| Impedance loading low-output MC cartridges... Played around with my Benz Ruby 11 extensively, This cartidge seems to like 700 ohms. At 47K it looses a little bit of dimensionality and top end extension. Also ,the sound stage is a little less wide.So with a great resistor like Vishays, 700k is... | |
| switching from Tubes to SS bRAD, i WENT FROM TUBED AMPS( MELOS AND THEN AUDIO RESEARCH) TO MY CURRENT jEFF ROWLAND. THE TUBE AMPS ARE A LITTLE MORE ROMANTIC. BUT THE ROWLAND HAS IT OVER THEM IN EVERY OTHER WAY. PLUS A LOT LESS HEAT, FAR MORE RELIABLE AND YOU NEVER WANDER WH... | |
| Hales signature 2's. Doctor b wondering what you replaced them with? Why?Must be pretty special, as they are hard to beat. | |
| Which speakers would be a good upgrade in a small Thanks everyone for your input. I will definitely try and hear the Eire's and the Gradients.The Aerius is a speaker that I have had extensive experience with, since I owned a pair. They are nice but I now prefer dynamic drivers to electro's. Just ... | |
| Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE Agree with you Mcne. I recently heard the Red Rose R3's and they were thin, shrill and obviously cut of several different cloths. Very un-impressive indeed. Could have been the set-up--but? This probably tells you that a home audition is a must wh... | |
| Hales System II Signature BTW I just looked up the efficiency in my Hales manual and the sig's are 87db efficient. Also according to the manual they use Cardas golden section internal cableing. | |
| Hales System II Signature Anyone consider bi-amping the sig's. I am considering bi-amping with the rowland model 8 on the woofers and some kind of tube amp on the tweets, any suggestions? | |
| Hales System II Signature I heard my Sig 11's today with the REL sub. This is a match made in heaven.The Sig 11's really cook.Earlier, I had heard the same sub with a pair of Verity Pasifals, and the Sig's just blew the Verities away in a biiiig way. Both set up's were dri... | |
| Can anyone help me to decide which pre-amp is better ? I own the CAT sig.Recently did an AB with the Hovland and the VK 50SE and the Herron. The Hovland is real pretty, and has by far the best WAF factor. The CAT has far sharper claws than any of the above. IMHO waaay better bottom end than the Hovlan... | |
| Anyone herad the Audio Physic Avanti 111's? sidssp, that is good advise, I will be sure not to buy them unless I have somehow heard them. However, feedback here is also helpful. Wonder what speakers you are referring to that you made the mistake on? | |
| Hales System II Signature Kirk930, the model 8's are still being made, they are now the 8ti's, I believe. My version is an original 8 from about 1991 or therabouts. I have done some mod's om it, but have left the original choke power supply. I feel this sounds a little sup... | |
| Anyone herad the Audio Physic Avanti 111's? I have heard Virgo's on many occassions, they are good, but lack any bottom end. The Avanti 111's are supposed to be a big step up according to Framer et al. I cannot hear them anywhere near where I live, so I appreciate all feedback. | |
| Hales System II Signature Actually Sknnyc, The sig's are wired with Cardas Hex5, they had not come out with the Golden 5 or Cross at the time of Sig production. This cable probably contibutes to their weakest link unfortunately. I use Highwire cable with good results, used... |
