| AFFORDABLE 20 amp power cord for a Hydra? Thank you all. In a panic I did order a cheater adapter from Voodoo Cable. And, I do have a Audience chord (15A) I can try. I'm thinking of trying a Virtual Dynamics Nite I (15A) with the cheater...my first thought. I could sacrifice my...uhhh...w... | |
| Any Newer Class D Mono Amps On The Horizon? Spenceroo: At RMAF in October Channel Islands were demonstrating a more powerful pair (than their D-200) of mono blocks....I think they were either 400 or 500 WPC into 8ohms. Below is a link to a picture from their exhibit room. Don't know the pro... | |
| Rega Apollo vs. Cambridge Audio Azur 840c I'm getting a little ways off the thread so foregive me for this brief diversion. Smargo: What's your take on the dither function on the 840C? I'm relatively new to this hobby, and I think I understand the 'trade off" between to dither (more detai... | |
| Rega Apollo vs. Cambridge Audio Azur 840c Smargo: Looking forward to that mark...you think 200 hours is the rite of passage for this model? | |
| Rega Apollo vs. Cambridge Audio Azur 840c I just bought the 840C a few days ago...it is at about 75 hours of running time thus far. My 'reference' CDP is the Jolida 100 with a level II modification. In my A-B comparisions so far, I'd say the 840C has a titch more detail, though the more a... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... I emailed the folks at Nuforce a couple of months ago and they said they would not be there. I guess it is possible for a dealer to bring the amps(?) I would love th hear a V2 version. | |
| Replacement tubes for 5687 Check out this thread here on Audiogon: MODWRIGHT SWL9.0 SE TUBE ROLLING. I too have this pre and, in general, the experience and advice was/is spot on. | |
| tube pre suggestion Samgupta101: I have been running just about the same amps as you (Nuforce 9 modded by Reference Audio Mods to SE or better, but V1)along with the Modwright pre for a year now and am extremely satisfied with what I hear. My speakers are Von Schweik... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Hawaiian Slack Key Kings. Given as a gift...lucky me. Wonderful solo guitar with depth. Easy listening...ain't no Hendrix. Great when you're hiding from the heat. | |
| Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies? Thanks, Rooze. You want a professional opinion...you ask a pro! "I can see clearly now the haze is 'gon..." | |
| Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies? SORRY TO SAY...the gathering, w/ the possible Nuforce/Maggie pairing, originally planned for 4/21 has been postponed to sometime in May. Rpcoins: I see your point, and from my perspective that would be the sole factor regarding NOT trying this con... | |
| Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies? Lively thread. Punkawalla: regarding your 'what is Class D power?' 4/9 post, what I meant to say is Class D AMP power...meaning a switching amp. Though a watt is a watt etc., 50 WPC coming from an SS amp makes a speaker perform differently than 50... | |
| Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies? Drubin: Actually, I own a set of NuForce 9.02s that have been modded(sp?) so they are more like the SE model but with a little more power...my friend has the Maggies. So, an 'experiment' is possible without much to risk. I'm just wondering about t... | |
| Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies? Markwatkis: My initial thought was a lot like what you are saying...that to get the most from the Maggies, for the best dynamics and extension, drive 'em with a high WPC amp like Bryston. (I used to own a pair of 7BSTs and they easily drove multi-... | |
| Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies? Punkawalla:How did you know I was dating?The Maggie/Nuforce combination is a brainstorm that may come to fruition when a group from our local audio club gets together. Still too frickin' cold to get a real life here in Minneapolis. I am particular... |
