| Fuse upgrade on Marantz SA-10 & Marantz UD9004 raysmtb1 It’s all BS and snake oil valentinofv OP1 posts that’s not the answer I was looking for. I’ve heard you can improve the sound quality significantly when doing it. And here we go again, 1 post and and a "staunch fuser" already, and to b... | |
| Has Anyone Heard or Own the Jay’s Audio CDP-2 CD PLAYER ? Will be great, the dac's the more controlling factor over the sound quality, and the Soekris is a beaut.Cheers George | |

| Floor Speakers Speakers for Movies / TV outdated Floor Speakers Speakers for Movies / TV Big panel speakers to give big effortless sound.A pair of old Magneplaner Tympani 1D’s come to mind, they’ll do the bass too so no subs needed, then you something like a Maggie 1.7 on it’s side for... | |
| buget used amp ? thegoldenear Adcom GTP-500ii, the amp will be power Thiel cs 1.6. The Pre Amp and Speakers will not be replaced. Thiel cs 1.6 they’re not the easiest to drive, especially around the 100-200hz area,https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/T... | |
| 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? That will ne be the case with the Reference 5s. You will have peak output of about 100dBs before the amp clips. This is going to mean VERY flabby bass. Yes as I also said the bass is the problem unless there’s a 4ohm tap, then ultimate loudness is... | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? Gain setting for ht output must be set all the way up to enable sound to flow thru unit, before ht volume controls are used. There is no HT output to be switched to on the Freya, so that's a problem of the input sensitivity of whatever your fe... | |
| 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? What George is saying here is bad advice. That’s wrong you’ll encounter a tonal issue That’s just what sets do, look at ANY SET into the Stereophile simulated speaker load frequency response graph, most sets act like tone controls. thegreenman ... | |
| 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? thegreenman OP 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? You should be fine with P/P 845 or 211’s, or even SE ones with the speakers being 90db, and if the amps have a 4ohm tap, and you don’t want to go too loud with the SE’s. The 8ohm tap wi... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina X vs Revel Ultima Salon 2 In fact this proves my point further about the mcintosh being stable into lower loads I never said they are unstable, most amps with output transformers tube or transistor are inherently stable, just won’t deliver the big current needed into the b... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina X vs Revel Ultima Salon 2 Tested by Sterophile the DAW is a far easier loading for an amp in the bass, than the Sabrina X is. Big difference in phase angle in the bass -60 degrees for the X vs only -35 for the DAW. And the min impedance is far broader for the X.https://www... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina X vs Revel Ultima Salon 2 I had the pleasure of A/Bing the Sabrina X vs the Salon 2 I don’t think that Mac is the right amp for the Sabrina X , you’ll have to use the 2ohm tap if it has one, then the wattage might not be enough because the lower the impedance tap the less ... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? what are your thoughts on watt puppy 8's? 7's were my fav of all the watt/puppies, my friend had them all, thought they went backwards with the 8's when he got them, they lost their immediacy I thought.And the Alexia's are in another world Chee... | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? If anyone is reading this, the semiconductor supply chain right now is a disaster with exceptionally long lead times, and the change in supply chain happened really fast, so those without inventory or orders on the books with suppliers could be ha... | |
| Sabrina X Amp Suggestions jjjason1 Stereophile tested measurments:The minimum magnitude is 2.44 ohms at 135Hz. However, there is also a combination of 4.44 ohms and a capacitive phase angle of –58° at 72Hz, a frequency where music can have considerable energy; this will... |
