| Bryston Amp Experience Needed I’m not sure what the sensitivity (efficiency rating) is for your KEF speakers, but my guess is that the Bryston 3B3 will perform fine and sound great in your system. I have a 4B2 which is a wonderful amp but I had an in-home demo of a 2.5B3 with ... | |
| Used copies of The Cure “Bloodflowers” on vinyl @ $300+? @reubent - I just looked it up on Discogs. The Polydor double LP that is for sale is listed at $399! I don’t get the sense that the vinyl version has any different SQ compared to the CD. I suspect the high selling price is more about rarity and co... | |
| Soundstage Width and Depth @baclagg - can I ask about your system? What pre-amp and amp and speakers and source are you using? I’m curious aside from the recording itself, which components can render a huge soundstage. My thinking is that a great preamp plays a big role. | |
| Used copies of The Cure “Bloodflowers” on vinyl @ $300+? I just checked eBay and “4:13 Dream” on vinyl appears to be rare as well. I found a new copy listed for $123.19 and used copies at around $85 when you factor in shipping. How is this possible in the modern age from a band on a good record label wh... | |
| NAD 2200 Power Envelope I had the 2200 amp, the earlier version without the “PE” on the faceplate. The owners manual talked about the whole “Power Envelope” circuitry which was supposed to make the amp much more powerful during transients, etc... The copy sounded convinc... | |
| Vibration Source? Just curious if the “vibration” through the speakers is your system trying to resolve some detail on certain recordings and being unable to unveil the detail due to some system deficiency. When you said the same passage comes across as just “noise... | |
| iPad directly into Amp - okay idea? or bad idea? Are you using a mini headphone stereo plug that splits into RCA’S right and left channel? If if you are proposing going straight to the auxiliary or tuner RCA input from the iPad, I would say that this is a bad idea. I mean, the sound quality from... | |
| About to purchase Bryston BP-2MM moving magnet phono stage for Sondek LP-12 My BP2-MM has yet to be delivered. Bryston is not shipping any orders right now. I’m under the impression that the Bryston 1/3 chassis phono stage plugs right into the MPs-2 external power supply. My dealer did say I needed to order the umbilical ... | |
| Upgrades for Thiel CS 3.6? @jafant - is there something I need to do to get to the Thiel owners thread? I’m not sure how to look it up. | |
| Aragon 2004 I had a brochure for an Aragon amp back in the day. Is this one of the ones with the "V" cutout in the top? Those amps looked pretty awesome. I guess being as old as it is, you should check it out to make sure both channels are fully operational a... | |
| Sonic effects of 20+ year old crossover capacitors? @pragmasi - How do I even access the crossover? | |
| Upgrades for Thiel CS 3.6? @unsound thanks! Any idea what these pending upgrades are going to cost or what one could expect with respect to changes in sound quality from the CS-3.6. | |
| Upgrades for Thiel CS 3.6? Hello - I just watched a short PS Audio YouTube video discussing the importance of replacing dried out capacitors in speaker crossover networks over 20 years old. I was just wondering if there is a tutorial, or better yet if anyone has either a ki... | |
| audiophiles who are just getting the itch to upgrade I keep hearing about the Karousel bearing that just came out from Linn which is supposed to be quite nice. I have a Linn Sondek LP12 with the same Ittok arm. I have not upgraded the motor power supply. I plan to get the Lingo 4 power supply, the K... | |
| Upgrades for Thiel CS 3.6? @gpaulmg1: just curious what amp you are using with the 3.6’s? My understanding is is that these are lower efficiency speakers that take some trial and error to get a proper impedance match for best sound. They only sound so-so when paired with a ... |
