| What amplifier for Harbeth HL-5? After reading through most comments from Harbeth owners, I concur with the notion that the Harbeth will work well with most good amplifiers out there. In other words, the sonic difference between good amps will be subtle at best. You will gain a l... | |
| Amplifier Power Ratings & Speaker Sensitivity 09-26-09: ShadorneAt 4 meters this requires 88 + 12 = 100 db SPL from the speakers. From the amp this requires 32 watts. So you should be easily OK to reach these peak level without any problems of any sort from your amp or speakers.Shadorne, ther... | |
| P3 Motor pulsing There shouldn't be any sound on Rega turntables when the platter is moving. It should be dead quiet as with any well-designed TTs. The unit is probably defective. Rega does not seem to have any customer support in the UK, unfortunately, as they en... | |
| Ayre QB-9 USB DAC Kschiu, the Digital Link III is a fairly new DAC. My friend mentioned he also did a shoot-out between the Ayre and Perfect Wave DAC with all the different filters tested with the presence of two critical listeners. The Ayre was said to have won by... | |
| Ayre QB-9 USB DAC Kschiu, the PS Audio DAC was a Digital Link III. | |
| Ayre QB-9 USB DAC One of my friends bought this DAC two months ago after he did a shoot-out with his PS Audio DAC. The PS Audio lost flat-out. Just recently he auditioned the Weiss Minerva DAC and did an A/B comparison with the Ayre. Now he is contemplating of gett... | |
| New Rega Elicit Integrated - Opinions Thanks for your response. I recently just tried a Rotel RQ-970BX outboard phonostage and to my ears there isn't any significant audible difference between the two. In fact both sound so alike that I would probably have mixed up both in a double-bl... | |
| Audio Technica AT33 PTG or AT33R Hi Tom, thanks for the detailed evaluation between the AT33PTG and Dynavector DV-20XL. It is interesting to note about your comments on the additional refinement in the detailed nuances of plucked string instruments, piano key strokes and shimmer ... | |
| Normal Practice To Use 6 1/2" Sub With 8" Speaker? I upgraded from a single 12" Dali sub to dual 6 1/2" PMC sub. The bass quality of the PMC is better and goes lower (22Hz) than the Dali (28Hz) on paper...something which I fail to understand why a single 12" driver fails to go lower than an equiva... | |
| Zu or Harbeth For what it's worth, I have heard the M40 driven by MC402(forgotten the preamp but it's a Macintosh as well). Mcintosh goes very well with the M40 and M40.1 as with any other speakers. If you listen to a lot of natural vocals, some orchestra and f... | |
| NAD C355BEE Owners - Advice Needed Thanks. That is one clear picture of the C355BEE's rear panel. I need to get back to my friend. | |
| NAD C355BEE Owners - Advice Needed Thanks for all responses. I didn't know the jumpers/links need to be in place in order for the amp to work. I need to find out why my friend said there isn't any jumpers provided with the amp since he was listening to it driving the B&W 684 fo... | |
| PMC and what electronics ?? I recently listened to a friend's system that is comprised of the EB1i driven by one 4B-SST. Source is a Mac to an Ayre DAC. Sounds good with exemplary bass notes. He is contemplating of getting another two units of 4B-SST since the speakers can b... | |
| Bookshelf/Stand-Mount 3-Way Monitors: Need Help Ditto on the above. Just don't end up selling the Bang & Olufsen 3702. Some folks have regretted selling some stuff away that they can NEVER recover in the used market at a later stage due to rarity of these classic jewels. | |
| Is the B&W 600 series a good value? Hi Koven, not familiar with UPA-2 but 125W would be more than sufficient for the 805. Anyway you can always use the Peachtree Decco to drive the 805(if you happen to end up with these) and hear the results for yourself before making any hasty deci... |
