| Tube pre to mate with a Simaudio amp and Dynaudio Agree about the Hovland... Heard it with Dyn S25s and a sim w5 a few times... perfect combination. I own a supratek syrah, though, and it is also perfect for dyn and sim, but you must wait if you want one | |
| Revel Salon and Plinius SA102 LOL Are you Kidding? "i believe the plinius is class A..." so you're making a prejudgement? The Plinius 102 Owns - Yeah the plinius is 125W at 8 ohms, doubles down to 4 ohms to 250 and is MEGA CURRENT Class A design. The current is more important ... | |
| Sonus Faber Semi - which of the B series have you heard? How is it better than the ST series? | |
| Test CD for positioning speakers and subwoofer I use the Rives audio test CDhttp://www.amusicdirect.com/products/detail.asp?sku=ARIVESCD2Great test cd, calibrated to use with the Radio Shack SPL meter. | |
| Most "Ruthlessly Revealing" Speakers. Your opinion "ruthlessly revealing" isn't necessarily an oxymoron. A pair of speakers can be incredibly revealing and "ruthlessly" display any flaws of upstream components. Of course, this may/may not be a good thing, depending what type of electronics/other c... | |
| ZYX RS20 vs Denon DL103 with a 47K load on my supratek Syrah, my denon 103R sounds like ass. Very thin sounding. Pushing this down to 100ohms makes it sound MUCH better. More body. I would look into upgrading turntables before upgrading cartridges. Even a Rega P3 with an... | |
| Best Rock Cartridge for Rega $600 HANDS DOWN Denon DL103R, available from Audiocubes @ $250. HOWEVER - I don't know what the phono is like in your preamp. Is it just a MM phono? If so - You'll need to find a step up tranny - should be able to find one and stay in budget. We're tal... | |
| Jolida JD 100 vs. Simaudio Moon Equinox I own the JD100 (various NOS tubes, mullards greats many 5751s great, new varieties are probably fine too) and have spent a LOT of time with Sim amps and cd products...Definitely disagree with the poster who commented above about a tube lover not ... | |
| I want profoundly better bass seek out subwoofers from rel and velodyne | |
| Can Piega P10's Be Placed Up Against The Wall? George, I've owned these speakers.A great pair of speakers IF and ONLY IF you have the room for them. 3 or four feet away from every wall at a MINIMUM (preferably more) or you're wasting your time/money with these speakers. Otherwise bass will be ... | |

| Is this nuts? But it's fun! Give em a try! | |
| Turntable Platforms - Low mass? High mass? Why? Thanks Nsgarch, that approach does make sense.Currently I have a Rega P25 sitting on a spiked Ikea Lack table - no mechanical diode as nsgarch calls out. I have been told that this is a good setup for this table. Would a Michell Gyrodeck work just... | |
| Effective "effective mass" primer for dummies Wow, thanks for the helpful responses! | |
| Dynaudio C1 or S25? Have you had a chance to audition these two models side by side in the same system? I'm considering upgrading my Dyn S1.4s to one of these two. I've heard the Special 25s which I love. I haven't heard the C1s yet. I like the more conventional look... |
