| replacing Patek integrated with more powerful amp? Yes I've built several of Peter Daniels kits and have tried stereo, parallel and bridge versions. The bridge version certainly sounds more dynamic, however this configuration is not recommended for low impedance speakers. The reason why is that a ... | |
| Leben Owners: which speakers do you use? I owned both the Leben CS600 and now the CS300 and prefer the latter powering my Living Voice OBX-RW speakers. The upbeat spirited nature of the CS300 created a better synergy with the agility and even tonal balance of the Living Voice. The CS300'... | |
| replacing Patek integrated with more powerful amp? Buy another patek and bridge it - more dynamic and powerful. However if ur speakers are low impedance this may not be ideal. A bridge Patel also requires balanced inputs. | |
| Best Speaker for Ongaku Living Voice speakers such as the top model OBX-RW. Apparently the Living Voice OBX-RW model is voiced to Kondo amps. 6-moons reviewer Edward Barker has auditioned these speakers with Kondo amps and considers the combo the best he has heard. | |
| cardas golden cros vs golden reference Golden Cross sounded way too warm and coloured for my wadia 861 cd player jeff rowland 201 amps and B&W804 speakers that i use to own. Haven't heard GR. | |
| How to check my preamp for a DC leak Disconnect your RCA output leads and if you have XLR output leads disconnect them too. Place the leads of your multi meter on the RCA output connectors and measure for DC volts. Then do the same to the XLR output connectors if you have them. On th... | |
| Leben CS 600 vs Audio Note Meishu I use to own the Leben CS600 which had more than enough power for my Living Voice OBX-RW speakers. I agree the CS600 is very well made with no operational issues and the sound quality is excellent - well extended, slightly warm and rounded but not... | |
| Proac response D2 or Harbeth for a Leben cs-600 I use to own the Leben CS600 and Harbeth SHL5. Although pleasant sounding, I wasn't overally impressed with the synergy, even after changing to Sovtek EL34 or Harma 5881 tubes. For my taste I found the Harbeth's sounded better with my Audiosector ... | |
| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker Harbeth SHL5 that I owned were fine but the Living Voice OBX-RW that I own now are much more resolved and balanced at low level listening. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio vs. Harbeth S-HL5 I agree, the Harbeth SHL5 is not particularly fussy to sound good. For me they worked best with SS amps (Audiosector Patek 40w/ch) and solid core speaker cables (DNM Reson cables). Like most speakers they do need some care with choice of stands an... | |
| Speaker cable recommendation for Harbeth DNM Reson cables worked impressively with my SHL5s using either a Leben CS600 tube integrated or a patek gainclone (solid state). | |
| Leben CS-300 compared to Red Wine The Leben CS600 should also be consider with it's greater power (32w or 28w/ch) and flexibility to use different flavoured tubes to fine tune your preferred sound. | |
| To bi-wire or not to bi-wire? In my experience the 804s do sound better biwired. | |
| Can you recommend cables with good PRAT? I agree DNM Reson | |
| Leben CS600 questions? I owned both and they sounded excellent together! Jeff Day's review of them was spot on. |
