| Speaker Cables for FRITZ Carbon 7 SE mk2 Great advice @mesch guess I need to do a little research on speaker cables that may interject a touch of brightness . Silver plated perhaps. I’m dying to hear the XA25 with these Fritz speakers. Bet that’s a lovely combo. | |
| Speaker Cables for FRITZ Carbon 7 SE mk2 @jeffseight I agree , the economics of $1000 of speaker cable on $3000 monitors doesn't really make sense. I'd much prefer to spend half of that. But I do want to allow the speakers to be the best they can be....and as mentioned, my system lea... | |
| Speaker Cables for FRITZ Carbon 7 SE mk2 Thanks for these suggestions Yes, I've been recommended Acoustic Zen before. They are definitely out of my budget but used could be a possibility. Also intersted in Audience , used as well Honestly I hadn't thought about Mogami as I have asso... | |
| Best Liner Notes / Information delivery from Streamers & Streaming Services What is Roon doing to access metadata that Innuos Sense isn’t doing? Is it that there’s more of a search engine built into Roon? Or is it the same info just displayed differently? | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 thanks @smatsui & @mesch Definitely will consider. As I understand it, apparently what he would do on this particular pre-amp is wire the output of the headphone output to one of the 2 pre-amp out jack pairs on the back of the unit. This... | |
| Preamp gain vs. poweramp sensitivity @mulveling awesome explanation! | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 I’m looking to potentially pick up an F7 to use with a pair of Fritz Carbon 7 SE mkii speakers. Has anyone successfully used an F7 with Fritz speakers? Was thinking I’d use my Van Alstine RB10 tubed preamp, but not sure that pre/power amp combo ... | |
| SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables? Responding back with some new info since my last post here on this topic. I’ve been using an SOTM ISO-Cat7 filter and SOTM 30cm Ethernet cable between my router and my streamer for the past month or so. The streamer is an Ifi Zen Stream with an L... | |
| Which preamps use 6922/6DJ8 tubes? Van Alstine Transcendence 10 RB preamp | |
| recommendation of amps @robshaw These DVAM225's posted on US Audio Mart earlier in the week Not sure if they've sold or not but here's the link | |
| recommendation of amps Given that you’re all balanced, perhaps look at Van Alstine DVA M225 mono amps. I haven’t heard them but am considering a pair I’m currently using a Van Alstine RB10 tubed pre into a Van Alstine SET 120 power amp with the Fritz Carbon 7 SE mkii ... | |
| Is an autoformer (AVC) always superior to pots and resistors ? @jmolsberg That's great, how do you like it? What is your amp? Do you feel the autoformers have a sound or not? Can't wait to wrap this thing up..just need to set aside some time to inhale some soldering fumes. @mitch2 , Yes all the Slagle aut... | |
| Is an autoformer (AVC) always superior to pots and resistors ? I’m in the process of building a simple avc attenuator with the budget autoformers from Slagle. To be used with my Sayes SET and Omega single drivers. 2 inputs with a switch and 2 outputs vintage 16 step rotary knob progress pic HERE and FRONT... | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? @dinov yes the Zen Mini power supply works and is recommended by Innuos. I was just sharing that they are planning to release the same supply in a case that more closely matches the PulseMini visually at some point. The sales manager didn’t ha... | |
| SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables? Timely posting as I just hooked up an iso-cat7 this morning between my router and streamer. I picked the filter up used and it came with a 30cm cable intended to be used on the streamer side. I don’t know which “flavor” SOtM Ethernet cable it is... |
