| Speaker help Hop a flight to Newark Liberty in NJ via Chicago O'Hare (NY Shuttle with multiple flights during the day) and arrange with Brian of Charney Audio to pick you up and demo his speakers. Wonderful engaging sound that envelops the listener and draws y... | |
| Recommendations on stuff to look at for upgrading a 300B SET amp +1 on the ANK Interstage Monos! Also agree with looking for a higher efficient speaker to match a lower watt 300b. Check these horns out:http://charneyaudio.com/ | |
| Can we start a thread for folks who run a SET amp with a subwoofer or two? Years ago I had a pair of Omega Alnico 8 XRS with a pair of Omega Deep hemp subs. My amp was a highly modified 8w 300b Antique Sound Labs AQ1005 and ANK M3 preamp. I wired the subs using a second pair of speaker cables for the amp to the speaker i... | |
| If you want to get the best of your transport, try this. Used a Svelt shelf with great results under my 47 Labs Flatfish now using one under my Sparkler S503 player with the same positive improvements.chris | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers I got the sensitivity number from the Charney website...I think it has something to with the horn design. There is very little resistance from back waves in the chamber and the tractrix design of the horn. Just a guess, Charney could better explai... | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers Another shout out for Charney Audio! I have a pair of Maestro's with the Omega RS7 driver ($5,400) in my 11x15x8 room. Sensitivity is 100db so low powered SET amps are the way to go. I have ANK Interstage 8w300b amps and can't get enough of what t... | |
| Speakers for a small room My room is 11x15x8 and I have a pair of Charney Audio Maestro Companion with Omega RS7 Drivers. Beautiful engaging sound that lacks for nothing. If your in the NJ,NY,CT, PA region I highly recommend taking an evening of weekend day to stop by Char... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Have had a lot of great speakers over the years from JBL (4312,4311b) Snell (K2, A3i, C4,C5) Omega (Compact Hemp, Alnico 6 Monitor, Alnico XRS 8, all paired with Deep Hemp Subs) Shelby and Kroll monitors and subs, and various project OB speakers. ... | |
| Which Amp to complete my system? For solid state look into the Digital Amplifier Company I have had STM on my horns and if I didn't found the deal on my mono 300b's I would still have it. Very clean, clear, and smooth with 0 digital etch. Contact Tommy he will set you up. https:/... | |
| Road to Hana - Best Audio CD Bring a cooler of water, food, beer and wine. Found a bunch of waterfalls and listened to some local music we picked up. Brother IZ Facing Future is a good one to get you there. http://izhawaii.com/facingfuture/ | |
| Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio? Earlier in the thread I mentioned a one box set up that uses a NOS chip. The dac I had previously was the Digital Amplifier Company Dac or DAC DAC. DAC has released the DAC DAC2 which has a lower noise floor than the original. Tommy is a great gut... | |
| Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio? I recently sold my transport (PSA PWT) and dac (Digital Amplifier Co. DAC) which sounded fantastic, to a one box Sparkler S503 CDP. Since I haven't embraced computer audio, and still spin the silver disc the S503 was a no brainer! Small in size, b... | |
| Considering purchasing different speakers Charney Audio will give you exactly what your looking for. Holographic soundstage and pinpoint imaging is exceptional! Don't worry about the age of your dac unless your going the very hirez route. I have a pair of Charney Maestro with the Omega RS... | |
| Warmer sounding Solid State Digital Amplifier Company (DAC) does a great job with this. A meat on the bones digital amp. 30 day return policy. Perhaps its not the amp but the source is a little "hot"? ATC also makes very good class A and Class A/B biased into class A. I have... | |
| Used audiophile preamp If I didn't already have a very upgraded ANK L4 I would be all over this preamp:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis983h4-supratek-chardonnay-stereo-tube-preamplifier-14430-tubeHappy hunting :) |
