| Speakers for low-level listening This has been covered many times before. Using what equates to little more than a loudness button is antiquated thinking. Ultra-sensitive loudspeakers, often horn-loaded, are more dynamic. Dynamic range at all volume levels, including at low leve... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? @markimiller How long did it take you to get the Komuro and which 300B tubes is John supplying the amp with? Did you ask about his upcoming amps and how he describe the differences in each amp? And one last question-did you have it shipped or di... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? I continue to believe, btw, that if you can afford the 96's, get them. I believe that as I said before, they will sound better at low volumes than the 93's. The price differential is surprisingly high given that they share the identical tweeter an... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? For the money, I would get the O/93s. I think they are more cohesive and balanced. I noticed little to no difference in efficiency. This is exactly what Don Better told me the one and only time I came to visit him up in Cleveland to audition th... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? The dilemma now is between the O/93 and the O/96 (apart from cost). Which ones are more suitable for nighttime low listening? The O/96's. But only by a slight margin. The names are derived from their respective claimed sensitivities though JA m... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? @audition__audio Peace brother. I have been something of an ass and you have reacted like a gentleman. I apologize and will not say a negative word to you or about you if I can possibly help it. | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? @avanti1960 I appreciate your comment. Mine likely have 50-75 hours. I thought they sounded best with the OEM cheap standard-issue spikes rather than with the Gaia footers I later tried and kept installed but I have beautiful/expensive walnut ha... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? Hi Jim. It is apparent from your Agon marketplace feedback that you started out selling only tubes through Feb of 2012 and then disappeared for four years before selling audio gear other than tubes (mostly Analysis Plus cables) in March of 2016 an... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? @fsonicsmith Wow! Dealer has just been outed. Scandalous indeed. This must be the tribe of big secrets. I can't tell if you are being sincere or sarcastic but no worries either way. No scandal. IIRC, there is not set policy here on this Bo... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? I am guessing your main tribe is this https://auditionaudio.net/ If I am correct, why have you not identified yourself in your profile as being in the industry Mr. Jim Sautter? | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? Different tribes I guess What is your preoccupation with "tribes"? Just how do you define "tribe". I see from reviewing your past posts that you use the term often such as here; Somehow I doubt that. If this were true you should mention your ... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? I own a pair of DeVore O/93’s and can strongly recommend them. I’ve yet to hear the “what they got wrong” part of them… However, you rarely see them on the used market and there are plenty of reasons for that. As for the, “narrow baffles, more in... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? They are much less offensive than other speakers on poor recordings. This too is not a positive attribute. I think that this is the main reason we all preferred the more linear sound of OTLs on these speakers. One of the S'Phile reviewers recen... | |
| Does anyone have any experience with Revel M126Be speakers? I can only tell you that I too own B&W 805M's purchased at right around the same time as you did-1994 to maybe 1998-I just remember that my two sons were still young. I will never forget buying them at Progressive Audio on High Street, on tOSU... | |
| Garrard 301 motor and rumble A year later and I am all caught up on this thread- amazing the twists and turns an audio forum takes. Well...my issue persists and with the additional time, I deduce that its the motor sending vibration up the shaft and to the pulley where it ... |
