| Raidho speakers with Audio Research Tube amps I have. I love the tweeter and the soundstage is truly spectacular. They are tough for room placement because of that side firing woofer. In the right room they are brilliant. You probably need a room that is 20' wide to have enough room to ... | |
| Standmount speakers with Line Magnetic 518 SET amp? I designed my speakers (Verdant Audio) with a different brand 845 (Art Audio Quartet). Literally what final voicing was done with. They are intended to take full advantage of the massive soundstage and extraordinary detail you get from an 845z. ... | |
| Cant find much info on Art Audio Vinyl Reference Phono Fair...the K&K Vinyl One was not built quite to the same standard as the UK built Vinyl Reference. The circuit is better on the Vinyl One but was made using less expensive parts to hit a more appealing price point. The parts on the Vinyl Ref... | |
| Cant find much info on Art Audio Vinyl Reference Phono I am the newish importer of Art Audio (in year 2). The Vinyl One was made by K&K in the US more than 10 years ago to keep costs down. K&K no longer has a relationship with Art Audio. The Vinyl Reference was discontinued when Vinyl One p... | |
| Putting speakers next to other speakers Go to any audio show to see (and listen) to speakers placed next to each other. Staggering is key and the speaker on the inside will be at a disadvantage. You will hate moving the speakers around and making fine tweaks in the dozens. It takes m... | |
| Raidho speakers with Audio Research Tube amps I had a buddy who had an ARC LS26 and amp (I forget the model) with Raidho C1.1s. Great combo. Raidho makes great speakers. Room placement is critical. They need 2’ minimum from back wall and 9’ between them. If you get side firing drivers, p... | |
| Speaker manufacturers or box manufacturers with off the shelf drivers? This is fascinating. I am a small speaker manufacturer and drivers to me are one of the thing that stressed me less. There is a lot of work that goes into choosing the right driver in terms of testing with your cabinets and materials but there a... | |
| Parasound JC3+, or Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista Vinyl phonostage, or Whest Audio PS.40RDT SE @twoleftears Yes. ProJect did buy Musical Fidelity. The line as it stands reflects what it looked like prior to purchase with the exception of the reintroduction of the M6 Pre and M6 PRX Power Amp. I expect in the near future we will see change... | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? I have found there are a lot of “screaming tweeters” on the market. One writer and photographer from a publication literally said they were relieved when they walked in my room at AXPONA. I am am not sure that it is hearing loss that leads manuf... | |
| Parasound JC3+, or Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista Vinyl phonostage, or Whest Audio PS.40RDT SE I am a huge fan of the MF. Nice product and if you need fully balanced circuitry, not sure you can do better. The only unit I like better is the Art Audio Vinyl One but it is not fully balanced. My system is single ended so the MF is not the be... | |
| Tube Amp recommendation for Wilson Yvettes other than ARC VTL will offer the right amount of power and is regularly paired with Wilson. That would be my choice. I had MB-185s paired with other speakers and was happy. I don’t need that much power and am running 45w 845 based mono-blocks now. | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers The Art Audio PX-25 is 5w and is brilliant with Zu speakers. The PX-25 is an interesting sort of "goldilocks" tube which is in the middle between a 2A3 and 300B. It is not quite as detailed as a 2A3 and the midrange is not quite as lush as a 300... | |
| Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000 Assuming you are looking at floorstanding speakers, there are a couple pairs of used Raidho’s out here. They would be at the top of my list though you do need to have the right room for them. All Raidho’s need 3’ of space behind them and 9’ of s... | |
| Repair for n Art Audio Jota in Los Angeles? Hrodman,sorry to hear you are having an issue with your Jota. We don’t have an approved service center in LA, I do have one in San Jose. It is Scott Frankland Associates. Happy to provide you a phone number and e-mail address. That being said, ... | |
| Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else? I was having issues with my Carver and it needed to be re-soldered. After about 15-20 years, you want to have any electrolytic caps replaced. The service on my Carver was $400 and it sounds like new. The reality is, Carver was probably not as we... |
