| TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP I was a TRL owner in the past when it was just Paul and his brother Brian working together. I had modifications done to digital gear and owned both a solid state preamp and amplifier. Paul was one of the good guys in audio throughout his time and ... | |
| Tube amp forethought Roger Modjeski used the QUAD as his load when designing that amp. We still use a Quad 57 in the shop today when we test amps we build or repair. If the 57s in question have the Zener clamp boards (an upgrade as they were not supplied at the factor... | |
| Music Reference RM-200 We don't brand the Gold Lion KT-88s so those could have possibly come from us. We brand the Chinese KT-88s. I'm pretty sure our 6BQ7s are Sylvania but we brand them as well.One way to determine how well balanced the output tubes are is to take a v... | |
| Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet? @grannyring, is the Aqua S2/S3 capacitor coupled on the output. I am interested in this DAC but in general I am looking for a DAC with direct coupled outputs. | |
| Music Reference RM-200 I've used an Atma-Sphere MP-3 with the RM-200. Both units are fully differential from input to output which is an added benefit. I really don't know of another preamp that is fully balanced like the MP-3 but others might have recommendations there... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Well there is the display factor to consider with risers, but I always picture someone tripping over the elevated wire, yanking the connections from components or speakers, or worse yet dragging a component off the rack or a speaker off a stand. | |
| Music Reference RM-200 The original can be sent in and brought up to Mk.2 status in every way except for the capacitor forming capability.No it can't. I was never aware of the upgrade, Roger never speaks of it these days, and if they were done in the past they aren't go... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution I don't run equal lengths of cables to any of my woofers. Instead I cut to the length required for each woofer. I also don't worry about stepping on the cables while they are under the carpet. Do your own testing with cable risers, etc. I don't fi... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution I use 16 AWG zip cord for my cables. I run them along the walls and under the carpet (8 x 10 Persian rug) to keep them out of the way. Works just fine for me. | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 @bdp24, interesting I didn't know that about the 57s. I will look into the Rhythmik subs. | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 Gradient made dipole subs for the ESL 63. Here is an article from Robert E. Greene discussing the set up:http://www.regonaudio.com/Gradient%20SW-63%20Subwoofer.html | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution I've been using 4 small enclosures with 8" drivers in my room for a while. The low pass is EQed to 30 Hz, but not digitally. The concept came from the old Beveridge 2SW and it's RM-3 active crossover. Today I just built the first of 4 boxes with a... | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 I have the 57s but have spent some significant time with the 63s as well. Overall I prefer the 57s, but I use a set of stands to raise them up a bit to improve the image height. While I use a woofer array and active crossover to biamp in my system... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Since James Romeyn (DEBRA) and Duke LeJeune (Swarm) are friends and work together on projects I would say these two systems probably sound more similar (if not the same) than different. If you note, both set ups use the same bass amp/active crosso... | |
| Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore? You can add the Beveridge RM-3 to the list. Designed by Roger Modjeski of Music Reference when he worked at Beveridge Audio. The active crossover was part of the RM-1, RM2, RM-3 system that linked with the built in OTL amps of the Beveridge 2SW sp... |
