| Substitute for Waveterminal U24 Steev --Thanks for posting your comparison. I'm very surprised by your result. I would have expected the Cosecant to blow away the Trivista because of its direct USB input. I use a combination of X-DAC/X-10/DIY Power supply (together they are very... | |
| Substitute for Waveterminal U24 Steev - Please report back about how these components compare. I now use an M Audio Audiophile for USB to S/PDIF in to a MF XDAC/X10 combo (with a DIY powersupply). Together they are very similar to the Trivista. I'm thrilled with the sound, but a... | |
| Other sub amp for Gallo Ref3 secondary voice coil? I purchased a pair of plate subwoofer amps from Parts Express for about $125 each (part of a DIY subwoofer kit). I think the version I bought have about 200 wpc. The plate amps, of course, have a variable low pass filter, phase and level controls.... | |
| Anthony Gallo Ref 3 - Bass Solutions with Tube Amp I haven't tried it yet. I'll probably order the amps this week though. I'll post my feedback. | |
| Anthony Gallo Ref 3 - Bass Solutions with Tube Amp Here' another idea: Parts Express has DIY subwoofer kits. They have several amps. I'm planning to purchase the version with 200 watts. It has a level control, a variable low pass filter and continuous phase control. The crossover is a second order... | |
| I need help from GMA Europa owners Scotty,I've had great experiences with Audiopoints. Have them under my CD and amp, and made a component rack to Robert's specs with Audiopoints and brass rods. The problem with the Sistums for my speakers is stability. I have a kid and pets, and t... | |
| GMA Europa owners, what amps do you use? I use a Musical Fidelity A308 integrated. I haven't tried different amps with the Europas, but I love the MF, and I would guess it mates pretty well. It has plenty power. It also has very detailed, extended highs, which go very well the the Europa... | |

| I need help from GMA Europa owners Songwiter, as the guy who started this thread I feel a need to comment.What is your beef with Warren. His posts on this thread are fully appropriate. I raised the issue of stands and he commented about Starsound stands. He also mentioned some spea... | |
| I need help from GMA Europa owners Thanks for all the responses to my thread so far. Here's a couple of comments:Drubin: That's a good thought about the 1.6's simply being more incisive. I've grown accustomed to the sound Thiels, which are very detailed and extended, but a bit thin... | |
| I need help from GMA Europa owners Thanks for the responses so far. I put about 150 hours on them before I began listening. Roy says he put about 90 on them before sending them to me. If he really did, then there's over 200. Ewha, you may be right about the cables. But I have found... | |
| Sensitive Monitors Warren,I noted you have a pair of Star Sound's Caravelle's on order. I too have talked with Robert and am intrigued by these speakers. What do you know of them? Have you heard a pre production model? What makes you so excited about them?About your... | |
| interconnect suggests under 300 used. Try Virtual Dynamics. They have a range of products, and are not offering pretty big discounts off their web site. After upgrading to their Power 3 power cord, Audition interconnect and Reference cables, I am absolutely blown away by their quality... | |
| Biggest Improvement Speaker Cable Or Interconnects I recently upgraded from stock power cords and a kimber interconnect and speaker cables to Virtual Dynamics. Their products are a must listen IMO. The greatest improvement came from the power cord, the additional gain from the interconnect and cab... |
