| Do you leave CD players with tube outputs on? Great posts, thank you! Thanks Raquel for the thorough discussion and to Al for the physics lesson! I previously used a hybrid integrated amp with 7308 tubes in preamp stage and a Consonance 2.2 CD player with tubes in output stage and left those ... | |
| Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre I have the KR Audio Kronzilla SXi with 50 watts output. Sounds great across the spectrum, but can really take control of the bass. I use it now with relatively sensitive speakers, but have used it with speakers down to 87db, no problem. However, A... | |
| High Pwr Tube Integrated for Inefficient Speakers? I demoed the Usher Be 718's in my system running my KR Audio Kronzilla SXi, which is rated at 50W. I didn't have a problem with power. I enjoyed the speakers quite a bit. | |
| Tube preamp for Kronzilla Oops, wrong forum. I reposted in amps forum | |
| Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used? Komaki,For AudioKinesis, go to audiokinesis.com and his speakers are under the products links.Have fun checking out you options! | |
| Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used? I'd recommend Duke's Audiokinesis Jazz Modules. Efficient at around 93db sensitivity and can be used with a range of amps. I have a pair that I am very happy with and if you search the web, you will hear nothing but good things about them. Duke is... | |
| Recommendation for vacuum tube CD-player There is an Ayon CD-1 on Audiogon in your price range. I have one and am very happy with it. | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass You want "tight and tuneful bass" in a two-way?? Check out Duke's Audiokinesis speakers. I have the Jazz modules and was amazed by the impact and musicality of bass produced by these speakers, which use a TAD prosound 10" driver. These are not sma... | |
| Tube Integrated with deep bass KR Audio Kronzilla SXi. Goes down deep and never loses its grip. Not too shabby over the rest of the spectrom as well. Really shines with Duke's Audiokinesis Jazz Modules. | |
| With 15W tube amp, which speakers to use? Duke's Audiokinesis Jazz Modules should work well with your amp -- 92 db and 12 ohm impedance, price new is just within your range -- there is a sale through AudioCircle. I just got a pair this week, and I am a happy camper! The dynamics are amazi... | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 I've had a bit of time to listen to my Ayon CD-1 and I have been delighted. Just to add that I took the CD-1 to a friends last week and compared it to his heavily modded Sony SACD. He has a nice set up with Wilson Watt Puppy 7's and Pass amp/pream... | |
| Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls? Should distance of speaker from wall behind be measured as distance from back of speakers (more relevant for rear ported designs??) or front of speakers (for front ported or sealed designs??)? | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 Sally and Darealjaydee,The unit I purchased was the review unit from the recent Dagogo review, so Doug Schroeder did the hard work of breaking it in. I bought the unit from USA Tube Audio. I have enjoyed working with them and previously bought my ... | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 Sally, my new Ayon CD-1 arrives tomorrow. I'll let you know how it compares to my Consonance 2.2 once I've had a chance to listen. The distributor has a money back offer, so if it doesn't live up to expectations, you can send it back. | |
| Looking for Almost Full Range Speakers One speaker that I am seriously considering is Duke's Audiokinesis Jazz Modules, although they are just outside your budget at $4500. If sold retail they would easily cost twice as much. I hope to audition them in the near future, but I have heard... |
