| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... You may want to have a look at a well broken in Jeff Rowland (JRDG) Continuum 500. Rather than a classic SS using discrete components, it is a class D design using ICEpower ASP1000 modules, a Power Factor Correction / rectifier front end that feed... | |
| Quietest 500GB Firewire drive? Hi Kijanki. You mention 1Tb Hitachi drive. . . is that a 2.5 inch drive? Do you have the part number or a link to its description? Thanks, G. | |
| HRS Isolation damping plates I have not tried damping plates, but I have a hunch that Glory is absolutely correct. I suspect that A bag full of led shot on top of a component may be as effective as any expensive solution. You can also try the effect of maple butcherblock on t... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Hi Audiofil, I do appreciate your quandry. . . as I am totally blind I can't see even the large display of the Capri. The Criterion display is a pixel map display and the firmware can be updated via a USB port. I will ask JRDG if large characters ... | |
| Hansen Emperor vs...... Unless I am mistaken, the speakers were driven by Halcro electronics. G. | |
| Hansen Emperor vs...... Thank you Wildwildwes for the model correction. Unfortunately I can report only what my ears detected, regardless of lore. . . . and that system sounded screetchy to these ears, beyond what I deemed to be the venue's fault. G. | |
| break-in for Marantz SA-7S1 Not surprised at all Tinear1. . . let us know how things are when you reach the 500 hrs mark. . . then at the 1000 hrs mark. Happy listening! G. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Another way to answer, is that the OPA1632 is just a component. . . the sound of a pre depends on much more than the chips used in it.. . . or in other words. . . "it's all in the handle". G. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Kawika, my answer is "Yes; no; and definitely. . . may be!" A classic "non answer". . . the operative word is "can" as you say in your own question. The Burr Brown OPA1632 is apparently an extremely low noise, low distortion, and very high bandwid... | |
| Direct from PC or wireless Thank you Robr45, care explaining/expanding? G | |
| Quietest 500GB Firewire drive? I agree. . . prices are usually high upon release. It's just the novelty/convenience factor. . . I also do not know if the Lacie 2X500Gb 2.5 inch external package is quiet or not. G. | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? Broederen, if the tubes are 6550 types, one of them can probably be inserted in the single 6550-compatible socket in the power supply of the Ref 3. As Tung Sols seem to be fatter than SEDs, make sure that the lower portion of the glass does not to... | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? It all depends what Tung Sols Black Plate 1957tubes you purchased. | |
| Quietest 500GB Firewire drive? It appears Lacie may have released a 1Tb external drive in the 2.5 inch format. The device actually contains 2 500Gb hard drives in a single box package weighing 1.4Lbs. It is sold by NewEgg for $575.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item... | |
| break-in for Marantz SA-7S1 "A slightly out-of-focus presentation sounds more like the "real thing, as compared to most stereo systems."Once again I agree with you MRT, that's why I suggest that our hobby is about the creation of a desirable 'hyperreality', not so much a rep... |
