| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Downunder: Thanks. You too have good a nice one, especially those Sonus Fabers look like a stunning Italian beauty. I guess you are located downunder? Which city?My phonstage is a modest musical fidelity but I am building my own based on the same ... | |
| ZYX Airy 3 or Atmos I ended up with neither. My final selection is Ortofon A-90 which will go on the Micro Seiki RX-1500. Initially I will install it using the MSE 3009R but I am thinking of the Graham Phantom II. | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Mine just arrived. Have not installed it yet. I have Micro Seiki RX-1500 with SME3009R. | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? One of my heroes in audio is Leo Spiegel, the genius at Apogee acoustics who designed the Fullrange ribbon spakers.In an interview in July 1990, he said: "In the case of the Stage, we set out to make a smaller loudspeaker, still with a good, accur... | |
| On good sounding inductors In fact, I tried the North Creek inductors but then changed back to the Alpha Core. I prefer the Alpha Core. I have the cipper ones. Are silver versions still available? | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? In fact, the amount of watts is the issue. The impedence of Apogees speakers, barring the Scintilla, is 4 ohms. So most amplifiers can handle that. It is their low sensitivity that precludes most amps because they will not have the watts to run th... | |
| apogee divas Have extensive experience with 3 Divas, 3 Scintillas, 3 Stages, 2 C-Majors, one Duetta, and 2 Fullranges.They are magical speakers. I rate the Stage to be the best sounding Apogee but it cannot play very loud so the Fullrange wins overall.I am bor... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Darkmoebius: I will shoot you an email how to place the Divas. In order not to disturb this thread, email me privately please your room dimensions. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Got it. Sorry for the haste. | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Darkmoebius: Thank you for the well wishes :) | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Clavil:The GT-400 is a monster amp and will not sweat driving even the Diva. I was talking about smaller Tube amps Like the Audio Valve Challenger, which would generate 100plus wpc and will work fine with teh Stage and yes with loud Brucknor or ot... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? I am driving my Stages with TRL GT-400 and I love it!!!!!!I agree with So_good that a *good* 100-150 WPC tube amp can drive the Stage well.A good tube amp to consider is Audio Valve Challenger. Its sound is lush and seductive. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Undertow: I do not miss the point. In fact, I am believer in that myself. My crossover is in fact simple but requires larger caps. I was just creating humor at the pricing :)Thanks for the kind words on my system. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have upgraded my crossover with Mundorf S&O caps on my Aogee Fullrange. My fullrange is my own deisgn combining the Apogee Fullrange woofer with a Centaur Major mid/tw ribbon in a special enclosure. I designed the passive crossover. the midr... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? The Stage is a great speaker and has the best midrange after Quads based on my personal experience and thus deserves a good amp especially a tubed one. For low price solid State, try a McCormack. |
