| 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... | |
| Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review Veroman,To the contrary, they are very easy to drive. The 5 wpc tube amp had plenty of headroom. With my CJ amp, the volume pot on my preamp never gets past 9:00 to create a substantial SPL. | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Gents,I stuck my neck into the "Red Fuse" debate recently and it found it fruitless. This fuse "direction" debate is even more absurd. Lots of educated folks propound evidence that it is BS with AC current. All smart guys know that to be the case.... |
