| Myth: low-power high-efficiency I heard the Druids driven by a Cary 300B integrated and was not prepared for the disappointing sound. On paper and from what I had read this should have been a great match but not to my ears. It sounded lifeless ,no snap, and nowhere near the leve... | |
| Rogers LS35A - Stradivarius? Or Sentimental Hype? The LS3/5A at $1000. for a used pair is a rip-off when you know how much they sold for when new.That is like charging $800.00 for a used NAD 3020 of the same vintage and it too is considered a classic by many. The Japanese perhaps have cornered th... | |
| Can anything beat Vintage Amps for the $$$? I have a 1961 Bell integrated tube amp with a phono stage that gives me 22 watts of musical power and no problems.It even had the original RCA 6V6 and Telefunken 12ax7 tubes when I bought it. The tubes have been replaced with EH and nothing else h... | |
| could someone compare krell vs. classe audio ? I can vouch for the reliability of my 15 year old Classe DR 8 amps run in mono.They are working just fine and sound as good as most of the more expensive solid state out there. Not looking to change since I've had these. I've had plenty of tube an... | |
| Rogers LS35A - Stradivarius? Or Sentimental Hype? Still a decent mini-monitor but I bought a pair new in the early 1980's for $400.00, so used should be less .You will need a good stand so there is another couple of hundred bucks. Better to find a pair of used Vandersteen,Maggies,Meadowlark,floor... | |
| Shouldn't amp reviews employ multiple speakers? Amp designers had to play their amps on at least one set of speakers. Good ones will use several. I wish they would disclose which speakers they use or have found to bring out the best in their designs. Years ago Magnepan and Audio Research did th... | |
| Isoclean Fuses I use one 7A fuse in each of my Classe DR8 mono blocks and one 1A in my Blue Circle BC3Mk11 pre-amp power supply. So far the sound of my system has improved in clarity and smoothness.Worth the price,and great service from Ovation Audio. | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies I heard them powered by a Cary 300B integrated with Zu cables and Cary CD in a medium size listening room. They were not very detailed and had a muffled kind of sound. The salesman said they would sound better in a larger room. I have my doubts.Th... | |
| Electrical issue Have your utility check your voltage, your lites shouldn't flicker. I had a similar problem with low voltage from an undersize old power transformer. I am curious about the dedicated lines. Are they all on the same phase(side) of your panel? this ... | |
| Nuforce Here is the list of equipment used in the demo of the Ref 9.Pre amp- Mark Levinson 32s,Cardas Golden ref cable,Gallo Ref 3 speakers(no bass amp added),Shunyata hydra line conditioner,Cary cd.Unless there was a particular problem with this pair of ... | |
| classe Dr-3 You can still send the amp to Classe if it needs any repairs. A killer amp, wish I would have bought one when I had the chance. You will notice an increase in your electric bill and you might not play it much in the summer.I don't think there is a... | |
| Descent Subwoofer Problem OK only has a problem with one sub. | |
| Descent Subwoofer Problem Did they tell you the hum was from the sub? What did they say they did to correct it?I have this sub and have never had any problem with noise of any kind. My settings are-Level 5, 250 at 0, 45 for the crossover. This is in my dedicated audio room... | |
| Meadowlark speakers I have a pair of Heron i,speakers and if you can find a pair of these for sale pick them up. They do just about everything right and have more bass response than what you are considering.Panic selling of these speakers for low prices is good news ... | |
| Nuforce I heard the 9's at a dealers with good equipment and they were no where near to giving a live experience.Then again I have never heard any system give a live experience and never will.Clarity yes, live no, and did I mention fatiguing? |
