| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I would think that if this device is the "real deal" ie not some signal processor that most people like at first, then get tired of; which I am concluding from all the positive posts that it's not; then if one were to hook two in series the sound ... | |
| Help with amplifier choice Hi Al,Yes, I mostly listen to light jazz and vocals. Speakers are 10 feet away and 9 feet apart. I have a lot of hi-res (24-96/192) so I think dynamic range is important. My budget is around 5K. Thanks | |
| Help with amplifier choice Just some opinions please. | |
| Suggestion for Preamp please ???? Look at the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE. Used about 1400. I realize that's 100 over, but read the 6 Moons review and you just might find that $100. | |
| OPPO BD95 output question Kal is totally correct. The way you want to hook it up, you only need the 93. They are the same unit to that point. I am just adding my 2ยข to re-inforce Kal's comment. | |
| Best tube dac available? If your list isn't long enough there is always the Blacknote DAC30. It has a 4 tube Class A output stage along with 4 coaxial and 2 async. USB inputs. I think the damm thing even has a defeatable digital volume with remote. | |
| Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps OK, please keep us posted. | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Well, I wish you lived near Florida. I own the Cary SLI-80 F1 and have been kicking around the idea to try an XA30.5I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. Anyway good luck, I hear OTL tubes sound great, but my speakers are 4 Ohm 92... | |
| Amplifier current draw/wattage You can get a watt meter at Home Depot for about $20 that will give you a digital readout. It also reports current drawn, voltage, freq. and other cool stuff. I use mine to very accurately read idle watts being used on various equipment. If you pl... | |
| Missing Stereophile Issues??? Why don't you see if there is an on-line issue you can subscribe to? | |
| Cary SLI-80 Thoughts? All I can say is that I did the same thing you are doing. I spent a lot of time researching and went with the Cary. In that price range (sig. version) you will be very happy. Also I am running EL34's in triode (about only 25 watts) and it still so... | |
| Voltage Level at speaker terminals Interesting thread, but how can you be measuring current if the cartridge is not on the record? | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Unless you think the amp is underpowered all the time, meaning that the needle is always moving... then don't you touch that amp! Kidding of course, but it's a fine amp and probably stays in Class A most of the time. Look into the W4S STP-SE pream... | |
| Opinions: PBN Montana speakers model xps signatu As long as you think your room is large enough for them, then keep em'. I own the XP-1 Sig. and I love them. I sold my Maggie 20.1 for them. They look beautiful and sound even better. They are neutral sounding, with no frequencies showing off, but... | |
| Wilson Sophia vs Aerial 7/9 Polk432... There aren't a lot of Hi-fi stores out there and since I live close to Tampa I would appreciate knowing why the warning? Did you know/experience something we should all know? If you wish to "private message" then jkoestner@cfl.rr.com pl... |
