| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. Cptaz, Size-wise I think the Kensington or Yorkminster would be a ideal for that room. Mike | |
| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. James63,If you ever swing by Atlanta, you should be able to get a good demo of the Kensington SE, possibly Glenair 15, and maybe even Kingdom Royals too. The Prestige dealer in Marietta (Northwestern suburb of Atl) is located just down the street ... | |
| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. James63,75dB is definitely lower than I listen, and I've got the system balance optimized for my (higher) preferred levels. Our ears' frequency response sensitivity changes with SPL (e.g. Fletcher-Munson curves), so I would definitely set the syst... | |
| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. I've had the Kensington SE in my system for 2 years now. I've also heard the 2 Glenair models. I fell hard for the Tannoy sound a while ago, and though I do enjoy the attributes of certain other speakers, the dual-concentric sound has become deepl... | |
| Rogue Hera II Jtwrace,Your amp's input impedance is not as relevant as its sensitivity, here. Look for a number that's power yielded for a given RMS input voltage, OR a gain factor. The Hera has a very low output impedance, so a 100K amp input is a very easy jo... | |
| Rogue Hera II Yes, the gain in balanced mode is especially high, and that can contribute to a discernable noise floor. It's the white-noise kind of noise (i.e. "ssshhh"), which I find far less offensive than any kind of hum or buzz. It just depends on your down... | |
| Rogue Hera II First off, I apologize if you've asked this question before and I've already answered it - there aren't many folks that have heard this unit and I've been feeling a need to spread the love.Love it; best preamp I've owned by far. The original Hera ... | |
| DAM Broken tube? If it's a loose rattling then it could be a small piece of debris inside the tube. I've seen this mostly in vintage tubes and it's usually harmless.More commonly, a semi-rigid rattling is caused by the heater filament banging around inside of the ... | |
| Rougue Yes, Rogue is truly excellent to work with. Give them a call - even if it's NOT under warranty I'm sure they'd be able to help out for very reasonable rates. In think you may get lucky here and only need a change of tube(s) and fuse(s) - in which ... | |
| Tannoy stirling HE vs SE Apparently (forgot where I read this), in the move from HE to SE, Tannoy finally started using more "audiophile-approved" parts inside the Prestige line of speakers. The internal wiring is done in Acrolink copper, which is high-end cabling from Ja... | |
| Jolida jd 100 owners I think their function is as a shield, not as a damper. I've had a couple of vintage amps that use a single metal-can shield only on the input/"gain" tubes. Then again, most modern amps don't seem to bother.Not sure if they're necessary in this ca... | |
| suggestions for preamp/amp combos A Rogue Stereo 90 Magnum power (should do 100+ Watts continuous, no problem) and 99 Magnum pre should fall in that price range. Very clean all-tube sound; far from harsh, bright, or analytical. If there is a weaker link of the paring, it would be ... | |
| anyone heard a Rogue Athena? Jerico, glad you're liking the Athena.Keith - I'm in Atlanta. I only had the lower-lines of Rogue gear available for audition down here. Just took a leap of faith when the Hera showed up in the classifieds this winter (during the most particularly... | |
| Audioquest DBS pack orientation? I guess your Leopard is RCA terminated on both ends? Mine is DIN plug terminated on the source end, and the DBS pack is on the downstream end near the RCAs - the pack would be difficult to manage where it so close to a tonearm. Not sure if they'd ... | |
| Comments on Tannoy Kensington SE - Room size Yes, the orchestral stuff (a small segment of my LP collection, but a highly enjoyable one at that) is incredibly demanding. You'll need either lots of power or very high efficiency speakers (upper 90's at least). Perhaps someday, go for a 2nd sys... |
