| Danish loudspeakers: Dynaudio & System Audio Taters, ATC is not big time into marketing. As a result of that they don't appear on stereophile, TAS, RMAF, CES and the likes. In the UK, Europe and Japan they are extremely well respected, more than Wilson Audio btw. I would suggest instead of a... | |
| Danish loudspeakers: Dynaudio & System Audio Wim1983, are you saying all good speakers have same dynamic expression provided the amplification is equally good ? I am sorry that's not even close to my experience. Effortless dynamics and scale is one of the toughest act to get right. Very few ... | |
| Danish loudspeakers: Dynaudio & System Audio I have heard and owned many of the higher dynaudio models. Sure their tweeters are nice. When I listened to ATC though it was an ear opener. It remains one of the most natural sounding conventional speaker. You do not feel like dissecting bass and... | |
| Advice re the use of OTL amps vs others Adding a ZERO which is after all a transformer after the otl ? Does it not defeat the whole purpose and sonics of otl in the first place ? How much of the otl sound remains after that ? | |
| Kronos Sparta and TW Acoustic TT Kronos has a low noise floor but it also lacks some of that sparkle and excitement that accompanies a great analog system. Take a look at Avid Acutus | |
| Phono Interconnect Mogami is good. The best I have heard though is Stereolux Finewire c37 phono cable. It is made by a guy in Germany. This cable is widely used by some of the best tonearm makers like Thomas Schick, Durand and Reed for internal wiring. Supremely goo... | |
| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? With Dynaudio, you need to spend quite a sum for amplification to get them to sing. Pure class A solid state amps like the Plinius SA-103, Accuphase A-30/45, Esoteric A-03 would sound best with this speaker. Naim amplification also sounds very goo... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Hey, nice to see you guys are having fun :-D | |
| Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR Mmarshall, another very interesting option would be to get 2 Pass Labs F6 amplifiers and biamp the Tannoy. I have heard the F6 and it is seriously among the best solid state amplifiers I have heard and that comes closest to a top notch tube amp. I... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... An update: I played around with resisitive and capacitive loading on my phono stage. The ART9 seems to sound a bit clogged at 100 ohms loading. It sounds much more open and unrestricted at 450 ohms but I also had to add 1nf capacitance to make it ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I actually felt the complete break in took about 100 hours. Around that time I felt that the cartridge has disappeared completely without letting any discernible signature of its own left in the playback chain. No more did I feel I could describe ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Hey thanks again Oregonpapa. It feels great to see that something I learnt turned out to be helpful to fellow audiophiles too. In this hobby where everything is subjective, very few such components appear in the scene that has such universal appea... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... 1.8 grams | |
| Turntable recommendation for under 6k Fjn04, you are right. It is a modded Jelco with better wiring and such goodies. | |
| Turntable recommendation for under 6k Check out the Avid Volvere with a Jelco tonearm or Dr.Feickert Woodpecker with the Feickert 10" tonearm. Both are superb TTs with great dynamic range and musicality. |
