| Schiit Freya+(Plus) I recently purchased a B-stock Freya + preamp from Schiit as I wanted a balanced preamp to work in a second system. Right now, I have it connected in my primary system in place of my Audio Research LS7 tube line stage. The Freya + came with JJ 6SN... | |
| Amp for LS50 I wholeheartedly agree with tcatch on his position of using high quality amplification with the KEF LS50’s. Since these excellent speakers have a relatively low cost barrier, many people have typically paired them with mediocre amps and come away ... | |
| Best amp for KEF LS50 I just completed a Pass DIY amplifier project based on using NOS Sony 2SK82 and 2SJ28 VFETs as a complimentary pair in a push-pull Class A amp (https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/276711-sony-vfet-amplifier-2-a.html?). Even though this amp i... | |
| KEF Ls50 wireless vs passive I compared the LS50 Wireless to the passive LS50 speakers. Even though the bass on the Wireless model goes down to a solid 50Hz or lower depending on room setup, I actually preferred the passive speakers. To my ears, the sound of the LS50 Wireless... | |
| Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD? It takes having the Playstation 1 to be turned on for about two days. You don't necessarily have to play CDs. The sound just seems to open up after a full day on. | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? You'll be surprised at how good the RCA interconnects made from the Wood's Patio cord from Walmart will sound. I made my first pair as described in Jeff Day's Six Moons article. The Switchcraft 3502A RCA connectors are very good and the Switchcraf... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? Not sure about splitting the crossover so you can run two amps driving the Klipsch Forte's. I'm perfectly fine with using one amp. A good preamp will provide the needed gain to bring the Playstation's low output to an acceptable line level, so tha... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? You'd be surprised with what some modifications and tweaks to your Hlly T-amp, Playstation 1 and Klipsch Forte II's would do. I have replaced the caps in my Forte II's crossovers, replaced the internal wiring, and the stock Phenolic tweeter diaphr... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? I am posting here for those who browse this thread. I recently purchased a mint condition Audio Research LS7 linestage to use with my modified Playstation 1. Even though it sold as an "entry-level" all tube linestage in ARC's line-up back in 1995-... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? I've heard good things about the Yaqin tube buffer. For the Playstation, a tube linestage further improves the sound quality. The Playstation's output is around 1 to 1.5V, so some gain tremendously improves the overall sound quality. | |
| Alternatives to Klipsch Forte II I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Klipsch Quartet. Made in the same style as the Forte II and Chorus II, but with a smaller woofer and cabinet. My listening room sounds like it's about the same size as yours, and my Forte IIs sound awesome. I... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? I haven't checked this thread in a while.DaffyD54, thanks for the good word. I'm glad you're pleased with the mods. As the player settles in, you'll be amazed at what details and dynamic slam you hear.Bottleflow, I use the Walmart White Lightning ... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? Thanks Tholt. Email me for more info on mods. | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? The only adapters I know of convert a three-prong IEC to a two-prong C7 (or "Figure 8") connector, and not the other way around. You need a power cord that has the two-prong connector on the component end of the cable. If you don't mind using the ... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? Pescolar,An upgrade from the stock power cord to the PS Audio Xstream Power Punch C7 is worth the $50 investment. The result is better dynamic range, a punchier and better defined bass and lower noise floor. An even better power cord is the Furute... |
