| Tact Audio Great Service I've owned my TacT RCS 2.2Xaaa for over four years. My experience with Boz has been an excellent one as well. When I first got the unit, I had a lot of questions and he was very patient(walking me through the learning curve). Three years ago my un... | |
| Question on speaker sensitivity / power. Actually the max power rating(w/o clipping) for the Callas is 250W(RMS). That's IF this is the Callas you are referring to(there are others): (http://www.hifigear.co.uk/site/scripts/product_browse.php?product_id=4594) If you were shopping for SS a... | |
| Advice sought (Garrard Zero 100) Actually- The Hafler equipment will still outperform much of what is offered in the market now, and can be upgraded to even higher levels, should you choose to in the future. You'd find it a good investment. Here are a couple sites that provide up... | |
| Advice sought (Garrard Zero 100) I see! The quality of sound at the price will be very limited, even if you were just shopping for a phono pre-amp alone. Years ago I was a Davis Hafler Corp dealer, and of course used a lot of their products. The DH101 or DH110 were both pretty go... | |
| 40 watt amp with 8 ohm speakers An excellent speaker cable for your combo would be Kimber's 4TC. Pairs are usually available used either in here or on eBay fairly cheaply. | |
| Advice sought (Garrard Zero 100) I never thought the Boston speakers sounded like music(recessed midrange, muddy, rolled off highs, Then again there are those out there that like the system to sound "laid back", so it becomes a matter of your personal tastes. Do you listen to any... | |
| 40 watt amp with 8 ohm speakers If they are they CAM/PRO-32: the efficiency is 90db/1w/1m and 6 ohms nominal. That means your SS NAD(which has a lot of reserve in the power supply anyway) will output slightly more wattage than it's 8 ohm rating. With that efficiency, the speaker... | |
| Ultra high resolution Nilthepill- Spiro Gyra, Acoustic Alchemy, Dave Grusin, Lee Ritenour, Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright, Jeff Golub, Al Jarreau, Joe Sample, David Sanborn, George Benson, Luther Vandross, and David Benoit are all in my collection on GRP(either MCA or Ve... | |
| Advice sought (Garrard Zero 100) You'll have to decide what cartridge will work well(regarding resonance) with the tonarm's effective mass(hi/med/low compliance), whether it will be MM or MC. If it's MC: what MC head-amp matches the cartridge's output best(hi/med/low gain). The S... | |
| Ultra high resolution Dave- I ordered the Tom Scott/Concord from Amazon this morning. 1000 watts/wimpy tubes? I guess I'm spoiled by the pro-practice of active bi-amping. GOTTA have tubes on top though! My room's not big enough to justify that much power($$) for my bot... | |
| Ultra high resolution I'll find one today Dave! Nathan East plays on 5 of the 11 cuts on "Twist"- need I say more? I do believe we've hijacked a thread Dave. Sorry y'all!! Then again- Your bottom has to be resolved as well to hear everything that's going on down there,... | |
| Is the moscode 600 a great amplifier? Replace the tubes with either Siemens E188CC/7308 or CCa, and the sound will be transformed greatly. Then there's the upgrade path as well: (http://moscode.home.att.net/M_mods_upgrades.html) People don't ususally bother with modding products that ... | |
| Ultra high resolution One caveat Dave: If you listen at realistic SPLs, and have woofers with output in the bottom octave(20 to 40hz on CDs anyway):turn the volume down a bit for cuts #4 and #8. If the CD doesn't generate some serious toe-tappin': check your pulse!! Ha... | |
| Ultra high resolution Dave- I'll bet you'd enjoy 'A Twist of Motown' on GRP(if you don't already have it). Lee Ritenour produced it(a lot of contemporary jazz greats doing a collection of motown standards). On a couple cuts the bass can get a tad heavy, but other than ... | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp Sashav- I should have included this with my last post, RE: Availablility of a balanced Placette. Read the last two paragraphs on page one of this review:(http://placetteaudio.com/reviewpage1.htm) You may want to download and check out this review ... |
