| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? Hello Drubin,Although I have never had my Dunlavys placed on anything, I have read some threads in the past of others doing it and if I remember correctly....they had liked the results.I have liked how mine sound in "my room" well enough to not tr... | |
| Best amplifier for Tannoy GRF Memory HE I have vintage 12" monitor golds in custom cabinets and have had great results with single ended 300b,845, and pushpull EL84's. The Tannoys although being very musical speakers, are also very revealing of their upstream electronics feeding them an... | |
| Pilot 245A Integrated tube amp You are a very lucky guy to have discovered the Pilot 245! I kid you not, that is one fantastic amplifier. I have had one for close to twenty years now. The transformers on that amp are some of the most musical there are for EL84 amps. I have a fr... | |
| Tonian Classic 12.1s vs. Vintage Tannoy MG 12 Just to follow up, I received an email from Tony, the designer and he said that all a person needs is 18" between the back of the speaker and the wall behind it. He said that the plates in the back of the speaker are adustable to adapt to almost a... | |
| Tonian Classic 12.1s vs. Vintage Tannoy MG 12 Knott,Thank you for taking the time to look through the other thread to see my Tannoy speakers.Yes, you are correct. The back of the Tannoys are only 18" from the wall behind them. In this placement, having the bass reflex ports on their front is ... | |
| Tonian Classic 12.1s vs. Vintage Tannoy MG 12 Thank you Knott for sharing your thoughts. I'm sorry, I do not know how to post a picture to this thread, but here is a link to another thread that has photos of my Tannoys in question. Maybe by looking at these photos, it may give you more inform... | |
| Vintage Amps - Pleasantly surprised One of the most important aspects of tube gear is the transformers used. Simply put, vintage transformers are awesome and some of my favorite tube amps I have are Pilot amps (I have three different Pilots) using EL84 output tubes giving me about 1... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? Pryso, the Bel Canto SET40 is exactly the amp that I am using with my Dunlavy SCIV's. It does an excellent job of reproducing the lowest octaves of an acoustic double bass and the wallop of kettle and bass drums in a symphony. For me, that is all ... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? Hello Meadowman,I have found that even though the SCIV's are a relatively low impedence speaker, that because their impedence is very flat and not all over the map that they present a pretty easy load for amplifiers. The key is to use an amplifier... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? I also have a pair of the Dunlavy SCIV improved, but not IVA's. I have had these for many years and they are still my favorite speakers of all time. They do more things right and seem to be so even balanced. They are extremely revealing, so you ca... | |
| Gold Lion reissue 12ax7 vs. Mullard reissue 12ax7 Hello Lloydc,Thank you for you response, as these are some of the types of things I was looking to hear about. Hello Tpreaves,I agree that the only way to know for sure how these tubes will work out is to try them all for yourself. I understand th... | |
| Gold Lion reissue 12ax7 vs. Mullard reissue 12ax7 I would also be interested in hearing any comments in how the Shuguang PSVANE 12AX7-T would compare to the Gold Lion reissues and/or Mullard reissues.Thank you for sharing your thoughts. | |
| Bach: Six Suites Unaccompanied For Cello Hello Macallan25Here is a link to my recommendation above for the Daniil Shafran. It truly is a spectacular performance and excellent recording quality as well. At the price, it is well worth you trying. http://www.amazon.com/Bach-Suite-Cello-Nos-... | |
| Bach: Six Suites Unaccompanied For Cello Daniil Shafran performing "Bach Suites for Solo Cello" on Yedang Classics. This is truly some of the best solo cello playing I've ever heard and the recording quality is top notch. It is "raw", "intense", and the "presence" is unbelieveable! Try t... | |
| Recommendation for Schubert Piano Trios Op 100 Which would you say has the better sound quality between the Storioni and the Beaux Arts Trio when just comparing the redbook layer....not SACD? I'm using a Naim CDS2/xps and it does not play SACD or upsample, so I'm looking for the best sound for... |
