| Improvement over nuforce sta 200? Most of my colleagues, and folks that I know, who have, and enjoy, the STA 200, wish it were physically, larger in size. Not to be taken in a Freudian sort of way ( maybe ), lol. Your Scansonic MB1s, are, imo, somewhat horn like, in their delivery... | |
| Improvement over nuforce sta 200? @alfau7. I know the amp as well as anyone. Please tell me the system ( ancillary equipment ) you have paired with it, and what do you feel you are missing from your musical enjoyment ? Enjoy ! | |
| Luxman L-509X @builder3, if that truly is the case, I am wrong, plain and simple. But, this is, another switch, in the signal path. I suppose, I am a purist....old school.....less, is more. Enjoy, be well and stay safe ! Always, MrD. | |
| Luxman L-509X Why, oh why, does an expensive amplifier such as this, include the addition of a switch, and additional wires / traces, for speaker switching / headphone listening. I have bypassed this switching and additional wiring, in several amplifiers ( most... | |
| Schiit SYS-49 and phono preamp with or without attenuator? A simpler and shorter path, the signal goes through, is always superior in sq, such as cleanliness and detail of the signal, but the bigger question, ime, would be the output voltage and impedance of the phone stage, to adequately drive the power ... | |
| Thanks Audiogon ! Audiogon did an awesome thing. | |
| seeking ‘HORN’ ideas apart from Klipshc Lascalla @allears4u. All good ! The bass quality on the Lascala is superb. But, " for me ", they need that last bit of bottom, and it depends on the music listened to. I run mine full range ( many tweaks and mods ), and run my subs starting at just below 5... | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store Back when I was in the industry, and even more recently since then, I have experienced and heard stories of people going into shops ( by both the shop staff and the listener ), listening for hours, and then, the listener leaving, only to buy the a... | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night My deepest and most sincere condolences, to Margaret, family, friends, and the entire audio community, for this loss. Al, enlighten those, in the heavens, as you have enlightened us, here, with your knowledge, kindness, camaraderie, humanity, time... | |
| Main Audiogon site barely works? Well, I am glad it was not at my end, as I experienced the same as all of you, and, that they are working on it. Enjoy !, be well and stay safe ! | |
| seeking ‘HORN’ ideas apart from Klipshc Lascalla Oh, btw, take what richopp has to say, with a grain of salt. Well designed horns have the least amount of distortion of most speakers, have dynamics that cannot be duplicated by panels or others, and, he is biased towards Maggies ( which is fine f... | |
| seeking ‘HORN’ ideas apart from Klipshc Lascalla I take nothing away from what many are suggesting here, including the new Cornwall IVs, but, the Lascalas, are a very fine speaker.... a design that has proven itself, for many years, from a great engineer ( P W Klipsch ), and now, the latest, wit... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Very sad. I am grateful to have exchanged posts with Al, and always enjoyed his commentary. A very giving individual, with his time, and knowledge. And what a plethora of knowledge. Such a fine gentleman and human being. My heart and prayers go ou... | |
| What is missing here? Does it really need to have the words to be spoken, that " a 9 wpc tube amp, should be used with high efficiency speakers " ? Maybe to the layman. You, davey, are not a layman. Anyone reading the Absolute Sound, and having 1800 posts here, should ... | |
| What is missing here? The buyer of expensive gear should be somewhat educated on the product, not relying on a review, and use due diligence. I cannot find the Absolute Sound review on line, so if anyone can paste it here, I would like to read it. Maybe I might feel so... |
