| I've narrowed it down... Yes the Atma-Sphere S-30 was used in the voicing of Audiokinesis designs, but IIRC so was NuForce. Duke happens to be a dealer for both brands so he certainly had access to each. My reasons for recommending these speakers is really about the flexi... | |
| Music Servers-Why so few? I heard a demo of the Lessloss Laminar Streamer at RMAF. It is very promising IMO. Not sure where it will fall price wise though. | |
| I've narrowed it down... If you are willing to commit to a new pair of speakers, are you willing to spend $2700 for a set that are flexible enough to be used with tube (SET, PP, OTL) or solid state amps, and still sound outstanding? That can handle a wide range of power o... | |
| What is the best transport? I have to say it took me a while, and for many of the reasons mentioned here by those who still favor the transport/DAC set-up. There was a time I was pretty overwhelmed with the various computer audio options. I happen to have what I consider to ... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? A set of VAC PA-90 amps just came up for sale. Just under a 100 watts. I'm sure they will have that glorious VAC house sound. Might be worth looking into:http://app.audiogon.com/listings/461887 | |
| Best speaker in the $5-10K range. Details below. You should look into Audiokinesis speakers as well. | |

| Cardas Speaker placement.. If you are willing to put some time into this try the Sumiko Master Set method for speaker placement. Another option is the Audio Physics method that is best used with the long wall placement suggested by Nvp. Your room appears both wide and deep ... | |
| Cable help for my AtmaSphere S-30 OTL Amp - Please With the Atma-Sphere S-30 the front row of 6SN7 tubes will have the most influence on the sound. I use Raytheon VT-231 tubes in this position. You could also experiment with the back row of tubes as well, but to me it is a less significant influen... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Al, if the voltage output of the battery and wall wart power supplies are both 12VDC does that change anything in your last post? | |
| Shakti Stone On-lines Agree with Sksos1, the Shakti Stones worked for me, not so much the on-lines. | |
| Impedance or sensitivity? In my opinion the impedance curve is more important. We had an opportunity to exhibit at THE SHOW in Las Vegas with FritzSpeakers. The Carbon 7's are 87dB sensitive. One would think this would not be a good match for a 300B zero feedback SET amp r... | |
