| Great sounding close to back wall speakers. Have you checking into the Allison speakers which are designed go into corners and against a wall literally. One of their models was reviewed in TAS last year I believe. | |
| Thinking of adding a subwoofer -- my learnings Thanks everyone for your comments.* A retailer told me that connecting the sub using high-level speaker connections from the amp wouldn't be a good thing given my 6watt/ch. SET amp so line-level connections from my preamp are a must - something I ... | |
| Thinking of adding a subwoofer -- my learnings Good post Jameswei but no I haven't come across research related to interference/cancellation with dual subs. | |
| fab audio model one vs. coincident total victories Gmilan - you need to contact Gliderguider as he owns both models! He'll give you the straight goods. By the way I own the FAB Audio Model 1 speakers and think very highly of them - very natural and brutally transparent of all upstream components. ... | |
| Need sub recommendations for vr4 jr's ACI -- Force and TitanAxiom -- EP-500 or the lower modelsHSU -- several models avail.Definitive Technology -- Supercube I, II & II subs . . . that's all I can think of at the moment within your price range. | |
| 10k 300B single ended amp, what should I choose? Not that I'm trying to change your mind on getting a 300B amp . . . but have you considered a SET amp that uses the PX25 tube from Art Audio or Audion? I too was thinking 300B, did some listening and finally spoke with Joe Fratus who is the owner ... | |
| What does EMI or RFI sound like? Lak - yes the Equi-Tech 2Q unit is a 20amp circuit but it is fine if plugged into a 15amp circuit providing you don't try and put a 20amp load on the 15amp circuit it's connected to. . . so far so good.Any other ideas on what Electro Magnetic Inte... | |
| What does EMI or RFI sound like? Lak - my Equi-Tech unit (which everything is plugged into) in on a dedicated 15A circuit.Musicslug - that's what I thought but wasn't sure. Keeping short interconnect lengths probably helps prevent it.Any other people's thoughts? | |
| 6moons review of FAB Audio Model 1 speaker Thanks everyone for your viewpoints, all very interesting.Shiva - you raise a very valid point about how a bad review could sink resale value - good thing I'm planning on keeping my Model 1s.Opalchip - you raise too many good points to single out ... | |
| Replacing Sonic Frontiers Line 3 SE Have you considered the Aesthetix Calypso preamp? I believe it has both unbalanced and balanced inputs. Other preamps with both kinds of inputs include:* Atma-Sphere MP-1 and Mp-3* Audio Research LS-25 MKII* BAT gear* EAR 864 (has 1 XLR input I be... | |
| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? Ron - thanks for your post reply. I didn't come across any asian SET amps that caught my eye or that I found here to audition, so no I didn't hear any for comparison purposes.Yes it's been a month already and the amp still sounds as wonderful as i... | |
| Question for First Sound Owners Just one more idea that hasn't yet been mentioned which is to check the input impedance on the CJ amp . . . The output impedance of the FS is rather high and if my memory is correct it is about 1700 ohms. So using a rule of thumb between preamp ou... | |
| Ways to clean up the wall power for SET amp? I would suggest starting with a dedicated circuit on your fuse / circuit breaker box.Secondly, in speaking with an amp manufacturer he said that most amps aren't designed to have a transformer placed before it in the form of a line conditioner so ... | |
| 300b vs 845 Brm1, I would suggest that you contact a manufacturer that makes both 300B and 845 SET amp models and get his/her opinion on where the differences lay. One such person would be Joe Fratus in the USA and owner of Art Audio who makes several 845 mod... | |
