| An upgrade a long time overdue @sfall, not a bad combo.Jammer, I am the resident Vandy fanboy, so my opinion is a bit biased towards them. In any case, I would look for a time correct speaker like the Vandy's. You'll get the most coherent soundstage, as well as lack of fatigue,... | |
| Question about weak link JMC and Mac offer very good advice. +2Putting back the old amp first would be my first move after the cables burn in.B | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design How low in frequency do your DIY speakers go?B | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? @ctsooner , did you get the amp back, yet?Bob | |
| An upgrade a long time overdue OP, Your Bryston is a good amp. You don't mention what preamp you own now, but I would get an Ayre regardless. I would get one of the Ayre Codex, too, for a DAC.After saying all this, I would probably be more inclined to upgrade my speakers first-... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design @almarg , et al.Considering how much you are doing to the original signal (when processing through the DEQX), do you think you are altering it to something 'unnatural'?Bob | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Thanks ozzy and Al! I have been reading and rereading the manual, as well as the thread Al linked to.It is a lot of information, and I am not the most technidally proficient person. So, sorry if I repeat something that has already been answered.Ha... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design So, Ozzy, you managed to do the calibrations without help from DEQX?I am reading the manual. It is pretty detailed, but seems doable.(I still haven't finished reading it completely). My biggest concern is interpreting the graphs. Not so much the d... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Thanks Al/Ozzy.Since were still encased in snow here in the NE, GardenerBob hasn't been doing much gardening. So, after a sunny Friday afternoon, I have been aquainting myself with the DEQX. I still have to go through the Agon thread, but it reall... | |
| Cables for rear surrounds I see some recommendations for BFA terminations, but I have found them very brittle and prone to breakage. I much prefer spades.B | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 I have bought my 3a sigs and Treo's (actually ctsooner's) used, so I don't see a problem. Actually, I bought all my equipment used either here on Agon or USAudiomart.If you do buy used Vandy's, it would be better to get the most current model. As ... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Do you notice a difference? Can you toggle it on and off?I am just curious, I never heard of it prior to this thread.B | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design I forgot to ask, did you do the DEQX calibration, yet?B | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Thanks for posting your impressions. Your experience mirrors mine and is significantly better worded. I have no doubt that as things 'burn in', you will notice even more details.As I have said before, I was completely amazed with how musical Ralph... | |
| Others experience re: subs and Magmepan 20 @imdoc , I think you are crossing over too low and the 3rd order crossover (correct me if I'm wrong) is a bit extreme. I would use something less drastic, like a 1st order crossover (-6db) starting at 70-80hz. If you have a well made powered sub, ... |
