| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier sir speedy; i heard all the speakers you mention at CES and in other places......as well as the Midi Exqusite's at CES.first, i was NOT impressed by the Midi's at CES......and if you based your opinion of the Midi based on CES i would understand y... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier i've gone back and forth whether to respond to 'Cinematic Systems' regarding his interpretation of mine and other posts as some sort of dismissal of Kharma in favor of Von Schweikert. i guess some response is in order.first, no one has had a chanc... | |
| Which is better, gain in phono stage or pre amp? later this summer DarTZeel will be introducing a battery powered preamp with a phono stage. i heard the prototype at CES in Janurary. it was amazing.....possibly the best i've yet heard. this was in a system using a pre fairly well known to me (an... | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier i must disagree with my friend Hooper (and particularly Cinematic Systems). i currently have the Kharma Midi Exquisites in my room and am listening with a single DarTZeel NHB-108. my room is pretty large (21' x 29' x 11') and at first i did feel t... | |
| Where is Your Turntable? mine is immediately to the left side of my listening position along the left wall (room is 21 feet wide); there is a 1 meter interconnect to the phono stage on a rack next to the tt. the wall behind the tt has a large multi-cylinder diffuser. the ... | |
| Do you keep your EMM DAC 6e on? i would trade my DAC6 with fan for a DAC6e without the fan.i live in Seattle and have air conditioning. | |
| Do you keep your EMM DAC 6e on? my early DAC6 has a fan and runs luke warm.....the noise bugs me in my new 'quiet-as-a-tomb' room......but it has it's benefits.....i never turn it off (except when playing vinyl). | |
| Best Amps for Von schweikert 7se,9se,11se Snook2, my VR9SE's are a few (2 to 4) weeks away.....and i have been considering the same question. the obvious choices for me will be the DarTZeel NHB-108 and the Tenor 300 Watt Tenor hybrids.....since i have both. I have only heard the DarTZeel ... | |
| Wilsons Watt/puppy 6 .... where in my room? Jorsan, you have some great speakers there....congrats!if you could somewhat describe your listening room and limitations of where the speakers can be in the room that would be helpful. dimentions, including connected open spaces......where are th... | |
| New Construction Acoustic Design & Consulting Stehno, no need to apologize...no offense taken. you and i both agree on the 'art' factor of the Exqusites....they always brought me pleasure just looking at them...the VR9's are at best 'industrial'. to be fair.....my VR9's will be in Piano Black... | |
| New Construction Acoustic Design & Consulting Michael; i assume your post is directed at me. this thread was started by Dbk....who mentioned the 'floating floor'. my floor is directly glued to the concrete and is real wood venier over a composite wood base....very solid. my site is very dry a... | |
| New Construction Acoustic Design & Consulting Stehno, as my article and above post spell out.....i do clearly think that if a person has a relatively 'clean sheet of paper' to start with.....getting a single comprehensive professionally created plan makes the most sense for most audiophiles..... | |
| New Construction Acoustic Design & Consulting i admit i'm biased to the path i choose regarding room design. i had spent 9 years learning and observing cause and effect in my room acoustics and other's rooms. i had read countless articles and opinions......looked at lots of products......spok... | |
| wilson watt puppy 7 question: Michael, the spacers are for tuning the bass and should be room, amplifier, and set-up dependant....so there is no 'right' amount.when i had WP6's i started with no spacers but kept fighting a mid-bass 'hump'. my room was only 12' wide and the spe... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Sig. v Koetsu Rosewood SigPlat George, sorry for the delay in my response. when i saw your question i had to think about it some. i have always had it in my mind that i had an RSP II. so i went to my original reciept and it said 'RSP II'. i then looked back at the original Ster... |
