| Would the dynaudio special 40's be a noticeable upgrade over the ELAC UF5? If you do consider bookshelves, don't forget Fritz. http://www.fritzspeakers.com/sound.asp | |
| Upgrading Quicksilver preamp or amp caps -- warranty impact? @atmasphere Thanks. I'm not touching it while it's in warranty! | |
| Would the dynaudio special 40's be a noticeable upgrade over the ELAC UF5? Here's my experience with the Dynaudios: Evokes: I listened to them in a couple rooms -- both pretty large, at a dealer in Colorado. 25 x 16 feet at least. The startling thing about the Evokes were how big they sounded -- really room filling. I al... | |
| Upgrading Quicksilver preamp or amp caps -- warranty impact? @johnss My system is very, very quiet. I guess units can differ.@gochurchgo If you put your line stage up for sale, I bet it goes quickly! | |
| Would the dynaudio special 40's be a noticeable upgrade over the ELAC UF5? +1 @mesch and @mcmvmx Controlling the conditions of the auditioning is crucial. And P.S. about the 40's -- I heard them in sequence with the others I mentioned in the Evoke line. There is really a different sound in the 40's but they are clearly D... | |
| Quicksilver audio silver 88 mono amps @augwest That is so strange there are no LEDs. I got this unit, new, last April and it has them. How weird. | |
| Best way to hook up REL sub with single RCA input to preamp/amp combo? @djones I see. The crossover is usually set pretty low -- it's a dial. I never set it higher because then it doesn't match very well with my speakers. | |
| Best way to hook up REL sub with single RCA input to preamp/amp combo? Thanks, djones. The sub has a single RCA input and there is no crossover control on any of the amps.In an ideal world, I'd have two subs:Left channel of integrated (or left mono block) would go to left sub.Right channel of integrated (or right mon... | |
| How to judge a preamp's sound ...and remember, soup isn’t a meal unless there are chunks in it. | |
| Would the dynaudio special 40's be a noticeable upgrade over the ELAC UF5? @asilvr Well, the 40's are not easy to drive, but I thought they sounded magical. Really great. I'd just hate to see you get them and then have them lose their magic when you defaulted to the Yamaha. | |
| Best way to hook up REL sub with single RCA input to preamp/amp combo? I found some good answers here from Almarg (RIP) and Johnny. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/how-to-best-connect-active-sub-to-int-ampSorry to start a new thread on this topic; the truth was out there.But now, if MC is correct, I can initia... | |
| Best way to hook up REL sub with single RCA input to preamp/amp combo? @millercarbon -- I know you're an expert on subs so I'm glad to hear that there is no right or left channel for subs. I thought that there was sub information for left and right channel. This is huge news for me, because at the moment, I'm running... | |
| My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?. A portrait of a speaker above a speaker? Never seen that before! | |
| Would the dynaudio special 40's be a noticeable upgrade over the ELAC UF5? The Yamaha is a $900 integrated. The speakers are about $1750/pair. I've heard neither, but if this was all you had, I'd recommend improving the power. But you have good power in the MAC gear. They should sound better with the MAC gear but if they... |
