| Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir? Bstat, hey buddy. Have you actually heard the RP 600s, or are you going on all of the fabulous reviews ? I am a Klipsch guy, mostly the Heritage line. I have not heard them, but have a pair of earlier RB3s, maxed out by me, a few pair of maxed out... | |
| Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir? rockrider, please no offense, but I totally agree with George on this one, and I have heard your speakers and matching sub. Yes, they can show you amplifier differences, but the real nuances of music, not a reviewers pair of speakers. I also belie... | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten Do not own any of his gear, but I will say, based on his attendance and contributions here on the forums, I believe everything you say about him, and his company, to be exactly as you say. A true gentleman, with an amazing plethora of knowledge. E... | |
| New System for Pool Table Room I would mount a few " bipole " speakers on the walls to cover the length of the room. B & W, Klipsch, so many to choose from. Adding a sub, well, that could easily be located somewhere centered in the room, or, get a pair of subs. Start with t... | |
| New System for Pool Table Room The sound of pool balls is wonderful. Why mask it ? A boom box should do. Unless, you intend to spend much more time in this area listening to music. You have not made that clear, unless I do not know how to read. Just try to simulate a pool " bar... | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? This question can be applied to any product category ( we are talking audio equipment, right ). In my journeys, and we are talking speakers, some expensive $ speakers fell short in living up to their capabilities, because of the inadequate room, a... | |
| Good starter amp recommendation My comment on the B&K ST 140, was stated by me " by todays standards ". Yes, I agree, back then it was a good amplifier, and especially for the price. But not today, and this, is ime, and, imo. Sorry to have hurt some feelings here. But even b... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? Georgie, fyi, emcdade is stating, in the last paragraph of his post, that his Perla pre " is a passive " unit. Man, you are always defensive and ready to fight. Relax there fella. | |
| Take up drums at age 56? This is what I told people when I set up for karaoke night. Have fun ! | |
| Any experience with Tannoy loudspeakers? bache’s English is not the best, so just for the sake of all of the contributors on this thread, and others of the ops, bache is a manufacturer of speakers out of Brooklyn N.Y. I do not believe he is a shill, not telling anyone. I just do not thin... | |
| Good starter amp recommendation I will not make a recommendation on what to buy, but I will make recommendations ( cautions ) on what not to buy. Early B & K ST 140s. By todays standards, very dark, very muddy, very soft, no dynamics. 20 plus year old McCormack amps. Ready f... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? George has been saying all along, that with today's digital sources, with the lower impedances and 2 volt outputs, the gain stages of preamps are not necessary. I do concur with these findings. 25 years ago, or more, there were passive units avail... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? George, I am sure you meant Black. Do those pictures say Black Beauty anywhere ? I cannot find it. I know about the Black bodied attenuators that Alps made, but they are no longer made, as the " Blue " does the trick. A buddy of mine purchased 4 o... | |
| Preamp Question A few questions. How did you use the Freya, tube gain, jfet buffer, or passive ? I could understand the sources sounding better direct to the amplifier. Are you happy with the sound of each connected to the amp ? I suppose what I am getting at, wo... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? George, picture is just a picture. Did you know that Alps never referred to the control as a Blue Velvet. Nowhere on their web site have I found it. If you could find it, please post it. I believe some audiophile engineer, in using it, gave it tha... |
