| Anyone own the Yamaha A-S2000 - noob questions It has been a year since I let my Ayre AX7 go. I havent done side by side comparison, sorry. The AS2000 is just a couple weeks old; I dont want to misjudge its true potentials at this point. What is striking about this amp is the speed, the soun... | |
| Anyone own the Yamaha A-S2000 - noob questions My runs rather cool to warm; about the same as Ayre AX7 what i use to have. The volume is at 9:00-10:00 o'clock with my Dynas X12 and REL R-305 sub. My, amp is absolutely quiet. Yes, definitely send it back, it might be a Bios problem. Johsti, 2.8... | |
| Yamaha A-S2000 and REL-R305 Here it is; the answer I got from Yamaha Technical Support:"After speaking with one of your training guys, we found out that it can be done as long as the sub woofer input impedance rating is 100 ohms and above". I really like the amp and I don't ... | |
| Yamaha A-S2000 and REL-R305 Thanks, yes, the REL R-305 portion is clear, however the amp section is where I get confused. The A-S2000 utilizes balanced amp design with a floating ground. Is it safe to use negative speaker terminal and feed to my sub without shorting out the ... | |
| Miniwatt bi-amp solution Yes, thanks. I didnt think of bypassing the volume pot, and going with W4S DAC2 for example. I could use a new DAC anyways (Im still counting on my Santa). For now Ill try just a simple RCA splitter and see if having two amps will benefit my l... | |
| KT88 or EL34 based tube amp for Titus ES Thanks for your suggestion. It proofs that there is a life beyond the Primaluna world. Almarro looks very approachable. Is there a danger of damaging speakers with single-ended amp, say when the burned filament shorts out the output? Thanks. | |
| KT88 or EL34 based tube amp for Titus ES Tpsonic good point with an IC, I would like to keep it simple, thanks. I use to have Dialogue Two with my Focal 918, what a match!!! I just loved the air and space. I had to give it up, hoping that my HT receiver will do the trick. Unfortunately, ... | |
| Raysonic CD128 blue light CD128 doesnt have this option on the RC. I know that CD168 is a bit different. I get used to it by now. The player is amazing; presentation is as close to life performance as I ever experienced in my room. | |
| Focal Profile 918 presentation I’ve found the answer to my previous question. I don’t care about the “bass extension” or “deep soundstage” anymore, what I hear is pure music, as close to life performance as I can remember. Do yourself a favor and give Raysonic CD128 a try. It w... | |
| Focal Profile 918 presentation Well what can I say after a month of tuning my system: The biggest improvement in sound quality in my system, was introducing 16X11 Maple Plinth bolted to the speaker, mounted on heavy duty cone spikes. Besides adding incredible stability to the s... | |
| Focal Profile 918 presentation I use to have Triangle Celius ES, ( I know the newer ESW model as well), both models are to big for my 12X12 room. I had to turn the volume way up in order to get any presence of bass. I was considering Triangle Antal ESW or Profile 918. Finding F... | |
| Focal Profile 918 presentation The maple comes from friend of mine: he had leftovers from his kitchen remodeling project….i just had them cut, stained with the ebony Minwax and protected with the clear satin Polyurethane…..Man; they turn out really sharp. I bought two sets of 1... | |
| Focal Profile 918 presentation No, I haven't tried to toe-in yet, that will be my next step. I'm waiting for my 11X15X2" Maple Speaker Plinths with 1-1/2 cone spikes. The factory spikes are useless with my carpet. The speakers are kind of floating on the carpet. The speakers ar... | |
| Focal Profile 918 presentation That would be trying ...not tiring. Sorry. | |
| Jolida JD707A vs. MF A3.5 or Creek 5350SE Why?.... you know the grass is always greener. I have Yamaha DSP-A1, some people say it is a decent one. In my opinion, it doesnt come even closed to my tube gear, just different league. I was afraid that all SS amps are closer to my DSP-A1 sound... |
