| System too harsh Help Sansui80 - I am not recommending you not do the mods. I am only suggesting you speak with Stephen about this issue and only proceed if you are satisfied with his explanation. All of my dealings (general questions, work done on my amp and CDP) with... | |
| System too harsh Help Sansui80 - I have a Ref 2.2 (not Linear, but original) on which QFS did the "factory" upgrade. I am very pleased with the improvements - improved mid-range, smoother, more detailed yet less harsh. However, I've been told that QFS is no longer the ... | |
| If money is not a problem Not sure I would ever be satified with only one pair of speakers, as there may likely not ever be one perfect design for all music. So, I'd have several rooms dedicated to audio, each one fitted with an optimally tweaked system for specific music:... | |
| Jazz artists for late starter. Can't go wrong with Art Pepper + 11.Also Cannonball Adderly "Something Else". | |
| Reasonably Priced PreAmp without Phono ? Brand new, tubed, great peamp is the Malpetree Audio 2A SE Linestage: octal pin based; separate power supply; point-to-point wiring; 3 outputs, all customizable gain. I love mine. Extended, organic, palpable. http://www.affordableaudio.org/Mapletr... | |
| Can you hook up a sub to a Consonance A120? That was a great integrated for me if I didn't push the volume too much. I recall that it seemed to have less power than rated. Never measured it, but it just seemed that way. But it sounds like for your application it fits very well. It sounded g... | |
| Thoughts on new amp It is not necessarily just your amp but also likely your preamp. Do you know how much gain it has? Most preamps have way too much gain AFAIK. That's why I had mine built with only 10dB of gain, and actually could have gone as low as 6dB but at the... | |
| Can you hook up a sub to a Consonance A120? Sure! I did when I had one. It has a pair of line-level outputs. Nice amp. What speakers and sub do you have? | |
| Opera Consonance Linear 2.2 or Raysonic 128? I have the Ref 2.2 and liked it in stock form (6H30 tube). But I had it modified ("factory mod") by a former Consonance dealer and now I LOVE it! He changed output caps to 2.2 450 volt Auricaps, replaced output diode, re-wired power supply for vol... | |
| Valid Efficiency Test? Doh! That's true. I forgot about the insertion loss. Filters are on input to amp (RCA). This is not the way to go about doing it. Never mind. Dumb idea. Thanks guys. | |
| Bass issues,,,,will new speaker help? I have the same issue. My dip improved (narrowed the troubled band width and decreased the magnitude of depth a a little) when I added a subwoofer, though still bothersome. It improved again (decreased dip magnitude a little more) when I added pas... | |
