| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? Doug - I hopeful the 4 ohm load of the C4's won't be a problem for the bridged SA-102's (as suggested in the earlier posts from Audiofeil & Dave b). However, if bridged SA-102's don't cut the mustard with my C4's, your suggestion of the Pass 2... | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? Bill & Dave - Audiogoner Jadem6, owner of Jade Cables reviewed and still uses this combo with his Dunlavy IV/a's with good success. Jade & I also both use the Aesthetix Calypso. The C4's are rated @ 4 ohms nominal / 3.3 ohms minimum / 88dB... | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? Well, I went over my budget and have cut a deal for a second Plinius SA-102 to run as a bridged monoblock with my current SA-102 amp. I'm cautiously optimistic that going from one amp @ 125WPC to two bridged monoblocks @ 400WPC in 8 ohms will help... | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? The SA-102 owners manual states input impedance @ 47K ohms. I'm using single ended cables... am I okay? | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? I'm clueless when it comes to impedance matching... I know... pretty pathetic :( . I assumed there was no mismatch at the time I went with this combo based upon this older link... http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1196031341&re... | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? To all: Thanks for your input / advice. I was thrilled to wake up to so much feedback on my question.Albert - You have instant credibility in my book and you have been quite helpful to me in the past when I've asked your advice. Your suggestion of... | |
| Rolled some 12ax7's recently... I've found the inexpensive new production / re-issue tubes to be very dissapointing (Mullard & Sovtek). As far as NOS 12AX7's go, Mullard CV4004's are more lively, but less neutral than the mega expensive Mullard 10M gold pins, however, I stil... | |
| Do you leave CD players with tube outputs on? The tubes in my Audio Aero Capitol only lasted 2 years because I left it in standby 24/7. Jodi from AA distributor, Globe Audio, recommended I turn the unit off when not in use to extend the life of the tubes. | |
| b&k amps +dynaudio c2 speakers I drove C2's and now C4's with a 125WPC Plinius SA-102. You will be fine with your B&K monos. | |
| 2k budget for Amp Used amps in your budget I would consider:- Plinius SA-100- Pass Labs X-150- Older Jeff Rowland amps - Audio Research 100.2I'm still skeptical of the class D amps, but admittedly, I have no first hand experience with them. | |
| dynaudio s5 vs c1 ? Not aware of Dynaudio having a model S5(?)... but having owned the C2, I agree that they are very transparent, but benefit from having a subwoofer to fill out the low end and add fullness to the overall sound. The C4 on the other hand needs no sub... | |
| Blue Collar Cables? The great debate I agree with Riley804.... spot on. | |
| Review: Jade Audio Pure Solid Gold Interconnect I'd embarrass myself trying to write a legitimate review.... but I am a satisfied owner of two pairs of JD's hybrid interconnects. | |
| Tube pre to mate with a Simaudio amp and Dynaudio Niravp... glad you are enjoying your new Calypso with your Dyns. If you have not already done so, I highly recommend you get some good 12AX7 NOS tubes. Mullard CV 4004's are a good choice and can be had for approx. $250 per pair. Same goes for NOS... | |
