| Let me know your choice please Just an FYI post...Thanks for those who contributed to this thread - it helped a lotI ended up purchasing a Bryston 135 integrated amp http://www.bryston.com/products/power_amps/B135-3.htmlMy "fears" of a clinical sounding amp have been put to res... | |
| New KLE Innovations XLR Cable ypingping - RE:...What is specification for special KLEI Neutrik XLRs?All will be revealed in time - we'll just have to wait and see :-)Regards - Steve | |
| New KLE Innovations XLR Cable ypingping - you misinterpret my posts...These response from Mr. Wonka confuse me. First Neutrik XLRs are specially modified for KLEI by Neutrik. Now it seems that Neutrik plugs are very good anyway, and justified as audiophile XLR. What I said abo... | |
| New KLE Innovations XLR Cable @ypingping - WRT...worried like me about Neutriks with nickel and brass in their constructionI assume you are talking about the important part - the pins?Looking at the neutrik web site will reveal that several models of their plugs do use silver ... | |
| Let me know your choice please To answer the two previous posts...My NAIM amp - has an annoying THUMP when you power up- seems to REQUIRE recapping about every 10-12 years at around $400So I used to leave the amp turned on (also a NAIM recommendation) to avoid the thump, but t... | |
| New KLE Innovations XLR Cable @maxima95 - A simple email to KLE Innovations revealed that Neutrik actually built the XLR plugs to KLE Innovations spec. So perhaps they were not as "cheap" as the original poster "suggested" ?And if I could find that out, why couldn't the PingPi... | |
| New KLE Innovations XLR Cable To other people reading this thread, both of the above posts are both very interesting...I have to ask - Has either of you actually tried these cables???If not - then exactly what is your motive in slamming a cable you have not tried ?If you have ... | |
| Simaudio Moon 250i Question @harry26 - I was at a MOON dealer today and he had the 240i inside a closed TV type of cabinet - it was quite warm to the touch, but not as warm as my old class A/B amp wasIs your amp in an open sided environment (e.g. a rack) or inside a cabinet?... | |
| What is a non-active pre-amp stage?? Are their advantages to this design?? @sunnyjim - Yogiboy might be right about the phono stage, but I have no problems with my Simaudio Moon phono stage which has an adjustable gain jumper in it.Passive "pre-amps" only attenuate the signal. Sometimes they have an intermediate "booster... | |
| Simaudio Moon 250i Question Many thanks for the feedback - much appreciated | |
| Recapping If, as it appears to be the case, heat plays a role, then surely it is better to turn gear off when not in use?e.g. Naim recommends leaving their gear powered on.... - Could this be simply to make it more convenient to their customers because they... | |
| What is a non-active pre-amp stage?? Are their advantages to this design?? @sunnyjim - I do not have the CJ, but I have a Naim 5i (Mk II) which also has a passive front end.Just as another poster pointed out - no active components, just a resistor ladder for volume attenuation and input selector buttons.When I heard the ... | |
| In your opinion ;Does using jumper cables have negative effect on the overall sound ? @garebear - I too prefer the Jumper solution and others that investigated further came up with some interesting findings...- The length of the jumpers should be at least 1/2 meter for best results- Duelund cotton/oil wires provide a more rube-like... | |
| KLE Innovations Technical Paper @ypingping - forceful advertising that a couple of members were been doing for this companyI guess I’m one of them :-)I admit I am not ashamed of promoting products from KLE Innovations in my posts. If only companies would produce products that pr... | |
| Van Den Hul Cables I've used the CS-122 and the D352, which I found provided better bass performance, but the gZero2 speaker cables (discontinued) from KLE Innovations out performed both by a considerable margin.I would try to locate some used gZero2 speaker cables ... |
