| anyone using musical fidelity kw phono preamp Love mine. Any particular questions you have about it? | |
| New rogue sphinx or used rogue 99 preamp Tough to say. Though the 3D effect does suggest the influence of tubes. If you can't audition the 99, you could buy one used and try it out. If it isn't as impressive, then you can likely sell the 99 at little to no loss. Except maybe shipping. | |
| impedance question and tubes Hi Dan, I think that conventional wisdom would be to just go with whatever tap works best for you. Your amps may not be giving the most possible power at 4 ohms, but if you have the headroom in terms of power, this may not be a problem. I have not... | |
| Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers No need to apologize George. I have found what works best for me in my system and am quite content. That happened to be an active pre in my case. Please do not take it upon yourself to put down what I have found to work best for me in my system. | |
| Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers But it should be noted that the passive preamp offered by Pass is no mere volume control. It is a buffer design that attempts to eliminate impedance issues that afflict many passive designs, IIRC. I will also add my 2 cents:Cent #1: I agree that a... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound - DAC2 DSD SE - Excellent upgrade A very nice review. I particularly appreciate your description of the relative impact of the upgrade in comparison to other potential component upgrades. The relative improvement in the context of other potential upgrades in different parts of a s... | |
| Early stages of choosing replacement floorstanders Not sure if most B&W's measure like this, but the measurements of the 804 Diamonds in the most recent Stereophile were far from flat. | |
| Amp with best bass control Wyred4Sound amps are all Class D, not Class A. | |
| Amp with best bass control What speakers are we talking about here? There is such thing as overdamped bass with some speakers. In my experience this can be the case for high efficiency speakers, or speakers designed with low damping factor tube amplification in mind. | |
| What Are The Top 5 Audiophile Shows In The USA? I have limited audio show experience, but many people at AXPONA commented on the sound being much better than usual at audio shows. The organizers wisely made sound treatments available to all of the exhibitors, and looks like that payed off. | |
| Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik Lowrider57, Could you let us know which of these $1500 tables you tried and compared? There seem to be some very well regarded tables at that price point: VPI Traveler, Well Tempered Simplex, Rega RP-6, Avid Ingenium etc. | |
| Chang Lightspeed or Running Springs Audio Jafant, Let's wait and learn about customer service folling this change at RSA, as opposed to making assumptions without specific evidence from this new arrangement at RSA. | |
| What power conditioner will help in my situation? I'd also second the thought that a balanced power conditioner like something from Equi=tech might be able to fix the issue. I'd also call a dealer and get their thouhgts. Cable Company carries a number of brands and has a lending system that I thi... | |
| Equipment does not match Yes, I think suggestions like Almarg's are very good ones. Pay attention to any post that Almarg makes. He is a superb resource whose responses never fail to impress and educate me. And yes, if not the room and placement, I would look at that amp.... | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? Are you able to audition any of these? Speakers are such a matter of personal preference. These threads may help you narrow things down. But if you are spending this kind of money I'd try to figure out a way to hear the speakers that interest you.... |
