| Speaker Pairing - First Watt F8 @norust decooney - thanks for the article link on the Razz. I have communicated with Gregg at Volti and he has been helpful. Since I am in the southeast, I plan on making a roadtrip to TN to hear his speakers in the next 6 months. Sure. I’... | |
| Adcom pre amp versus Van Alstine @mrdmbman "...I am getting the Van Alstine next for the comparison!" Paired with the 2125 amp, ill be curious what you report on which is weighty vs transparent at first, then with more time comparing - which one is more engaging and enjoyab... | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? Toe varies by room and system. Try no-toe, slight toe-in, even trying radical crossing of toe up to 10" crossing in front of the listener - - would have never believed it until my local 53-year-in business dealer showed me with a few AudioNote sy... | |
| Speaker Pairing - First Watt F8 @norust - from your list above, I’d pick the Volti Razz for your FW F8. That’s my .02 cents. Also, a comment from stereophile recently on impedence with Razz, fwiw. Lots of others out there you could check out, but this is a good example. I agree ... | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? Klipsch Forte > Volti (Razz or Rival). Anyone here made this A to B upgrade? | |
| Efficient speakers -- What was your journey from A to B to ? As a DIY’er and if I did not already build my own, and I was on a path for my next fleawatt amp efficiency speakers out there in DIY form, I’d be tempted to try one of Troel’s higher efficiency DIY offerings. Kinda cool, seems like a value to revi... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results Yep, hang on to that preamp for a while. As others noted, just because something is notably "different" at first, does not always make it better to our ears - long term. I can go straight from my digital source to my amp too, with volume control.... | |
| Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...? It’s a two year old thread, and it was a reasonable question to ask. I’ve enjoyed the vibe and passion of the replies, capital letters and all, members sharing what they like and why. It’s one of the reasons I come to this forum. Its all good. Wh... | |
| Robert Plant @bato1965 ... Just listen Kashmir, Live from Celebration Day. Plant’s voice matured. Had not listened to that Kashmir Celebration Day 2007 performance in a while, and came across it again last night on Youtube. Had forgotten how good it was... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers @dsper have you decided on the Carerra or Carbon ? I ask because I've used some of the same Scanspeak drivers in a few speakers I built, and upgraded, similar to the Fritz Carbon 7 SE MK 2. Warm, full body, nice. https://www.fritzspeakers.com/Dr... | |
| Robert Plant @whiteknee decooney thank you! I Amazon’d the Celebration Day CD/DVD/BlueRay right after I read your thread. WOW! Cool, enjoy. Glad you like it! 👍 I'm an old Zep fan myself, and yet some of the old 70s recordings were pretty limited.... | |
| Adcom pre amp versus Van Alstine "@mrdmbman I have decided to buy them both! I will circle back with my review of both." There you go, nice! This is truly the only way to know, to help decide in your system, setup, and matching with your amplifier. There is always a buyer ... | |
| Adcom pre amp versus Van Alstine You could call Frank at AVA and ask him if he has any used units coming in that he could go through and check out for ya. imo, pick the one tested with the lowest noise, and the fewest number of bits/parts inside if you care about sound quality. ... | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? Sure do, [FM Nerd] here too, had more than a few from McIntosh, Fanfare/B&K, Magnum Dynalab, Sansui, and others. Every once in a while it gets turned on in rotation and played for a full day. Easy when you don’t feel like messing with streamin... | |
| Help choosing a DAC @oddiofyl "My problem with Denafrips is there is no return policy. What is your budget ? Maybe consider used , check out TMR in Colorado. They have a good return policy." +1 Gotta say overall, with only one minor exception over th... |
