| Audioquest NRG-5? It seems to be well made indeed - especially when you compare them to many "esoteric" power cors with fancy names, made in a garage.IMO it delivers 90% of what the most expensive cords can do, at a price that can still be considered reasonable. | |
| Audio Research SP16 annoying volume control Mating a preamp with an amp, you need to consider several things, such as gain of preamp, gain of amp, amp sensitivity, preamp output impedance, amp input impedance.What Audiophile have said is very true (maybe with the exception of in/out impedan... | |
| Audioquest NRG-5? For most ppl over here, AQ is not esoteric enough. NRG-5 is a very good PC for the money, IMO. I have been using one on my CDP for years. It is a bit on the warm side. | |
| Audio Research SP16 annoying volume control Is it happening in the lower part of the scale ? | |
| Proac D38, Wilson Sophia II, Avalon Ascendant??? Amfibius - I agree with you that W/Ps sound VERY different to ProAcs. However, Sophia II is a different story.I personally love ProAcs, Avalons and yet ... I was so impressed with the Sophias II, that I bought a pair. I never though that it could ... | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Does the Silencer only come in one size?That is my understanding. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow Tbg - no, I'm sourcing it from Germany (I live in Europe) with the help of Sam Laufer. I will try it under my ARC CD-7 and ARC Ref 3 preamp. My ARC Ref 110 power amp is prolly too big and will not fit. | |
| Halcyonics under my tt. Wow I should have the Silencer in the next couple of days/weeks. I will post my impressions vs my Finite Elemente Pagode Master Reference racks/stands in this thread. | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? First listening tests with NOS Tung Sol 6550 Black Plate on board are very encouraging. After 10h of break in, I'm confident to say that my system never sounded better in the following areas: 1. Purity of tone2. Resolution3. HF extension and air4.... | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? OK guys, I have already installed NOS Tung Sol in the PS of my Ref 3. Now I'm wondering, how much time I should allow for burn-in (this is a brand new tube) ? | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? Posbwp555 - I think that the problem with Ref 3 - and all other components build around 6H30 tube for that matter - is the range of available alternatives is extremly limited. AFAIK there is only one NOS tube you can try - the mil spec 6H30 DR tub... | |
| Proac D38, Wilson Sophia II, Avalon Ascendant??? Chetiar - all Avalons I have tried (maybe with the exception of Isis) have somehow limited dynamic impact in my expirience. Even the Eidolons, which use 11" Eton bass driver. Wilsons, on the other hand, have been known for years for great dynamics... | |
| Power Cable with a "soft" top end Audio Quest NRG-5 | |
| Proac D38, Wilson Sophia II, Avalon Ascendant??? I would suggest the oposite. I'm familiar with ProAc, owned Avalon Eidolon Vision for over a year (and heard Opus Ceramique, Ascendant and Symbol in MY system), and now own Sophia 2. To my ears, Sophia II is considerably better than the speakers y... | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? Guidocorona - Which Tung Sol 6550 have you tried ? The original NOS Black Plate from the 50s that or the current "Tung Sol 6550 reissue" ? |
