| 845 SET? deHavilland / Art Audio/et..al. Hi Pubul57,Well, I'm probably the last person who should try to get technical but here goes: From all that I've read, I've come to think of output transformers sort of like window glass. We want windows so we can enjoy a view. The cleaner and high... | |
| How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help Hi Leoturetsky,I wish I could give you something more helpful, but they're not just in airplanes anymore.http://www.motionbox.com/video/player/d39fd4b81c5a | |
| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? "Another change in policy is that factory repair takes precedence over production -"Hi Simon,I just had to chirp in and applaud that decision. I've been open to an amplifier upgrade for a little while now, and one class D amplifier just became int... | |
| Should I get the Art Audio Jota Hi Darkmoebius,Right or wrong, I've always thought that the synergy between high end components was atleast as important as their respective quality. For the time being, I want to hold on to the 17LS and the Minis so I'm going to be more opened mi... | |
| Should I get the Art Audio Jota Darkmoebius, Thanks for the clarification; your point is well stated. This was unexpected - I thought most of the posts would concern pairing a single ended amp with the Minis. | |
| Experts: Why is preamp important? "and least understood- control the interconnect cable between amp and preamp to minimize the effect of the cable. Most sources cannot do this BTW."I know this isn't to topic but Atmasphere's #4 purpose is so intriguing that, like Don_s, I would ap... | |
| Should I get the Art Audio Jota "By the way, the CJ 17 and 11 are both a bit "fuzzy" sounding, kind of like looking outside through a window screen. The AA would be more like the window without the screen."Hi Tomryan,That was pretty much my thinking, and while I've only listened... | |
| Should I get the Art Audio Jota OK, maybe I'm thinking wrong. I've been considering the 17LS a strength in my system and my intention was to maximize it's virtues with an amplifier upgrade. I wasn't aware that there were preamp designs specific to single ended amps. | |
| "Best" Integrated Amp for JMLab Micro Utopia BE There is a Viva Solista integrated for sale on Audiogon right now for a good price. This is speculation since I haven't heard them together, but I'm very familiar with each of them and I would expect the combo to be amazing. As an aside, I have no... | |
| Should I match powercords Thank you everybody. My system is already sounding a little soft so I'm sure you're right Blindjim, another VX would be too much. Thanks for the heads-up on the Dominus Ferrox Tvad, I'll look into them.Regards | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century What's up! Have we all forgotten Tiny Tim? Does anybody think Sinatra, Caruso, Dylan or any of the above mentioned could have made "Tip Toe Through the Tulips" a smash hit? OK, maybe Dylan. | |
| Best jazz or blues female vocalist ever Nina Simone - BluesDinah Washington - JazzEnjoy | |
| Trumpet cds like Chinatown Man, there's a lot of good trumpet music here! Thanks you guys, I'd never have found some of this stuff without your help. | |
| Trumpet cds like Chinatown Hi Guys,Thank you. I'll check out all of your suggestions. Dcstep, I forgot about the "Glory" soundtrack, thanks for reminding me. Emiser, I think I know what you mean about Botti - nice sound, but it's all right there, it kind of lacks depth so I... | |
| Should I get the Art Audio Jota Thank you for your posts everyone. Does anyone else feel like Misskuma - that the cj/AA pairing doesn't work? |
