| Rowland M501 versus M201 The M501's work better with sub 4ohm loads.. it fleshed out the midrange and they were more effortless over the 201 which sounded excellent for the money but neither amp could compete with my Lamm M1.1. My Speakers dip to a 3.6 ohm load.If you can... | |
| Bryston vs Simaudio ? Check out the Rowland Integrated if you want something truely amazing! of the ARC VSI55 which is also extremely musical and a bargin. | |
| Legacy Whisper owners - Steridian problem You should look at a Tact 2.2x and then you could eq and biamp it with two DAC cards or two digital amps. This would give you the ultimate flexiblity, plus you could correct for room problems at the same time. You can set the crossover points with... | |
| This might be a stupid question,,but analog cables are a 50ohm impedance. Get a Digital Cable, and also try to get 1.5 meters as this is the minimum recommended length for digital cables. | |
| Watt/Puppy 7 or Sophia? Rcprince: Said it perfectly that the The top end on the Sophia is more forgiving. I found the JC-1's will be a little bright (many hours listening to this amp even after the 1500hrs breakin) on the top but your CDP should take care of that edge. T... | |
| Speakers sound better without grilles? My NHT 3.3 sounded way better with the grills off. The older Wilson's were spec'd for listening with the grills off, and the newer Wilsons are voiced with the grills on.Grills just minimize children from seeing the driver and poking it in! But the... | |
| Sonic inpact of spike/floor protectors You can couple with spikes or decouple with isolation (Bearings/Sistrum)You option is to Float the speakers I have great success using Aurio Pro's. I float both of my subs this way and it beats the stock footers.I used Sistrum SP4 stands also with... | |
| C J Premiere 11A versus Music Reference RM200 the RM200 actually puts out 145watts into 4ohms. The CJ will have a warmer presentation, the Music Reference will command control of the bass and provide the liquidity and soundstaging you expect but without the extreme warmness of the CJ. Amazing... | |
| Amplifier suggestions to drive a pair of NHT 3.3 Bi-amp them with an active crossover on the bottom it really opens up the NHT's. On the high end of your range I used an EAD Powermaster 2000 5 channel (400watts x5) to biamp the NHT through an active crossover (actually my EAD Signature processor... | |
| Watts vs input sensitivity __2 Different size Amps The other option you should look at is getting a hotter source for your passive preamp! My Gamut CD1R outputs 4-5volts, Theta, Wadia, and a number of other CDP's or DAC's have outputs and this works great with passive preamps. Also if you are runn... | |
| ExactPower EP15A Has anyone compared the ExactPower to the Audiophile Pure Power 1050 with battery conditioning? I don't want another transformer based conditioner.This seems like an even cleaner solution to get the best of both worlds (Exactpower and PS Audio)htt... | |
| Ayre K1,Lamm 1.1 match with Watt/Puppy 5.1? Thanks.. the VTL S400 was paired with a Theta Gen VIII (this was providing more resolution than my Gamut) and it was cabled with 1 step up in transparent cabling(so about $20k more in cabling than my system, So the air could be related to the Tran... | |
| Ayre K1,Lamm 1.1 match with Watt/Puppy 5.1? Check out my System.I am running either a Tact or a Rowland Synergy IIi preamp running on batteries. The Lamms are Straight Class A biased and they do run very hot just like a big tube amp, but they are magical amps! (They were much better than bo... | |
| I need help with crossover and compesser Get a Tact RSC 2.2x and you can use the DAC in it if you duel player has digital outs.. you can EQ it digitally and cross them over in the digital domain and use it as a preamp if you want... Get an upgraded Tact Powersupply from Anthony online he... | |
| Ayre K1,Lamm 1.1 match with Watt/Puppy 5.1? I own WP7's and the Lamm M1.1's are outstanding! Tube liquidity with all the slamm and control surrounded by an extreme soundstage! |
