| Wilson Sofia 2 vs marten dajango L Tyler Acoustic Linbrook Can’t find anything in the way of impedance vs -phase angle graphs on these, so I can’t even comment.Cheers George | |
| Wilson Sofia 2 vs marten dajango L I am staying with all McIntosh ...what speakers do you feel are a good match with the MC501s ....any suggestions ? You should treat them as you would a good tube amp, as the output transformers are the limiting factor to how nastier load they can ... | |
| Wilson Sofia 2 vs marten dajango L In my opinion the zero’s are an interim band-aid fix for something that can’t drive it properly without them. I’ve played with them and found that with an amp that IS very capable of doing the job properly, and then inserting them even though they... | |
| VTL MB450 Schematic Most VTL and other push pull tube amps are loosely based on the Williamson push/pull amp circuit, if the tech is experienced he shouldn't need it.https://www.google.com.au/search?q=Williamson+Tube+Amp+circuit&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&... | |
| Wilson Sofia 2 vs marten dajango L http://www.stereophile.com/images/912marten.fig1.jpg http://www.stereophile.com/images/211Wilfig01.jpgThey are both very hard to drive in the bass with impedance and -phase angle for a transformer coupled amp as the MC500, it will work but you may... | |
| DAC for CD transport 48 posts11-27-2016 3:22pmStill have low knowledge about the DSD/DXD format, want to stick to CD's, the simple and practical way..Then stick to Multibit.Cheers George | |
| Mismatched preamp and CD player? att: kythyn Just keep everything you want plugged into the "powered up" GTP-500 and use your source selector switch to select different sources, and the tape outputs of the 500, go to one of the inputs of the SYS, then the SYS becomes your volume... | |
| Mismatched preamp and CD player? could I somehow use the phono stage of the Adcom GTP-500?Yes just switch to it from the tuner, still the tape out goes into one of SYS inputs Cheers George | |
| Parasound JC1 vs Plinius sb301 John Curl’s Halo JC1’s mono’s all day every day, especially in high-bias mode, and especially when driving harder loads.As the JC1’s are Bi-polar (BJT) output devices, which far out perform (when the going gets hard) the Mosfets which I believe Pl... | |
| Mismatched preamp and CD player? Too much system gain! Get rid of the active preamp, and get one of these for $49. http://schiit.com/products/sys You can still use the tuner, just come out of the tape out into the Schiit Sys passive preamp. Your system may very well sound better ... | |
| BAT VKD5SE problems reading some cds If none of the connections are soldieredAlways a plug on Philips VAM series lasers which this unit has. Some have a protective static solder blob that bridges across two tracks that need to be unbridged after it’s installed, this is easy.As for se... | |
| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. The Exogal Comet Plus has been garnering a lot of nice reviews. Yes this would be interesting as the Comet+ is a different conversion topology, as it's bitstream Delta Sigma (PCM4104) geared towards DSD.With PCM (Redbook 16/44 or 24/96 or DXD) med... | |
| BAT VKD5SE problems reading some cds srgarrellMost probably the laser getting tired, the VK-D5se uses a Phillips Vam12 laser, find out on google if it’s interchangable with any of the other Vam ones, as they are all very cheap to pickup on ebay, even the whole mechanisim with laser, ... | |
