| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match joannism Too much highs.. That's the last thing a Gryphon's sound is. If anything it has a dark sound reputation. As I have heard with other Focal speakers.You have other problems, suggest you try a simple cd player first and work from there.C... | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Volume Control? b_limo The Cambridge Audio CXC, is a cd transport only (good one BTW), it has no volume, it will be up to the dac you use to have that or not.Cheers George | |
| Amp Speaker Pairing chilli42 I you have no problem. I heard 2 paralleled GM70 SE (50w) tube amps drive those Yvette’s no problem. As tested by Stereophile with the XA60.8 you have up to 150W into 8 ohms 240W into 4 ohms 380W into 2 ohmsAnd the speaker load is not to0... | |
| Help! My preamp/DAC is unable to drive my poweramp Yeah that’s what it looked like to me, weird that Bricasti would kill the rca output like that, as that 1.2v doesn’t meet RedBook digital standard. Explains why many mistakenly say the balanced sound better, just that there’s not enough volts from... | |
| Help! My preamp/DAC is unable to drive my poweramp What I found on the web.Your Bricasti xlr is 40ohm output impedance with 5.2v output.Your Nagra xlr is 47kohm input impedance at 2v in for full output.It seems there should be no problem with the Bricasti driving the Nagra.with xlr connection But ... | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE The NAIM CDP 555 with the PS555 power supply will cost you your first born as well as your house and wife, if you can find one. The ML No.39 is a good one but the laser is hard/expensive to get if needed.Cheers George | |

| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? You are digging your self a big hole Ralph. | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? Wow, this is just so typical. Here your correct, and we probably all agree.If you really want to get the soundstage right, the amp needs to have minimal phase shift in the audio regions so it will need bandwidth past 80KHz. Most larger SETs simply... | |
| B&W 803D - Best amplifiers to drive them kelpie The B&W803 D’s are a hard speaker in the bass for an amp, and need one that is comfortable drive 3ohms for most of the bass and the even worse below 100hz where there is also a massive -65’ of -phase angle as well. Because they are 91db... | |
| Marantz AV7703 - Odd crossover setting necessary I’ve usually found Audyssey very good.I know you shouldn’t, but try try setting the mains to large (no subwoofer), run Audyssey again. (Usually picking large mains auto turns off the sub anyway)After that turn on subwoofer and manually pick where ... | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE Looks good, I'm not for one with DAC's that use output tubes as they need to look at high impedance input loading from the following equipment. Ask him if that "250ohm" output impedance is constant that it says it is from 20hz to 20khz. If it rise... | |
| Which R2R DAC UP TO 1K: ORGANIC, FULL-BODIED, DEEP SOUNDSTAGE $800 was fair for that one, seeing the boxed condition. I don't think the Denon would compete without serious working on thew I/V and output stages, and then it's still has just a DVD laser/mech.Cheers George | |

Enjoy the music more by myself, as when the others come they always bring their latest pieces of gear to "try" to knock what I have off, and it usually ends up just a... | |
