| 2 REL Strata Subs and Mono amps ZormiMy amp is a CJ LP 70S.Almarg is absolutely correct that the wiring scheme of red+ yellow in the neutrik speaker wires tied to the +(red) terminal of the amp's speaker binding posts and the black to the -(black) speaker post is the way to go i... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Hi JohnNot very successful . Did hear the VTL 7.5 mk 3 pre, the big Siegfried monos and the Wilson XLFs. I suspect the room was not large enough. Majestic sweep but the problem I guess is me. When I walk into a demo of a 300k system I expect the m... | |
| 2 REL Strata Subs and Mono amps ZormiI have a pair of REL G 1s connected in the manner suggested by the OP ie red and yellow to the red terminal and the black to the black terminal. This is what the manual says. Alternately, the yellow ground lead can be connected to a exposed s... | |
| Converting tube preamp from 110v to 230v Many thank for all the responses. My query was prompted by a spate of high end ARC preamps for sale on Agon. I guess there are no shortcuts...!Have a great XMasPradeep | |
| Converting tube preamp from 110v to 230v ElizabethThanks. Won't a transformer have some sonic effects, sound degradation etc ? | |
| What is the "correct" VTA for the Lyra Atlas? If you have achieved a sweet spot where you can enjoy the music and your system ,stop at that point and more important, stop obsessing about any technical parameters. When I got my Atlas I was more concerned about achieving a SRA of 92 % and even ... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Many thanks to all who have responded. I did speak to Andy Payor yesterday . He was clear that 70/80 wpc will be adequate unless you play at head banging levels which hopefully I don't . I am not too concerned about extracting the last bit of LFE ... | |
| New TW 3 Motor Pod I stopped listening to cds years ago except perhaps as background music when the conversation gets dull.. | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors JohnI am a bit intrigued by your statement that the Nagras 330b and VPAs could successfully drive the Aviors. The Nagras output 20wpc and 50 wpc respectively. Conventional wisdom has it that you need at least 150 wpc to drive the 89db efficient Av... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Hi JohnMany thanks. I should get a peek and hopefully a listen to the VTLs in NYC today. Nagra...why did I not think of that. I have a Nagra dealer in New Delhi but a demo may not be possible. Will post my impressions.Cheers | |
| New TW 3 Motor Pod Congrats on your new motor. I completely endorse your sentiments about the significant improvement of the 3 motor unit versus the single motor. Its been nearly 6 months since I swapped the single motor for the BN motor & PSU in my TW AC. I sus... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Let me rephrase the question. I am not looking to owners of Rockport Aviors to share their experience ; I reckon I will have to wait a long time for that given the very few pairs out there. Instead , what electronics(tube only) work with speakers ... | |
| Mating Quad 2905's with crossover and subs? TarjinYour dealer is a wise man. It's not easy to replace the Quads. Sadly I am also in the process of selling my 2905s . It's a long story and no reflection on the Quads. The integration with a sub, preferably a pair ,is pretty simple. I can't th... | |
| An impression of some phono stages I am surprised that you found the Nagra VPS so disappointing . There are many here on Agon, including me, who have been consistently pleased with its performance. What was the cart loading used and did you use the tube or the SS gain stage ? I don... | |
| Mating Quad 2905's with crossover and subs? I have had a pair of 2905s for 5+ years with a steady progression of REL subs, starting with the 305s, tried a single B1, and then a pair of 505s. I recently added a G1 with a second one on its way. IMHO 2905s with a pair of REL G1s is a pretty aw... |
