| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options jjss49--The Audiozone Amp1 is (if I understand it correctly) also a Peter Daniel's creation and is pretty much the same amp with dual front mount volume pots and it is really quite nice. I keep the pots fully open and use the volume on my DAC. I... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options falconquest---been using solid state to drive the woofers for several yrs, everything from pro amps to integrateds and now a preamp & separate power amp. The issue is that the 45w I got out of my SET just wasn't quite enough some of the time.... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options Charles----I already sold the JAS. I had it repaired a couple yrs ago, a problem with a bank of bridge rectifiers if I recall correctly. I used it briefly until the heat made me switch in the warm weather substitute amp. I then moved 3 times in... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options djones51--- I was looking at the Nord monoblocks on TMR. Any experience with them? And I'll be looking for used LKV or AGD amps though it may be a while before they sell at my price point. Sucks to be poor! | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options What I heard with the JAS Array 2.1 was a purity that I hadn't heard before nor in any thing else in my system since. The sound was not warm nor lush. It was quite neutral in that sense if not slightly lean. And the images had a fullness and a ... | |
| Amp to power surround channels for MUSIC ONLY I have a couple Jaton Operetta AP5140A amplifiers (one 4 channel, the other 5) and find them to be excellent amplifiers for audio and video purposes. I don't do surround sound and use the 4 channel to biamp custom speakers and the other is used f... | |
| Audiophile AC Outlets I’ve tried 4 different audiophile ac outlets and find them a very worthy upgrade although which you’ll prefer will be dictated by your preference(s) in sound. Below is what I heard with each. I installed them in a PS Audio P600 and then tried the ... | |
| DAC recommendations--Auralic Vega vs Audio Alchemy DDP 1---others w/remote volume control? The reviews are all glowing for the AA DDP 1/PS 5. How does the DAC compare to the sound of the Raysonic 228? I'm using a quad of the orange globe Amperex 6DJ8's. | |
| difference between Kappa Emit series I and series II Thanks guys for the input. I was watching a movie (a lousy old movie called Spawn) that had a lot of high frequency energy during an explosion. It took out the tweeters and you could actually see tiny trails of smoking coming from them. I've do... | |
| Tubes most likely to improve SQ? I had a pair of the VAS Citation II amps a few yrs ago with mostly the same tube compliment. Swapping out the stock tubes made a huge difference although that will depend on other bottlenecks in your system. I thought the Psvane 6CA7 (el34) were... | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... I've heard but never had the 1+1 but did own 2+2 with medallion transformers driven by both Threshold SA4e and Krell KSA100S. Source was a Theta Miles directly into the amp. The system did a lot of things right and was able to pull out a lot of ... | |
| Looking for professional made gainclones or chip amps recommendations Pragmasi----I might seek a stateside amp builder but, if you would ship to the US and build for 110v, please let me know. Thank you. | |
| Looking for professional made gainclones or chip amps recommendations Nonoise-----I looked at the Clonesaudio website and was dismayed to see no amps available. It would be great if they were making new amps. And the Moonriver 404 looks interesting but honestly, overkill for my tastes. I haven't used a preamp in ... | |
| Looking for professional made gainclones or chip amps recommendations teo audio---thanks for taking the time to respond. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you're assertion isn't correct. It sounds reasonable and you obviously more to draw upon than I do in experience and knowledge but I'd be content with an excell... | |
| Need highly transparent detailed amp---how does Pass XA25 compare to Gamut D100/D200 MKIII atmosphere-----thanks for all the insight. Truly useful info here is a rare commodity. And funny you should mention the H/K Citation II as I had a pair of a modern rethinking of that classic design in monoblock form, the VAS Citation II's. Thes... |
