| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R Rich (Rar1), thanks for your comments on the different cabinets. I will talk to Louis about the different options. Also, I will certainly use a tube amp: After getting the EL34 based Jolida about a year ago there is no way back to solid state. For... | |
| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R Joey, what 300b amp are you getting for your single driver speakers? I would be very interested in hearing more about your experience once everything is broken in.Best wishes and enjoy!Rene | |
| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R Gmood, thanks for your suggestions of the Adire Rava subs. I will certainly look into that. If I would go with the Omega Super 3 I would surely add one or even two of these subs. For know I would be using the EL34 based Jolida as the main amp to d... | |
| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R Gmood1, one more question: What sub you are using with your Omega speakers? I saw that Omega recommends the CSS CLARUS subs. The smaller model can be had for a fairly small amount: Clarus subHas anyone have experience with the Clarus sub in combi... | |
| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R Wow, thanks for all the feedback and comments to my small question. Rar1, thanks for your detailed comments on the room placement of your Omega Super 3. This really helps me out quite a bit. Since you have the Omega’s in the narrow cabinet: Have y... | |
| Mission 761i Speakers The Mission 761i were the previous model to the Mission 731i speakers. I heard them first in 1992, when they were being replaced by the 731 together with the rest of the Mission line up. I fell in love with Missions top of the line monitors at the... | |
| whom do i get to fix a ground loop hum? Sorry for the incomplete information earlier: From the Calrad manual: "Although the CALRAD 75-504 can actually meet the basic frequency response requirements ..., the relection coefficient ... is not low enough at the frequency extremes to prevent... | |
| whom do i get to fix a ground loop hum? You can get a CALRAD isolation transformer (CALRAD part 75-5040) for less than $6 (not $60 !!!), works like a charm and is used by several people on Agon and Asylum. For some reason all previous threads where it has been recommended have been remo... | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 Ok, here's a short correction to what I said earlier. I lied. The Mission 751s I have are 89dB and 6Ohm (not as wrongly stated before 88db, 4Ohm). Still I found them fairly difficult to drive with a Linn LK 85 and Rega Mira I had previously. The J... | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 Another vote for the Jolida 302b. I would prefer the EL34 based 302b against the 502b. For your Totem Monitors the slightly fuller bass won't be a problem. I am driving some 88dB, 4Ohm Mission monitors, which are fairly power hungry, without probl... | |
| Can we list the better labels? Chesky? Telarc? "Enya Records" (Germany?) has great music (Rabih Abou Khalil) and great recordings. "In & Out Records" has some great recordings/music as well (Lester Bowie: The fire this time). Harmonia Mundi, Reference Recordings etc. are good as well. Prob... | |
| Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim) Dislike it - I certainly wood prefer no wood trim on an amplifier or CD player. I am very particular about matching wood (kind, color) in our living area. We already use wooden boards to support the amp/CDP: any additional wood trim would probably... | |
| Fully Modded Origin Live OL1 or Stock Rega RB-600? Take a look at the recent 6moons review:OL Silver reviewLooked very interesting, in particular since the reviewer and other listeners (Terry Cain etc.) thought that the OL1 sounded better in some systems than the Origin Live Silver.Did anyone here... | |
| Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used? Hi Hifi, sorry for the little information I provided earlier:The spreadsheet calculates the room modes (=standing waves) for a rectangular (cuboid) listening room. It can tell you, whether there are "nulls" or "peaks" at your seating position or a... | |
| Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000? Nick, I was looking for exactly the same sound as you do. All o the other players I tried gave up some of the warmth and musicality of the Rega for detail and better soundstaging. The AA prima has a very similar top end to the Rega, with a little ... |
