| Experiences with Ghent Audio ICEpower AS series amps? Thanks for the input. Interesting that there aren't further comments regarding ICEpower AS series. Did you happen to hear NCores? | |
| One of the Best Stereo System in the World! lalitk,Thanks for sharing this video! | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? @rh67That is helpful, thank you!In my context it seems the SIT3 might be the better choice. I'm assembling a 4-way active system and this amp would drive the midrange (300-1800Hz), so the added bass presence from the XA25 wouldn't be developing. ... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? @rh67 Have used SET amps for the last four decades. A SET amp produces a 3d sound to each instrument and the stage which contributes to music sounding real. The SS amps that for me capture much of this is the Pass XA25 and FW SIT3, i was so impres... | |
| Low volume listening dynamics @tmalkki From 5-31Clams are happy, and so will I be too. Don't want to dominate this format at all, but would like a couple of suggestions on a good first timer tube integrated. Will probably build my own full range speaker pair, concentrating on ... | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 SET It's always wonderful to read people getting so much joy out of this. Congrats on your purchase!I myself am also looking into 2A3 stereo amps, so very interested to learn more. The Triode Lab 2A3S-FFX tops my list now. Yamamoto looks great too, bu... | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? @audiokinesis "My recollection is that Toole was referring to a Harmon subwoofer integrator processor which optimized the gain, frequency response, lowpass filter, phase, delay, and equalization based on in-room measurements. I assume it does what... | |
| Which is better for a DBA (Swarm); powered subs or unpowered? @audiokinesis Duke,Glad you joined! Would the ability to time-adjust each of the 4 subs improve sound? Like Toole described in his Sound Reproduction?I've gone from 1 Rel to two sealed DIY 12" Rythmiks in a digitally active 4-way stereo system, w... | |
| Aric Audio? First Watt? PrimaLuna? As Al mentioned, your speakers aren't ideal for tubes. Why don't you change speakers first? You could look for some that are friendlier with tubes and then have a much less restricted assortment to choose from.FWIW, I have b&w 804s and McInto... | |
| Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs? Gadios, My experience: I've gone active and very happy. In my experience, given a certain (limited) budget, I've gotten better sound by optimizing: focus on an audiophile PC as sole front end, run digital crossovers, a multichannel DAC, keep my tu... | |
| Should Subwoofer Be Plugged Into Same Circuit? @almarg Thanks for the link to Bill Whitlock's paper!I was aware of the nasty effect from dimmers. Seems the paper is pre-LED lightning emerged. Are you aware of how "noisy" LED power supplies are and/or how to mitigate said noise being injected i... | |
| Digital Room Correction For Speakers What to buy is largely driven by budget.Mic: the Dayton EMM6 is good. Earthworks M30 and M50 are better and more expensive. I bought the EMM6 to try out DRC, then entertained the idea of upgrading and I consistently got the feedback the delta wasn... | |
| Digital Room Correction For Speakers Certainly don't mind! They are also a consequence of how I got to this point, so let me provide more for perspective.Years ago I went from to PC as front end, after reading Mitch Barnett's articles on computeraudiophile about using Acourate for ro... | |
| SET vs Class A vs tubes vs Class AB amps @wolf_garcia Interested in your experience with Dennis Had amp. Is there a thread/post you could point me to?Horacio | |
| Room correction help @millercarbonNext most effective, 8-12" wide rectangles in the corners where the walls meetYou mean covering the corners like corner traps, the exposed face being 12" wide?FWIW I experimented on first reflection points and I didn't hear much diffe... |
