| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Naim CDS2/XPS power supply/Super Burndy. This player has none of the digital nasties, gives nice weight to the instruments, is full sounding as well as dynamic and plays effortlessly...meaning it doesn't seem strained or forced. It really gets the... | |
| New PX300B from Genelex Gold Lion I think the sound of any 300B tube will be more dependant upon the amplifier circuit and the tubes driving it than anything else.With that being said, I had a brief audition of a Don Allen 300B stereo amplifier. We first listened to it with TJ Mes... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? Hi Pubul57,That is good to know about the Spelts autoformers. I did not think of that. Thank you. | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? Hello Nilthepill,I am jealous. I have heard and lusted over the sig V's for many years. As much as I love the IV's the V's are so much better providing you have an accomodation music room for them. Unfortunately, I didn't think I had a large enoug... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? Hello Pubul57,I've never heard the Atma-spheres with the Dunlavys. I might be wrong, but I always thought the Atma-sphere amps liked to see high impedance loads, something that the Dunlavys certainly are not. Ralph would be able to answer that muc... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? The Dunlavy SCIV have a very benign electrical load and phase angles thus making life very easy for amplifiers. As long as the amplifier is of a quality design, both big wattage solid state amps as well as lowish powered tube amps will work well.S... | |
| Tannoy VS Dynaudio I don't have enough experience to comment on the Dynaudios, however I have a pair of vintage 12" Tannoy Monitor Golds with the doped paper surrounds in custom cabinets that are well braced and made of baltic birch and walnut veneers, crossovers re... | |
| which el 84 amp or integrated Look for some vintage el84 Pilot amps. They are not much to look at but are simply some of the most beautiful sounding amplifiers ever made. | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV Help Hello Meadowman,I have had a pair of SCIV's for at least 10 years now. They are great speakers and are very easy to drive. I have had great luck using a Bel Canto SET40 which is a stereo amplifier using a single 845 directly heated triode in singl... | |
| SET Amp question I've had great luck with a BelCanto SET40 (stereo amp using single ended 845's) driving my Dunlavy SCIV's which are 91dB and a stable 4-5ohm load. Dynamic, extended at the frequency extremes, huge soundstage, great body/harmonics/detail and provid... | |
| Wyred DACS Hi Bill,Thanks for the quick update! Looking forward to hearing more from your "serious evaluation". What is it about using windows that makes it far from optimum? If I were to get this, I'd be using it with my laptop which is Windows Vista Home P... | |
| Wyred DACS Thanks Bill,Looking forward to your report. Take care,No Regrets | |
| Wyred DACS Hi Bill,I was wondering if you have had an opportunity to audition the Tranquility Dac as of yet? You originally thought you might receive it back on the 18th. | |
| SONY XA5400ES - Preliminary Observations Metralla,How does the 5400 compare to your XA777ES? | |
| Wyred DACS Hi Paul,Thanks for the response. I am primarily a vinyl guy, however there are times when I am putzing around the house that I like to have music on in the background. That is when I toss on a CD or more often then not, Pandora Internet radio from... |
