| Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450 Eldartford, I think I would have to agree with you, though some might argue that the smaller amps provide some inner detail that the bigger amps tend to mask. However, this exercise has helped to illuminate the power requirement curve of the 3.6 a... | |
| Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few? Gmood1...I've done the fuse/attenuator bipass mod and have about $1400 worth of caps and alphacore inductors which I'm getting ready to install, along with an internal rewire and relocation of the internal x-over to a new external box. I'm hoping ... | |
| best rock voices I agree with Velo62, though I thought his voice sounded a bit grainy after he hit 30 and his balls dropped. | |
| Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few? I've had two Carver ZR1600's running for about 30+ hrs now and they seemed to have leveled out as far as break-in goes. These are incredible amps for the money, but I don't think they are 'giant killers' as I've heard them referred to. I can imagi... | |
| Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450 Where do Magnepans peak as far as power is concerned?I just tried the Carver ZR1600 with the 3.6R. I started off using 2 Carvers in bridged mono version, running biwired. These amps double their output when impedance is halved and are rated 1600w ... | |
| Enjoyment John, I've never sought 'accuracy' as a priority. My priorities are musicality and scale of presentation, the later has the sub category of dimensionality. Musicality for me happens mostly in the midrange. I crave the full bodied presentation of t... | |
| Enjoyment What is 'accurate'?...what is your benchmark for measuring accuracy?....how do you know if your system is more or less accurate than another system?Judging by your question, it sounds to me that you are at a crossroads in your life and you may be ... | |
| Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few? Eldartford, what was your experience with break-in on these amps?....how much time do they need and what kind of changes/improvement occur in the first 30 hrs or so?Also, what do you do with speaker cables, are yours banana terminated or do you us... | |
| Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few? Thanks for comments offered so far. I want to believe that a pair Carverpro zr1600 can sound better than a pair of Pass X600's, it's just difficult to digest, given their retail price difference. I'm not a hifi 'snob' and have no 'issues' with Car... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Thanks Tubegroover, I read all of those cheap romance novels but I still don't know who he is.....he probably doesn't know who I am either, so what the heck! | |

| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. I'm not surprised that Selling England BTP seems to be high on most peoples list, it's a sublime work that seems to capture the very best of the band. It's rare to find a recording where each track is of the highest standard, and I think that is w... | |
| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. Tvad, I was just thinking about this when your post appeared....I had Trick of the Tail, Selling England By The Pound and Duke....pretty close ehh! | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... I live in Wisconsin, if I open the doors and windows in January I can cryo the whole friggin house....the cat...the wife...everything. Can't imagine how the wife would sound during and after the cryo treatment, think I'll give it a try....thanks R... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Someone in the John Kerry camp spent his/her 2003 tax rebate on a nice turntable, which can be seen playing in the recent Kerry campaign ad spotlighting job losses under the Bush administration. When Interviewed, the guy, who turns out to be in th... |
