| Audio Research reference amplifiers used with RCA IC`s and unbalanced preamplifiers Wow, 85 db is very loud. No wonder my wife is always yelling at me. But going back to cables, if both the preamp and power amps are fully balanced you can use inexpensive balanced cables. Mogami or something similar for no more than a couple hu... | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please @diminishedchord check the Focal website and spec sheet for your speakers. I believe it says your speakers drop to 2.9 ohms, which can be difficult for a tube amp to handle. Do a search here for speaker impedance. Lots of info to digest and one ... | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please Just checked specs for your speakers. Not an easy load. They dip under 3ohm. Not really a good match for tubes. You’re probably loosing the lower octave of your music. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please Also in a small room you can easily get away with speakers under 90db so long as they’re any easy 8 ohm load and you’re not a head banger. Mine are 87db and fine in a similar sized room. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please You can buy the original version of AU 24 speaker cables for less than $1,000. Maybe even gen. 2. I bought my 3m pair for $500. They come up occasionally on A’gon and US Audio Mart and will be a nice match for your speakers. | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II Michal: I checked with my dealer again regarding delivery of the Brooklyn Bridge II. That's why I'm on this thread to begin with. They were expecting delivery in July, but say there are no updates. Same thing the OP is saying above. Would you... | |
| FYI: Dynaudio Evidence Masters are being made again! Why all the skepticism.? | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II Michal thanks for responding My post above was only to comment on the others who said they were unable to contact Mytek. Good that you’re able to reply to the apparent confusion as well. It’s unfortunate that manufacturers such as yourself get... | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? Probably not the right thread to bring this up (we don’t want anyone here to start having heart palpitations) but dealers are now taking preorders for the new Aurender AP20. $22k and it’s all yours. | |
| Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes If Mullard’s aren’t doing it I doubt another tube mfg. will. Seems like you should be looking at either the DAC (you don’t mention the name) itself or another component in your system. | |
| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II Can’t get an email response from Mytek regarding fixing a broken Brooklyn Bridge or purchasing a new Brooklyn Bridge. Am I understanding correctly? I remember reports here of this happening before and the Owner said his email was down. Could thi... | |
| DENAFRIPS Terminator ii 12th Ann Ya best to play with them. I have the T 2 and Pontus II and finally after a year of playing around with the filters and nos/os generally prefer the slow filter. But moods change sometimes and so do the settings. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @macg19 I’ve owned the Int 60 and think it would better the Luxman and Accuphase with your speakers. Luxman imo is a little too cool and the Accuphase I don’t think will give you the fullness on the 40’s that the Pass will. In my opinion the Pas... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @donquichotte +1 on your review. I’m strongly considering an E380 to drive a pair of QLN speakers I just purchased. Your review reinforced a couple of other (professional) reviews I’ve seen and has helped my decision process immensely. | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps Thanks auroravengeance. All interesting suggestions. Not looking for an integrated though. |
