| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? Hifiman,I have the Platinum-upgraded version of the DNA .05, but when I recently heard Don Sachs' KT 88 amp, I was flummoxed... it has vastly more three-dimensional sound, no question, and a potent LF response, that did not expect in comparison to... | |
| Digital, Low Mass, ClassD, Less expensive, Let it happen! I abandoned tubes amps (HK CII and CV) some years ago, but having heard a very fine 65 wpc KT88 tube amp recently driving my OB speakers with a 12 ohm impedance, I am swinging back in that direction. Of course a tube amp is de rigueur, in my opin... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Ricky,Excellent point. I have recently become aware of the implications of speakers' impedance, which can be a different aspect of performance than simply considering speakers' sensitivity/efficiency (I can never remember the difference between t... | |
| My first Tube Amplifier Great thread, fun to read of others' journeys through tube gear. My first tube amp was a Harman Kardon Citation II, which got fully renovated. Then did the same for my HK C-V. They sounded wonderful, but I got tired of the heat they produced he... | |
| Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review Sweet! I have smallish room and Clayton waved me off to the M3's, feeling the M4's would be more room appropriate. If funds allow, consider the better LF response of the M3's, but Clayton will let you know the best match for your room. Cheers, ... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Tomcy6,I did speak with Carver, but it would be more informative to hear from folks who have experience with the amp in their systems. I will report my impressions of the amp in due course so at least we can get the ball rolling. Jim Clark tells... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Don offers only one amp; the descriptors are synonymous. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Roger and George,Thanks for the insights into the 6SN7 tubes in preamps. I have a tube preamp that uses 4 of these tubes, along with a rectifier, and have upgraded from NOS Sylvania and GE tubes to both the Psvane CV181-T and the Shuguang CV 181-... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Roger,I recall you saying at Burning Amp a year ago that you did not like 6SN7 tubes in preamps. I have a preamp that uses these tubes and it is the best I have ever heard in my system. What is the problem with these tubes from a designer's stan... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Ozzy,I am really keen to see how it sounds, after being away from tube amps for many years. My Spatial Audio speakers have a 12 ohm impedance which clearly mates well with tube amps. Thanks for the response. | |
| don sach's custom kt88 tube amp Wig, Lucky you... I am 50% of the way there. :-) | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Jaynmo,The M4 Turbo S speakers which I first had had an impedance of 4 ohms, which of course was a poor match for my flea-watt Dennis Had amp. However, with the M4 Triode Masters, Clayton has modified the speaker to present a 12 ohm load, much mo... | |
| Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review Mktracy,There are lots of blog reviews of the Spatial Audio speakers to inform you owners' impressions of them. Your amp and preamp are, in my view, simply stellar and a fine match for the speakers. If you room can accommodate them, the M3TM are... | |
| Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review rjhd and mktracy,Here is the latest from an M4TM owner who upgraded from the Turbo S speakers. I haven't held on to a pair of speakers for over a year for many years, but I have had the Spatial Audio speakers now for 2+ years and I fancy them mor... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Like most tube amps, higher impedance speakers are better matched to Don's amp. If your speakers dip below, let's say, 4 ohms, then I think it would not be the best match. With my 12 ohm Spatial Audio speakers, the bass is reproduced extremely we... |
