| Pulling myself out of old, broken equipment, one hesitant step at a time... Before proceeding further, tell us about your room. A great deal of imaging is related to setup and proper room treatment of first reflection points and decay. | |
| Pulling myself out of old, broken equipment, one hesitant step at a time... I agree, that amp has the traits you want and is a good amp. You don’t mention your front end, but that may be worth upgrading. Pick your speakers and enjoy. | |
| AMP or Preamp All three would be good choices. Wilsons are extremely revealing of upstream components, so I would try several if possible. | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO I swear, Bob Carver is the kicking boy of the industry since he dares to do things differently. I have gladly owned a Sunfire Amp for 15 years. In fact, it is the only piece of equipment I haven’t replaced in 15 years. Instead, last year, I had... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers Snell Model A, but early 80s Kefs (104/2, 105, 107) would be up there. | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution I am going to suggest something different than the distributed array given the size of your room. Tim (Noble 100) will undoubtedly have a meltdown, as he is a member of the distributed array church and no others are allowed to suggest there is any... | |
| Please Help Me!! I have the exact unit you are looking for, but before I disclose the information about the seller, he requires you answer a few questions, as he will only sell to the correct person:1). What will you be using to elevate your speaker cables?2). Gre... | |
| Speaker level EQ There are great sub dsp solutions, but they won’t work for you. With two subs, you should be able to address virtually all room modes at your listening position by placement. I would get room eq and purchase the needed microphone ($60) as it makes... | |
| Anyone running Schiit Audio Freya preamp and a pair of Vidar power amps? What speakers? The current Freya S and Freya + do conversion in both active gain stages. | |
| Magnepans or...Martin Logan I am going to agree with the others. I am a Magnepan owner and have been for 25 years. Both Magnepans and Martin Logans are love them or hate them speakers. If you love them, you don’t want anything else, if you hate them, you are unwilling to liv... | |
| Sunfire classic tube pre amp, Difference between Signature 97’ and non Sig. 01’ models. If doesn’t know, outside of Bob Carver, probably nobody knows. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp I like my balanced connects, no loose or cold welded RCA plugs, always an easy and solid connection. Using “Worlds Best Cables” with 2534 wire that cost $30 a set. Couldn’t be happier, but my equipment is fully balanced differential from the da... | |
| Sunfire classic tube pre amp, Difference between Signature 97’ and non Sig. 01’ models. Contact Bill Flannery. He worked for Sunfire and is Bob Carver’s recommended service provider for Sunfire equipment, having all the service manuals and updates. He probably knows off the top of his head. Super nice guy and reasonably priced (rebui... | |
| Amp recommendation for Vandersteen Treo CT The Treo’s are really nice speakers, one of the few I would consider replacing my Magnepans with (previously have owned 3A Sigs). As you are looking at integrated amps, and I don’t keep track of them, I won’t make a specific suggestion. That said,... | |
| ADCOM Had a 5500. A big, ballsy, over the top amp, let down by graininess in the mid and upper frequencies. I sent it to Stan Warren to be upgraded and bought a Sunfire Stereo 300 to use while waiting. The Sunfire was not the over the bombastic amp th... |
