| Synergistic Research HFT's I then installed the first 5 SR HFTs and couldn’t hear any or little difference. I proceeded by adding the next 5 and again nothing. Maybe my 59 year old ears are going No not going, but hearing nothing that these could possibly do.Just more S... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? ledoux1238 Does it come in a dual volume pot arrangement? Yes it does, it’s a $35 option, and is good for recording, room or system imbalances, also great for vinyl, as I never seen cartridges that have perfect channel balance. It’s all in the sa... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO This sounds like it's going to give the MSB's, Halo's, Denafrip's, a real run for the money, hope a mag that also does tests and measurements like Stereophile does a review on this.Cheers George | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thank you Sean for the very favorable mention of the Lightspeed Attenuator. I just had a good look at these highly regarded Linkwitz Labs speakers of yours, very elaborate for a diy'er to do, one needs to be on the ball to make these. (and have so... | |
| Speaker recommendations for MC275 vilet Can anyone recommend a good speaker match for my McIntosh MC275 VI? Currently have the original B&W N804. Not the best amp for these speakers, they have a nasty load in the bass.With the 275 you "ideally" to get the very best out of ... | |
| Classe CAM 350 monoblock vs Classe CAM-400 or Bryston 4B3 If I will not use something because they make my home unlivable than no sense paying $4,900 for it It won’t, people think Classe Audio amps are Class-A and produce big heat and is going to roast them. They are not, they have as as much Class-A bia... | |
| experience with Threshold SA/2e or S/500 amps? rbstehno OP I owned a Threshold S500 and they are a great amps. They like to be biased hot into Class-A so the heatsinks are at about 60c after 2hrs this makes them sound sweet. Nelson said to me once, palms of hands on the top of the heatsinks an... | |
| Classe CAM 350 monoblock vs Classe CAM-400 or Bryston 4B3 Today I found a black Bryston 4B3 power amp for only $3575 on Echohifi.com. Black will match the rest of my rack.Classe over Bryston every day, less the back matching the rack has priority sound. Cheers George | |
| Cross-talk and distortion, chief soundstage contributors... That makes no sense to me. No it wouldn’t until you’ve tried it, too much converting back and forward, just like slotting in a digital active xover like a Deqx or mini DSP instead of using a very good analog active xover like the Pass B4. Same dea... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? The bridged ones, would have been crap also into your Revels as well for the reason outlined. And as for pre to power impedance, I don’t see 800 ohms into 10000 ohms such a bad mismatch either.Cheers George | |
| Possible ac line static. Or switch mode power supplies (SMP), they can be noisy evil things especially cheap wall wart ones. Also desktop power and lap top supplies. Just go near them with a portable am radio tuned off station around 600khz, turn up the volume, make sure ... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? I’ll keep mine until I have the $20-30K to buy a Pass product. Don’t know where you buy used Pass X150.5 that we're talking about here, but they go for $1500 to $3000 all over the place. https://www.hifishark.com/model/pass-labs-x-150-5Cheers George | |
| Best Amp For Infinity Kappa 8.1 Speakers mfb33 Used pair of Parasound Halo JC1 in high class-A mode for sweetness, if you can afford them. Or as daltonlanny said a Parasound HCA-3500, but it will be a touch hard. Any Krell power amp will do EG KSA 150 200 or 250. None of the other amps... | |
| Cross-talk and distortion, chief soundstage contributors... Trouble with that is there goes the sound of the owners prized dac, because now there’s inferior cheap digital stages in use in the signal path. Been down that dead end path, trying to do digital domain xovers, you ruin any class your prize dac ha... | |
