| How loud in DB, Is "cranking it" czarivey:The Pass amplifier was reviewed/measured by Stereophile and having just looked up the info it output 332 watts into 2 ohms @ 1% distortion and close to 200 watts @ 4 ohms.I do not understand what Nelson did with the new design, but it’s a... | |
| How loud in DB, Is "cranking it" Your amplifier is capable of over 150 watts @ 8 ohms as it has an additional 120 watts (class B) of headroom.It would have even more headroom (> 150 watts) pushing your Thiels.Depending on how fast the meter is you may not even notice the amp s... | |
| PS Audio Sprout If I understand your speakers correctly the bass increases as they are moved out from the front wall (up to a certain point), so they may sound better a little closer.I think the bass boost is around 60-65Hz (difficult to read the measurement grap... | |
| PS Audio Sprout Give it a try.The slight mid-bass boost of the Sprout will most likely require repositioning of your open baffle speakers (in order to give it a fair shake).I’ve been intrigued by the pro reviews of the Sprout in that regardless of any stated shor... | |
| Which dac ? OK, I assume the Concerto allows USB connection.Kind of funny that I recommended what you already purchased.Must be a single driver mentality sort of thing.DeKay | |
| Which dac ? Didn’t realize you has a Bel Canto Dac 2 for sale here (and the one I mentioned is also for sale @ A’Gon).Curious as to what you did you not like about it (and did you use the RCA/coaxial connection)? | |
| Which dac ? If you are looking for a warmer/more organic sound see if the Bel Canto Dac 2 is still available @ Audiogon (used from a dealer for $275).Suspect it would work well with your setup.I used Bel Canto’s 1.0 & 1.1 with wide range single driver spe... | |
| Which Deoxit...? A 12 oz can of the 409B is listed on Amazon-UK for 17 GBP.Think my last can (California) was $14-$15 including tax.I have a local shop that carries it, along with the Caig products et cetera.Nothing wrong with Caig cleaner, other than that for my ... | |
| Which Deoxit...? For cleaning I use MG Chemicals 409B Electrosolve Zero Residue Contact Cleaner.MG has a UK distribter, as far a I know.Before the MG I used Kontak (very expensive) and found that the Electrosolve works just as well. | |
| Does anyone know who in Los Angeles can service a Woodside SC26 Valve Pre Amp? Yes, +1 for Mitch (forgot about him). | |
| Does anyone know who in Los Angeles can service a Woodside SC26 Valve Pre Amp? Ask Musical Fidelity in Culver City (not familiar with your preamp) if they can repair it.Anyway, they have always had a good rep (lived in the LA area since 1977). | |

| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions Replacing a $600/pr of (albeit highly regarded) speakers with a <$5K budget does not make a great deal of sense to me (especially for such a small listening room with the other components you mention).If they are still available you might look ... |
