| 2 10" subs equals 1 12" or 15" sub? And then there is the discussion of 2 subs operating in phase and the likelihood of getting that right. | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please I run an original RM9 that Roger went through, upgraded and re-tubed with RAM KT88s last summer. The KT88s offer more midrange texture/detail and the bass is superior to the EL34s. The result is a truly outstanding amp. I'm using the Benckmark DAC... | |
| Why do amps sound different? We need to bring back Julian Hirsch from the grave to recite all his articles in High Fidelity magazine that covered that subject. Do you remember Julian? He was of the test bench school.Nah, leave him there. It's threads like this one that demons... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? My Music Reference RM9, Counterpoint SA-220, Quicksilver Silver 60s and Pathos Classic One II may see a few others share the rack over the next couple of decades but they're not going anywhere. | |
| tube amps sounding like solid state and vv Give a listen to the Music Reference RM9 or RM10 run passive through a Noble or equally good POT. You'll hear all the benefits of tubes without a tube sound. | |
| Tube amps have a signature sound If you haven't heard a tube amp with good high end then you haven't heard a good tube amp. There are a few that do it all very well, the Stereophile class A rated Music Reference for example.And yes, I would agree to the original premiss there tha... | |
| Anyone try this Yanqin tube buffer? I just read about the Yanqin in another forum and was surprised it's not been discussed here.I have both generations of the Musical Fidelity and would like to compare them with the Yanqin. | |
| Horizontal bi-amping for 3a Signatures One of the advantages of vertical biamping with stereo amps is that the power supply of the amp is only supplying the current needed for one channel of bass. I have owned some of the best tube and SS amps made and with everyone one of them the bas... | |
| Horizontal bi-amping for 3a Signatures Vertical biamping in my case meant one stereo amp per speaker with one channel driving the high end and one channel driving the low end. | |
| Horizontal bi-amping for 3a Signatures I used a pair of Counterpoint SA-220s to vertically bi-amp my 3A signatures for years. It sounded amazing. | |
| speakers for 15' by 12' listening room? The Paradigm Signature S2s sound great in my 9 X 17 listening room. They image beautifully and provide a wonderful sound stage for such a small space. I'm currently running a pair of Quicksilver Silver 60s and the combination is amazing. I also ha... | |
| EL34 Lovers? I have a pair of Quicksilver Silver 60s running Tesla E34Ls that Mike Saunders, the designer of the amp, matched for me. They sound amazing. So open and involving, just totally sweet amps. | |
| Upgraded Counterpoint Hybrid SA-220 Power Amps I have the last SA-220 to leave Counterpoint. It's stock and I'm leaving it that way because it is what it is, a great amp. I'm sitting here listing to a Pathos right now, a couple of Quicksilvers are sitting idle nearby. I've owned a lot of amps ... | |
| Paradigm Signature S-2, S-4:Good, bad, indifferent I bought Ttowntony's S2s and they arrived today. I'm using a Cal Audio Labs transport > Benchmark DA, Pathos Classic One MKII biwired to the S2s with Audioquest Cobalt. They sound great, much smoother and more neutral than anything I've heard t... |
