| XLR-RCA adapters - which to choose? Well - in spite of previous posts, I did get some Purist Audio adapters and they work perfectly. | |
| voltage transformer and tube gear Surely you need a step-down (rather than step-up) transformer to go from 220V mains to 120V appliance? If so, the PS Audio 300 has good reviews and you can also vary the frequency - I am condidering one for a CD player | |
| x10V3 Tube buffer: Class A Sound or dud? ... Although I have been toying with the idea of using it to connect an ipod via the Arcam R-dock to my pre-amp. Now that could be a good test for the X10v3 :)Anybody tried this? | |
| x10V3 Tube buffer: Class A Sound or dud? I agree - I have an X10v3 and used it between my Sony SCD-555ES (EU not US model, which I believe are substantially different machines). It used to make a noticeable difference with my Meridian 502 pre-amp (SS), but much less after I bought a McIn... | |
| Cables for Cremona auditors Sorry - Kops already noted the YTER.... | |
| Cables for Cremona auditors It would appear that Franco Serblin designed some new silver/palladium wire for the the Stradivarius speakers. It is now being made as speaker cable by YTER. I haven't heard it, but it has to be worth checking out if you own Sonus Faber speakers.... | |
| SET question best 45 type tube There is a really good comparison between EML mesh plates and solid plates on 6moons | |
| Power transformers and power conditioners Thanks sugarbrie. Any suggestions for a good transformer that would be on a par with a regenerator? | |
| Cables for Cremona auditors In my system the Kimber Bifocal XL definitely didn't match... I haven't tried many others because I was happy with what I got from Audience, but I would like to try Nirvana S-X or Stereovox LSP-600 sometime. | |
| McIntosh C100, Ayre K1 or Mark Levinson 380/380S? Many thanks all for your thoughts and comments. I did eventually make a decision and, for better or worse, managed to get a very good deal on a McIntosh C200. So far I am pleased with my choice and it has certainly got me raiding my CD collection ... | |
| Cables for Cremona auditors I also use AU24 with SF Grand Piano. A very good match, I don't think you can beat them easily at the price, but I don't think AU24 are the ultimate....... | |
| Pass Labs Aleph Question I have an Aleph 5 at the moment driving a pair of Sonus Faber Grand Piano floorstanders. I don't agree that the low end is weak - I think it really depends on the sensitivity of the speaker and the cables used. I am using Audience AU24 speaker cab... | |
| Aleph 5 passive vertical bi-amping? Thanks for your responses. It sounds like it could offer a good improvement in the sound, particularly with regards to dynamics and control - which is what I'm after. The Alephs work best with the balanced XLR inputs. This will mean that I need to... | |
| McIntosh C100, Ayre K1 or Mark Levinson 380/380S? Many thanks for all your responses. I am still researching and hunting! I think that the Ayre K1 (x or xe) would be my ideal, but I am also being seduced by the McIntosh C2200 (tube), the Hovland HP-100 (tube) and the Sony TAE1 (!). Any comments, ... | |
| Aleph 5 passive vertical bi-amping? My GPs are the original mk1 with the bi-wire posts. Therefore I was just planning to use one channel for bass and one for treble, keeping the internal crossovers. At the moment my preamp would need Y adapters (XLR) to separate the signal to the 2 ... |
