| CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence? I have owned Neutral, Cross, Golden Cross and Golden Reference. Like some others here, I did not care for NR at all. It seemed to have the weaknesses of the other lines, and none of the strengths. I think maybe it was envisioned as a home theatre ... | |
| Which RCA To Use for VH DIY Silver Interconnects I just made a set with these,FP-108(R) PCOCC Central PIN RCA Plug Rhodium Plated 9.3mmThey are very well made using an OCC copper pin with Rhodium, and they have a set screw to hold the cable plus set screw terminations for the wire. Furutech offe... | |
| Any tweaks recommded for under cd player? Can't remember for sure and would have to take them off. They are screwed into the mfg feet in the bottom. Lector wisely uses only three feet so the player sits without rocking. The cones are supported directly on a BD Shelf which is supported on ... | |
| Any tweaks recommded for under cd player? I use the BDR cones on a shelf directly below my CDP 7TL MkIII. I have the cones screwed directly into the threaded holes in the gold feet where Lector's own small cones can be threaded. No vibration issues whatsoever. Other things that may affect... | |
| VTL 5.5 vs. Lamm LL2? Nolitan,Jtimothya states it very well in his post about the LL2 D. I cannot add much except to say maybe a very small added prominance in the mid-bass adds to the "dark" description some talk about. The effect will be speaker, amp and room depende... | |
| VTL 5.5 vs. Lamm LL2? Nolitan,I have owned two Lithos 7 Vibes and a Lithos 6 Vibe and operated them with both the Pulse and with the standard power supplies. They all sounded very nice, although the Pulse PS kicks it up a notch with regards to dynamics and depth. The V... | |
| VTL 5.5 vs. Lamm LL2? I have heard about some people using the Placette as you described to add a "remote volume." That would also deal with a gain issue that I didn't elaborate on in my earlier post, since it is discussed on the Lamm website. One of the changes with t... | |
| VTL 5.5 vs. Lamm LL2? Kensetsu, I hear you about the absence of balanced inputs and outputs. Prior to owning Lamm gear, I had a variety of McCormack, Ayre, Aesthetix, and other all-balanced equipment. That changed when I purchased a Tom Evans Vibe/Pulse preamp (se only... | |
| VTL 5.5 vs. Lamm LL2? I have owned both. The VTL has a bit of an "old school" bloomy tubed sound in the mids and bass. However, the top end is very nicely extended and clear sounding. It is a nice sounding and quite musical preamp. The LL2 Deluxe has been described as ... | |
| Need preamp recommendation Jylee,I owned a VTL 5.5, and I really appreciated its drive and liked the way it sounded. The top end was very sweet. However, drawbacks were that it was a little noisy and had sort of a retro tube sound (bloomy bass). IMO, the Lamm LL2 Deluxe is ... | |
| Need preamp recommendation My listening chair is 9 feet from the plane of my speakers. From the chair, I can hear no hiss, hum, buzz or anything from my system which includes the Lamm LL2 Deluxe, especially when the music begins playing. I can hear a very slight tube hiss w... | |
| Need preamp recommendation I have the LL2 Deluxe recommended by Tvad, and it is a great sounding preamp, and quiet too for a fully tubed design - but it is not "dead quiet." Neither was the BAT VK51SE I owned, or any other tubed preamp I have owned (CAT, Asthetix, SF, Joule... | |
| Pre for Aerial 9s, Classe CAM 350 and Modwr. TP Maybe consider the Lamm LL2 Deluxe. It has synergized with the several amps I have tried it with. I believe the input impedance of the 350's should be suitable, but I only found the balanced input impedance on the spec page of their website, which... | |
| Protect cork floors from speaker stand spikes There are any number of "cone coaster" type protectors, but I would recommend trying Herbies big fat dots - either directly under the stands without the spikes (for very little risk to the floor if the stands are bumped), or under the cone coaster... | |
| Why manufactures don´t burn in their amps and ... Hi Ralph,Not to "stir the pot" here, but to simply try and learn something; isn't your discussion largely related to resistance, and isn't that largely related to the gauge of the PC conductors and the length of the PC? Can a power cord achieve th... |
