| Speaker for Rogue Cronus Magnum with high WAF Find some used Tannoy Eyris DC3 (I had a lovely pair in dark walnut years ago), <= $1400. Make sure thy're the DC version. Perfect. | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? VAC makes sweet sounding gear.I'll probably be in a similar situation in the future. I've got the three 12AX7 + transformer MC phono in my VAC Renaissance III - it's an awesome phono stage; a solid link in my system right now. I think you're going... | |
| Modwright LS100 versus Rogue 99 It's been a while since Rogue came out with the 99 Super-Magnum upgrade, but I don't think they've been advertising it. Certainly, you can call Rogue to get the info and/or order. Have a friend in town that had his 99 Magnum upgraded to super-magn... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE You guys gushing about the Canterbury are not helping my medium-term financial situation... AT ALL :)Wilfredt,I never liked extreme toe-in (i.e. crossing in front of your head). I've had mine crossing just a touch behind my head. As for the crosso... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Also, as mentioned above - for tube amps with a triode/UL switch, that can make a big difference too! I easily prefer Ultralinear mode on my Rogue Apollos; the dynamics, bass snap & impact just sound muted in triode. The mids are a tiny bit sm... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE I haven't heard the Canterbury SE yet, but damn do I lust for them. I've had no problems with Rogue Apollo tube monoblocks (250 Watts/ch) on my Kensington SE, or on the Yorkminster SE. In fact, you can run the gamut of sonic flavors/attributes - f... | |
| Tannoy Glenair 15? I like them a lot, though I slightly prefer the upper Prestige range (Kensington/Yorkminster SE). At under 10K, the Glenair 15 is a (relatively) great value. I'm a heavy drinker of the Tannoy dual-concentric kool-aid, so do keep that in mind. A wh... | |
| Can all headphones handle HIGH Volume levels? Try reversing the bowl pads on your sr225 - it's a bit of an awkward fit but it does tame the brightness and hence bring out proportionally more bass.If you like that, you can get even more bass by going to ttvj.com and buying his flat pads for II... | |
| 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 ... |
