| replacing Patek integrated with more powerful amp? Hi Glenalan-have you actually done this or heard of someone doing this? I know bridging the Pathos amps produced better than expected results. Since balanced inputs would be necessary, is this something that would need to be done at the manufactur... | |
| replacing Patek integrated with more powerful amp? I appreciate the input so far. Actually though, I figured I'd be hearing about the Creek Destiny and the Exposure 2010S(2) as these usually get high marks for their transparency. Mind you, the only amp I've heard that bettered the Patek for transp... | |
| Power Cord with great tone I've heard a cord recently that sounds close to what you've described and the manufacturer is in London with an in home trial/money-back offer. The Robusto from Sablon Audio (sablonaudioDOTcom) is warm, rich in tone, weighty in the lower registers... | |
| Looking for a very focused power cord I see it's been well over 2 years since this posting was active but I thought I'd offer my experience on focused power cords since then as it may save another time and $$$.Of course my system has morphed numerous times since then but here are a fe... | |
| Are PCC189/7ES8 tubes useable in place of 6DJ8? Hhmmm.... That's about what I thought. I've been using the PCC88/7DJ8 with very good results as an alternative to my Ediswan 5358s when I want more extension on top. It's just that the PCC189s are sooo cheap on Ebay. It's hard not to try them. Tha... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? It's been over a year since I originally posted this. I thought I'd offer my experience(s) since then. The Wyred ST-500 is gone. It's excellent for the money and about as hassle-free as it gets but it's not SET nor is it close. I purchased a Patho... | |
| CPD orSACD player w/built in remote volume control Thanks Riley804. I tried a search of the forums before posting but, apparently, I typed in the search wrong because nothing came up. There are some interesting options listed. Mtrot-the Oppos certainly are a decent option, especially modded. I hav... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? Can anyone comment on the Valve Audio Predator's resolution and transparency? I briefly had a SIM Audio I-5LE in my system several months back and was quite dismayed at the opaque sound I was getting. I'd heard this was a transparent amp and, in m... | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer I haven't been responsive to the advice offered to this thread and I apologize for that. I've had Mr Baird at Moon Audio build me an umbilical using Cardas Crosslink and have had a problem with the cord (no problem with Moon Audio--highly recommen... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? Just wanted to comment on the necessity of having ICE amps (the Wyred ST-500 in particular) powered continuously:I ran the ST-500 for a couple of weeks directly from the wall using both the Sunny Cables and later, the Windigo (about a week each) c... | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer When I indicate sub cables, I'm really talking about regular analog RCA interconnects. The sub's amp/crossover is outboard and uses an umbilical to connect to the subwoofer. I'm having Moon Audio check into upgrading that. I'm just looking for a f... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? I'll try the Wyred direct from the wall and leave it powered continuously and see where that leads. I hate to remove it from the PS Audio power plant--the regenerator really helps with focus. Still, that's a free sound experiment so it's worth a s... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? I've had the Wyred amp for most of this year and ran it several hours a day the first few weeks to burn it in. I've also ran it extensively burning in a pair of interconnects followed by the new crossovers so it has almost certainly been burned in... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? One more thing, I forgot to mention that transparency is a must. It's right up there with resolution and focus. Thanks again----LRC | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer Just wanted to thank all for your input. I've had the sub in the shop for awhile getting a new surround installed and now have the umbilical at Moon Audio checking out options on upgrading this cable as well. Thanks all! |
