| Zu Essence vs Devore Nine vs Maggies Go for the Zu... 60 day return your out shipping only if don't like them for the 2 months time. Any amp will drive them fine, they are far less finicky about high or low power, and have a very high impedance like 16 or 12 ohm so no problem there. ... | |
| To mod or not to mod, dac is the question Oh boy exactly the point read Jp1208's post, 6 units modded! I made the digital path mod choice mistake once... Never again, as a matter of fact I have built my own digital from the ground up now to save money and time and really do understand wha... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil So then north creek on the woofers, Duelund on the mids and tweets sounds like the most dynamic presentation. Obviously there are advantages to having "more power output" or efficiency to your large 15" woofer if your using K-horns with the north ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Acoustics, by the way this plays a HUGE part in what your hearing. First off running one speaker in one corner at time, lets imagine your cranking your stereo and a channel goes out, blows whatever.. What does this sound like? CRAP regardless how ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I made a mistake this process would not even be really "Mono" but half of a signal! Half stereo missing many things on recordings that would be on the other channel. So this makes it even worse to evaluate stereo recordings as you are if I underst... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Again I have no idea how you can evaluate each component like this in MONO, yes you will get FAR better effect with every cap and inductor in stereo pairs on any speaker. Thats why to me a lot of this was a throw away thread, I am sorry. Until yo... | |
| ATC SCM 11 Vs SCM 19...Need immediate suggestion Anybody know what ATC is using for cabinet materials? And the damping material internally? I would suggest buying the better speaker, more resolving, the better the match of the amp quality will have to be however.. This is what the above problem ... | |
| SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ? Not warm and euphonic? Throw a stone and hit one! 99% out there in SS are the character you want... So the shorter list is to stay AWAY from these :McintoshMcCormackMonarchyMarshMark Levinson(*most of them anyway)BellesYep pretty much everything w... | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 ByegollyFirst off a 10 dollar transport today could be as good as one that was 300 10 years ago.. they all are mechanical mechanisms and could fail. Lasers in older units are far worse than todays as well in most cases. But back to your SACD dilem... | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 ByegollyI don't believe SACD can go thru most machines COAX or Optical... Its not a PCM or whatever format, meaning it would have to be converted out of its proprietary format DSD anyway. Not many stand alone DACS do SACD, nor does it matter, beca... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Mostly Hi end audio multi or otherwise suffers from Environmental effects.. Fact is if you can get a 2 speaker system to work well in a single room environment, chances are adding speakers to that space from 3 other different points and angles in ... | |
| Audio Research LS-7 LS7 upgrades suggestions For 300 to 400 you can jam some nice caps in the critical spots and do some diodes, with fuse, new power cable, very easily Probably can do it well under 200 if you are able to do it pretty easily yourself for sure, somebody might mod it for you ... | |
| Audio Research LS-7 LS7 upgrades suggestions Don't know if Diodes would be simplest, that is a pretty tedious and small component in the power supply to remove depending on how good you are with soldering and cleaning the board etc... I am not familiar with how difficult it will be in your u... | |
| Audio Research LS-7 LS7 upgrades suggestions -Caps - 30% increase or just different but not better-Diodes - 30% increase-Fuse - 10% increase-Damping chassis etc... 2 -5% increase-New footers - 2 -5% increase-Power cable - 5 - 10% increase-Replacing Potentiometer with like a TKD or better tha... | |
| Can you lower gain requirements on tube amp? Dump the TVC for a true active preamp with good impedance specs. That will solve it the fastest, and probably cheapest at this point, plus add some missing dynamics and body which is why your looking to do this all in the first place!Good luck |
