| Living with Magico S3MKII & Luxman C900u +M900u (long term Impression) Very nice review. I think the Lux/Magico combo must sound very nice. Please change the word..twitter to tweeter, as the high frequency drivers are not twitters...unless you are on twitter, and then maybe they are! Tweeter is the word....FYI.:0) | |
| Goldmund, not much inside, but ultra expensive. A lot of folks believe that the ideal amp is going to be sounding like a straight wire with gain. The fact that the Goldmund amps don't have a lot of parts inside them doesn't necessarily mean that they don't sound great. OTOH, we can look at some... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G. It makes perfect sense that the Daemon runs cool, it is after all a class D amp! I sometimes wonder why Jeff needs all of the heat cooling exterior work that his chassis exhibits, as Class D amps really don't need that-- they inherently run coo... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G.. are you using a dedicated line with the Daemon? I think that all of Jeff's power amps really benefit tremendously from a dedicated line...and a decent after market power outlet. The Oyaide R1 that I installed in my room really works like a cha... | |
| Is there a difference between Linn LP12 lingo 1 vs lingo 2 other than the case? Earliest versions of the Lingo 2 were identical to the Lingo 1 ( known as the shoe box) except for the case. Later versions were slightly modded as to how the board was connected and mounted and a few other minor aspects...leading to a difference ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier @klh007 Nordost is what I use for speaker cabling. I went from Cardas to Nordost and never looked back. Since i run two amp set ups ( one tube and one ss (Rowland)) but not at the same time, I utilize the Nordost cabling on my tube mono blocks and... | |
| REL subwoofer using only red cable not yellow per REL technical dept REL does indeed recommend two(2) subs if you are using mono block amps. I have mono blocks, so two subs it is. However, the issue becomes that depending on room size, two subs can easily overload your room. In my case, my room is very small, albei... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G, I only have experience with my custom modded model 8T, which does tend to draw a fair amount of juice out of the wall. The Cardas cables were all utilized with this amp, the Black Cat is truly in a different league with this amp...and I would s... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier @klh007 At the moment I am using the latest pc from Chris...his Silverstar pc and I am also using the Silverstar ic’s. Additionally, I have his Coppertone ic’s...and they are superb as well. The Silverstar is slightly more specific in its imaging ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier G.. Over the years I used everything from Hexlink Golden 5C to Clear, and most of the cables in between. IMO, all of the Cardas looms have a similar 'house' sound. None of these, even the latest Clear Reflection ( I used this for a short time, as ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier Nice review. One thing I have noticed is that Jeff's gear is very susceptible to what power cord and ic that is utilized. The pc is perhaps more important with Jeff's larger amps than with any other amp i have experienced. You can hear immense cha... | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @dsholl1 Unfortunately, I don't believe that you can lay the differences that you heard between these two designs, the i50 and DA88sMk2, at the feet of the power tubes utilized by these amps. There are signifiant differences in amp abilities as y... | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @dsholl1 I don’t want to tell who the amp designer is, but I really like his gear and I respect his opinion ( generally). However, my opinion is that he is mistaken when it comes to the differences. @decooney What you posted about the quality of t... | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 I ask the question in my OP because there is a well known and respected (justifiably so, IMO) amp designer, who believes that the KT120 is superior sounding to the KT150. This has NOT been my experience, but i am questioning if others have experie... | |
| Lyra Delos vs. Kleos? Having heard both of these cartridges and now owning a Kleos, one thing is certain, that is both require a very very precise set-up. Even the slightest error and you simply won't hear what these cartridges are capable of. IME, the Kleos is a lot m... |
