| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! @luxmancl38 The size of the teflon cap almost certainly determines the amount of hours it will take to break in. The teflon caps in the ARC preamp were large. @cleeds This isn't a court of law...so your post is a little off, IMHO. The claim tha... | |
| Break in time that extends to months or maybe even years!! @atmasphere Well that's a good point, but according to our esteemed member, on his review of the product, 900 hours has been reached and he is still hearing advances. I suppose another question could be...how long is acceptable 'break in' time fo... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G, I get that you want me to buzz off this third, LOL. So, with that said, i have created a thread, like you suggested, that does discuss the issue of incredibly long 'break-in' time...and why i don't think that is something that should be at the ... | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input @hilde45 I understood your OP as to the hook up concerns with mono blocks...as I had the same concerns myself with my mono blocks. It always made a lot of sense to me to have two(2) subs in this situation. REL suggest this for probably a couple o... | |
| audiophiles who are just getting the itch to upgrade @phill55 You are asking about upgrades to the Linn that have quite varied price points. A Lingo 2 power supply used is about the same price as the Karousel bearing, whereas the Keel chassis is about three times the price of those two ( if new). Si... | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input @hilde45 Is that set up the one suggested by REL? I used that exact set up on my prior ARC stereo tube amp, and it worked fine. I also use that basic set up on my ss balanced stereo amp...although I place the Black to a grounding connection on th... | |
| How to connect monoblocks to a single REL sub with ONE RCA input I was in the same position as you, owning one REL sub and utilizing a mono block tube amp. I realized that the value of having mono blocks is to completely separate the signal from the left and the right speaker, with no possible signal corruption... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G. As an ex pro musician, I don't really agree with your analogy between musical instruments and our hi-fi gear. Without doubt a great instrument 'matures' over time, I have experienced this on many occasions myself. OTOH, said instrument does NO... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G, I was talking about this very aspect ( lengthy break in times) with my tech. He is a big believer in Teflon caps, which he tells me take on average about 500-600 hrs to break in. I have never felt that it was the consumers job to break in audio... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G. That's a VERY long break in time! I am always a little surprised ( that's the only word that comes to mind that I think isn't derogatory) when a component takes hundreds ( thousands??) of hours to 'break in'. I can understand if a component tak... | |
| audiophiles who are just getting the itch to upgrade I would suggest a front end upgrade first. As has been mentioned, the new Karousel bearing would be a nice start. If funds allow, a Radikal, Keel or Kore and then a new tonearm. Front end is where you typically get your biggest bang for the $. | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G. I am suggesting trying the Daemon into the M925mono's first. Like i said before, the fact that the 925's are a mono block design should give you a nice increase in soundstage imaging and separation. That has always been my experience when I com... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G, I would be more interested in the results from you feeding the DAC and the preamp into your 925's. This would likely give you the biggest increase in SQ. Simply because you are now utilizing a dedicated mono block for the amp stage. Feeding you... | |
