| Best active speaker Along with ATC, I would suggest also auditioning the Adam powered speakers. They use a Class D amplifier for the woofer; not sure what the fully powered version uses for the other drivers. I was very impressed with them, particularly due to their ... | |
| Very slight "Hiss" What preamp are you using? | |
| Better sound from 6550 or kt88 tubes in Jadis amp? If you have the first version of the Defy 7, that version could only be used with 6550s (though I suppose you could try to rebias them for other tubes, but that would be difficult), unlike the mono amps like the JA 80 and 200. I understand some la... | |
| Are tone controls worth a second look ? Gotta agree with Joe (Trelja)'s post. Just look at the posts in the forums looking for warm cables, power cords that improve bass, tubes that have a lush midrange, etc. I don't have tone controls per se in my equipment, but the components, cables ... | |
| Wilson Sasha, SF Amati Anniversario, Thiel CS3.7 Well, it certainly seems like you'll be hearing the speakers with top-flight amplification that is well-matched to the speakers, and your room dimensions should be fine for the three. I think you'll get a good idea for the character of each of the... | |
| Wilson Sasha, SF Amati Anniversario, Thiel CS3.7 One thing I would be on the lookout for in an audition is what amplifiers are being used with the particular speakers. Unsound is absolutely correct that you get the speaker that sounds best to you, but if you have a low-powered tube amplifier and... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 related question.... Unless you can truly afford to take the loss and go (WAY, you forgot to add) over budget, accept that you'll be envious for a while, keep the Bryston and wait for a Playback Designs to show up on the used market at a decent price. Remember, there'... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers It's not something that can be determined with measurements! :^) It's more a sense that you know it's right when you taste it. | |
| Clearaudio Statement and Walker If you truly can afford either of these tables and are serious about buying one, the price of a plane ticket to LA to visit David W. and hear the Clearaudio is small change. Same for going to Audubon PA to hear Lloyd's setup, if you haven't heard ... | |
| Richard Gray regenerators.... You are supposed to leave them plugged in all the time. | |
| Someone familiar with older KSA Krell amps The original KSA 50 and 100 had fans in both their Mk I and II versions, as I recall--I owned a KSA 50 Mk II, one of the sweetest solid state amps around for a long time, and one I should have kept if only as a museum piece. Starting with the KSA ... | |
| Should I buy the Harmonix footers for $2000.00? Wendell, I think you misread the post, he's looking for others who took the plunge, he hasn't yet. Underdog, I bought a number of Harmonix footers in the past (less expensive ones, though), but only after I tried them and heard them in my system. ... | |
| Should I buy the Harmonix footers for $2000.00? It will likely change the sound of your speakers--every Harmonix product I have tried will do that. Whether it's for the better or not is up to your ears, so I would insist on a home trial. Considering YG Acoustics' claims to be the best and most ... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Gawdbless, I think that's just the fries they put in the cup, doesn't include the equal amount they then throw into the bag as a bonus! | |
| Cd transport isolation I found that my Forsell transport was extraordinarily affected by isolation devices, which I never could understand but I actually could hear clearly. In my experience, the best isolation I gave it involved using an air and silicone-filled bicycle... |
