| Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ? Jamesw20,I'm just putting in a good word for a good product. Bizzy Bee doesn't spend money on advertizing. They mainly rely on word of mouth and satisfied customers who share their thoughts and experience in forums like this.So my post may read li... | |
| Tube Audio Design TAD-803 Single Driver Speaker My first experience with the Aural Ersatz TAD-803 single-driver speaker came during a listening session where I was reviewing a well-known brand-name speaker. To my ears the speaker had many strengths but sometimes it seemed just a little coarse a... | |
| Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ? I recently came across a pair of real gems. They are the Aural Ersatz TAD-803 speakers from Bizzy Bee Audio, with Paul G's "single-driver, no-load tweeter mod." Actually I got them as part of the TAD-60 amplifier deal and had intended to sell them... | |
| Using integrated as headphne amp: tape in or aux? It could be that the tape-in on the Revox has an extra gain stage to amplify the low output of tape heads in tape decks without a preamp output. Going through an extra gain stage should make the sound worse (though much louder). So I'd probably us... | |
| Expectations low, listening pleasure high. No, now that I've gotten my system sounding amazingly close to the live experience, I'm pretty much amazed that it can replicate the character of real instruments so convincingly.In fact, normally when I go to a live concert I'm disappointed in th... | |
| I hope break in is true Personally, in my experience, I believe the break-in myth is highly overrated. Maybe folks just get used to the sound of new pieces after a hundred hours or so, but my general experience has been that if it sounds poor out of the box it may not ch... | |
| Amp s to drive JM Lab Diva Utopia Be Aball, the 9SE's are quite smooth and they were just released so there is no press or reviews available on that model as yet. But thanks for your opinion and concern. The 9SEs, so far, have no weaknesses that I can detect. They are quite a bit bet... | |
| Amp s to drive JM Lab Diva Utopia Be If you want some serious dynamics, super bass control and articulation, clarity, and musicality, the new NuForce Reference 9SE's are going to be seriously difficult to match, let alone beat. Given the high quality of your front end and speakers, y... | |
| Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used Tvad, yes, (I guess I was thinking of the TAD-150 Signature preamp). The upgrade with the Auricaps and the filter caps is the model I was referring to. I don't think there is a TAD-60 "Signature," just this upgraded version. And I would definitely... | |
| Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used TAD-60 Signature... This is a great amp with many user-friendly adustments and features that allow you to tailor the sound to your power requirements and taste. It can use EL-34s, 6550s, or KT-88s and can be switched for triode or ultra-linear ope... | |
| Listening at very low volume Regarding headphones, the binaural listening experience is definitely different than listening to speakers. This is because the left ear hears only the left channel information and the right channel hears only right channel information. There is n... | |
| Audiopax and Merlin I heard the Audiopax amps sound fantastic at T.H.E. Show this year, but I believe they are only rated to 30 watts per channel. Do you think you'll need more than 30 watts with the Merlins? I think the Audiopax speakers they were powering were rate... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? After long love affairs with Maggies, Acoustats, and the InnerSound Eros electrostatic hybrid, I ended up going to the VMPS RM30. To me it represents terrific bang for the buck.The three planar midrange drivers span the range from about 250Hz to 1... | |
| High Efficiency System- Noise Floor Reality Check? Whart, if you want to get the lowest hum possible from your system there is a simple device made by Granite Audio called the "Ground Zero" that may banish or seriously diminish the hum. I'd almost think it would be a must for a high-efficiency set... | |
| Volume problems I just read a SoundStage review that says that on the Celeste i-5, input A4 is a HT bypass and has no volume control -- also that it is not marked as such so users need to be careful... So if you're using A4 you really have no volume control and n... |
