| 2 stereo amps in a mono-block config = 2 x power? Nad integrated amps used to be able to run as a mono amp.I used a 7100 receiver in mono for a centre channel amp to match the greater power of a couple of nad 2100 power amps in a home Theatre.If I were you I would look for a better power amp and ... | |
| Amplifier / system matching w/ Vandy 5a I think it's time to buy a pre-amp that matches your power amp.I never liked cd straight thru to a power amp,let alone a phono straight thru. If you like this, then look for a strain gauge cartridge.Winn used to make one. | |
| Audio Grade fuses Isoclean does indeed have a 15 amp fuse in standard fuse size. I am a firm believer in what these can do to a power amp or a pre-amp. I have bought 4 so far.The last fuse the 15 amp one is going to go in a Foundation Research LC2 line conditioner/... | |
| amber I had the stereo 70 and it was a good amp but was a step backwards from the Dynaco tube amp I sold for it.Peter Aczel of the Audio Critic liked the amp back when what he had to say meant something. | |
| Anyone try Townshend Super Tweeters? I have just heard the Elac super tweeters placed on top of Revel Studio which I thought would be overkill. First off the Revels and the Elacs were finished in a silver grey and were a close match.Adjust the crossover points on the Elac,10 seemed b... | |
| Good or Bad idea?? ?? I have a Fidelity Research FR1 mk3f cartridge that sat idle for 25 years. I put it into a scout/phd system and guess what? It was perfect, none of the horror stories aluded to.No aging process, or rusting or dried up suspension,in my case I would ... | |
| THE LATEST---Gold plated fuses? I used to bypass the amp speaker fuse protection with short stranded Monster cable as fuses. Then I tried solid copper. Each had a distinct sound that was better than the stock fuse.This is not news, P. Aczel(in his first life)said the sound of th... | |
| tube amps with El 34s your favorites ?? Grant Lumley, and TVA 10 were 2 British faves.Drove Quads,and VR 4,with more power than you would have imagined. | |
| ribbon tweeters The speakers in question are Mission 770, that I picked up for a song. The tweeters are not originals(anyone know what they were?)so I was thinking about upgrading them. I have heard a lot about the speed of a good ribbon,so I thought why not give... | |
| Electrostats I have owned Quad 63, stacked Quad ESL 57, Martin Logan SL3, and 2 pair of CLS 11Z.In between I have owned several pair of coned speakers,but eventually tired of the sound of crossovers and different sized drivers. I like the seamlessness of a goo... | |
| Upgrading? Sophia/Dynaudio/Revel/Genesis 6.1 ? Check out the Verity speakers, should be a dealer somewhere in the Mass/ New Hamp area.What about Snell from Haverhill? I used to know this part of New England quite well. | |
| Nuforce Read the HiFi+ Issue 42 review.They also felt there is less to the amp than some would have us believe.Opinions on the sound of this amp vary, so maybe there are unit to unit differences,hence my initial reaction. I wanted to like them,but the pai... | |
| Speaker and amp balance question????? If you have the same problem with different amps,then the problem is elsewhere,cables,pre-amp channel, power cord,bad ground at power source.Keep trouble shooting.Not trying to be a jerk, but could you have a hearing problem in your right ear?I ha... | |
| Balanced power compatabilty census I have a Furman 20 amp balanced line conditioner run off a 20 amp dedicated line.In it are plugged my pre,turntable,sub, cd player.The noise floor is lower than straight into the wall.I did not like my power amps (Classe DR 8 mono)done this way. T... | |
| Dakiom stabilizers vs Bybee purifiers. I had the acceptable short speaker wire to amp set up. I then re-arranged my room,and needed to use 8 times as much speaker wire.I went with an inferior grade name brand that I had left over from a home theatre set up,that didn't cost a quarter of... |
