| Any gemme tanto v2 owners out there? I have the Gemme Katana 2s and played them with a Bryston 2BPro and was not impressed with this amp. It had enough juice (so to speak), but nothing special. I also tried them with a EL34 based tube amp - again, wasn't overly impressed with total p... | |
| Explain Amp classes & how effects sound? Not only is this subjective in general, but varies by manufacturer, circuitry design, implementation and other aspects. You may want to go to Wikipedia or something to get a general (very general) idea on what the different amp classifications eve... | |
| Hard of Hearing Headphones for TV Okay, Elevick what I have is a Sennheiser Freeport 820 S system (you can probably do a google search and find out more). On the box it says RF wireless listening system for use with hearing aids. However, I am not sure if the additional wires for ... | |
| does it logical to invest on expensive transport? If you are going to play music from CD's the transport matters and definately affects the sound/performance. Saying differently is being dishonest or blind/deaf.That being said, one's opinion that a good transport is irrelavent due to computer aud... | |
| Hard of Hearing Headphones for TV I have something like this (wireless) that my wife won at some event (she is an audiologist so they must have something to do geared toward the hard of hearing), I'll take a closer look at them tonight when I get home. They are still in the origin... | |
| DIY Balanced Cables Drew, when you ran your magnet wires parallel, were there in close proximity/touching each other or spaced apart? | |
| connecting CD player to preampr? Well, thanks to your set-up. | |
| connecting CD player to preampr? Stanwal brings up an interesting point, I no longer see inputs labeled Mike, Sue has become a lot more common. But that goes to the popularity of Johnny Cash's song, I think. | |
| Interconnect up-grade? yeah, there has been a lot of improvements to cables in the past 15 years. Lots of new science and technology in this regard. Just as an example, they are now using Copper, Silver and yes, even sometimes both in the same cables. What a change, I c... | |
| does it logical to invest on expensive transport? Mrtennis, I have to bust your chops on that statement (good heartedly of course): "i have been told that there are number available for sale used on audiogon."what are you too lazy to actually read the listings on Agon and must rely on word-of-mou... | |
| Would adding a Dac improve the sound for my setup? Not all rooms need to be "treated". I am in my fourth room in the same house, two have needed treament and two have not. That being said, I agree 100% that if a room does need treatment, there is no better return on investment. Having just bought ... | |
| Would adding a Dac improve the sound for my setup? Rbc, it does make it tough, the Primo is a good player for small scale music. I can tell you that I went to a Resolution Audio Opus 21 w/ GNSC mods (this unit has digital inputs by the way) and for not very much more money got much better results.... | |
| does it logical to invest on expensive transport? Yes, absolutely a really good trasnport will improve performance. Absolutely no question about it. Anybody who says that it won't hasn't ever heard a good transport vs. a average one.Are hi-res digital files better than the CD? No, at best, they a... | |
| Would adding a Dac improve the sound for my setup? Ask yourself this question. Do you find that the music (sound stage) becomes compressed as the size of the music increases (more instruments) and does the sound stage become congested as you turn up the volume with larger scale recordings? However... | |
| Moving From AVR to Amp Theclam, I hear you on the lenses (I am a Canon guy - love Fred Miranda site for swapping photo stuff). Amps aren't that bad to ship (like speakers for example). I think both SA and Plinius go well with Totem. But I would check some of the Totem t... |
