| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars Mistake, these are only $330,000 usd the WAMM Master Chronosonic are 3/4 of a million. https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/wilson-audio-wamm-master-chronosonic-desert-silver-finish-cg-picture...Also need D’Agostino’s amps to drive them, those green th... | |
| Accounting for slight hearing loss I would experiment with just turning the balance a little to the left. Problem is he has a "notched out hearing attenuation" in the left ear only at 3khz. That’s why the Loki will be good "hooked up to the left channel only" then you can bump up ... | |
| Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp almarg FWIW I suspect that the solid state Pass XA25 I use would be fine in that regard lordrootman OP @almarg thanks you’re exactly right is rated 102dB I will check pass lab out I would also check out for "value" the Schiit Aegir 20w of Cla... | |
| Isolation Transformers So how would you know what the Inakustik does or does not? I’m just saying anything between the poweramp’s power supply and the mains "has to" introduce some sort of series resistance. And that "has to" reduce the stiffness of the amps power supp... | |
| Isolation Transformers bass is a tighter? Less grain maybe but I find the tighter bass puzzling as it goes against everything a stiff power supply is, unless somehow it's rolling the bass off earlier, which is impossible in my books.Cheers George | |
| Upgrade Krell KSA 250 to what? A real dilemma on my hands .... You could trade it in on the new JC1+’s Just say sometimes it doesn’t turn on so your not hiding anything it’s not blown up, If you pick the right retailer they’ve got their own repair that’ll fix it and they’ll get... | |
| Isolation Transformers If the $149 250w isn’t big enough, there are bigger, right up to 1000w, https://www.newark.com/c/transformers/isolation-transformers?brand=tripp-lite But still no power amp should go through any conditioner no matter what the cost.Cheers George | |
| Isolation Transformers No but at $3.5k!!! I would try the $149usd option first. Which ever nothing is still best for poweramps, as they need to have the stiffest connection to the mains, no "resistive components" between their power supplies and the mains zero impedanc... | |
| Isolation Transformers Inakustik 3500P $3.5K!!! I'd go the $149 Newark one above first.Here's the data sheet. http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2357270.pdf?_ga=2.235938311.78280552.1582701028-203377982.1582701028 It's got no audiophile markup $$$'s attached to i... | |

| Accounting for slight hearing loss akgwhiz OP Alternatively, the Loki is at the end if the chain and will do it’s own internal ADC, process, then DAC on the way to amp. No sorry @akgwhiz , your looking at the old Loki dac (a deleted Schiit product). The new $149 Schiit Loki today ... | |
| Which SS integrated amp to choose? apanhc OP Gryphon Integrated Diablo 120 or 300 if you can stretch it, you won’t look back with either of those driving the SF Guarneri, and they’ll drive anything in the future if you ever go bigger with the speakers.Diablo 120 https://6moons.c... | |

| Upgrade Krell KSA 250 to what? bobbydd OP Upgrade Krell KSA 250 to what? The Krell was a Bi-polar output classic, able to "almost" keep doubling it’s wattage down to 2ohms, they had a bit of Class-A bias on them as well about 12w. You obviously like what this sort of amp does g... |
