| Can Music Reference MR9 drive Tannoy DMT 215 II I would be surprised if the RM-9 were the source of the noise but as previously mentioned the sensitivity of your speakers will let more noise through. An easy test is to get a set of shorting plugs and put them on the inputs of the amp. Then turn... | |
| Can Music Reference MR9 drive Tannoy DMT 215 II Roger Modjeski measured my old RM-9 on his bench and we could easily see it was putting out close to 125 watts per side. That should be more than enough for what appears to be very efficient speakers. | |
| Character of EL-84 amps Where do you live. I may be able to assist. | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry I for one am definitely not sorry I stumbled upon this thread :) | |
| Cables ... what's up with them? Contact the Cable Company as they have a loaner program and will let you audition a number of cables for a nominal fee. When you are done you just return them. If you happen to like any you auditioned they can sell you what you need. Also, there a... | |
| Character of EL-84 amps River251,In addition to the RM-10 I have heard the Snapper and Leben. The Leben was quite nice, the Snapper okay, but something about the RM-10 just clicked for me. Not to mention a used RM-10 MkII at around $1000 is a lot of amp for the money IMO... | |
| Character of EL-84 amps I would not buy into the theory that the EL-84 is lighter, airier, and more delicate in sound than those other tubes you mentioned. I have owned both a Music Reference RM-9 and RM-10 and while the RM-10 has about a third of the power of it's EL-84... | |
| Forty bucks well spent.... I tried this product years ago. While others might find it useful, IMO it is nothing to write home about. | |
| Spendors comparable to Harbeth C7ES3? The suggestion on the Spendor classic series is a good one. I was a long time Spendor owner and have has 3/1 (still own them), 7/1, and 1/2e. I have also heard Harbeth and always preferred the Spendor's to them. Try to locate a user pair of 1/2e s... | |
| Music Reference RM Mono? Jim, I regret to inform you that Paul recently passed away. As a friend and fellow RM-10 owner Paul and I have had many conversations about this amp and his speakers. I will send you an email and perhaps I can assist you. | |
| Speakers for Resolution Audio Cantatas I do not have both units, but I have the Cantata digital player that I run directly into my Atma-Sphere s-30 amp. The speakers I use are the Audikinesis Jazz Modules. I am not sure where you live but if it is in the US I would recommend looking in... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Great news George. To celebrate the award I gave my Lightspeed a hug today. | |
| Best songs played by non-author artists... While A Day in the Life is a great cover, Jeff Beck's cover of Over the Rainbox I saw him perform live was much better. | |
| Rrog... thank you for the polish info... speakers? You will enjoy the Rev 5 speakers and your amps have more than enough power to drive them. My company has been sharing a room with Fritz for the last couple of audio shows and I have spent extensive time listening to your speakers as well as the C... | |
| Best songs played by non-author artists... We regularly play the Zappa version of Whipping Post in our room at the audiophile shows. I think one of my all time favorites though is the version of Ballad of Easy Rider done by Fairport Convention that appears on one of my favorite recordings,... |
