| "Forward" sounding ICs and Cables? Redkiwi and Sean - Thanks for the capacitance clue. I talked to Classe' (My amps are CAM-350s) and they said that my amps as well as the Omicron and Omega are extremely sensitive to capacitance of cables used. At least I have a place to start. | |
| Wadia 860 output level/gain Thanks everyone,for the input I'll call them and get it sorted out. | |
| California electrical shortage audio A few comments on the state of power supplies in California from energy land: Texas. While all of the comments made above have some merit. The genesis of the existing power shortages has nothing to do with macro-level economic or energy policy. Th... | |
| Amps for Dynaudio ? I think, as mentioned above, that the Pass Labs X600 is an out standing amp for Dynaudio speakers. I have also listened to Krell, Sim, AR, and other amps with them. I ended up buying Classe' CAM-350s to drive my C5s because they seemed the best bl... | |
| Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less I'm using Classe CAM-350s for my Confidence 5s and love them ($7k) | |
| Dynaudio v Revel Elinor- "The Dynas are not nearly as detailed" "They will also distort as you increase volume" I don't know what the heck you are talking about, and I wonder if you do. The Confidence 5s that I own are driven by Classe' CAM-350s and they don't dis... | |
| Amplifier for Dynaudio Contour 3.3 I am using Classe' CAM-350s with my Confidence 5s. I selected the Classe after listening to Krell, Bryston, Plinius etc. The Classe/Dynaudio combo had the smoothest treble and most natural midrange, and the CAM-350s deliver the current necessary t... | |
| Best CD player around $2000 new or used? If you are interested in more pedestrian brand names try an Arcam FMJ-CD23. It retails new for under $2000, runs with the big dogs in measured performance (Stereophile, my own test CDs) and sounds great. I A/B'd w/ Wadia & Theta gear and felt ... | |
| Opinions on Classé CAM-350 The dealer told me 7-10 days wait on the monoblocks because Classe' will not assemble them until they have a purchase order from the dealer. The demos were not consecutive serial numbers so I suspect they were part of a big initial shipment to dea... | |
| Opinions on Classé CAM-350 Just bought a pair, almost but not quite burned in. Use w/ Arcam FMJ-CD23, Classe CP-60, Dynaudio Confidence 5. They sound wonderful. My other choice was Bryston 7BST, Classe just sounds better. Very high current excellent match for the 5's compou... | |
| Where to buy lead shot I have had both sand and lead shot filled stands. I think the lead works better both because of its greater mass and because it seems to soak up resonance. Shot I took out of some stands that were located near a subwoofer actually appeared to have... | |
| Classe' preamp ground loop hum. Help! Narrod- Forgive my stupidity, but is there any other way to lift the ground on the pre-amp than removing the third prong from the existing power cord or getting a new ungrounded ( two prong)power cord? | |
| Where to buy lead shot Try websites/catalogs like Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, etc. | |
| Classe' preamp ground loop hum. Help! Simply_music- The preamp is new. I disconnected everything from the outlet and all other outlets on the circuit and still got the hum. I replaced the classe w/ first an Adcom preamp and then an A/V preamp/processor and got no hum with either. This... | |
| Amps for Dynaudio Confidence 5s? My thanks to everyone for your thoughts. Krell too expensive. McCormack not available. The winner is... Classe CP-60 preamp and CA-401 amp.Was going to go w/ another preamp ( non-Classe') until I heard the 60. Sounds much better than 47.5 and 50 I... |
