| CES is almost upon us. I'll be there too. No hotel reservations yet. Looking forward to it. Last year was a blast! | |
| Shure V15 mk5 vs Dynavector 10x5 I think I meant to say the most recent Shure cartridge: the V15Mxr. I don't know how it differs from the v5. | |
| Cary Amps Using EL-34's It appears that both the Rocket 88 and the SLM-100, while sold stock with 6550's, can accomodate EL-34's. I've just purchased an SLM-100, which will provide about 120w in push-pull and 60w in triode mode using EL-34's, per communication with Cary.... | |
| GMA Europas-first impressions Roy - how efficient are the Europas? Would they work with an SET amp of few watts: 4, 6, or 8? Thought it might make a nice combination with a Darred SET for a not-too-expensive system.Thanks, Peter | |
| What after Aleph 3, need more juice? Unfortunately, you cannot bridge the Aleph 3's (per info from Pass Labs). | |
| Recommendations for Balanced Interconnect... Well, I have a pair of Musiclink Plus MM's and a pair of XLO Signature 2's coming. I'll try them out with my current setup, and when I get the Aesthetix, and provide some feedback here. Thanks all for your suggestions. | |
| warm amp ss around 650 I've got the Odyssee Stratos dual mono, and I find it relatively warm for a SS amp, without quite good detail. The stereo version, I've heard, is quite good too. It may well be worth trying to extend your budget by $100 or $150 to get the stereo v... | |
| Use of Digital Amps: Need serious help LG,I just want to share my understanding of how digital amps work - derived from the PS Audio page for the HCA-2 (a Class D digital "switching amp"). In your entry, you note that:"Apparently all digital amps take the analog signal that you send it... | |
| Recommendations for Balanced Interconnect... Gunbei - yes, I did run a number of amps with the Proac 2.5's, including both Alephs, an ARC VT100 mark ii, the Bruce Moore. Among those, I like the Bruce Moore slightly more (!) over the ARC, and both more than the Alephs (which had a nice smooth... | |
| Recommendations for Balanced Interconnect... I'd like to try the Transparent cables, but I could use a bit more advise! There are so many versions out there... and my price limit remains around $300. As for the Musiclink Super, there is the original, the XL version, and now the MM version. T... | |
| Amp for Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Wow! That wasn't my experience with the Lamms! | |
| Amp for Wilson Watt Puppy 7 At CES this January, I heard them with the Lam 18wpc single ended ML2 amp, as well as the ML1, and I thought the ML2-System 7 combination both surrounded terrific and better than the ML1. IMHO - I would prefer the ML2. I thought it also sounded be... | |
| ideas on all the mods offered on jolida amps To be honest, I had mine modded into a 302b/305b convertable, so it could run all three types of tubes (6550, KT88, EL34). I got a new volume control, cardas wiring, new caps, soft diodes... the upgrade didn't do as much as I'd hoped. I still foun... | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers Well... I think I got it right from Innersound... If anyone can clear this up, please do. Thanks. | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers By the way, Innersound told me that their ESL amp is indeed a "switching" amp. That's why it runs so cool. How does this relate to switching amp's generally poor capability to deal with wide impedence ranges? Clearly the ESL handles this kind of v... |
