| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Actually, I am not sure why I am surprised at the lightweight transformers he is using in the amp. I still have in my possession, a Carver MCT moving coil transformer that he sold and priced at $ 149. at the time ( it might have been $ 129. ). It ... | |
| Recommend a Pass Labs amp for Dunlavy SCIVa robmag, for a year, in my 2nd sound room, I used a Crown Macro Reference Studio amp ( the home version which I owned) driving a pair of Sonus Faber Extremas ( the ones with the Kef B139 in the rear ), which were on loan to me from a friend. I thou... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Jim Clark, there is another recent thread started by d2girls, reading : " Tube Amp for JBL 4367 ". Could you post the same there, as it would be helpful. Thx, Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Need to replace a BAT VK200 amp with a smaller and lighter but with equal sound quality. S.J., what speakers are you running ? Is it in an open component rack, as the amp runs warm ? When cleaning, do you need to move it ? In sq, what is it that you like, as most amplifiers have a " personality " ( another recent thread here). The 2 a... | |
| Quick Klispch question Wolf, all of the 5 original Klipsch Heritage series models, from the beginning, till now, have been bargains ( the Belles have been discontinued, for reasons that can be researched ). You should be at least biwiring ( or passively biamping with an... | |
| Quick Klispch question Keep in mind, a big upgrade ( with even the 3s ) is to dampen the squawkers ( the mid horns ), with a Dynamat type material, which if anyone has not done, is really missing out. On the older metal horns ( eliminates the ringing ) and the newer pla... | |
| For those who've moved from "vintage" to newer units I have had the Kenwood, Dyna and EV speakers. Your exact system. Your amp and preamp were just overhauled, so they should be good for another while. You might want to consider updating the crossovers ( more modern components ) of the EVs. If you a... | |
| Should an amp have a "personality"? I believe a system, as a whole, should be able to " show forth " the recordings, in such a way, that when you are in your listening seat ( the sweet spot ), you are hearing your favorite artists and musicians, performing at their " finest ", in th... | |
| Quick Klispch question If I sounded rude, I am sorry. It is relatively easy with the internet. The reviews I mentioned to read, and the data sheets on the Klipsch site ( not the forums ) under the product descriptions. It is all there. More changes than those specified ... | |
| Quick Klispch question Any of the 1/2 dozen professional reviews of the Heresy 3s goes into the changes made from the series 2 to the series 3. The Klipsch site says it all as well. If you have questions after all that you read, I will be happy to help. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Carver M1.5t vs. Krell or ML So, let me get this straight. You have not listened to the reconditioned 1.5T amp yet. You have not received your Dyna 140 speakers yet. You have not heard anything yet, tweaked anything yet, determined what your likes and dislikes are. The Dynas ... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range I am still not convinced it is the amp that is currently his weakness, but, as you say, he is the listener, and purchaser. BTW, I am no longer using my STA 200's in my main system, as I have been going through my closets and found an old gem that ... | |
| Quad ESL 63 In Another League Now Georgehifi, I am surprised at you. I have heard improvements better power cords can make with quite a few brands and models of electrostatic speakers. | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range Tomic, ty, and back at ya ! You too have a lot of background and experience. Can you find me ( know anyone ) a pair of ADS L 2030s ? ( from a prior thread discussion )… So, jackd, if the STA 200 sounded fine with the Nola KOs and the Verity Otello... | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range tomic, I very well appreciate you being a Vandy fanboy, as I understand their many attributes. You seem defensive, and no need to be. Although I mentioned I was not a fanboy ( I am not a fanboy of many brands, as indicated ), I never suggested the... |
