| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Alec,Great system. I would verify that it is a problem confined to the analog chain by listening for the same problems during digital playback. Ascertain that this is not a problem with speaker/room interaction.If it is indeed the Analog source, c... | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? T.It will be a good system with either Esoteric and Luxman cdps. They are very different in sound so audition is a must. Server and dac is not a bad way to go either.Good luck | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? I use Luxman with Verity and tried quite a few amps (Pass 350.5, Naim 250.2 of the above mentioned). The 590 has a very direct and dynamic sound that is absent even in the Luxman separates. I was very happy with the sound of 590 in my system. The ... | |
| High Current SS amps with input impedance = 200K Al,THanks for the kind words and explanation. I will con't to experiment. | |
| High Current SS amps with input impedance = 200K Al,Thanks for responding. Th preamp in questions:Einstein the tube, 100ohmsAllnic L400, 250ohms (supposely flat with transformer coupled design)ARC Ref 3, 600ohms (1400ohms at 20Hz)I use interconnects 1 meter in length Nordost and Stealth.Many tha... | |
| High Current SS amps with input impedance = 200K I think there is more than just a calculated drop of output in the bass frequencies. 0.4db would be difficult to hear especially at 20Hz. My SS amps have input imped of 67K ohms. I have used a few tube preamp that has specified output imped of 100... | |
| Avalon Opus Ceramique vs B&W N802's Opus ceramique has very little bass. It is a speaker designed for small room that trap bass energy. Unless room is tiny, look for eidelon or higher. I previously owned ceramique and Diamond. I have also owned the 312 which IMHO is poor match with ... | |
| Okay, Classe CA 2200 or and Ayre V -5xe amps Tried the Classe 2200 with Avalon Diamond & OPus Cerimique. The pass x350.5 is better in most ways. Did not try the ayre. Lamm is good too | |
| Tools to measure in room response I tried the PAA3 and I currently use Fuzzmeasure. I find the sweep of PAA3 takes too long and very susceptable to ambient noise. Fuzzmeasure allows 1/3 octave to 1/48 octave smoothing with RT60 calcutalions at 1/3 octave. The sweep time and freq r... | |
| Best speaker used under $1000 for piano rec. It'd help if you can elaborate on which aspect of the piano do you enjoy the most. I am also a fellow piano music lover and different speakers produces certain aspect of the piano more than others. Transient attack, decay, different weighting of t... | |
| Stealth Dream SC I have tried KS emotions, Valhalla to name a few. The Dream is most satisfying so far. Significantly more resolving than the KS and more powerful bass than Valhalla. I have the same speaker as Argyro and also tried biwire with two runs. The midran... | |
| Suckout at 40 hertz...less pricey solutions? I had a similar problem and my room is 14x22x10 ft. I have a 40-50Hz suckout that can be 15db at its worst ( ctr of the room). I got it to 2-5db (depending on smoothing of freq curve). Many reviewers have a similar issue, just take a look at the m... | |
| Rockport Ankaa and Anquila Andy's products are first class. They measure well and sound great.I almost bought a pair of Rockport speakers. Only reason I did not was due to side firing woofers and I have a realatively narrow room. I was concerned about bass cancellations whe... | |
| EDT, R T30, R T20 My understanding is that they are different approximation of RT60. EDT is the extrapolated RT60 time using decay time -5 to - 15db. T20 is the extrapolated RT60 time using decay time -5 to - 25db. T30 is the extrapolated RT60 time using decay time... | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music I have previously owned Jmlab and Avalon speakers. I am quite happy with Verity speakers and I am primarily a classical music listener. Give it a listen. In my room, the rear firing woofers benefited greatly with some bass traps. I think they are ... |
