| Sound of chip amps / gainclones? Hi CdC,well I've tried the Chip / T amp both ways. There is no HF ringing. Maybe it's the way Peter Daniels implements the design. It also may have something to do with the caps. The Gain card did use Panansonic caps..not sure if they are used now... | |
| Anyone know anything about the Lite DAC 50 Vacuum Basically this is the same Dac offered by DIYclub.biz .You can save your money and just order it from here Lite Dac 60.There's a following for the Audio Mirror Dac as well. Here's the same Dac without the caps upgrade for $135 Dac AH. You can get ... | |
| Preamp/Amp synergy with Cain Abby's? Hi Rene,yes I've communicated with Paul many times. He does think very highly of the F1. The only problem with such an amplifier, is it's limited ability on different speakers.Paul BUI ,Bemopti123 and I all use the same speakers(FTA-2000s). The F1... | |
| Sound of chip amps / gainclones? Here's a small preview of chip amps. Chip amps. "They are excellent at their price point". Reubuent you are too nice!LOLYou know as well as the the rest of us .Price points are pretty much meaningless, when the chips amps are matched with the prop... | |
| Sound of chip amps / gainclones? Cdc..I've been breaking mine in as I type this.I can tell you there are no worries my friend. The dynamic range is simply amazing! I've had the Scott Nixon 40 wpc monos here for audition over a two week period. Terrific little monos..especially wi... | |
| Amplifier Question I agree with R_f_sayles on the amplifier pairing of speakers without question. He is correct ..try putting just any high power amplifier on the wrong speakers and your in for a headache. Power isn't everything, finesse is more important IMHO. ;-) | |
| Preamp/Amp synergy with Cain Abby's? You ever thought of using a low wattage Op chip amp amplifier on the Abbys with a tubed preamp? The combo is terrific. You'll have the low end control and tubed magic all rolled up into one. Super revealing and transparent amplifiers IMO. | |
| Best small intro to tubes? The little Dared products aren't a bad place to start .Small enough for a dresser.With a cool factor too them. Just need to stick with a high efficient speakers.The Eastern Electric equipment is a few steps ahead in build quality and sound. This s... | |
| NON OS DACS Here's a couple of pics of my new NOS Dac.It's kinda of Retro cool to me.The top is clear acrylic with perforated aluminum underneath. The board mounts loosely on the standoffs (I was told it sounds better this way), and the top cover assembly jus... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio 1.3SE I auditioned the Dyn 1.3SE on some McIntosh 1201 monoblocks. The sound was really good.But .oh..ummmm not sure you want to spend $16,000. They go used for around $8000 LOL. Seriously the Macs sounded like a good match .I'm sure a less powerful/exp... | |
| Are silver cables best for my system???? Maybe it's time to look at a speaker without the metal dome tweeter...just a guess. I've always found them to be a little annoying.Some tweets actually add more than what's really there. Sounds like you need a warmer speaker with some upper freque... | |
| NON OS DACS Hey Gunbei ..imagine my surprise! I thought I didn't hear above maybe 15 khz. LOLThe test disc proved me wrong .It also proved my assumption wrong that my speakers had no real output above 16 khz.The SPL meter was still reading decent pressure up ... | |
| NON OS DACS I've been seeing alot about this Audio Mirror Dac. Seems like some good stuff! It reminds me of some of the Dacs from DIYCLUB.com. I almost bought one to try it out. But since I was having an integrated amplifier built. I had the designer to make... | |
| NON OS DACS Thanks guys ..I wanted to confirm .What I've seen a few other folks say about the non OS Dacs. " Less is more" This is the concept I have followed for nearly a year now. The simpler the components seem to get in the system,the better it sounds in ... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker Ok I decided to pick up a digital SPL meter and check some in room frequency responses of the FTA-2000. From some of the above comments it makes one think ..that single driver speakers are only made for simple and soft music..though I'm not a rock... |
