| 2 Channel Subwoofer connection With my setup you definitely need active (powered) subs. The Gallo subs I use automatically go to standby when no signal is present. They are switchable for full on, full off, or signal switched on/off. | |
| I keed your help??, re my whole system I have the JLTI phono stage and it is excellent if a bit laid back. It certainly does not sound solid state in the least. I swap between the JLTI and the built in tube stage in my VAC Renaissance preamp. Both have their own personalities and at... | |
| 2 Channel Subwoofer connection Here's an alternative option if you can use two subs and your main speakers allow both spade and banana connections. In my winter system, I use a pair of Gallo TR1D subs. The subs have a speaker level input. I run my main speakers full range wi... | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps I listened to the o/96's for several hours at my local dealer. Amplification was a Leben CS 300x which is an integrated of 15W per channel (and it totally kicks #*# in dynamics) the sound was pure magic. The Leben is under 4000.00 and saves you ... | |
| Lesser known 2 way bookshelf Speakers from the 80's I really liked the Cizak and Signet speakers of that era. However, the ones I purchased and still enjoy are the Triad System 3. They have very unique design and engineering with the stepped woofer to tweeter alignment and a grille engineered to ... | |
| Rega/Totem combo wow! Hi Fi Choice (UK) featured a six integrated amp shoot out and the Rega Elex R won. The Naim Nait 5si finished second. The speakers used in the test were ATC SCM40 wired with Nordost Frey cables. All amps used Valhalla 2 power cables with a Nord... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener If your preamp outs are tied together in order to provide two sets of jacks instead of just one set, you may create a problem with a Y connector. I believe this can cause the output jacks to the main speaker amplifier to be in mono, so in essence... | |
| Speaker Cable Suggestions Lots of suggestions but none claim to own 802's. I currently have my N802's set up. I use DH Labs Silversonic Q10 biwire cables. They are excellent with both of my systems and multiple different amp configurations. Highly recommended and price... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp There's a VAC 100 with the Phi upgrade currently listed for a measley 1750.00. Ditch the ARC blowup special and purchase a quality piece that is built to last and easy to bias. I would also suggest a different preamp but at least the ARC preamp ... | |
| Need help ... The Oppo is fine choice for background music or movies, nothing more. With it as your source the rest of your equipment is way overkill. | |
| Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please My winter system is a BAT VK55 with ESP speakers. I change speakers and amp for summer use. Summer is W4S ST500 with Nautilus 802's. The sound is different for sure but I really enjoy both systems but for different reasons. With the N802's the... | |
| Help: Accuphase XLR pin 3 hot into XLR pin 2 hot? (no unbalanced avail) Another option which I performed on my Sony CD player is to unsolder the wires into the XLR plug and swap the wires to match the new standard format of pin 2 hot. | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII I wouldn't even think twice. The VAC for sure. Made in the USA, superb build quality, superb sonics, what more could you ask for. | |
| Amp current - how much high current to go for I just looked at the website for your speaker and it is specified as 88db and an 8 ohm load which the manufacturer states to be an "easy load that will work well with a variety of tubed and solid state amps". Your quest for a high current amp is ... | |
| B&W Speaker Score! Suggestions: See how the bass sounds with the speaker cables attached to only the lower bass terminals taking the highs out of the equation. Can you use your bi wire cables both connected to the lower terminals and then use a banana terminated ju... |
