| Atma Sphere S30 amp Paul, I think I am light loading the RM-10 MkII. My speakers are 12 ohm nominal (no lower than 8 ohm dip) and I'm using the 8 ohm tap. Wouldn't this be the equivalent of using the 4 ohm tap on 8 ohm speakers?Right now I'm leaning towards selling t... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp You just helped me make a decision I was struggling with. The S-30 was used in the voicing of my speakers, so I've been wanting to try one. Now I definitely will. The S-30 would be my third tube amp, along with a Music Reference RM-10 MkII and VAC... | |
| Long ICs versus long speaker cables Well I can't imagine the price tag on the Purist cable, but maybe you should do yourself a favor and see if you can try some OCOS cable. These are only made for speaker connections and are well known to be suitable for use in long lengths. I use a... | |
| JRDG Capri vs. Parasound JC-1 Seems like you have the synergy thing going with JRDG. Personally, I'd open up the JC-2 and give it a listen anyway, but maybe in your case leaving well enough alone is better. | |
| JRDG Capri vs. Parasound JC-1 The Capri is a lot of preamp for the money. Slightly warm (found this out after comparing to a passive preamp), but in my system very good frequency extension and balance. Never compared it to a JC-2. | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? The Clio 9 is finished and in the system breaking in. Early returns are favorable. This design requires a bit more attention to impedance matching than other TVC designs, but the benefits are very easily heard. | |
| Tape Project Tapes I want to make a correction to a prior post. The Arnold Overtures arrived today. It was the David Oistrakh/London Symphony Orchestra: Horenstein-Hindemith that I may have gotten the last copy of. Still waiting for Bill Evans, Mose Allison, and Exo... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more The Tonian TL-D1 that everyone considers a bargain, have a frequency response of 42Hz-40KHz. Limited bass response."Yes the specs indicate that and I would say they are accurate. I would also say that with proper placement and adjustment of the ba... | |
| Tape Project Tapes I'm hoping Bill Evans if the one that is waiting for me when I get home.BTW - I did a pick six from the first series, even though 3 of the selections I was not familiar with. The second series really didn't capture my attention as much (save the J... | |
| What cables to replace Highwire's with? I do read reviews and have a few writers whose opinions I respect, but experience (and a somewhat expensive one at that) and the fact that the reviews are not ocurring with my system, in my room, and with my ears, has shown me there are solutions ... | |
| Tape Project Tapes Just received my first two, including what may have been the last copy of the Arnold Overtures. Have a third arriving tomorrow. Three more after that, all from the first series. I'm looking forward to listening to them this weekend. | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more The Tonian TL-D1 is an interesting design. Think of it as a single driver wannabe, but with super tweeter and very simple crossover. I had been wanting to try these for 4 years (up until recently they listed for $1750) and found a great deal on a ... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more Audiokinesis Jazz ModulesTonian Labs TL-D1Cain & Cain AbbeysI own the first two pairs, would love to own a pair of the third someday. | |
| What cables to replace Highwire's with? Spending more money does not necessarily give you an equivalent cost/benefit sound improvement. Try cables from people that offer trial periods so you can compare and evaluate. Some that I have had good experiences with are Grover Huffman, Chimera... | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Rrog, there are quite a few people who chimed in here whose experience and opinions I trust. As with Pubul57, I can say for a fact the man has tried a number of different components and if he prefers active preamps so be it. I myself have tried a ... |
