| i just bought a nice pair of Piega C10 Ltds Twc:I've listened to that 2.2, and it's not a bad CD player. It's probably one of the best for that pricerange. It's a good transport too, so it should work well with the Nixon DAC. The Nixon DAC is based on the old school design that Audio Note a... | |
| i just bought a nice pair of Piega C10 Ltds To me, the height of the soundstage is exactly as it would be in real life. Perhaps a tad bit higher on the 10's because the tweeter/mid array is a few inches above the one on the 3's. The 8's are the same way. All of them sound the same really. J... | |
| i just bought a nice pair of Piega C10 Ltds As a Piega C3 Limited owner, I can relate to your experience. In fact, I also own the Scott Nixon DAC. Both are amazing products, and honestly for the money, I am not sure the Piegas can be beaten. And I have only heard one DAC in my life I liked ... | |
| where's all my power going? The amp's meters are calibrated at 4 ohms. The Revels are 6 nominal, dropping to 3. The Arcam FMJ puts out 2.2 vrms, which is a healthy output for any source, and above average in my experience. I would check volume control on the FMJ too just to ... | |
| Feedback on McIntosh Mc-402 amplifier I am a happy 402 owner. I went through 2 dozen or so amplifiers in the past year and a half. The McIntosh will be my last for a long, long time. It has the magic of tubes IMO, and it has utmost control of my very hard to drive speakers. Strangely ... | |
| Has anyone heared Piega C3 speakers? Seas metal drivers? Piega uses a Vifa driver manufactured to their specs. Also, the Limited series can be harsh before the long break-in is done. I would say that mine broke in only after 3-4 weeks of play 24 x 7. They still can be harsh now if I ... | |
| Anyone heard the new Halcro Class D? Neat link. But 10% THD is not going to cut it for me. I think a couple of Dixie cups with a five nines cotton string could beat that. ;-) | |
| Has anyone heared Piega C3 speakers? I know this is an old thread, but I was just poking around looking for amp recommendations for Piegas and happened upon this and I almost spewed Dr. Pepper out my nose when I read this:"B&W Matrix 803 series II speakers walked all over them"I'... | |
| DK Design NOS Valves? FYI: I just listed my brand new CV-2492's at dramatically less than $160 just to blow them out. Check it out. . . | |
| DK Design NOS Valves? If you have not tried Siemens E88CC's, for goodness sake please do so! I went from having an ad up selling this amp to where I wouldn't sell it right now if I made 10%. OK that's a lie. . but I'd buy another if I made 10%. LOL! | |
| Comparing MA-6900 to the DK Design VS-1 MkII. . . Mike:I think you're confusing "Build Quality" with longevity. The McIntosh is superbly built gear, and probably one of the best in the business on build quality. I HAVE heard the DK, and I have popped the top. I can tell you that the build quality... | |
| Anyone using an SA-102 on a tough load? I can't go 250. The 102 puts out 25% the HEAT of the 250, and I have a small room. Ouch! Good to know that it can manhandle the Shahinians. . .Thanks. . . | |
| The best DAC for the money Who wants a DAC that needs batteries though?Knowing that the Dack was built originally using Scott Nixon's boards, I like the Nixon better than ANY DAC I have ever heard except for the Audio Note 3.1x Balanced, at $6000+!!!! | |
| Upgrade to Piega C10's?? Well, I'll chime in here. I have C-3 Limiteds, but I have spent many hours with the C-10 Limited. I have to say that if my small room could handle C-10 Limiteds, I'd love to have a pair. I think the coaxial arrangement is absolutely better than th... | |
| Anyone have, or heard a McIntosh C41? If I could afford the 2200, I'd be all over it! |
