| Tekton Double Impacts @evolvist Yes indeed I love my Lyngdorf and I am well aware of the fact few here in the US own it or know about it. As a long time tube guy, I understand the "cool" factor is pretty low on the unit. It is so understated aesthetically that many wo... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? I missed a couple including some open baffle Hawthorne Audio, Infinity Intermezzo monitors and others I simply can’t remember right now. Goodness. The ones I miss the most are the Dali Grand and Silverline Bolero speakers. Kef 105.2Merlin VSMMerli... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Kenny I like the Soundcoat product that Sonic Craft sells for the inside of electronics. Not conductive and works just great. Just to pricey for the bottom of Audio rack shelving and woofer baskets. | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Kenny you can use pretty much any decent damping material with adhesive backing. Auto parts stores have all kinds like the brand Dynamat. Soundcoat sells a nice product that you can buy from Sonic Craft. Here is a link.https://www.soniccraft.com/a... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Kenny, mod that 508! Bypass those poor sounding binding posts! I know you have skills. Modifying that amp is not for the timid as I am sure you will find 700-1000 Vdc, not 375-500. Ouch! | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Hi Kenny. No I am not, but I wanted to know more facts for the poster. If the poster wants a tube amp it seems like a solid choice. I simply have my system on far too much to run a tube amp. My Lyngdorf unit is just spectacular with my mods and th... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA This is the seller you want. He is the real deal and who we use.http://www.ebay.com/itm/per-foot-Western-Electric-AIW-10ga-STRANDED-cloth-covered-gray-PAIR-/2316636... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Wig, I also run a single wire up the bass to the high frequencies with no jumpers. Simply strip some 5 inches of the Duelund wire and wrap around each post in a continuous run. No connectors needed for best sound. Now I liked the 16 gauge a lot, b... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Thanks Wig. Enjoy listening tonight. I am doing the same! Do do you get your Duelund wire as yet to try as jumpers? | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? @wig I have a few questions on your amp.- Do you hear any hum/buzz through your speakers a foot away? 3 feet away? - Do the transformers make a mechanical buzz noise you can hear when the room is quiet? Not through the speakers, but simply emanati... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Wig, I will add everyone should bypass their speaker binding posts for better sound. Same goes for the amp’s binding posts. Lastly, don’t use any speaker cable spades or bananas if possible. This, as you are starting to learn, makes the music more... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Thanks for getting back. Well then yes the Line Magnetic and LTA ZOTL 40 should work great for you. Two great choices. If you dont want to mess with tubes and all that goes with owning a tube amp, then Pass Labs makes some great amps that you coul... | |
| Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ? Great speakers. I own them also and have used several amps on them. Please let us know the type of music you listen to, the volume level, and your effective room size. I owned two different push/pull tube amps putting out 50 and 60 watts and they ... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp Good posts Thom and you are most accurate and thoughtful in your posts. I am a big fan of 100% point to point and tag strip tube builds. Hard to find these anymore as you know. I also like no electrolytic caps in the power supply...only film. Yes,... | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy Wolf, that has to be one of the funniest posts I have ever read! LOL over and over. |
