| Hegel Amplifiers My mistake, sorry...H2A(I heard) or H20 have similar specs and should be powerful enough in your system. On the other hand, H10 limited edition(I heard)or H4A seem to have similar specs and are powerful enough to drive a pair of KEF Reference 207/... | |
| Hegel Amplifiers To drive your Quad 21L, it is believed Hegel H2A(200W x 2 @8 ohms/350W x 2 @4 ohms) can get the job at ease(get your Quad well under control). H10/H20 would be too powerful in your existing system. To begin with, try not to connect any AC filter f... | |
| Hegel Amplifiers Either H2A or H20. Very much depend on what speakers you will mate with Hegel. To give you some ideas: H10 can drive KEF Reference 207/2 at ease in a room of W18 x L25 x H11. H2A is good enough for KEF Ref 205/2. Also tend to think a better source... | |
| Hegel Amplifiers It's a pity I couldn't compare Hegel H2A with Densen B-310 bi-amps the time I had them in our system. Yes, they are both hidden gems(as still modestly priced)with almost everything a power amp should provide. They couldn't help where "being harsh ... | |
| Hegel Amplifiers I have heard H2A and H10(Limited Edition)with various gears. If you look for fast, tight, well controlled, lesser colored presentations, they can compete with many much pricier power amps. Both are modestly priced comparing to other similar produc... | |
| Audia flight vs Ear 324 EAR 324 is an ideal choice if you have two arms using multiple MM and MC carts. For as low as $4,xxx, it is still within reach by many vinyl lovers.I haven't heard Audia Flight in a controlled environment. But if you like solid state phono, you ha... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge It's nice to see some vinyl enthusiasts still believe in pricier MC carts of really good designs. I haven't heard A90 but a Per Windfeld. If wisely matched and correctly used, it's believed Per Windfeld is as capable as much pricier carts on the m... | |
| Set up for Project Tube Box SE II I suggest you to use MM setting for this high output MC cart FIRST in case you will overload your system!!! MC setting with 60dB gain is way too much for an 1.6mV output cart!!!About which capacitance value is the best? It'd be hard to tell as thi... | |
| Using XLR for Phono out To my understanding, all stereo cartridges are basically(or at least could be) made with "balanced" circuits. I also agreed "balanced to balanced from there on out is the best bet" especially with longer cable length.Dan | |
| Using XLR for Phono out Agreed with others that it would be no definite answer. Experiments make our audio system perfect. With your decent audio gears, you should hear some sonic differences by switching RCA and XLR connections. The reasons behind are due to a bit more ... | |
| Cartridge Loading First, I also agree with Doug, Larry & others that a correct load is very much system dependent in which listening room is also a main factor. Though in theory for a cart with 25-ohm "actual" internal impedance(sometimes 25 ohms is just a nomi... | |
| Phase Tech P-1G vs ZYX Omega Mc carts Yes, Syntax, it's not an easy task...IMHO,1) Aesthetically, Phase Tech P-1G is prettier vs ZYX Omega is a bit weird with a ball...To me, P-1G is one of the most prettiest MC carts. I need some more time to get used to a "ball".2) Comparing compani... | |
| Denon DL103D or DL103LCII I don't usually recommend someone to buy used items, especially carts. But for SUTs, it shouldn't have much problems with used ones or it's easier to identify them before purchase or fix if neccessary. There are lots of nice Denon SUTs available i... | |
| Denon DL103D or DL103LCII DL-103D MC cartridge(First release in Nov. 1977) Output voltage: 0.25mV Frequency response: 20 Hz to 65 kHz Impedance: 40ohms Load resistance: more than 100 ohms Stylus shape: special ellipse needle Stylus pressure: 1.5 ± 0.2 g Compliance: ... |
