| Schiit Mini loko+ @rauliruegas The initial reason to check the frequency response of the speakers in question at my seating position was because its sound was somewhat agressive - particularly noticeable with massed strings as compared to my trusted Gallo ref 3.5. ... | |
| Schiit Mini loko+ Thanks to all for a lively thread and some good advice. @lowrider57 @musicmann1 in particular for sharing their (g)ear-on experience. It is not hard to guess that I will receive a mini loko+ shortly and thus have the possibility to judge myse... | |
| Schiit Mini loko+ Hi everybody and thanks for the suggestions. I feel guity to have withheld salient information. The problem to cure is a +6dB increase in the frequency response between 1200 and 6300Hz as estimated from using the Stereophile Test Record 3 and a ... | |
| Schiit Mini loko+ Exactly right ! You do not want anything in the signal path that you do not need.... HOWEVER: I can hear and measure that the use of the DSP engine in my JRiver software improves the frequency response of the speakers in question. BUT: The DSP e... | |
| Audience 1+1 with subwoofer Thanks for a cautionary post ! Lets see after they arrive here - and after burning in. hanshhh | |
| Best tubed full-function preamp with remote I would like to thank all contributours to this thread. It has helped me with my decision. I finally settled for a ModWright LS 100 which is now installed in my system. I have replaced the stock tubes by apropriate NOS tubes and the preamp is curr... | |
| Best tubed full-function preamp with remote Looks as if I should seriously consider not only to replace all tubes related to the signal pathway (which I did) but also relatd to rectification. Not everybody agrees that this is necessary...??? It is certainly worth experiemnting - and it look... | |
| Best tubed full-function preamp with remote The search is over...after much soul searching and considering my bank account I finally settled for a ModWright LS 100 with phono. I have already ordered sophia electric 6SN7 for the line stage and CIFTE 12AU7X for the phono. With my tube modded ... | |
| Best tubed full-function preamp with remote I see that Atma-Sphere gets a lot of support here thanks for suggestion. I will try to get an audition. | |
| Best tubed full-function preamp with remote First thing - and by necessity - I decide to wait a while (onhwy61) as the buyer that I had for the McIntosh withdrew when he realized that I had no screws in the cover due to tube rolling activity. Currently the safest bet would be Modwright as I... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I use a Modwright modified OPPO BDP 83SE and I am more than happy with the sound. Vinyl is different - better in some aspects - not in others (VPI Superscout with Shelter 90x). | |
| What tubes for sibilant SET Triode amp Thanks for the couple of great hints. Gallo sides I checked all connections; these seem fine. The Cayin do not seem to be phase inverting as they collaborate well with the Gallo subamp also hooked up to the Ref 3.1. In fact I get +/- 3dB all the w... | |
| What tubes for sibilant SET Triode amp Roomsize and listening preference make me listen at 85dB max.most of the time..so even with my Gallos rated at 89 dB - there seems to be plenty of headroom for my amp that is rated 25w. And in fact it can go MUCH louder than I care for before dist... | |
| SET amp for Gallo ref 3.1 BobheinatzI could not agree more with you - but as you state yourself size maybe a part of the SET fancy; to get a good below 50Hz response you simply need a lot of bass membrane surface combined with enough cabinet volume to get there on puny pow... | |
| SET amp for Gallo ref 3.1 Bobheinatzsounds a bell with me.....driving a pair of Klipschhorns in my basement with a slightly modified set of the old Quad 22 (not SET I know). Each time I listen to some small scale jazz on that setup it sounds REAL. Unfortunately my living r... |
