| what good amplifier match with Speaker Dali 4B ? Kvbien, I haven't heard the gear you own. I assume the Sansui is a receiver. I don't think that you will find an amp that will make a big difference in the sound of your system. I could be wrong though.I suggest that your best chance of putting to... | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? Get it on cd, the 30th Anniversary remastered set. It doesn't sound as if it was recorded in a chapel using a single stereo pair of cardioids, but it sounds fine and communicates the excitement and young adult angst that Bruce intended. It certain... | |
| what good amplifier match with Speaker Dali 4B ? From what I can find online, your Dalis are an easy speaker to drive. They have a nominal impedance of 8 ohms and a sensitivity of around 90 db. So you could use just about any amp to drive them. You don't need a powerful or expensive amp. Tubes o... | |
| Doge 8 and Conrad Johnson ET-3 Tubed phono stages need tubes selected for being especially quiet. Upscale Audio calls them platinum grade, others call them phono grade. Of course there's no guarantee that they will stay quiet throughout their lives. Another one of the joys of b... | |
| Jagger gets a real job, finally. Don't forget Brian Jones. We never would have heard of the Rolling Stones if it wasn't for Brian. Unfortunately, he fell to drugs early and Mick and Keef took the band over and Keef even took Brian's girlfriend away. In their defense, it is said t... | |
| Jagger gets a real job, finally. Csontos if you want humor post something like this:What's the difference between a Scotsman and a Rolling Stone? A Rolling Stone says 'Hey you, get off of my cloud!' while a Scotsman says 'Hey McLeod, get off of my ewe!'Mateored, There are so many... | |
| Jagger gets a real job, finally. Perfect economic justice or perfect justice of any kind will not be found in this world. I prefer the distribution of income that results from capitalism to the results of attempts to impose economic justice in countries like Russia, China, North ... | |
| New speakers. Gregm, are you aware that the Pass XA30.5 is not a 30 watt amp? It switches to A/B operation at 30 watts and per Stereophile measurements doesn't clip until it hits 130 watts into 8 ohms and 195 watts into 4 ohms.Here is what Pass says about it on... | |
| hendrix winterland fans.... I'll go with disc 3. Jimi seemed to gain focus and energy as the 3 day stand went on. Disc 4 is highlights from all 3 days and it's good too.Live music connoisseurs complain that this box doesn't include all 6 complete shows, but sometimes less is... | |
| New speakers. You might want to do a search for threads on speakers that work well with your Pass amp. The right amp > speaker pairing is the key to getting the best out of both. I'd guess the topic has come up before. You could even give Pass Labs a call. T... | |
| hendrix winterland fans.... I've got the Winterland concerts. I'll see if I can give them a listen and decide on a favorite. | |
| New speakers. Gregm, Which thread in particular is about easy to drive speakers? It's not immediately apparent, to me anyway. | |
| Live From Daryl's House-Shelby Lynne Thanks for the notice Mofi. I am a fan of Shelby too. She has a great voice and I love the Alabama accent. It's kind of hard to follow her recordings though, you never know which direction she's going to go next. | |
| New speakers. Hi James,I'm glad your search for a new player turned out so well. I haven't heard the AMR but it has a great reputation. That and the Pass amp should keep you satisfied with your electronics for quite a while.How old are the Zingalis? How much wo... | |
| Any way to reduce pre-amp noise floor? The good dealers will be willing to answer your questions and make recommendations. Don't be afraid to tell them you're not knowledgeable about tubes. If you're not sure after talking to someone, just tell them you need to think it over. They are ... |
