| Joule-Electra preamp/Modwright amp combo? " What amplifiers do you and your friend use with the Joule-Electra preamps?"I use Spectron monoblocks because I have "Sasha" speakers - most power hungry in Wilson line of speakers and the combo is FANTASTIC. One of my friends has MBL-101E, anoth... | |
| Joule-Electra preamp/Modwright amp combo? Modwright KWA 150 is fine power amplifier for right speakers and I am sure you will enjoy it many, many years.Regarding preamplifiers, both Modwright and Joule-Electra are simply, IMHO, in different classes. While Modwright preamp will serve you w... | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm am surprised that nobody mentioned Spectron amplifier. Its very powerful as many know or should know. From their web site: ABSOLUTE POWER by James L. Darby: "Recently, a friend of mine bought a new car - a Bentley Continental GT.....engine was si... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. " Unless you need to rock out at high decibels, I would venture to guess that a SET or OTL would be a more satisfactory experience than a Spectron (which I've heard - it did nothing for me)."Correction: With OTL you can reach very, very "high deci... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. " Why rely on atmasphere to 'tell' you what a SET amp(which one? there are many) sounds like, experience it yourself if you really want to know."Charles1dad: you do have some problem with reading AND understanding at the same time. Athmasphere exp... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. Thank you Athmasphere for your posting. I always learn something new and ineresing from you.However, my posting was completely misunderstood by Charles1dad (or, alernative I was unclear). I was not talking at all about loudness one would prefer in... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. "My present speakers are 92DB, 8 ohm "You don;t need ss power amplifier, IMO, if you like tube. Its very benign load.I don;t know well 300b SET tubes but regarding the power needed for reproduction of the musical peak - your speakers will need muc... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. In the past I own McIntosh 2102 tube preamp and when I tried Spectron with my speakers (at that time WATT/Puppy 8) I felt much more musicality with Spectron and bought it and then another one and use them with my new speakers SASHA (its next gener... | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? " What amps and speakers are you using with the 450?"I have a pair of Spectron monoblocks running Sasha by David Wilson. Extraordinary combination, the best system I ever owned. Many people complain that Wilsons do not have enough of dynamic range... | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? I owned LA-300 and then I moved to 450. Both are excellent and have very similar sonic signature. The difference is that 450 is better and well worth the extra cost.Rarely, if ever I auditioned, not to mentioned, owned so musically involving compo... | |
| What software for 24/192 playback on PC? " How do I play 24/192 files on my Windows based PC? Do I need any specific software?"Yes, you do. Many people, me including believe JRiver is one of the best. Additionally you have to download something like ASIOGood LuckMike | |
| Gallo reference 3.1 Amp + Pre? LINN MAJIK DS Anthony Gallo Reference and many other speakers were developed (voiced ) using Spectron amplifiers. For many years, Mr. Gallo displays his speakers at CES, RMAF and similar hi-fi shows only with Spectron amplifiers. So it is not a "brainer". More... | |
| XLR to RCA Adapters "When one considers the noise cancellation properties of balanced, then you can easily see the reason for superior audio. Less noise equals better sound. "I auditioned Joule-Electra LA-150Mk2, then I owned LA-300ME for an year and now I am blessed... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s " Anyone heard watt/puppy7 with Manleylab 250 neo classics?"I did but with W/P-8. Spectrons (with Joule-Electra preamp) were much better in all respects - musicality the most, also realism, dynamic range etc.Currently, I have Sasha and Spectrons (... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... "Verdi's Requiem, track 2, Dies Irae" Oh yes, sir !!!!!The biggest dynamic range I have experienced when (at holidays only) I use Sony early SACD where Eugine Ormandy conducts Philadelphia Orchestra.I stand corrected - live FM transmissions are pr... |
