| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC Njs, et. al., I'm not trying to hold up the process; the article has been submitted for publication but has to go through a process which takes some time. Yes, these will be available to all and I provide the info to obtain them. :) | |
| Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros Johnny, thank you for the correction, and shows why one can't trust memory 100%! The Quatro would operate in terms of the bass similar to the Vandersteen subs, then, correct? The phrase, "downward firing slot loaded system," sounds familiar. So, i... | |
| Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros Maineiac, much appreciated. | |
| Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros I said I had a problem with the direction some bass drivers fire. The Whisper's bass drivers fire in parallel in a forward direction. If they fired in a different direction I likely would not own Legacy speakers as a refrence; that's how important... | |
| Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros Pubul57, yes, I should have indicated it was in response to Chad's comment regarding the bass. He and I have gone round and round about the Vandy's and Legacy's before. I think he over-dramatizes and he thinks I'm out to lunch, so it's a perfect s... | |
| Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros Chad, I have owned the Vandy 1B, 2CE and 2W subs, prior to reviewing. I have heard the Quatro at dealers and shows. I have also heard the 5 at dealer and shows, and the 7 at shows. I have more than a glancing familiarity with Vandersteen sound. Wh... | |
| Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros The Quatro is side-firing and would make a mess of the low end if it were not tuned. I'm not particularly impressed with the bass of speakers which side-fire their low end drivers. A significant amount of nuance in the lower frequencies is lost. F... | |
| Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros Legacy Focus SE 18Hz +/- 2dbVandersteen Quatro 24 Hz +/- 2 dB I reviewed the Focus SE for Dagogo.com | |
| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC Mrtennis, yes, there are many Opamps for this unit; I tested approx. ten custom Opamps in multiple configurations. There are literally dozens of configurations possible. I'm afraid I can't recommend any of the pairings which do what you are seekin... | |
| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC Njs, you are right on the money with your answer. I received the reply from Alex Yeung, designer of the Minimax DAC, and you have it right. One set of Opamps are always used regardless of output SS/tube. The other set of Opamps is only used with S... | |
| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC Mrtennis, to my ear the influence of the Opamps supercedes that of the tube rolling. I'm checking on the SS/tube output question. | |
| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC At the moment I'm not using anything exotic, just the stock 12AU7 tube. The reason is that for testing Opamps I felt it would be far more beneficial to use the stock unit's tube as opposed to an alternative. If I use the stock unit in testing Opam... | |
| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC Njs, Wow, I'm in the lead early on! But don't worry, someone will post/write a hyperbolic, way over the top declaration which will far surpass mine. I'm glad some people are finding I'm not overstating the cause for excitement. Part of the "teaser... | |
| Success Rolling Opamps in EE Minimax DAC Thanks for the feedback, gentlemen. Glad you are enjoying the upgrade. But there's more to come; watch for another Audio Blast article. It gets better, much better. In its stock form the Minimax has been well received, including one Product of the... | |
