| Your first amp? A Sansui 210 receiver in 1971. I wanted a Sony, but didn't have the extra 50.00 at the time. The system consisted of a Sansui 210 receiver, a BSR turntable with Shure cartridge, Sony TC 121 cassette deck with a Teac AN 50 outboard Dolby noise redu... | |
| Shunyata conditioner I have a Hydra 4 and a Hydra 2 in my system. The only difference between the Hydra 4 and 6 are the two extra outlets. The noise floor dropped to zero once the Hydra was inserted into my system. I have a tube preamp and can turn the volume all the ... | |
| H/T suggestions for 2 channel? Why don't you call Klaus at Odyssey and ask if he can add another input or two to the Cyclops? I bet it can be done for very little cash outlay. | |
| Esoteric K-03 I have an Esoteric UX-3 which uses the VRDS NEO Transport and I can not hear a sound coming from the unit when it is playing. The transport is dead quiet. | |
| Locus Design Axis USB or ??? I use a Wireworld Starlite 6 usb cable and it sounds wonderful for just around 100.00 going from my laptop to a Wyred4Sound Dac. | |
| Body for Maggies: Hegel Pass Sanders or Ncore? I have heard the Sanders Magtech with the Maggie's 1.7 speakers and it was some very beautiful and realistic music. If I had room for panel speakers, that is the combo I would go with. I would also use a tube preamp, but that is just me. | |
| How long do B&W 800 series speakers last seriously to the original poster, ask if the speakers were near a heat source. I had the rubber surround come unglued from a Vandersteen 2ci woofer because the speaker was near the radiator in my living room. This is what Vandersteen told me when ... | |
| How long do B&W 800 series speakers last "I wonder why ....."What does the type of music have to do with blown speakers? I listen to heavy metal and techno as part of my choices and I have NEVER blown a speaker. And, I do not listen to chamber music with 75db peaks either.I think that re... | |
| Shunyata Hydra 2 I bet the picture would be sharper and colors more vivid with it in the chain. | |
| Bi amping question "Then send left and right outputs to a single speaker input? I am just curious and uneducated."The amp will go up in smoke. You can't combine the 2 channels to one speaker unless the amp is bridged. If you don't believe me, then try it. You will p... | |
| Peak listening levels- I average 88db with peaks sometimes around 93db. That's as loud as I want to hear it. I sit 12 feet away from the speakers and these are the measurements at my listening chair. | |
| Hydra 2 for digital My digital components and an fm tuner are plugged into a Hydra 4 and it lowered the noise floor immensely. My amp and pre are plugged into a Hydra 2. | |
| Dedicated circuit I have 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits for my system. One for the amp and pre which are plugged into a Shunyata Hydra 2 and one for my source components which are plugged into a Shunyata Hydra 4. I have an old house with older wiring, so when I had my... | |
| My Music Hall CD 25 just died Bury it. | |
| Yaqin integrated anybody heard them or own one A few years back, I bought a Yaquin hybrid amp. Tube input and solid state output. It looked very pretty on the outside, but inside it was a piece of crap. There was a huge cover over the power transformer which would lead one to believe the trans... |
