| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks now i see where you're coming from. the jubilee tweater isn't the best. dynaudio has a better one that they use in their coincidence model - i hear the model 5 is excellent. the impedence curve suggests your choice of amp. also the verity parsifal... | |
| speaker choices for Classe CAM350 mono blocks why do you want to change out these speakers. if you want a different flavor sound play with your amps some more, or speaker cable. if you find the sound of the 350's somewhat dry as stereophile's review suggests could happen, you could use a diff... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 i own quad 63's and a speaker system based on dynaudio speakers (paragon - no longer made). the confidence 5's have a better tweeter than my system - mine goes lower. while i think the quads are a tad more transparent its not something i miss to m... | |
| My first Jazz cd i started collecting jazz about 5 years ago with oscar peterson's(piano)trio playing "we get requests". when i wanted to expand beyond peterson, i looked at who was playing in his group, ie. ray brown. they i tried ray brown, ad infinitum. i enjoy... | |
| Tube reliability in amps drjjpdc, you inquired about tube life - thats easy stuff. there are just too many varibles involved in answering your question re biasing of any particular tube absent a specific application and i am not a resource on the tube amp market.in my opi... | |
| Tube reliability in amps the life of a tube is like a tank of gas. there is a finite amount which is determined most greatly by how much you use it and how far the amp pushed its operating envelope in making the amp (read how much bias required - the more bias required, t... | |
| need amp advice from what i've heard, this speaker is amp sensitive, that is with some amps it will sound boomy/shrill etc. with others it will sound wonderful. matching the amp to the speaker it in my opinion critical. there is a lot of info in this forum and in... | |
| good tabletop radio if you can accept mono, try trivoli audio. its am/fm, very good reception and cost about $100. i purchased mine thru audio advisor. | |
| Soliloquy 6.3 with which tube amp? you might try a push/pull with a little negative feedback to control the woofer. the negative feedback made the difference for me in my system (not soliloquy), current alone did not tighten up the speakers to my satisfaction. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? about 4 years ago i found myself happy with my system, top grade components, musical sound (tubes), and i found that tweaks and other things that were hyped in the mags (rags) did nothing to make my system sound better. so i cancelled my subscript... | |
| Go balanced or unblanced that is the question i have long runs from pre amp to amps. i use unbalanced without any problem w/noise so long as i keep the interconnect away from transformers etc. i had a buzz when i carelessly stuffed some excess interconnect under the output transformers of my ... | |
| Digital Smear??? unfortunately for some of us in sub metropolitan areas(the boon docks) there are no small local dealers of high end equipment, i believe due to the emphasis on home theater and loss of interest by people under 50 in jazz or classical, as well as p... | |
| Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW the bat is worth listening to if you can do so. i'm not familar with the others you mention since after purchasing the bat 3yrs ago i lost the need. the bat is neutral, smooth, and musical in the best sense (its not euphonic, crap in - crap out). | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? i'm not sure about what you mean by best, given the interface between the amp cables and speaker. i own quads and a two piece system by paragon (reminicient of the verity parsifal). the best system i have ever "heard" was a pair of theil 4's power... | |
| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? i once had a sibilance problem - think tubes! since you feel that the cd unit may be a source of your problems, and i agree that it could, audition a tube cd player, if not for purchase, just for the experience. if you like that then you can take ... |
