| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 As popular as the Aleph's were/are, they weren't my favorite Pass amps (though I do love the industrial pragmatic look). FWIW, I found them lacking in dynamics. Keep in mind that you wouldn't be getting much more power into 4 Ohms than you current... | |
| Stupid speaker test question...please help a n00b Well Drew, I suspect that many of those who bought the relatively large percentage of high end speakers that have first order designs (most of which have garnered very favorable reviews along the way) considering that few companies (less than 10?)... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 I'm not surprised, but at least you absolutely know for yourself, nothing beats that. If you like Nelson's Class A offerings, but your power requirements and budget only allow for Nelson's Class AB amps, you might want to consider his older Thresh... | |
| Does anyone use a different cable for the neg run? I thought shot gun was when then amp side had 2 connections and the speaker side had 4 connections? | |
| Stupid speaker test question...please help a n00b IMHO, John Dunlavy built some of the finest loudspeakers, and he depended on tests more than most. He seemed to think that step and pulse response were particularly important. | |
| Floorstanders vs Monitors and bass response Generally lowering the cross-over point of the sub is advantageous in a few different ways. Usually the only disadvantage of a floor-stander is that the cost of building a a larger box with the same integrity of a smaller box, and the added cost o... | |
| Sonic improvement with Threshold FET 9 refurb? FWIW, here's a comparison of a newer higher end model Threshold FET 10 with an older model Audio Research SP 11 and a Klyne.http://www.stereophile.com/content/threshold-fet-10-preamplifier-page-2 | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I'm glad to see this bit of disagreement between two long time Audiogoners appears to have been remedied. When I asked Doug if he had actually heard the qol it was a sincere question, and I accepted his response as being just as sincere. While man... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Try as I might, I've never come to acquire a taste for Laphroig. | |
| Single Source Tube PreAmp? Are you looking for a line stage or a phono stage? | |
| Sonic improvement with Threshold FET 9 refurb? FWIW, as far as I can tell the differences between the FET 10 and the FET 10e is that the e series has a beefier external power supply with completely removable (and possibly upgradable?) umbilical cord, a set of XLR inputs and outputs (though nei... | |
| The best used, high quality moniter $1000 budget Thiel SCS? | |
| Please help me understand I think it's quite possible that some test equipment can be more accurate than the human ear in some specific regards. I think that on some level, it might be advantageous to be able to evaluate one set of senses with alternative ones. I think it'... | |
| Benefits of brand synergy (1). Using the same brand can offer freedom from technical incompatibility, take full advantage of "brand features", and possibly eliminate a better performing specific component(s), double up on brand coloration's, and possibly provide symmetry i... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Douglas_schroeder, is your post based upon actual use with the "qol", or on preconceived philosophy re: all optional devices in the audio chain? |
