| Musical Fidelity old vs new Some folks are also of the opinion that the Musical Fidelity gear made in the UK is better quality than their products that are made in China. No direct experience myself, but perhaps worth looking into... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I have an Atmasphere S30 Mk II (with jumpers to reduce the gain), a Musical Fidelity kW preamp and a Weiss DAC2(=Minerva). Think I will try out some different DACs soon: Tranquility, Rega and maybe the Hegel HD2. If I keep these, selling the Weiss... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Hey Fred, Yes, I am running some Sylvanias in back and Tung-sols up front at present in my S-30. Still adjusting to the Soul Superfly's sound in my system. A bit on the forward side at present, would be my main concern. My speakers were floor samp... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Aleph 30 is a great amp. I was bummed that it had too high a damping factor for my speaks. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Wow. Just began an audition of the Superflys with my Atmasphere S-30 (thanks again Gopher!). Wow. I had heard the combo in Gopher's system when I bought the S-30s off of him, but damn to hear these speakers in my own system and room with equipment... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore No problem here either. Too bad about the price going back to $1000. I called Eric not too long ago to see how long the $850 price would be happening and he told me it would be at that price for a good bit longer. Looks like he changed his mind on... | |
| Removing power conditioner... Elizabeth,What do you plug into the PPP vs the PP600? | |
| Starter budget tube preamp with remote? Gopher wrote up a very positive evaluation of the Avant over on Audio Circle. Compared favorably to his Shindo, which is really saying something in my book. | |
| What power cable for DAC? Well Duaneadam, as a Weiss DAC2 owner I am certainly interested in your findings... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA60's with Proac Speakers I'd worry a bit about the dip to 4 ohms min impedance. But I also second the recommendation of checking with Ralph. It may be that buying the Speltz Zeros would be a good move with those speakers and the M60. | |
| Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl Byron,Can you point us to a good explanation of how to time align subs and mains? Got the dual subs and decently flat freq response. Time to get the time alignment dealt with. | |
| Magneplanar 1.7s to Recruit New Audiophile? Have you heard the 1.7s? There are things electrostats do great, and areas they are less strong. You will want to see how they compare to other designs with the type of music & movies you will be playing.On the DAC side, you could do much bett... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Actually for improved bass response, if you are considering the FirstWatt amps, I'd go for the F1, F1J, F2 or F2J. These are current source amps, which do not work with most speakers with crossovers, but I believe will work with the type of crosso... | |
| small companies making today's best products Wait, have we gotten this far without an Atma-sphere mention? What a great company and wonderful amps. They are there for customers with questions (especially nice since OTL amps are a bit of a different beast) and offer a number of options for up... | |
| Preamp suggestions I have veen very very pleased with my Musical Fidelity kW Hybrid preamp. You can find nice reviews of it in Stereophile and elsewhere. A true tank, a great sounding tank. It combined what I liked most about active pres (the drive and oomph) with w... |
