| Where to buy racks? Silent Running Audio CRAZ racks. Expensive but the best if you value silent black backgrounds, low level detail you never heard before, and wide 3D soundstage. You will pass them down to the next generation. Also have very high WAF. Beautiful work... | |
| Has anyone compared Ayre K-1xe to ARC Ref 3 or VTL Hi all,Thanks for the your info and suggestions.Re Calliston Signature -- this would be the best in my opinion, but only accepts 2 balanced inputs. They rarely come up on Audiogon and even more rarely have the remote control which I can't do witho... | |
| Heat issue with Lamm M1.2 Reference Yes, Tim, the switches are both in the 4 Ohm position and my Wilson Sophias are 4 Ohms.I'm going to shut them down now, let them cool off and later today replace the tubes, then try them again. If that does not work, I'll call Lamm on Monday.Thank... | |
| Heat issue with Lamm M1.2 Reference Interesting observations. Thanks, Arthur and Tim.Ed | |
| Virtual Dynamics original Master Series Adhaney,Soon, I will have had my SRA Craz racks and SRA Ohio Class IsoBASES for my Lamms for a year and my wife and I could not be happier with the sound and the picture from our system.I recently replaced my old Pioneer DVD player with an Exempla... | |
| Unhappy with tubes so which transistor amp? I second Kurt Tank's recommendation for Lamm hybrid mono blocks. I have had a pair of Lamm M1.2s (110 watts each) for a year now and would not want to give them up for anything else. They would make an amazing system with your other equipment.Ed | |
| Wilson owners Call of Duty Hi Khrys,I didn't go all the way with any brand after the TA because I wanted to try different brands in my system over an extended period. With PCs I was already at the top of the TA line, and I didn't go further up the TA line in ICs & SCs b... | |
| Wilson owners Call of Duty Hi all,I have a pair of Wilson Sophias (not 2s unfortunately) driven by Lamm M1.2 hybrid mono blocks. Preamp is Ayre K-1xe. Sources are Ayre C-5xe and SME 20/2 / Graham Phantom / Dyanvector XV-1S / Aesthetix Io Signature.I started with 100% Transp... | |
| Virtual Dynamics original Master Series I agree with you about the VD ICs and SCs. I don't know which Ayre component you have. My digital rig is an Ayre C-xe. My analog is an SME 20/2 with Graham Phantom, Dynavector XV-1S and Aesthetix Io Signature with NOS tubes. My preamp is an Ayre K... | |
| Ayre C-5XE universal v. CX-7e on redbook CDs? I listened to both players, as well as the Linn universal players and one of the Meridians off and on at my dealer's for about a year before I finally parted with the money to purchase the C-5xe.If it were not for SACDs (you have even more than I ... | |
| Amp on SRA Ohio XL.. still use additional footers? Adhaney,Tim is great, but talk to Kevin just for the experience. He will have a conniption fit if you use any other devices with an Ohio. You are in for a real treat when you get your Ayre on an Ohio set up for it.Ed | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. Barry,My feeling exactly!Ed | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. This is a more interesting thread because it focuses on whether the extra cost and labor required for a performance vinyl system is worth the result, rather than whether analog or digital sounds better.For me and my wife, we want and use both. Fra... | |
| SRA or Symposium? Chris,I have not had access to a Symposium. Previously, I had several less than state-of-the-art isolation systems. Frankly, none were very good.After months of research last year, including to talking to several designer-makers, I decided on SRA.... | |
| Dynavector XV1s loading & phono David,Like Fmpnd, I use an Aesthetix Io Signature phono stage, but my table/arm is an SME 20/2 with Graham Phantom arm. I'm running Io gain wide open with 100 ohm loading on the XV-1s. The sound is wonderful, and I have never had any problems with... |
