| Connecting a DAC directly to an amp? I'm running my Lumin X1 direct to my mono blocks. Sounds way better than when I had a preamp in the chain.ozzy | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables I am going direct (no preamp) from my Lumin X1 to Carver M350 tube mono blocks. The speakers are Focal Sopra 2.ozzy | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables I was told that the cables do not need much time (a couple hours) to sound there best by the designer. But I did play them for about a week adding many hours before making a decision.I am using tube amps, so that in itself could have limited the F... | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps And, by the way. Since you could sell your preamp, then get Critical Mass 1.0 footers for under the Lumin X1. I also have them under my Carver amps and Niagara 7000 power conditioner.You will be amazed what they do for the image, frequency extensi... | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps chungjh,Carver claims that his design makes the tubes run cooler and the tubes should last longer. I think his claim is something like 20 years. But, that is hard to believe.Bob Carver has always been easy to contact, heck he even flew to my house... | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps I own the Lumin X1, fantastic unit!I also owned a Pass Labs X350.5 and also demoed the X350.8.In the end, I preferred the Carver M350 tube Mono Blocks. To me, it is much more musical, open and with greater dynamics. Hard to believe a tube amp can ... | |

I installed them fairly easy on my speakers.After listening to them for several days. In my opinion, these cables ... | |
| Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable? I'm going to try using 12 ga,18, 24, 30 gauge .9999 solid soft annealed silver wire. Each wire will be sleeved through individual PTEF tubing and combined at the speaker/amp terminals.I may even try them bare with no connectors.ozzy | |

| Pairing of different JL Audio Subwoofers Check out my thread about the subject.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/is-there-anyway-to-convert-a-jl-sub-to-connect-to-main-speake...ozzy | |
| Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable? So, I am wonderin about using both a 12 gauge wire and a smaller gauge (perhaps 24 gauge) wire each sleeved in its own teflon tube but banded together for each + and - terminal.This way, there would be a smaller wire for the skin affect for the h... | |
| Footers Under Power Conditioners? lowrider57,Thanks for the link. It is odd though that they suggest to place them under the components feet.ozzy | |
| Footers Under Power Conditioners? aj523,The 5000 units are great, but if you have a chance to place some of the Critical Mass footers underneath it, you will buy them.ozzy | |
| Footers Under Power Conditioners? lowrider57,I agree with you. What are the EVP's?ozzy | |
| Footers Under Power Conditioners? aubreybobb,To put the Critical Mass break in in perspective... I added one set under my Carver tube mono blocks. And then about a month later I added another set under the second mono block. When I added the second set I noticed that the soundsta... |
