| Meeting up at RMAF this year Thankyou listencubes, I have been struggling a bit as I am across the pond in Europe. I have spoken to the Lift Restaurant and they are happy to host a get together. I will make a separate thread suggesting that locale | |
| Meeting up at RMAF this year Howard I will E mail the society for any suggestions, good idea on your part | |
| Meeting up at RMAF this year aggielaw, that is what I would like to do, but I have not been to Denver and am not clear how to arrange a place or time. That is why I am seeking suggestions. As for the NHS, I am a 61 year old family doctor and still have'nt been euthanased. Wha... | |
| Meeting up at RMAF this year If you are happy with it, then there is no problem. It is rather like intelligence, beauty etc. However bright, handsome you are, there will always be someone brighter and more handsome. I just live with it. There will be systems at RMAF costing u... | |
| Meeting up at RMAF this year Nowone seems to be coming up with any suggestions. Is there a bar nearby we could advertise as a meeting point? I suppose we could say Garcias, just as last year. I do'nt know anything about the geography around RMAF and can't arrange anything wit... | |
| Vinyl Reference vs K&K Maxxed-Out Phono Pre I do'nt have the maxxed out K&k, but the unit available when I purchased from Kevin 3 years ago. I can highly recommend it. It followed a number of stages I had purchased and found unsatisfactory and I subsequently had a phono stage shoot out ... | |
| Does Pass Aleph 3 heat up the room like tube amp? No comparison I am afraid. I loved the Aleph 3, but the Viva outperforms it in every area, except electricity consumption. Better control of the speakers, more transparent, better base, more neutral. Mind you it should be better, it is more than t... | |
| Does Pass Aleph 3 heat up the room like tube amp? I changed from an Aleph 3 to a 22watt SET, now that is hot. The Aleph 3 you can put your hand on for 10-15 seconds, the SET less. The SET in practice produces far more heat, it is useable, with some discomfort, in the Summer. I never kept either o... | |
| Best Super-Tweek You Possibly Ever Did Tried a lot of things, agree about the svelte shelf. The best though, was Walker Audio HDL links. A Zobel circuit you put across the terminals of the speaker, outside spades. Very effective, outrageously expensive for material content, but they re... | |
| What isolation feet to use?? Another vote for Herbies products, the isocups are excellent and economical compared with stillpoints etc. Having said that, I have a number of products from Symposium, stillpoints, Herbies, the expensive ones bought 2nd hand on the Gon. With a ne... | |
| SET with inefficient speakers I drive 89db Acoustic Zen Adagios with a 22 watt 845 SET no problems, but as darkmoebius say's, it is the impedence that is the vital point. The Adagios are pretty flat and do'nt drop much below 6.5ohms. In fact, my SET had better grip on the spea... | |
| Karan amp experiences wanted I used one for about 18 months. It is certainly built beautifully, with a neatly layed out circuit board. Ultimately, I found it a bit unenvolving. This maybe because I was using it for a summer backup to my SET amp, when I could'nt stand the heat... | |
| Help with final choice of efficient speakers I am sure Merlin are excellent, but as far as I know, they don't come in wood veneers. That is a deal breaker i am afraid | |
| Help with final choice of efficient speakers Thankyou all again, particularly the suggestion that Devore is slightly on the polite side of neutral and Daedalus slightly more dynamic. Thankyou in particular Duke, for recommending speakers other than your own. If yous are at RMAF, I will certa... | |
| Help with final choice of efficient speakers Well I am coming to RMAF, swine flu permitting, so I hope to look out some of your suggestions. I like Audio Note, but they like corner positioning, no chance of that in my room. |
