| 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... | |
| New Dire Straits 45RPM reissues from Mobile Fidelity Listened to Communique tonight...it is everything that everyone is saying. Super album with excellent SQ. The Dire Straits MFSL's are a no brainer for anyone that likes this band. | |
| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL Only concern i have with the MFSL One Steps is that MoFi seem to be picking titles that appeal to the masses vs. are great enough recordings ( SQ wise) in the first place that they deserve the 'One Step' process.For example, the 'One Step' of BOTW... | |
| Tell us about your KT150 experience I have stated before that it it is not usually wise to simply roll in KT150 tubes into any tube amp. If the amp was not designed from the start to utilize the new KT150's...damage to the transformer can result! The KT150 needs a lot higher voltage... | |
| Tell us about your KT150 experience The amps that I have heard that utilize KT120's have not been in my system, so very hard to say...I would be interested in this answer as well from someone who has had the two types in their system. | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars @erik_squires +1My question was meant to be aimed at why it took so very long for Dave W to come to the realization that the old tweeter was such a weak part of his design. IOW, what precipitated the change ( for the better) after all those years? |
