| Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/710Wilfig1.jpg 2ohms in the bass power region with some - phase angle as well, is a hard load, these speakers need an amp >100w with good current delivery to get the best from in the bass. Look for... | |
| Classe DR-25 worth buying? baranyi Classe DR-25 worth buying? I had one, tried to give it some "life" for want of a better words with some mods, improved it a little but still sounded a little dynamically lame. Plenty watts and current, would drive anything just a little ... | |
| One pair of speakers, two different speaker wire One pair of speakers, two different speaker wire I have Martin Logan Monolith III's in a bi-amped way. I found oxygen free copper for the esl and silver for the bass to be the best of both worlds. The other way around is too clinical for the es... | |
| PROAC RESPONCE 2 replacement drivers ??? Still unavailable? I got this off the net.Seas/Scan what’s a "Pickled Herring" between Vikings.BTW looks like all 2’s surrounds are foam, even when replaced by Proac (linked), but the Seas you link to are rubber.http://www.hifi4sale.net/t6958-proa... | |
| Amp selection for someone on a modest budget... tesi Amp selection for someone on a modest budget I’m looking to add a power amp next. Revel Performa3 F208 speakers Best bang for buck at the moment is a single Schiit Vidar @ $699, and should drive those Revels nicely. Maybe later get the Fre... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? gerryah930 Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7 I’ve heard all the WP’s that Wilson obsessed friends owned up to the 8’s Sasha and Sabina. The one out of those that stood out for me was the 7’s. After that the Alexia I was a bit better and the... | |
| PROAC RESPONCE 2 replacement drivers ??? Unobtainium. Great little speaker btw.They were made specially for Proac by SEAS, without knowing the T/S parameters, you’ll never find a sub. You can get the roll surround done if they are still working if that’s all they need.Cheers George | |
| Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar You can use these for the Loki, if your insistent on using the balanced on the source and amps. otherwise use single ended everywhere.https://www.jaycar.com.au/3-pin-xlr-type-to-rca-adaptors/p/PA3802 https://www.jaycar.com.au/3-pin-xlr-type-to-rca... | |
| Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar I disagree, however, that SE sounds better in *most* cases. In fact, I believe the opposite is true This is your belief, I found the opposite true with 2mt or less interconnects. Who wants extra opamps in the signal path for balanced operation if... | |
| Classe CDP-10 - Trouble reading some CD's tcrossma Classe CDP-10 - Trouble reading some CD’s It’s the laser, getting tired.I had one, nice machine hdcd also, it uses a Philips VAM1250 laser, easy/cheap to replace if your a little mechanically minded, no special tools or any adjustments ... | |
| Most transparent power amp What is the compromise in implementing the ZEROs Easy, you can hear/do this for yourself. On any amp that has no problem driving whatever speaker without the Zero’s. Then put the Zero’s in and you will then hear the compromises they make.But they... | |
| 601 fuse size That amp has a sentry monitor ( circuit breaker) that is fuse-less ! Now the OP can buy him a real gift that may be appreciated.Cheers George | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses Have you ever sat with a classical trained violinist and ask them what violin(s) they prefer, perhaps a Stradivari or Amati, and if they have a preference, ask them if they measured the violin for its performance. They feel the need to do as t... | |
| Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar To bad the Loki doesn't have balanced connectivity in/out. Now, "that would be something" :) It's only an advantage with noise, if the interconnects are over 10mts long. Single ended in most cases sound better, because many balanced inputs or o... |
