| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. Have you tried a more asymmetrical positioning with the two extra subs. IOW place a couple behind your speakers along the front wall, then the other two should be place along the side walls, but not symmetrical, stagger them. I have also seen arra... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mijostyn, what engine rebuild, lol, 208k miles (112k with me) and not even a recommendation of a valve job on the horizon (has had a transmission rebuild though). The clear coat is flaking off the trunk lid due to some foreign substance that drip... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mijostyn, point well taken. Other than the Turbo tie rods and the Bilstein cartridges inside the Boge struts in the back, the car is stock and I intend to keep it that way. I've owned the car for 1/3 of its life. It's not a looker and has over 20... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mcreyn, yeah Tim was interesting at first, but now it's gotten pretty old. I am a fan of Duke LeJeune's speakers having owned the Jazz Modules before finding ESL nirvana. So when he developed his Swarm I had always intended to give it a go, until... | |
| Upgrading sub to get a live feel. @mcreyn, wow really good post. I'm actually restoring my '84 911 and was thinking of adding a car stereo system, but always wondered if I could ever get something that would sound close to what I get in my home system. I have to admit I am a bit o... | |
| OTL amps, my pick for the tube used. @bobheinatz, here is what I can say at the moment. The design is past the prototype stage and a few pilot amps will be built for listening tests.These will be monoblocks with moderate power and so far have been tested on a pair of Quad 63 with gre... | |
| OTL amps, my pick for the tube used. I’ve always been interested in these which use the 6C33C but at $22k/pair they are out of my ballpark:http://www.atma-sphere.com/Products/#Novacronhttp:// | |
| OTL amps, my pick for the tube used. Those who are fans of the Futterman H3aa should keep an eye out for a new OTL designed and built by Roger Modjeski that uses the 26DQ5 which is also a sweep tube designed for very high peak currents. If I remember correctly Roger mentioned the 26D... | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? There is another thread I have been following where someone posted information about Matrix Audio Element X. I checked it out and it both the Element X and Element M look interesting. I use an Auralic Aries LE today going into my DAC but would lik... | |
| Computer to DAC Streamer @dep14, thanks for the heads up on the Element X. I see they also have the Element M as well. I'll be looking at these a bit more closely based on what I have read so far. | |
| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? I had the iFi Pro iDSD for a while. It is a nice DAC with lots of options that I appreciated. When trying to connect to my NAS the wireless streaming didn't work on IOS and worked erratically on Android. The service folks helped as best as they co... | |
| Mods/repairs to CEC TL-51 belt drive transport? Nick Gowan at True Sound in Northern, CA. is the US service center for CEC so perhaps contact him for advice. | |
| Cartridge Inspection Bay Area Tim at Tone of Music in the city might be able to help you. It certainly would be be worth a phone call. | |
| Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's The isolated 6SN7 towards the front of the amp has the least impact on sonics, in my opinion. That tube must be a GTA or GTB. I won't comment on the sonic importance of that front tube, but I will say from experience it is a very critical tube in ... | |
| McIntosh autoformers vs direct-coupled output The Acoustat direct drive amps are transformerless with solid state input and tube output. They put 5000V on the panels. I use them on my Acoustat Model 2 in place of the magnetic (transformer) interface.I have Zero’s between my Atma-Sphere’s and ... |
