| Question about the Lumin app There is a LUMIN forum and they respond very fast. | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. I am a novice at modern day DACs but the ones I have tried as a stand alone DAC using my Marantz CDP as a transport sound a tad too clinical, upfront and not as musical as the internal DAC in my Marantz SA11-S2. I do have on loan a T+A DAC 8 non-D... | |
| How long should Pre amp (12au7) tubes last in Rogue Preamp? I've always heard preamp tubes last up to 10,000 hours. Are you wanting to change something in the sound or tonal characteristics? If so, what is it? | |
| Thiel Owners @Tom. If I ever get my recapped Classe's back from the shop, I'll report. DR6 pre and pair of DR9 power that I've had since the late 80s. Those amps are awesome. Buddy of mine used to have a DR9. He kept for several years just because of the b... | |
| Thiel Owners Happy Thiel New Year :) | |
| Thiel Owners 2 Vk55s in mono should work nicely I think. It's a great sounding amp. One of my favorites for sure. I have only used the 4 ohm tap on the Ref 110. | |
| any speakers using all Scanspeak Classic drivers? I believe some of ther older line of Tyler Acoustics such as Linnbrooks for example. | |
| Thiel Owners Tom I had to read your post a couple times (lack of technical knowledge) but I think I understand what you're saying. In a nutshell Thiels need current :)Also the 2nd half of what you are saying makes perfect sense. The quality of the source is... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant I doubt I'll move up the BAT chain because they don't make a tube amp I can afford with higher power. Or at least I'm not aware of. Prof I am using a Audio Research Ref 110. Like your Premiers it really grips the speaker and brings it into ... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom thank you for the excellent advice. Interesting thread no doubt. I will add this. A local buddy let me borrow his higher power tube amp and it really woke up my 2.7. He used it on 3.7 with success. My BAT VK55 isn't a slouch for a 55 wpc t... | |
| Thiel owners please chime in. Your mileage may vary but doesn't hurt to try. Yes please report back. I'll chime in more after extended listening. | |
| Thiel Owners So what are the recommended caps and crossovers for the 2.7 without getting stupid expensive? What are the main benefits please? | |
| Thiel owners please chime in. Hi Prof....yes I switched from 4 to 8 ohm taps. Have not owned the 2.7 too long (approx 6-7 weeks) so trying to get more familiar with them but yes they are tougher to drive. The 4 ohm made sense but I like to experiment so tried the 8 ohm tap. ... | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? Bourbon :) Whatever your personal taste are :) | |
| KT 150 impressions KT150 any day over 120s. It is a very linear tube but doesn't have the EL34 overall midrange but sounds quite nice. |
