| Cary v12 vs. Vac 80/80 vs. Music Reference RM-9 I've had/have amps from all 3 manufacturers and owned both the RM-9 and V12i. The V12 will give you that classic Cary house sound with the lush (some might say syrupy) midrange. It certainly is a very flexible amp as well.The RM-9, while a fine am... | |
| Amp for lightspeed attenuator? = $1000 used Be patient and wait for a used Music Reference RM-10 MkII to come up for sale. You won't be sorry. | |
| Has anyone actually bought a Zesto Phono preamp? We used this phono preamp in our room at THE SHOW Las Vegas. The rest of the system was our own Electra-Fidelity A3-500 300B monoblocks and OTL preamp, Fritz Carbon 7 Speakers, Resolution Audio Cantata, and Denon DP-3000 turntable completely refur... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? But with that ability, my question is then, why do so many recording's sound so crappy?.Simple, laziness or incompetence. That combined with a new generation that prefers lossy and/or compressed files where quality is not a priority, but convenien... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The Atlas monoblock is 3.1V to full power so I'm assuming Bill has the stereo version which is 2.3V. That should pose no issues for the LSA IMO.The gain stage in the amp is tube driven. Output stage would appear to be solid state. The amp does dou... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi George, no I have two dual mono versions. The other one you sold to my friend here locally is also dual mono. So unfortunately I cannot make a comparison, unless of course Pubul57 wants to lend me his for a bit, that is if he can live without i... | |
| Is there any truth to this question? The RM-10 is one of the best value amplifiers in production. The 35 watts was enough for the designer to use not only with Vandersteen's, but his Quad 57's and his own brand of ESL speakers. It is quite a versatile amp as it can be "light" loaded ... | |
| GNSC has closed . . . For those not aware Steve Huntley is now the Sales & Marketing Director for Resolution Audio. I never had an opportunity to deal with him at GNSC, but I'm confident he will provide outstanding support to dealers and customers in his new role. ... | |
| IC Failure Did you try doing a continuity test with a volt meter on the cable? This will tell you if there is a short. It's possible and it's happened to me with a set of cables. | |
| Best new audio cables at a reasonable cost. I can hear them too. In fact mine are always screaming at me to get the carpet out from on top of them and to stop running the vacuum over them. Bunch of little cry babies with a low threshold of pain. | |
| Is there any truth to this question? Have you thought about trying a buffered preamp to eliminate gain in the preamp stage and give you more control over the volume range? Buffers from Pass, Burson, Dodd, or Horn Shoppe could work nicely with your YBA amp and they are very reasonably... | |
| Is there any truth to this question? Last time I visited with Roger he was using the RM-10 to power his 74 dB ESL loudspeakers. We were listening at a very moderate level in his room and there were no hiccups coming from that amp that I could hear. Sometimes you can be surprised by a... | |
| Need efficient floor-stander for 2a3 Tonian speakers would be a nice fit for a 2A3. We ran the TL-D1's with a 2 watt 45 amp at THE SHOW 2011 and they were outstanding. Yes they can be a little bright but some of that comes from improper set-up, as well as what you might be feeding he... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Well even at it's price point I guess not everyone can afford to own the best preamp ever:) | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Talk about pride of ownership;). I will give both my LSA's a hug today. |
