| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i I believe yes, in the upper mids and highs. Class D will equal or can even better in the bass or low bass, but from mids up the JC1's especially with the higher bias Class A switch on, should be far better that the ClassD, for these reason here I ... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie Donzi, "usually" the better speakers "less coloured" are the harder ones to drive, brands like Wilson and many others even worse than Thiel. Cheers George | |
| Levinson No 39 fussy about cds Sound very much like the laser has almost seen it’s day.They are hard to get also and won’t be cheap.CDM12 Ind / VAU1252You could try to clean it, if it was in a smokey environment, with a cotton bud moistened in methylated spirit or alcohol and v... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie Sorry jafant this is no so correct either, they are 86db efficient, not so inefficient, so wattage is not the issue. A pair of 25w (yes that’s not a misprint) Mark Levinson ML2 monoblocks will drive them nicely, though not to party levels. They ca... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie donzi If I go with something of higher quality (ML, Bryston, etc.) These have no volume control, which implies to me that these are downstream from a pre-amp or controller of sorts. Right then, sorry only read your title, if you need an integrated... | |
| Amp for Sonus Faber Elipsa SE pkelly1504Hello & thanks for the responses.Would the best option be to buy tube mono blocks with the most power for the $$?No, just throwing tube watts at them is not the answer. Wattage is not the answer here, current is, and for that you nee... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie donzi Hi.Your Thiels are a very heavy load for an amp, very similar to the 3.7's This is the same type of amp I would also recommend to you. https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1287953 Here is your 3.6 load graph, almost identical. Compare the 1st gr... | |
| Amp for Sonus Faber Elipsa SE pkelly1504 Hi, Really nice speakers you have there, but to get them to sing right, especially in the bass, for these Sonus Faber’s you need an amp that can almost double it’s wattage from 8ohm to 4ohm to 2ohm (eg: 100w 200w 400w) And that means am... | |
| Accuphase voltage conversion All I require is a photo, or a schematic of someone who has a 120v version. What I’m saying if this question needed to be asked, and one doesn’t know how to do it oneself using a DMM. Then it would be much safer to get a electronics technician to... | |
| What's that noise? The "noise" does stop just below full volume Then it could be the pot wiper going open circuit. If it doesn't start playing up elsewhere on the rotation, don't worry about it, as it's looks from pics I saw on Google a motorized one, and isn't goin... | |
| Amp for stereo subs swampwalkerGet this s/h ClassD only $550, bass is what they do best. I wanted it for my bass, but shipping to Australia is too much.https://app.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-wyred-4-sound-st-250-stereo-power-amplifier-2015-12-22-amplifiers-931... | |
| What's that noise? If this only happens at full max volume rotation, could be the pots wipers are going open circuit, and the input of the next stage (output line amp section) is seeing this open circuit and will be noisy. If this is the case and it’s fine when you ... | |
| Oversampling Setting On Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Player stereo5 Here is a link, on what their doing to the Hap-Z1ES, by some that know their stuff, but I don’t know if it will equal or be better than the Esoteric’s PCM1704 equipped multibit convertor for Redbook replay. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/d... | |
| Oversampling Setting On Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Player coliI see Digikey listing PCM1704 at $72 each (not the K version), Ebay got the K version listed for similar price..Thanks Coli but no luck.Looked like Digikey "may" have some old stock, just tried to buy a couple, to put away for spares. Unfortun... | |
| Accuphase voltage conversion pip555 OPThanks for all the replies. From what I have read on other forums, the Accuphase transformer is multi-tap (therefore multi voltage), so in theory, all one should have to do is rearrange the transformer wires. All I require is a photo, or ... |
