| A 9 watts beats Passlabs, EAR and YBA ? Audio Mirror amps.. Just unreal bass, like subwoofers with no needed equalization! Very sweet and natural as well, my 20 watt amps just destroyed the last threshold and Odyssey mono blocks I had.. But then again the more efficient the woofer the b... | |
| What is a live speaker? Easy live = Zu | |
| Minimax Preamp vs........the world? To be honest not sure where you found the specs on EE's site, these are the ones I see, not 700 ohm output impedance.. And Rogue does not list the output impedance at all so I would call them.. Good LuckSpecification Tubes : 12AU7 x 2, 6X4 x 1Freq... | |
| Best new loudspeaker The new Zu Definition mKII's and the Zu presence are the most promising.. Oh and best sounding I have heard for "Real" sound yet.. and on only a few tube watts :-) | |
| Minimax Preamp vs........the world? By the way why not Odysseys very own new Tube pre the candela they came out with in the last 18 months? I believe its in the same price range as well....? | |
| Minimax Preamp vs........the world? Be very careful with the Eastern electric, it has an output impedance that is very high for your 10 k ohm amp.. I owned the stratos by the way, in about 3 variations of it.. The EE has a 1.5 k out, you will probably get a little more anylitical an... | |
| How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums? I have gone about 3 years now since hitting all mine.. And most albums I have played around 10 times at least in the main rotation which just sound better each time its played and never show signs of needing a cleaning physically or sonically.. Bu... | |
| Best sound on classic rock cds Grand funk railroad... All of their remasters are killer,and I was not a fan, these recordings really shined however.. Not sure the years they came out but I think sometime between 1999 and 2002... Figured I would mention something not already above. | |
| how good are the non os dacs? NOS vs. upsampling I have been able to do direct comparisons on the "Fly" with a touch of a button in the past.. NOS has a bit more body, more intimate and even meat in the middle midrange in your face, but pretty smooth, and with many transports ... | |
| Coincident Triumph vs. Zu Druid I have heard both, only on demos and at different times, however fact as above pointed out above, power could be more an issue than sound, but I would also note that the Zu is really going to excel close to walls and out in the middle of a room.. ... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? Only 2 things this hobby can do in the end...#1 Become a Dangerous Obsession#2 Become a VERY Dangerous PASSION!!One of the only hobbies you can make so many mistakes, and lose so much money, and have so much fun doing it, but still be irritated an... | |
| Tube CDP/DAC sound: too "refined"? Well with my experience, most TUbe Preamps, or DIGITAL Tube based components as well have actually had more detail, and sometimes even more forward and strong so to speak.. SAme with many phono stages, a lot of the time the tubes seem to compress ... | |
| tube Watts vs solid state Watts By the way interestingly I have shut down thermally exhausted and or overheated several ample powered SS devices in my day :-) Never have I ran out of Tube power.. but again Tubes burn out due to they normally run 100% of their output at all times... | |
| tube Watts vs solid state Watts Dazzdax, simply put I think it has to do with a 200 watt SS will put out about 10 watts of good power at lower levels, and it is not continously putting out 200 watts at all gain levels. It switches into this high wattage in peaks..Class A tubes a... | |
| Spikes between speakers & stands, up or down? Yeah it seems that realistically what we are discussing here are simply the interaction via a different material vs. the actual design implementaion itself.. I would feel that a sound deadner sheet about an 8th inch thick flat under the speaker re... |
