| Two Sunfire Signature's wired together? I currently have two Signature 600s in my system, which has balanced interconnects. I simply run one channel through each amp, without bi-wiring or bi-amping as described in the Sunfire manual. The speakers have only one set of binding posts. (I h... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Surprising to find no mention here of Davy Graham. Invented English folk baroque. (John Renbourn, Burt Jansch and others all freely acknowledge this.) Invented jazz blues. Was the first to introduce Indian & Moroccan styles into modern guitar.... | |
| The partner or wife factor Another reason to consider the wisdom of Tom Leykis. | |
| Anti-Cables and magnet wire For those who have had success with magnet wire and are handy at soldering, you might also consider trying high-grade copper Litz wire. There's more work to do in attaching Litz wire to a spade or RCA/XLR, since each strand has to be connected sep... | |
| Top 5 sounding cd player in the 1000-2000$ range Marantz CD-67SE ($100 used) as modified by Ogre Systems (about $1000), + DC power supply ($1400, but no need for a power cord since you unplug the power when playing) | |
| Sunfire 300 vs Signature 600 Well, to answer my own question: Having recently purchased two used Signature 600s online for cheap, and replaced the 300s in my system (one amp per channel with Marigo Ultra 5 power cords), I can say the 600s are a significant step up from the 30... | |
| Choice on a $3,000 to $5,000 SS amp Does the $5-8k include power cords as well? Or is there a separate budget for these (or do you already have them)? | |
| Sunfire TGA5200? Did I make mistake vs Para A51? My experience is with Sunfire 300s (purchased used @ $800 each). Running one of these amps in stereo is suboptimal: The channel separation and overall sound is much better if you run one channel through each amp. If you then add a superior power c... | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? Ask him whether RF can impact sound performance. If he says "yes," then tell him that certain power cables reduce the amount of RF coming into the system. QED. | |
| OK to use unmatched or different brand tubes? The difference that matched tubes made on early-production Atma-Sphere MA-1s was like night and day. Roger Modjeski of RAM Labs was extremely helpful in this regard. | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Two questions:1. Halcro: Do you know whether the difficulties setting up the Copperhead are also endemic to the Cobra?2. Anyone: Is anyone aware of the US pricing for these two cartridges? | |
| Reliable Sources for 6SN7 Tubes Roger Modjeski at Music Reference/Ram Labs. He tests and matches all the tubes, and it makes a huge difference. They made my Atma-Sphere MA-1s sound so much better than other tubes. | |
| How to deal with worn-out threads on binding post? It worked!!! I inserted an awl into the space between the two split halves of the barrel, and gently worked it back and forth to move the two pieces more or less back into alignment. The nuts now screw on tightly, and the speaker cable spades are ... | |
| How to deal with worn-out threads on binding post? AlbertPorter: That looks like exactly what has happened. In fact, there has been so much compression that the two halves now look like an oblongThank you so much for the advice! I will be careful in choosing the right diameter dowel, and will let ... | |
| Sunfire 300 vs Signature 600 Let me re-phrase that: Aside from the difference in power, is the Signature 600 a better amp than the 300 in any other respects? |
