| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Not joking, but of course system matching is key as Anthony. Love Pass gear, and heard the B1 at RMAF and it was very impressive. But so was the Bent TAP-x and I prefer the Lightspeed in my system since it is ideally suited for a passive with no i... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Anthony, let us know your impressions when you hear The Truth preamp. | |
| Emotiva vs. some bigger boys Can any Odyssey owners confirm whether there are any reliability issues with their amps? I never heard that before and it is too easy to create the wrong impression about a product. | |
| Cary 805s or Atma Sphere M60s? Agree with Mechans on autoformers, to some extent it defeats of the purpose of OTL, though they we still be excellent amps, but not the same with as without. | |
| To all tube lovers....... It isn't just a matter of sensitivity, but impedance swings; which are less than ideal for tube amps - take something like Wilson or Thiel which might be quite sensitive, but their low impedances in the bass region make for a disappointing match w... | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please 03-07-10: Pubul57Well, I still own the Music Reference RM9 Special Edition, I still love it, and I don't think I will ever sell it. After a few years, I starting missing my RM10 MKIIs, and bought them again this week - if 35 watts is enough power,... | |
| Best Integrated Amp, Price no obstacle? Hows the the integrated look from the perspective on June 2010? What are the top choices today, uncluding used gear from an earlier vintage ifthey have not been bettered? | |
| Good amps for Thiel CS 3.7 speakers? I agree an all Ayre system would be hard to beat and the V1 certainly is able to deliver alot of current which it seems the 3.7 absolutely needs given it low impedance swings in the bass region. | |
| Good amps for Thiel CS 3.7 speakers? All cables are tone controls, for good or bad - but that is another subject.... | |
| Good amps for Thiel CS 3.7 speakers? Can you find out what amps Theil has used at audio shows? That is usually a good start. An SS amp you might want to investigate for giving alot of high quality watts at a good price is the Odyssey amps, they have been well reviewed and are based o... | |
| ARC versus Joule Electra Let us know what you decide. Either way they are both excellent preamps, but as you might suspect different and only you can decide which type of sound you prefer, I'm sure you could resell either one easily if one is not your cup of tea. | |
| Opinions please on a starter audiophile system? The best electronics I have heard for the money and competitive with most anything I have heard is the combination of the Lightspeed Attenuator ($450) with the Music Reference RM10 MKII ($1,950). If the 35 watts is enough to drive a speaker you li... | |
| Is Accuphase E-560 a good match for Thiel CS 3.7? Yes, it is not that the E-560 won't sound very good with the Thiels, it will and as a Class A amp it will sound like more watts than a similar Class A/B wattage rating, this is certainly true with the Pass Class A gear, but it is not an endgame am... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? With quality products like Supratek and Lightspeed coming from Australia, there may be a movement afoot from "flat earthers" to the "down unders". | |
| Is Accuphase E-560 a good match for Thiel CS 3.7? Great amp, great speaker, bad match IMHO, that is just not the right amount of power for the 3.7, as Mmike84 says, I would think you need 100w minimum, and if you want Class A, that is going to cost $$$$. |
