| Warm, fullbodied, smooth, and transparent IMHO a good cable will present what is on it's input to it's output without any change to the signal at all. If the output of your CDP is thin, a good cable will not change that. It will present to your preamp exactly what was presented to it. | |
| Isolation transformer I think an Isolation on dedicated lines is a good idea. In an isolation transformer the output winding will be isolated, or floating from earth ground unless bonded at the time of installation. Secondary neutral to ground bonding virtually elimina... | |
| Speaker help - short list needed If you are looking for speakers at about $1500 with some good bass I would have a look for Thiel 3.6's but be aware you will need a stout amplifier for them. The other speaker you should take a look at is the Martin Aerius i. There are a pair of b... | |
| ML Aerius I and Mcintosh That is very uncharacteristic of the Aerius I's. There are two enemies of an electrostsatic speaker. One is dust and the other is humidity. Make sure that the speaker is totally free from dust and use it in a lower humidity environment. Don't forg... | |
| Used Spectral Gear Wow, if you can only use a specific speaker cable, I don't think I would ever want to own one. | |
| Help with a first tube amp Please I a 40 watt tube amp going to be enough to drive a pair of Maggies? They have the reputation of being current hungry buggers. | |
| Thoughts of Pass XA30.5, 60.5 Nelson Pass is one of the most honest designers there is. He will give you an honest opinion. Anyone who questions his integrity is a fool. | |
| Pass Labs XP-10 vs Parasound JC-2 Dhl93449,The gain of the XP10 is 10db. | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? Husk01: "Are there any Class A amps that do not run hot?"The answer is no. An amplifier biased in class A at it's theoretical best is 50% efficient. This means that 50% of the power delivered by the amplifier is dissipated as heat. In the real wor... | |
| Where is the next generation of direct drive? Teres. | |
| Know of any true bullet proof equipment stories? Most all of Nelson Pass's amplifiers both Threshold and Pass Labs are built like brick chit houses. | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Stringreen, respectfully, you are not even close. There is current flow, it is just the the polarity changes 60 times per second. | |
| selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1 Unfortunately no. Actually the X2 is a good little preamp. It does not have the bells and whistles of the more expensive preamps but the X circuitry is in place. I think you would be happy with it. Best of luck. | |
| What about a fan blowing over McIntosh 7205 AMP? I have built many of Nelson Pass's Aleph Class A Amplifiers as a member of DIYAudio.com. Amplifiers biased as class A have a maximum theoretical efficency of 50%. In the real world they are more like 15% to 20%. That means of all the power the amp... | |
| selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1 Honeyooi,You made a wise choice. I run my C1's with an X350 and am very happy. I would go with an Pass Labs X1 preamp instead of the Aleph P and take advantage the Super Symetry circuitry in the X1. I suggest you download Nelson Pass's patent on S... |
