| How much do you need to spend on a DAC to... Thanks Mesch,I have 2Ce Sig ii's and an LM audio 216--kt-88 based integrated. | |
| which jumpers for Vandersteen 2 Ce's?? Wound up running home-brewed 14 gauge solid-core biwires to the Vandys. Essentially 8 wires for the pair, coming back to 4 bananas. Soldered terminations on and they sound almost as good as the true biwire oval 12 that I borrowed. They do somethin... | |
| price point to move to separates vs integrated I decided to stay integrated and just piked up a Line Magnetic 216IA. It is a wonderfully musical little amp. | |
| Primaluna Dialogue One or Line Magnetic 218IA? I accidentally put the wrong amp in the title. It is the 216IA (KT-88, not the SET 845) It is 22w in triode and 38 UL. On acoustic tracks, solo guitar, cello, etc. it is okay with triode. In ultra linear it hasn't had any issues driving them. I in... | |
| Primaluna Dialogue One or Line Magnetic 218IA? Wound up getting the lm218 after some ear time. I found it to be quite dynamic and yet lush without sounding overtly euphonic. Listening to a living stereo piano recording at the moment and am excited by the realism of the combo. | |
| Primaluna Dialogue One or Line Magnetic 218IA? A good question. Not really, it is more of a matter of wondering if I am missing out on anything I am unaware of in the Dialogue. | |
| Primaluna Dialogue One or Line Magnetic 218IA? Oops, wrong model number. Should have been 216ia. It is a KT 88, not the 845. The 218 is about $1500 more.... | |
| which jumpers for Vandersteen 2 Ce's?? So, this seems an odd question: Am I better off using my single run AQ Type 4 with a jumper for now or should I get cheap double runs to biwire? (radioshack???? I am not trying to be snobby or snarky, but it just seems wrong somehow--sorry. I have... | |
| which jumpers for Vandersteen 2 Ce's?? Thanks everyone for your input. Stringreen--I just checked out your system--Nice! I have been considering Anticables, AQ and Analysis Plus when I do have the $$$ to go that route. Which version (level) of the Anticables do you have, that you love? | |
| Just Ordered... Timo62, Good points. I heard them with both Leben and Naim amplification. I really liked the Leben sound. Naim was solid but didn't have the "soul" that the Leben did. I have also heard good things about line magnetic but havent auditioned them. I... | |
| Where do I go from here? I went to my dealer this weekend and listened to some different gear and the thing that amazed me was that I fell in love with a pair of vandersteens. So, that will be the next move. It solves the bass issue and they have a (to my ears) more natur... | |
| Where do I go from here? Malcom02: You may suggest a sub, but I can't handle subwoofers. (I have had them). I am a classically trained Double Bassist and I don't care how often I hear people say that "you can't tell where bass is coming from" or "bass is omnidirectional",... | |
| Where do I go from here? Thank you everyone! That is a lot of food for thought. I will take all of this knowledge with me when I go see "my guy" this weekend and do some equipment demos. I will let you know what i find out and may come back with more questions. | |
| Where do I go from here? Sorry, I missed the iPhone autocorrects on this. It should be acoustic, not outing and should be sound staging, not so detaching. |
