| Synergy help please I used a VPI Scout with a Benz Wood MO, Glider and a Ruby 3H OA with an EAR 834P with great, IE musical results and the 834P responds very good to tube rolling and other upgrades. ~ | |
| Fried speaker comparison Actually Trelja, I had the same thoughts about the "Radio Shack" quality crossover components and wiring in my pair of Beta Signatures and set about to upgrade those components. I changed the caps to some Solen polypropolene and upgraded the inter... | |
| Fried speaker comparison I used a pair of Fried Beta Signature's for many years (along with the matching Fried "The Subwoofer") and agree with Shubert's finding although I would add that tube amps really made the Beta's come to life. EL34 based amps were especially killer... | |
| Experience w/Cabasse Farella 400s/Audio Note AZ2 I have extensive experience with the Cabasse Farella 401's with a Pass Labs Aleph 3, a SE DHT amp and P-P tube amps and while all 3 offer very good matches, the SE DHT amps and the 401's are an all around very good combo both musically and perform... | |
| What are some good tube amps that rock? KT88's? The McIntosh MC275 mk V retubed with Genalex KT88's completely rock the house in my system and remain clean, solid and liquid even when I'm in the mood to "stomp on the gas" for some rock and roll fun :-)As for the "Grit" you are experiencing, is ... | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 Why would you need/want to cover up the Sony badge??? Sony makes some damn fine products that compete on all levels of the high end audio scene. The issue is that most people associate Sony Audio with mid-fi and judging from the Sony products sold... | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 Heard them on 2 seperate occasions in very different systems at RMAF and both times the SS-AR1's more than held their own against the other big dawgs especially in the Kimber room setup in a multi-channel system. Cabinet construction is up there w... | |
| EAR 834P help In my system, the power cable that provided the best synergistic match, firmed up the bottom end and solidified the soundstage was a PS Audio Lab ll cable. Also, a NOS Mullard CV4004 in V2 with a tube damper ring is highly recommended and might be... | |
| EAR 834P help I used AQ Cheetah with 24VDC DBS between the 834p and passive preamp with very good results but IME, one would wring greater ROI from tube rolling paying particular attention to V2.Also, the 834P responds very well to power cord upgrades...Cheers | |
| Wilson Benesch Torus Sub As has been mentioned, hook up the Torus as the manufacturer designed it to be and that is thru the high level inputs.I heard the Torus on several occasions and was mighty impressed with it... :-)Cheers | |
| MIT 750's As a long time MIT speaker cable owner which covers the MIT2 Bi-wire, MH-770+, T2 and others, the injection molded box midway along the cable that houses the Multipole components on the older series is what is susceptible to external vibrations. I... | |
| sibilence....any cures out there? Being a previous owner of the Nola Viper 1A, (which have been upgraded to the Viper 1X's), the brightness/sibilance you are hearing is most likely RF infiltration into your system somewhere upstream and the speaker is only revealing that problem. ... | |
| Any experience with Signal Cable for REL sub? If you can swing the scratch, I highly recommend the Synergistic Research Tesla REL SPEC Reference active high level cable. Nothing, and I mean nothing can beat this cable for a downright panoramic soundstage and deep, pitch articulate bass combin... | |
| NAD 3020A Integrated Amp I've owned both the 3020A and the 3225PE units and if your 3020A has the stock preamp/amp jumper links in place, get rid of those things and use a .5m or 1m pair of your favorite IC's. Heck, even the IC's that come stock with most budget/midline c... |
