| Recommendation for specific amp (must have 110 /220V) switch ether OP Still trying to sell my Cary CDP-1 which I enjoyed but it can’t switch t he voltage Yes you can, it’s the same as my Cary 303/200 is, just fuse location change, I circled in red for you. https://ibb.co/XFDnPPZFrom the CDP-1’s manual"P... | |
| Recommendation for specific amp (must have 110 /220V) switch ether For around $5500us new, you’ll get the new John Curl designed Parasound Halo JC5, will drive anything.The three red switches in the internal shot give you voltage selection. No noisey SMP power supply, a proper linear power supply, and no cl... | |
| System phenomenon when playing loud Looks like they are not opposed to using iron core chokes to save some money. These could saturate when "cranked up loud" as you put it.http://www.hifishock.org/galleries/speakers/triangle/_cache/altea-esw-2-triangle-280x196.jpghttp://www.hifishoc... | |
| System phenomenon when playing loud This can happen very much so if the xover in the speakers are using iron core instead of air core inductors, they are cheaper but can saturate at high power and cause compressive effect of the dynamics, same goes for the driver voice coils when th... | |
| good preamp for First Watt F7 As it is, I routinely use the the F7 with a B1 which has no voltage gain, but my sources have 2V or more. A lower output impedance than the B1’s 1kohm "may" sound better into the F7’s 10kohm Maybe trial (14days) the $299 active unity gain Saga-S ... | |
| Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax and ignore the hoopla. This is also directed at Nelson pass in a round about way. --------------------------The only hoopla is your own-------------------------- | |
| Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be? Sorry but "You are full of it and talking nonsense" sleepysurf.To the other esl owners The "slightest" wobble back or forward will effect the image/depth perception, that’s why we spike/blu-tac two ways to solid stands, so there is no back/forward... | |
| Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax And both of you know better than Nelson Pass, what a 1st order "furphy" | |
| Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax Solution? use a BIGGER FUSE.. Nelson would say, Oh dear!!! with a head shake. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I don't understand why people are not entitled to there opinions. Get over it, some people just like class d. Ah yes but it goes the other way too, "some people just don't like the sound of most Class-D's" They are just as entitled to have th... | |
| good preamp for First Watt F7 bakalovb OP You need a little gain also with the F7 being only 14db.Just go with the Schiit Freya-S or Freya-+ both have 75ohm output impedance on rca on their active stages and a gain of 4, and should drive the F7 no problem. Stay away from the S... | |
| Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax I bet Mr. Pass is behind the power curve for wire directionality and power cords, too. How dare you belittle Nelson Pass, that would be a BIG NO, Nelson Pass would never believe in voodoo fuse BS, and neither would any of his colleagues that are ... | |
| PL EVO Pre - Output transformers! so do output transformers in a preamp add distortion or not Colouration "mellow warm" is a form of distortion. Good caps get closer to the sound of direct coupling.Cheers George | |
| Any Audio Pro a4-14 owners in here? Forgotten classics old school Audio-Pro, I had the B2.50 active sub with isobaric'd drivers, great sub. https://www.audiopro.com/wp-content/themes/audio-pro/assets/images/timeline/3.jpg And your Active A4-14 were supposed to be good too. http... | |
| My beloved CDP finally bit the dust I've got a Cambridge CXC Keep the Cambridge CXC it’s a great transport with extremely low jitter, and get hold of a better dac than the Zdac, maybe even one with remote volume control and bypass the manual Transcends one.Cheers George |
