| FOCAL CHORUS 716 V or Thiel 1.5 ? Mati...does your 35wpc tube amp have a 4ohm tap in the back? Thiel recommends 50-150wpc but Sam Tellig, in his review of the speaker (you can find it in Stereophile's archives), ran it with a 20wpc tube amp with decent results. But his tube amp ha... | |
| FOCAL CHORUS 716 V or Thiel 1.5 ? with your tube amp @ 35wpc, you need the high sensitivity of the Focal speakers. The Thiel is not a good match | |
| CLOCK UPGRADE I have not upgraded the clock on my player but I remembered seeing a review on this clock mod/upgrade that may be of interest to you: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue46/terra_firma_lite.htmHope it helps. | |
| Should I Try a Tube Preamp? Good luck Ken. I think you are on the right track. :-) Let us know how you make out with the new speakers. Take care. | |
| Will Thiel 3.7 Outriggers work on other speakers? I think the Thiel outriggers (for 1.6, 2.4 amd 3.7) are purposely built for the dimensions of those speakers. However, this may do the job for your Adagios: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue46/zeeba.htm | |
| Budget Speaker Recommendation? Dewey...what's the power output on the Onkyo receiver. Just want to know if you need relatively sensitive speakers or not. Let us know model # and power output on your receiver. Thx | |
| Budget Speaker Recommendation? What amplification will you be using? | |
| VPI Scout Rear Stub Measurement Have you tried calling VPI Dodgealum? They may be able to give you the exact measurements fairly quickly. Just a thought. Good luck with the XX2MkII when it arrives. | |

| Getting The Most Out Of My Scout Dodgealum...sounds good. Would love to hear the results from your use of the Mint Tractor with both carts and overall improvement (or lack thereof) of optimizing cart setup. Especially interested in the 20X vs XX2MkII comparison once you get both ... | |
| Kudos to Audio Research Tdaudio...kudos to ARC indeed. Although, I suspect since you bought the Ref 2 and Ref 5 new that they did not want to alienate a good customer :-) which is good business practice and so still kudos to them. Quick question, what did you have before... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of My Scout Dodgealum...have you received your Dyna XX2MkII cart? What tweaks/upgrades to the Scout did you end up doing? What's the sound like compared to your prior setup with the Dyna 20X cart? Thx | |
| Question on DACs........... Thomas...if you buy the Supernait and keep the Cambridge 840 CDP than you have many options:1) You can use the 840 as transport and use it's digital out to connect to the Supernait's DAC and have the Supernait do the digital conversion2) You can s... | |
| Speakers to compare to Dynaudio Confidence C4 Dangelod...are you starting from scratch in terms of building a system or do you have amplification in place in an existing system. As Pdreher points out all too well, you should definitely think about speaker/amp and speaker/room match to optimiz... | |
