| Good 845 integrated Unfortunately, there are not as many 845 amplifiers as there should be.The Bel Canto is one of the seminal products in this category. I was fortunate enough to hear it a long time ago when a local dealer carried the brand. I really liked it, and i... | |
| Speakercable w vg definiton of drumssounds. Best I have ever heard was shotgun double biwire run of AudioQuest Dragons. Garden hose, using OCC silver. Felt like I had an extra octave of explosive bass over any other cable I have tried in my system. Nothing else has even come close. If you w... | |
| KT100 is better than KT88? Fantastic insight, David w. Bravo! Thank you. | |
| Why not more on 845 SETs? Denis, please keep us in the loop over time as to how you find these new amplifiers. It is a rare audiophile who can really articulate what how something truly sounds, without adding their own personal biases, among other things. Over the past mon... | |
| Best of Audiogon Members Tim, of course. If you read closely, you'll notice there were, um, a couple of people on their more than once... | |
| Why not more on 845 SETs? Great thread, Denis!My friend had a pair of ASL 1009 amps, featuring this tube, and of all the amps he has ever had, and he's had a lot of them (including his current Mesa Barons), this was far and away MY favorite. As good a sounding pair of amps... | |
| Best of Audiogon Members On a tangent, I would like to nominate some of the Audiogoners who have become close friends, who I don't really see much of anymore, and I miss dearly here in the forums. The people on this list are as knowledgeable and passionate an audiophile a... | |
| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? Fatparrot, the tubes I picked up last week were just about all grey glass RCA 12SX7 tubes. I think that two of them were General Electric as well. By the way, my favorites so far are a pair of RVC (RCA Canada) grey glass I picked up in the fall. T... | |
| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? Oh, one issue I forgot to address are the chassis of the M60 MKII.3. There are currently THREE different chassis available. The old style, with the tubes in the front, transformers in the back, and the squared off transformer covers. This is the c... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? Are the KT88 tubes that most of the Jadis amps seem to be using these days, JJ KT88?In my own Jadis, the KT90 were stock. But, now I see that they come with KT88. I believe the reason is the lack of KT90 availability after the Ei factory was destr... | |
| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? 711Smilin, your heart is in the right place. You should buy the pair on auction here for the tsunami victims. I offer my personal debt of gratitude to you and Ralph for making this happen. I actually spoke to Ralph about them this week. They will ... | |
| Atma-sphere M60 II.3-Any good for 4 ohm speaker? 711smilin, against conventional wisdom, my Atmas have sounded great with a 4 ohm speaker - Frieds. Actually, they are the best amps I have come across for Frieds.Now, understand that the series crossover (presenting a resitive load) might be the r... | |
| Ode To Audio Clubs - Lunacy Loves Company Sorry, Nrchy, Joe (Slipknot1) is already spoken for - in our group.Spencer, do we really bust chops until the day is done???One big caveat, those who are not interested in ramping up the amount of money they spend on audio are best served by being... | |
| Lowther speakers for Fisher X-202-B? 4yanx, no, not at all. I find them to be on the other end of the spectrum. Sincere apologies if I didn't make myself clear. Although English is the only tongue I have ever spoken, some would probably call me an ESL candidate. Wouldn't be sure what... | |
| Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive? Eps, to be truthful, when would I bias my Jadis Orchestra Reference, it never needed as much adjustment as I expected. In fact, I just switched from Ei KT90 to JJ E34L, and despite the monumental difference in tubes, I was astonished about how clo... |
