| Upcoming Move - Questions Ethernet Cable, Modem/Router, Ethernet Run & Electrical The Audiogon crew has been a great help with all the suggestions. I was able to touch base with the electrician first thing this morning and now have him running two dedicated lines vs one. Great timing with the suggestions by @soix & @hbarr... | |
| Upcoming Move - Questions Ethernet Cable, Modem/Router, Ethernet Run & Electrical @soix @hbarrel - This really does help me think the issue through and appreciate the links. I had not thought about two dedicated lines - one for digital and one for analog but now would be the time to do this! | |
| Upcoming Move - Questions Ethernet Cable, Modem/Router, Ethernet Run & Electrical @upshift This is a great suggestion to look into optical. I briefly thought this may be an option but was not sure where to start.. Many thanks... I will check into it further. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @fthompson251 Thanks for the quick response re the heat generation! I had the impedance question on my list and will ask Dan at Modwright .... it was a good reminder. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! It appears Terry is no longer monitoring this thread but I wanted to ask two questions of the Coda "crew" that have responded to various posts. I see references that this amp doesn't run very hot. I have a First Watt F8 and was curious as to if ... | |
| Just got a new power amp Go ahead and try out a pair of XLR's and see what you think. Used cable or Crutchfield will allow for returns so I would not hesitate to go that route | |
| Tannoy or Volti I can't speak for the Tannoy but certainly can for the Volti. I see @charles007100 visited a local Volti owner and had a great experience, I am driving my Volti Razz with a First Watt F8 and have the Modwright LS99. tube preamp as part of the l... | |
| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers This really has been a fascinating thread - besides knowledge gained from the OP's original question on speaker matching I was exposed a bit more to what AI possibly can/or shouldn't do and how we as purchasers should always to consider the source... | |
| Considering a New Tube Pre-amp As previously pointed out by @armstrod the Modwright preamp is one you should definitely look at. I started with the LS100 and moved up the the LS 99 Balanced tube preamp. Dan is one of the best in this business when it comes to quality and cust... | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? @kim108 your input & thumbs up on Odyssey is duly noted! Thanks... Interesting you mention Advance Paris as I did run across one of their used X-A160 power amps. I am not at all familiar with Advance Paris as a brand so will do a deeper dive... | |
| Favorite Newly Discovered Female Vocalist Many thanks to @jfrmusic for this awesome thread. BTW you are spot on with your Katie Melua comments. About 5 years ago as I was dipping my toe (ear and credit card ) back into audio I was captivated and fell in love listening to female vocalis... | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? I am appreciative of all the thoughtful suggestions and continuing to gain additional knowledge that helps narrow down my decision - definitely leaning to trying the Class D route at this point. There are some solid options out there in my price ... | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? @kennyc @blackbag20 Great suggestion. I had not heard of Odyssey audio prior to your post. Just checked them out and certainly they check a number of boxes. Appreciate you steering me in their direction. @allenf1963 I know you were joking a... | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? Solid input all around. @yyzsantabarbara @ditusa - appreciate you reminding me of Schitt as I didn't think to consider them which is an oversight as I love the Yggy LIM DAC. I will check out the Wotan & Tyr! @allenf1963 - my "interim" system... |
