| Review: Dayton Audio DTA-100a Amplifier I wanted to subtitle this: Mystery Revealed, but there wasn't room in the title box. Have had the little thing for two years now and have quite a bit of experience with it. I believe it is not a t-amp at all but a 3875 gainclone stuffed in that bo... | |
| Importance of Soundstage/Imaging I think you may be right JM. It seems too much attention has been given in the past decade to imaging at the cost of some of the othe aspects which to me make up music. When I'm listening to real music I cannot "hear" where a specific instrument i... | |
| Review: Dayton Audio DTA-100a Amplifier The refurbished ones are on sale for $50 now. I bought one for a project with my grandson and plugged in into my main system for kicks. I would feel better if it weighed fifty pounds and had some glass on top, but it is a very capable amplifier. I... | |
| tekton speakers anyone know of these , t amps? Have used Tektons with a number of t amps including Virtue, Audio research and some $60-variety. They work very well with t-amps. They work well period. Also have used my Tektons with streaming from Duet using lossless compression, radio, Pandora,... | |
| anyone have experience w/magnum conversion 4 Rogue I've had the converted Cronus in system for a week now. It is simply a very good amplifier. Powerful, dynamic, and articulate. It is a keeper. If I change my mind in three months, I'll let you know. | |
| anyone have experience w/magnum conversion 4 Rogue Well, Ive had the upgraded Cronus (Cronus Magnum) for two days now. My first impression out of the box was that they changed the ugly ducking into an exotic beauty. I had them install the black face plate while they had the unit and the KT99s ar... | |
| anyone have experience w/magnum conversion 4 Rogue As I said, I was nervous about going to the KT90's. The Magnum upgrade for the Cronus includes EH KT90's. That is part of why they get 90 wpc out of the Cronus. You can actually drop KT90's into a standard Cronus, yes. You can also use KT77's. Rog... | |
| anyone have experience w/magnum conversion 4 Rogue I have shipped my Cronus off for the conversion and haven't gotten it back, but I did spend a few hours listening to a new one at my local dealer driving a pair of Maggie 1.6's just yesterday. It was fresh out of the box, but my impression was tha... | |
| Hi-fi digital front end suggestions for my system I purchased over a year ago a Non-OS DAC called the Constantine from some gentleman in China. It is available generally on eBay around $300. (I've never seen one used). I have a Moon I-3 SE, Aerial 6's, AQ Bedrock, and a Consonance CD 120 CD Playe... | |
| Review: Rogue Audio Cronus Tube amp I posted earlier to a different thread, I think. The local dealer let me borrow his Cronos and I have been surprised at what it does. I have trouble finding amps to drive my Aerial 6's, but the Cronos has no trouble at all. It seems to put out a l... | |
| Review: Sim Audio Moon i 3 Amplifier One thing I didn't mention about the I-3 is that my model is the Special Edition. (I-3 SE). Having not heard the standard edition, I can't comment on the differences. But I would still agree with Mgwatt. I can afford a lot more, but I really like ... | |
| Review: Sim Audio Moon i 3 Amplifier I got the I-3 almost by accident. The dealer lent it to me, and I didn't have anthing else to do. I've had it about a week, and while i believe it is still breaking in, I agree that it is one of the finest amps I have heard. I had momentary though... | |
| Yahoo transaction? Western Union? Or just scam I had a couple similar offers on items for sale. My banker suggested I contact the FBI. THey are collecting names of these individuals. They didn't want my name, just the names of the perps. | |
| Tubes... what do they do?... It is the equivalent of the transistor in your solid-state device. It takes a music signal and amplifies it. It is what makes the amplifier amplify. For the how-do-the-work part, yes, do check out the articles posted above. | |
| Planar to dynamic, dynamic to planar, or ... I'm a back and forth fan. I have a pair of Maggie 1.6's and a pair of Aerial 6's. The Aerials are dead on musically, and I've never heard anything image like they do. THey are small, and don't really care where you put them. The maggies don't imag... |
