| Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's How about an Odyssey Audio Cyclops integrated? It puts out 110wpc and 40 amps peak. That should control your Harbeth speakers quite well. They sell it on their web site for 995 and you can get a souped up version for a little more. They also come ... | |
| Tubes for Audible M3A Currently, the best tubes for the Modulus 3A are the 6h23neb tubes. I bought matched and graded sets from the tube store. Anything else will be a compromise on either musicality or longevity.Bob | |
| Modwright 100 - Specail Editon Still waiting to hear from you, as you mentioned listening to your 5400 with mods a few weeks ago.Bob | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I had the DeVore 8 speakers and Paradigm dsp 3100 sub set up in my living room. I was never truly satisfied with the sound, particularly on rock music. I bought the Odyssey Audio Kismet Reference Loudspeakers off a guy here on the Gon for an excel... | |
| sub integration merlin tsm mme I used a Paradigm sub with DeVore Fidelity 8 speakers. I had the sub 180 degrees out of phase with the DeVores, the crossover set at 50hz and level control around 10 o clock. It blended quite seemlessly. It took me 2 solid months of fiddleing to g... | |
| Modwright Ultimate Sony xa5400 sacd -Review I would love to hear it in your system, kindly let us know when.Bob | |
| Matching an amp to the Vandersteen 3a signatures Parasound, Odyssey Audio are two products that come to mind and can be frequently found here on Audiogon. I had Vandersteen 2ce speakers for many years powered with a 175wpc Classe amp. As good as it sounded, when I replaced the Classe with an Ody... | |
| Imaging and Detail. I was in the same boat as you. All my rock recordings from the 70's and 80's sounded like crap. I was using Vandersteen speakers, switched to DeVore speakers with a sub and still wasn't satisified and had sesigned myself to the idea of not playing... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I owned an origional Son of Ampzilla power amp in the late 70's. I also had a GAS Thalia preamp, and a GAS Sleeping Beauty moving coil cartridge. That system made such beautiful music. I can only guess that James Bongiorno has built an even better... | |
| Is the Sony xa5400es better than scd-1? Doubtful it's better. | |
| Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl I believe it is because the combination of being a rear ported speaker and the speakers proximity to the rear wall. That is something I couldn't change. The speakers also go much lower than the DeVores and much more cleanly.Bob | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I had heard that the Super 8s had better bottom end and were a little more efficient as well. I still feel they are more the Jazz lover and Chamber Music lover type of speaker. Perhaps it was because the Vandersteens being a much larger sized spea... | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I am glad you are enjoying the DeVores, they are a great speaker. The guy I was buying the magneplaners from re-negged on the deal. I didn't notice the phono problem right away because I hadn't played any vinyl for a few months. I think the proble... | |
| Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl I am not in the financial position to buy a new low output mc cartridge and I spoke with Mike at VPI and he said the cartridge is NOT a mismatch for my JMW9 arm, especially since I had the new and heavier counterweight. I purchased the cartridge f... |
