| Preamp with deep soundstage suggestions here's my recent experience. i was using a linn kairn w/the latest slimline briliant power supply, & it was excellent in all areas, except depth. i'm using meret re monitors, biamped w/a pair of electrocompaniet amps; crossed-over at 60hz w/a ... | |
| 3-D Imaging: How?? i'd definitely recommend getting heavy fabric drapes for your window between the speakers. also, how far are ewe from the back wall? w/the speakers out 4.5' in a 12x13 room, i imagine yure pretty close - get some highly-absorbent sound treatment f... | |
| Aleph-3 Questions david, ya mite wanna contact me about a conversation i had w/another mfr about the output impedence of the rogue 99. his feelings were that it would be hard to design a mu-follower-type preamp that *didn't* have an output impedence of 2k-2.4k ohms... | |
| Aleph-3 Questions rogue sez their 99 preamps' output impedence is 100 ohms, but this *can't* be correct, as my experiments w/crossing the outputs w/resistors indicates an output impedence in the 2k-2.4k range. fwiw... doug | |
| Red Rose Speakers (From Mark Levinson) nathanu, check out newform research r645's - not minimonitors, but the same price-range, they're ribbons above 1khz, and they're 91db/w/1m. their www: http://www.newformresearch.com/ amazing reviews: http://audioreview.com/reviews/Speaker/product_... | |
| Aleph-3 Questions hi david, not having directly heard this amp, i can't offer any direct experience, but i *do* have a couple comments - how efficient are your speakers? i know that the aleph 3 is supposed to be more powerful than its watts, but it is still only 25... | |
| JOB, BelCanto, Perpetual, MilleniumDACs? hi subaruguru, perhaps ewe should try a toobed preamp - mebbe that's the key to why tubegroover is having better luck w/the belcanto in his system. i know a toobed pre helped my system tremendously - much greater than upgrading my $500 nad cd chan... | |
| Resolution Audio CD-55..Past Threads... the cd-50 & cd-55 are wery nice cd players - only marginally better than the alchemist nexus cd player, which is ~half the price. and, the differences are noticeable *only* when run in *direct* comparison - both players run at the same time, i... | |
| Who R U? hi swampwalker, there are more & more preamps that offer dedicated h-t proccessor outputs - when ewe select this output, your main preamp defaults all its controls to the processor, so ewe can use the processor's volume control, etc, to run *a... | |
| Any advice on CD player upgrade? sorry, dunno why this dint print the last post - here's my experience regarding cd players: w/my ~$500 nad cd changer, my digital is far from state of the art. but, i a-b'd my nad w/a $1700 alchemist nexus cd player, on *my* system, and there was ... | |
| Any advice on CD player upgrade? hi outlier, shoulda taken my adwice & gotten a better preamp! ;~) see my previous comments about this from another thread (vinyl vs cd): <<<<<<>>>>> going to better preamps have made *big* improvements to all m... | |
| Tubed pre-amp for solid state amp? good idea-yust the ticket. but, i'm not sure about your price-point - may have to spend a bit more. i 1st tried the rogue 99 - great sound, but poor bass - i tink the impedance input of my x-over ( i run subs-n-sats) was too low, at 25kohms. your ... | |
| Want to upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line2 i am partial to the melos music director - the best of tubes *and* solid-state. but, if ya like the s-f sound, why not a line-3? they're practically giving these things away now - retail $5k, for sale new from dealers for ~$2800... doug. ps - i ha... | |
| Monitors+Sub or Full Range Speakers??? kev, you are right - up to a point. you need an *excellent* crossover, usually not found on active subs, and you need two subs. that way, no tweeking, once it's set-up properly. my sub system consists of a pair of vmps larger subs, a marchand xm-9... | |
| Monitors+Sub or Full Range Speakers??? at $2k retail, go for the monitors - ewe can always get a sub set-up at a later date, as budget allows. too many compromises at this price point for either full-range *or* monitor + subs (need two for audio), if ya insist on paying retail. - *my* ... |
