| Can the KEF LS50 rock? I have had a ton of monitors through my system in the past 10 years and the LS50's were my least favorite, notwithstanding their fine reviews. I found them to be harsh and very hard to drive. I have fallen in love with Dali monitors, very neutra... | |
| Dennis Had IFA-1 EL84 SET amp coming my way... A note to interest audiophiles. The amp sounded splendid with the JJ EL84 tubes, but I upgraded to Genalex Gold Lion EL84 power tubes from my tube guru, Jim McShane, and the amp yields even more sonic pleasure. Overall, the sound is a less congest... | |
| Dennis Had IFA-1 EL84 SET amp coming my way... Well, gents, I got the new amp yesterday, designated as the Inspire IFA-1. It came with new JJ tubes which I have found in other gear to be pretty decent. So, with 24 hours on his little 6-wpc SET amp, I am of the opinion that this amp is a migh... | |
| Anything you liked at the Newport Show? I couldn't make the show this year and am happy to read your show reports. I just got a new Dennis Had IFA-1 EL84 amp this week to pair with my Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S OB speakers (a match made in heaven!) and am happy to hear that at l... | |
| Dennis Had Inspire Fire-Bottle SET amp review Right on, Rob. I have been through a dozen speakers in the past maybe ten years and enjoyed all of them a lot, except for the KEF LS50s. Before the Holograms, I had pair of Linkwitz LXmini's, which in many respects were simply amazing -- very ho... | |
| Dennis Had Inspire Fire-Bottle SET amp review Mikirob,I have posted a review on Audiogon of the M4 Turbo's. As much as I like them with a SS amp, they are even more euphonic with the SE amp. I paired a REL T7 sub and they are very full ranged. If I had the room, I would have opted for the ... | |
| Dennis Had Inspire Fire-Bottle SET amp review JM, thanks for the correction, not that I can fathom the difference between triode and pentode. David, thanks for the fuse suggestion, but I have tried the SR Red fuse, and came to the same conclusion that Dennis has -- there is no sonic differe... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... You guys have it exactly right. These two recordings are as good as it gets. | |
| Why does my 35 watt tube amp draw 300 watts of power Gents,+1 to the cats that chimed in above, they have it exactly right. I have heard several Class D amps in my system and found them all dry and lifeless, although the newer variants appear to be better sounding. I heard a pair of Channel Island C... | |
| Need wiring diagram for Neutrix connector to REL T7 sub Wolf,BTW, you have some very rational posts on the thread about fuse directionality. I work with several PhD EE's and physicists and I have put this whole fuse business to them and all of them, to a man, thought I had rocks in my head for even en... | |
| Need wiring diagram for Neutrix connector to REL T7 sub You have better eyes than me, brother. The Neutrick diagram gave me the correct orientation. Take care. | |
| spatial audio M3 or M4 as an upgrade Hi Rick,I have had the M4 Turbo S speakers for about 6 weeks after having Linkwitz LXmini's and I am delighted with these speakers, but I can't give you a frame of reference to your Dahlquists. After having had box speakers for over 45 years, the... | |
| Need wiring diagram for Neutrix connector to REL T7 sub Hey Wolf,Thanks for chiming it. I got a diagram from Neutrik which helped me determine which was 1+, 2+, and 1-.... there are no markings on the plug to identify which was which. So, I got it wired up properly and am loving the addition of the s... | |
| My New Review of the Spatial Hologram M4 Open Baffle Speaker Lad,This thread is stale, but I thought I'd chime in as an M4 Turbo S owner with now about 200 hours on them and they simply wonderful. I hooked up my REL T-7 sub and it sure fills out that the lower octave in a way that makes the sound presentat... | |
| Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review Well, I listen to 90% acoustic jazz and some classical music. And a bit of blues. I found no deficiencies playing The Who "Who's Next". Diana Krall's voice sounds just right to my ears with the M4's. Thinking back to my Cornscala's (modified Co... |
