| Thoughts on Tube vs SS amplification for Sony SS AR1s sfmorris OP @george accuphase seems to have some good integrated that double through to 2 ohms. Do you have any personal suggestions? Yes, my order would be. Gryphon Diablo 120 or 300 if you have the funds https://gryphon-audio.dk/shop/integrat... | |
| Active Not powered stand mount loudspeaker recommendations Kii3 and Avantgarde zero to me were both surgical in their sound, impressive presentation of the fundamental of musical notes, but with no apparent decaying of the harmonic structure of those fundamental notes to their sound, impressive but not en... | |
| An old Forte' model 3 made new It also seems that the model 3 could be made into a 1A simply by swapping the secondary power leads and readjusting the channel bias. Correct, I believe many 3 owners had that done if they owned efficient speakers. Thank you for the clarificatio... | |
| Thoughts on Tube vs SS amplification for Sony SS AR1s sfmorris Thoughts on Tube vs SS amplification for Sony SS AR1s Forget tube, your going to need a "good solid state amp" that can deliver copious amounts of current in to 2ohms, if you want the bass of these to give their very best. With the spea... | |
| Preowned Focal 1027Be or New Focal Aria 936? take the 1027Be without hesitation. Without a doubt.But these these need a solid state amp with "current" balls. It said they measure much like the 1037Behttps://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/707FOCFIG1.jpg (fig.1) indicates that it is a... | |
| An old Forte' model 3 made new 4krowme I restored a Model-1A, years ago, 50w Class-A into 8ohms to all it’s glory, no opamp chip in it though, but from memory Nelson used a match pair of input fets (Q1) transistors that were in one package (these canlook like a 6 leg opamp chip... | |
| Bi - Amping Ensure that the gain on the different amplifiers are the same. They won't be, and that's what the $49 Schiit Sys passive is for.Cheers George | |
| Bi - Amping lordrootman OP Halo A21+ on the mids and highs, because it’s "high bias Class A/AB operation" John Curl design, which will be better for the mids and highs. And probably the Anthem ( Sixteen bipolar output devices per channel ) on the bass for the... | |

| Suggestions regarding preamplifier choice May I suggest you try a Schiit Audio Freya+ its $899usd made in USA, and gets fantastic review. Single ended, Balanced inputs outputs. Selectable tube buffer stage or SS buffer stage or passive. Remote. 👍 a winnerCheers George | |

| Tube monoblock options? Really!!! If your referring to OTL's into those loads 🤦♂️ The bass will sound like a stick of salami wack’ed against a lounge your suit, and it’ll be all mid/highs dominated. https://www.stereophile.com/images/1018FoKan2fig1.jpgBut if your referr... | |
| Where can I get a CD Transport ksl-2130ccm in the US 1trackmind Your UCD-100 uses a Sony KSS-213C laser easy to get and cheap, pay a little more and get the whole mech assembly and laser, it’s easier to fit. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR4.TRC2.A0.H0.... | |
| Tube monoblock options? lilchris9 OP Like I said above a 275 or 75 will do very nice for the Kanta’s mids and tops, but they won’t drive this kind of bass loading very well between 60hz to 150hzAs with the combined impedance and -phase angle it will look very nasty, dow... | |
| Tube monoblock options? lilchris9 A bridgeable amplifier can potentially supply as much as 4x as much power in mono mode as in stereo mode, depending on the specific design, but that increase in power capability is usually accompanied by several sonic downsides As brid... |
