| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? "@kennyc Also seems fun to build.What’s your opinion?" imo, If you are doing this from scratch - have the tools, curiosity, and motivation to build -vs- buy, it can be rewarding if you are the type of person who generally likes to tinker and... | |
| CODA 8 V1 To @robshaw, It sounds like your tests of trying the amps with the different rooms and speakers paid off for you - with the music you enjoy listening to most. You made quick work of this, rather than pondering and reading for too long, you quic... | |
| CODA 8 V1 @robshaw It replaced a PASS X250.8.(In another system now). Gotta ask. What happened to the original idea [other thread] of using the Coda no. 8 amp paired with the Fritz speakers? In other words, what changed your mind to put the Coda in ... | |
| Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead "@kacomess he had "Parkinsonism" which is a constellation of disorders..." If it was diagnosed as such, looking up Atypical Parkinsonisms just now, wow, far more complex and debilitating than anyone other than his family members probably could ... | |
| Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead I’ll never forget my aunt playing Black Sabbath and looking at the album cover in my younger years early 1970s. The music and sound made for impressions you don’t forget. As his friends repeatedly say, "Ozzy was Ozzy". Nobody like him. All of th... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade To @robshaw I'm thinking the no. 8 V1 will be a nice match with the Fritz for you. I use to play quite a bit with smaller high-end monitors paired with high current amps. Its lot of fun to show what smaller speakers can really do with the right a... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade @robshaw wile I’ve not owned either, and have studied your final two, there is another small yet mentionable factor to consider I’d think. Service, Repairs, where you live, and what’s around you for any reason you ever need to have them checked, r... | |
| Legacy Audio has a new owner @oddiofyl "I would still buy a Legacy speaker after reading Jay's post. Sounds like they want to continue Bill's " Legacy" +1 It's not an uncommon scenario to see a founder / owner / creator / designer to hand off production operations an... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade @robshaw "Now to find the amp of my dreams. So far CODA is #1, willl see tks again". Sure thing. You mentioned the #8 V1 and 5.5 both.As you read more and ask private non-dealer owners of both, you might find out a bit more about the sign... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade @robshaw good for you!, and if I may say, your wife is quite the trooper to help you move your 100lb Pass Labs X250.8 amplifier back and forth for a test to prove your Fritz speakers are good! Seems she just saved you from buying another pair of ... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade @robshaw ...I may try today to move the Pass into the room that is smaller, that houses my fritz speakers. That would be the best comparison test. ... Yep, and you'll know more [relatively quickly] once the 250.8 amp gets fully warmed and you ... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade @robshaw while its a larger room, are you able to setup a close listening position in your big room, and bring the Fritz speakers there to try with your Pass X250.8 amp? It’s not an ideal test, yet another way to start to get ideas about other am... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @jceahodges I've tracked the model 8 and 5.5 for a while now. There was a point when there were few new 5.5 units, then few used units, people try them for a while as the "new model", and/or decide to try other amps and hoping for better speaker ... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers @ozzy But if your system, and ears are not up to it, you might let this pass you by. Exactly. Enjoy reading George’s history and mastery of cabling, and his associated explanations. For those who can’t hear a difference, buy cheap cables, save... | |
| Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade To @robshaw you can reach me over on DIYAudio or AK without violating anything here or private email addresses. I'd prefer to share more offline about other amps all using the same slot modules (all made at the same OEM), with one assembly line r... |
