| Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B WOW!!! Hi John... The Coincidents are the MK-II version upgraded with Jupiter Premium Copper Foil caps. I did an A/B with the Mk-III version a year ago and frankly liked the MK-II w/ Jupiters better. As for 300B tubes I have Western Electric, PSvane, e... | |
| Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B WOW!!! So, after 3 days with my new Inspire PSE 300B, I could not be any happier with the amp. I'm stunned in the improvement over my trusty Coincident Frankenstein monoblocks that have defeated all challengers for the last 5 years. Specifically, the... | |
| Female vocalist recommendations Really good list! Any recommendations of female vocalists in an up tempo format? | |
| Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B WOW!!! @woodsage Actually these are the BD-Design Orphean-220 horns utilizing the new Celestion AXi-2050 driver. The amplifier for the BD-Design compact reference base enclosures is a Crown XLS-1500. Both amplifiers utilize minidsp as the xover. I do... | |
| Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B WOW!!! Yep, I'll be listing the Coincident monoblocks this weekend. They have been in my system for years and have never missed a beat and are spotless. Regarding the horns I have done the entire tour a couple times from SET+horns to Wilson Audio and e... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? I too switched from Roon to Sense. One possible solution to your DSP is to just add a miniDSP in your signal path between pre & amp. Yes yes I know this is an extra A/D-D/A but using the miniDSP-HD version I have been unable to hear the diff... | |
| Preamp with two volume controls? The Supratek Cabernet Dual does exactly what you are describing. I used one for a couple years in my Horn + Sub system for the same reason. There are two volume controls that control different outputs. There are two configurations you can selec... | |
| Bob Carver tube amps Take a look at Denis Had (of Cary fame) new inspire amps. He makes them himself one at a time point to point wiring. The new Inspire 300B PSE (parallel single ended) sounds outstanding at 12 W/Chan can drive most anything. | |
| Happy Thanksgiving/ A peaceful holiday and hopeful message. Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for so very many things but keeping things in perspective my top three are God, family and friends, and the freedom we have here in the USA. | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Having just spent 2 days at Capital Audio Fest and having been in the hobby for 40ish years I continue to be surprised by astonishingly expensive systems that are hell bent on detail retrieval to the point that the individual sounds are so disconn... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I too heard then at CAF yesterday and was really impressed. I prepare myself to be utterly disappointed by the latest hyped speaker but it was really good. I'll reiterate what others have said - at $3.7k I have not heard anything at twice the pr... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I haven't admitted to myself how much I have spent, so certainly not my wife or the neighbors. Did I mention that we (wife and I) are going to Capital Audiofest this weekend? Come to think of it she most likely has a better idea of the total cos... | |
| Celestion Axi2050 Horn Drivers - Holy Cow! I can't find the link to Berts but I made a directory with a zip for all versions of the enclosure, the driver specs, and some pictures. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhlYu1NGOjTsjJEN314TpbliskpDVg?e=z6Y4Kv Let me know once you have the file and I'll pull ... | |
