| Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2 I second the previous poster - the cj premier 350 is a terrific match with the Sophia's, specially using Transparent Audio Reference cables. The ARC reference 110 is a different option, but equally worth listening to. | |
| Replacing speakers in Lat-1's Since you have a Krell system I doubt you can improve your speakers other than changing them for LAT1000 ... However DIY people with some knowledge of loudspeaker design and the help of of a measurement system can modify these speakers to sweet ot... | |
| This funny You will feel a lot better if you go the Magico site and look for the Magico M6 speaker - a similar aluminum enclosure speaker costing usd 160000 per pair! | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Lloyd, I understand you. But you are in trouble ... Gryphons is fantastic gear but does not have the fullness of tubes in my opinion. There is a way of making the premier 350 much fuller and more tube like - using the ART preamplifier, unhappily v... | |
| This funny Radrog, You have a pair of excellent speakers, independently of tweeter cost. If you had bought the tweeter from Krell it would have cost you the double, but I think they would have measured it and sent a selected matched unit. Many, many years ag... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 Please do not consider me pedantic, but I think that such thing as the "6h30 sound" does not exist. I owned Audio Research REF2 mk2 , REF3 , conrad johnson ACT2 and ACT2 series 2 (all using the 6h30 exclusively in the amplifying stages) and could ... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 My CD8 is sounding better than ever. I am currently hosting a pair of JM Labs Grande Utopia Be - great speakers, that have a tilted up balance in the upper frequencies above 2 kHz. Until two weeks ago I could not listen for longtime to to the CD8,... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Krell Lat-1's The LAT series of speakers are one of the most under-rated components in hifi history. They are really good, although expensive and not easy to match. They sound great with Pass electronics or the cj premier 350 using and ACT2 preamplifier.The LAT... | |
| Pre-AMP to Match a KRELL KSA-250s Jess, If you are leaning towards Krell preamplifiers look for the KRC - it is much better than the KCT - bass was fuller, much better controlled. The KCT sounded sterile compared with the KRC. Although I prefer tube preamplifiers (DarTZeel is my e... | |
| Audio Research Ref 110 - Ref 3 Cable Interconect I have tried several cables with a CD7 (currently CD8)- REF3 - ref110, but my preference is still the discontinued Shunyata Orion and Andromeda. Recently I borrowed some Crystal Dreamline for a few days, but their cost was almost the same of the A... | |
| DartZeel NHB18 with other brand poweramps I have used the DarTZeel preamplifier with very good results with Krell FPB 750 MCX amplifiers with the Dartzeel 50 ohm cable using a T BNC with a 50 ohm terminator and a BNC RCA-XLR adatpter. Loudspeakers were either the Krell LAT1000 or the Soun... | |
| upgrading JADIS JA-200, JPS2 and JPS3 Jadis models last for many years - your JA-200 was introduced more than 20 years ago and the circuit dates from the 60's - I have the schematic of the original Loyez amplifier in a Millerioux application note from 1966. The type of capacitors chan... | |
| Pre-AMP to Match a KRELL KSA-250s The old Audio Research LS2 was a fantastic match with the KSA250 - tube sound with solid state balanced drive!I heard this system several times with Sonus Faber Extremas and it sounded much better than it should! | |
| Turntable Speed The 20 years old classical book The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill fully described a high quality variable sinusoidal power supply that could be easily built with a full cost of less than 50 usd in parts. I can not understan... | |
