| Coincident with 8 ohm vs16 ohm I have heard the TEs used with quite a few tube amps including ASL Hurricanes, Canary 339, VAC 30/70 and 70/70, Manley Retros and Neo Classics. The TEs have always sounded excellent with all these amps, regardless of whether they were driven from ... | |
| Need help to trouble shoot the noisy amp. Do you hear this noise through the speakers or is it just the amp (tranformer(s)) buzzing. If the former, it is almost always associated with a ground loop. If the later, it could be the transfomer but more likely it is a bad capacitor in the powe... | |
| Best monitor for under $1500? I don't know if there is such as thing as 'best monitor' but I am very happy with my Reference 3A DeCapo-i's. Now, whether you could find a pair for $1500 or less is another matter. | |
| best speakers for vocals? The original Quad 57s. Nothing else, except maybe the big Soundlabs or the Beveridge, come even close. | |
| Anyone here using Bent Audio MU MC into Modulus 3a yes, that's it. | |
| Anyone here using Bent Audio MU MC into Modulus 3a No! The latest I heard was made 1999. I believe there have been improvements since then but I do not know how extensive they are or the improvements they make. | |
| Anyone here using Bent Audio MU MC into Modulus 3a The K & K phono stage only comes in one standard version, although Kevin Karter can customize the disign to some extent. This phono stage has both mm and mc capability and it also provides 3 or 4 load settings for mc cartridges. It cost about ... | |
| Anyone here using Bent Audio MU MC into Modulus 3a I used the AI M3A with the built in Gold MC phono board for about 5 years. I thought it was quite good at the time. I then moved to an integrated amp and purchased the K & K Audio phono stage. Without question, this phono stage is a big step u... | |
| Speakers for Marantz 7 & 8B I can definitely recommend that Quad 57's. I have heard the Quads with the Marantz gear many times and it is wonderful. If you want something a little more modern and readily available, try a pair of the Reference 3A DeCapo-i's. | |
| Trimax 807 tube monoblocks I used the TriMax in my system for about 8 years. I only used them in triode configuration and they were excellent. They are also extremely reliable and the 807 tubes last forever - they are transmission tubes and very rugged. I only got rid of my... | |
| BEST monitor speaker with a 90db senitivity rating I agree with the suggestion of the DeCapos. I have been driving mine with a KR Enterprise BSI 18 amp, 15 wpc, and the sound is exceptionally good. The DeCapos do take a little care to set up correctly and match to a good amp but, in my experience,... | |
| Subwoofers I used the Vandy subs in my system for a number of years and they were certainly excellent for augmenting the bass. The one problem I had with this sub was that it placed a crossover directly in the signal path. Even though I used Vandy's highest ... | |
| What speakers match well with Atma Sphere? I second Sdatch's recommendation of the Partial Eclipse. I prefer the Coincident's Eclipse line to the Victory line but it is a matter of taste. If you are patient, you may be able to get a Super Eclipse within your price range. This is a great sp... | |
| Is There A Moveable Base To Easily Voice Speakers? I had a similar problem and I ended up placing my spiked speaker stands on 2" thick butcher blocks (cutting boards). I bought the boards at a kitchen supply store for about $25 each. I can slide the speakers around easily on the carpeted floor and... | |
| Looking for new speakers A friend of mine has a room with the same dimensions as your's and he is using the Super Eclipse III. His associated equipment is a CJ 17LS2, Bryston 4BSST, VPI Aries I/Graham/Benz M2. The sound is very good. Very dynamic and with excellent bass. ... |
