... | |
| How would you compare Ayre to Parasound? There are high end manufacturers who equal the service and civility of Ayre, but no one exceeds it.I have no experience with Parasound, but I have heard all of the Ayre amps and they are all excellent within their respective price ranges. And yes,... | |
| Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise? Some ticks and pops seem to be due to dried out vinyl. If they persist after an LP is thoroughly cleaned, try Last to renew the vinyl. Often the ticks and pops will disappear. | |
| Heard any good hybrid amps lately? Kurt,I have not heard Jena Labs cables but have heard good things about them. It sounds like the Valhalla's are the perfect match for your Lamm 2.1s. Finding the right mix is what it's all about, especially with cables, I think. For my system, the... | |
| Heard any good hybrid amps lately? Kurt,My issue with all the Nordost cables has always been a thin sound and a bit too bright on top -- but I have not heard them with my Lamms and Ayre. I'm running mostly Purist Anniversary PCs and Purist Anniversary and Dominus Ferox on my source... |
