A stupid question(s) about power cords @dill , what are you implying ? Matt is going through a growth spurt with his system, if you have been paying attention to his threads. Unfortunately, making the power cable change and discussing any differences, will not be valid, since at a simi... | |
A stupid question(s) about power cords @audphile1 Interesting that you got one to try. As I mentioned somewhere else, I could not build a cable as good as this for this silly amount of money. I have had power cables in my system retailing at $1K, and none of them blew me away, over the... | |
My new B Stock speakers Matt, I have not responded to this thread, as I thought the power cable thing was going to be a thing. The change of speakers was a complete surprise to me, and maybe it was to you too. I will hold back my opinions on the speaker change, as I feel... | |
My new B Stock speakers FYI, A pair of the 126be showed up for sale on USAM from a seller in Michigan. Asking 3K with the matching stands. | |
Galion TS120 Hey all, I hope everyone is well. I have been in contact with Thomas about getting an amp sent to me for evaluation and ultimately a review here. Talking about Nola and Carl certainly brings back memories of those times in Long Island, N.Y. I had ... | |
Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? You can always contact Greg Roberts at Volti Audio for the changes he made. | |
Quandary For the $300, he was bringing over a pair of mono amps....2 X 100 lbs. A lot of work, imo. Not fair however, because the mono blocks would have enough characteristics to be different than the single chassis amp. I had an XA 25 here on loan from a ... | |
A speaker stand with room for an amp? I don’t belong on this thread, as my mileage varies. Best of luck, MrD. | |
Subwoofer Suggestions I have owned many subs in my lifetime, and at your price point, I recommend the RSL 10S MK II. I own the 12S, and it replaced a pair of high quality subs (I will not mention the name here, as I do not want to offend anyone or any brand). My best, ... | |
Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers I too am going with soix. Subjectively should have been stated, and all would have been fine. My best, MrD. | |
Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers @soix +1...Hegel, now Luxman....do either enable you to enjoy your tunes ? Why do they ? Why do they not ? This will help you, and us, to further assist / guide you in a direction. Consider a pair of subs, based on improving things, and you have t... | |
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? Matt, I am sorry to hear that. Feeling nauseous when listening to much recorded material, is quite severe, and again, you are not alone. I fortunately enjoy everything I listen to...recorded well or not....as I listen to the performance, 1st and f... | |
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? Keep in mind the passive radiator used in the FIV; they need to be experimented with the distance to the rear wall. I find the design to be too low, so a base of some kind can be used to elevate them, or you can create a tilt up elevating the F fr... | |
Help me identify speakers - AR90s? Value and replacement cost? Based on the 3rd photo it seems the mid bass driver is showing signs of excessive wear of the surrounds, and I am guessing they all might be in need of servicing / replacing. Leave / sell them and purchase new (or preowned) when you settle into yo... | |
A stupid question(s) about power cords A lot of pressure to be under, having to report back on a power cable difference. I want to say, this difference will not be as huge as changing out a preamp, but ime, as much as a tube. You need to know your system. You need to know the particula... |
