| Headphone Amps With my Senn 650's I use a Woo WA3 tubed amp w/upgraded power tube and some JJ6922's. Clear and warm tone. W/these tubes it is dead quiet as well. Excellent match with the Senn 650's I think. They also sounded quite nice with the much cheaper Four... | |
| Repair of Cayin HA-2 tube headphone amp Rrog, And you know this how?Hayw, I agree with Buconero. Contact the USA distributor. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? When this thread comes up now all it does is remind me of Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby. Forgive me for LMAO, I know some don't think this is funny. Dull day I guess. :-) | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T If you are asking about Cayin I have had several contacts with the distributor and found him to be very responsive, i.e. return calls same day, and he provided usful information. He services the product and I have no reason to suspect he is less e... | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T I used re-issue Tung-Sol 6550s for power tubes, EI 6CG7's, EH12AX7, and JJ/Tesla 12AU7's. The Tung-Sols have solid bass with a bit of warmth in the upper bass. They are not additive in the higher frequencies as are many of the KT88's, just right I... | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T Ericsh, this is not exactly on point, but I do have a Primaluna Prologue One and a Cayin T100, close to your request but no cigar.So FWIW, I use the One with EL34's (in preference to a Prologue Three & Five combo, which I also own, with KT88's... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Mapman, I agree that either dynamic speakers or omni's can meet someone's expectations of holography. But to get there one needs to thoroughly understand how the speaker propogates its sound and how the room will react to the sound. IMHO this is t... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? I'm somewhat at a loss to understand what exactly the OP means when he refers to 'sonic holography' and wonder if perhaps he is confusing that term with 'stereo image'. IMHO the later refers to a sense of height, width and depth, all of which are ... | |
| Another cheater plug thread Atmosphere, don't the rca's connecting the CDP to the pre-amp effectively ground the CDP chassis? | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? You might consider getting a 2d CDP, one with tubes, to use with the brighter (remasters?) CD's. Then put some soft toned tubes in it. Works for me. :-) | |
| Which setting for 6ohm speakers? I agree with Tom6897, However, FWIW, IME, using the 4ohm taps will accentuate bass performance and the 8ohm taps will improve upper frequency clarity. Obviously it depends on your speakers actual impedence curve, not just the nominal rating, and y... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings Reprince, Agreed. Because of my aversion to long drawn out performances of the mid-symphonies and piano concertos I have enjoyed Pletnev's versions of Sym 2 & 3 and Leif Ove Andsnes Piano Concertos #1 & #2. If you haven't heard the PC's yo... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings Donjr, I don't know why others did not mention Rachmaninoff, but since this thread has taken a sharp turn away from the original thought of putting together a list for beginners, what the hell.Rachmaninoff is a (very) late romantic composer. The m... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings Most all of Moravec's recordings are on CD's on the Suppraphon label - check them out. I bought a bunch of them on sale only to find out I already had most of them on earlier labels. Bummer. | |
| Mating Quad 2905's with crossover and subs? I goofed - I was referring to smaller Quads. Sorry 'bout that. |
