| Three wheel drive for the hw19 With this suspension you may get a bit more rubber than air, it may not be fully optimal. Yet I enjoy the advantage. Now I can tune everything based on getting the spirit level 100 percent using my pump. A new experience. First impression, things ... | |
| Three wheel drive for the hw19 Water - exactly level, i mean. sorry. My Norwegian took over(i actually did fill the tubes with water once, but air sounds better). | |
| Three wheel drive for the hw19 Exact water = player stands totally horizontal. Squash balls - have tried, but this sounds better. Not much hassle with the pump, in my case. | |
| Krell primer? I own a Fpb600 that has served me very well, not a single problem for almost ten years. Before that I had KAV series amps, but they were nowhere near the 600. Subjectively I even wonder if it sounds better over time (but this may be due to various... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, I heard the Dynaudio Consequence Ultimate at a demo in Oslo recently, powered by Macintosh monoblocs, no less than 3 huge boxes behind each speaker. Since it was an amp setup in the extreme price range I didn't investigate further. Sure, the CU's ... | |

| Best recording Based on my experience with a Cowon D2 and Creative 24/96 external laptop card as well as the Korg mr1, the Korg is a big step up. Even downsampled with Audiogate from dsd to pcm 24/96, the Korg files sounded better than files recorded with Creati... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, In the last months, I have been comparing apples and oranges - a small OTL amp on headphones and desktop speakers, and my main Krell/Dynaudio Consequence system. So this is really "micro" versus "macro". I use a Korg MR-1 recorder to record LPs on... | |
| Best recording Lp's not created equal - very much agree! But the better the playback and recording chain, the larger the proportion that sound good or at least acceptable. There is no single best way to record. This is much a matter of subjective taste, context ... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Haven't tried them. Can only report back from a Quiksilver monobloc 2 x 60 amp solution, so far. They did not make it, compared to the krell 600, driving the Dynaudio Consequence. Suspect i would need 400 tube watts or more for these speakers. | |
| Best recording VHS hi fi - haven't tried, but my guess is, it would sound poor compared to the Korg. I have tried several DAT recorders. Does anyone have actual experience? | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Borrowed a pair of Quicksilver 2 x 60 watt p-pull monoblocs from a friend. Didn't make it. Not surprising. These are good amps and didn't sound so openly "strained" - but clearly, they didn't grab the speakers in the full way that the s-state does... | |
| Best recording My vinyl recordings like Grateful Dead Terrapin station sound marvellous through DSD and the Jade otl headphone amp, that also drives my small active pc sony srs z500 speakers. Never got this terrapin / therapy feeling so close before. Jade is ver... | |
| Headphone amp advice I am very satisfied with my new headphone amp Audiotailor Jade. Great sound. It can drive headphones excellently, and even drive small active speakers to new heights. See Jade thread at headfi: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/review-audiotailor-j... | |
