Anybody know what happened at JOB...
adameos, in your 1st room, when you experienced the hum, might be because of a severe ground loop, or even a light dimmer, on the same circuit. Could be any number of things. But the amp is quiet, when used with better matched components, precedin... 
Anybody know what happened at JOB...
abery, I have to disagree with you, my friend. You had the Rogue pre, prior to your BHK, and you needed to do the same with the Schiit passive. The problem is not with the Nuforce and Zu interface, but the pre’s and the Nuforce. If you eliminate t... 
Anybody know what happened at JOB...
In my 1/2 dozen times of hearing the RX20s, I always preferred ss amplifiers with  well designed, beefy, power supplies. Some were 40 or so wpc, some were 200 wpc. The speakers are a nominal 8 ohm load, so it should not be a problem for the STA 20... 
Anybody know what happened at JOB...
Abery, I am wondering why Zu does not offer biwiring / biamping options. To be able to vertically, passively biamp your speakers, using a 2nd Sta200, would be, imo awesome. I am using my pair in another system, doing this ( although, admittedly, I... 
The best looking speakers
prof....good for you, as, it should be.....The point I was making was based on me, and my experiences....Great example. My ex wife ( we were together for 34 yrs ), did not like the look of many speakers I have owned ( not just speakers, such as ca... 
Anybody know what happened at JOB...
As I mentioned in another post, I felt that Goldmund made a big mistake ( as the Job products are concerned ) in licensing the amplifier technology to Nuforce ( now Nuprime ). Having heard the Nuforce STA200 ( I own 2 ) side by side to the Job 225... 
The best looking speakers
 This " best looking speaker " subject, is generally, when a husband, spouse, or roommate ( the audiophile buyer ), does not have a room totally dedicated to him / her self. Somewhat unfortunate, as, the music enjoyment, which we all agree, is the... 
The best looking speakers
If you can find a pair for sale, the Jadis Eurythmie................The ’96, N.Y. Stereophile audio show, at the Waldorf, was their introduction to the US market, along with some other Jadis gear. I was part of that exhibit, as the music playing h... 
Amber, anyone?
Harry, I believe you meant, musically pleasant " amplifiers ", in your last sentence, lol. I would discuss with your tech friend, other parts and components, that can be changed out, besides the capacitors. I had so many amplifiers, that, in their... 
Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6)
jsautter, I can, w/o question, improve upon some of the flaws, inherent in the new Khorns, as I have, and many other Klipsch devotees, have learned to do. Nothing, cannot be improved upon, be realistic..... 
Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6)
It is all about trade offs and compromise, which I hear in EVERY design, at EVERY price......If I am not mistaken, George owns a version of ML Monoliths ( likely modified to the tilt, knowing George ), which I have much familiarity with. Just as I... 
Amber, anyone?
I was buddies with Anthony Gallo, of Gallo Acoustics, before Anthony made it big. I helped him along with his journey of loudspeaker design ( as a listener / beta tester only, and was offered, by him, to invest in his, then, company start up ). I ... 
Stax amplifier vs Stax adaptor
Although I totally agree with Al's assessment and experience, as I had the same ( I no longer own any of these Stax products ), I would like to add one more thing, which I am not sure Al " completely " answered, based on the entire question. The p... 
Any Love For Bryston Here?
Eric, I am not only speaking of the storage cap failures, although, there were a number of poor quality caps that I have seen, as well as excellent caps. Many older pieces of gear, with newer components, re soldering of circuit traces, etc. ( comp... 
Any Love For Bryston Here?
Eric, my statement was based on my experience with many " class A ss amps I owned, or installed for clients. Also, ime, many tube products, both amp and preamp categories. Not all class A, btw. Not to mention, the products of many companies, that ...
