| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 Don’t listen to the clown above suggesting tubes for these speakers, he has no idea. A tube into this kind of load will have a lean bass (unless it has a 2ohm tap) and an exaggerated treble.Stereophile Because the magnitude is considerably higher ... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 btbluesky OP George, that was actually pretty useful information with your mate’s Wilson. Now, the fact that we are talking about the Alexia, its an extremely difficult load for any amp. The focal sopra 2 on the other hand is very easy load. The S... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? development deserves a 100% support from all of us 👍yep! | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 the amps he listed will surely be in another category well above the JC-1, not that it isn’t a great amp. No sorry, the JC1's are as good today as anything, and I would back them over those two any day. As I said if you missed it, it took a Gr... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 btbluesky OP So I figure to get the best out of this chain is the fastest neutral amp I can get my hands on. You’ve got that with the JC1’s in normal bias, and then in high bias mode they’ll have that Class-A warmness added. And the big + they dr... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 btbluesky I’ve been itching to upgrade my amp. What is it that you don’t like about the JC1’s (in high class-A) mode, these are great amps for your speakers which are a bit of an evil load from 60hz to 150hz, similar to the 3’s it’s said. https:/... | |
| What is wrong here.. on Audiogon? GeorgeSo your saying, a PS Audio Gain Cell Dac or similar would be a good choice? How about a Schiit Saga? Depends, what your source? and does it have a volume control? Then you'll get hopefully informed opinions from others here as well.Cheers G... | |
| What is wrong here.. on Audiogon? coachpoconnor I don’t get it. I ask a legitimate question about help on picking a preamp for my Pass Labs amp. I get maybe 10 responses. Active preamps are a dying breed, sources these days with multiple inputs high output, and output stages as g... | |
| Schiit Aegir power amplifier low power Class-A linear amp Stereophile review George: I’ve also been happily pleased with my Schiit gear and with the price of their gear flying in the face of everyone else just makes me smile. Yeah, it’s good stuff, without the "million dollar external gilding" that sucks so many "glitz qu... | |
| Just auditioned Martin Logan ESL vs 60xt but I've never heard an amp just sound awful then sound great on a pair of normal speakers. That's because it couldn't handle the ESL's loading. You needed to hear the ESL's again with an amp that can take 1ohm loading and do it comfortably wi... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss You are in every thread about people enjoying Class D Yes, I do post a lot in others threads on the behavior of Class-D, especially into low impedance loads when I can see they aren't suited to get the best from the speakers..But unlike you, ... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Fishing for dirt again Eric, sooooooooo predicable. Why do you have it in for Nelson Pass’s amps so much, did one do damage to you financially or in return service work, or do you blame them for the bad sound you may have had at the time. | |
| Just auditioned Martin Logan ESL vs 60xt Just went through Magnolia’s amplifier range, there’s nothing there that will drive ML ESL’s well.They even have the ML Neoliths advertised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are they even doing stocking ML ESL’s, what a crap hifi... | |
| Just auditioned Martin Logan ESL vs 60xt dtximages OP Give this dealer a wide berth, he stinks.All ML esl’s go down to 1ohm in the treble, and to drive them with a surround sound amp Marantz sr7705 receiver.. is just ludicrous, it’s as if he wanted you to buy the 60xt instead. ML ESL’s s... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load It's also interesting that Stereophile didn't bother reporting specified power rating at 2ohmsYes this is always and indication, that it's not happy doing those loads, it may handle them and make some noise into them, but then so can the NAD3020... |
