| JL Audio F113 --- Loud Buzz --- ??? --- Bizzarre What model Surg-X did they recommend? | |
| B&W 802N I had 802N's recently with a tube preamp and 500wpc amps with wattmeters. They were unimpressive at low volumes and don't open up 'til 50- 350 watts. These like current. | |
| Are tone controls worth a second look ? The McIntosh MA6900 integrated with tone controls, removes them from the signal chain when in the zero/12:00 position. That's a good implementation of tone controls. | |
| Need help finding atypical integrated amp Manley Stingray II | |
| Aftermarket power cable for power conditioner? Now I'm nowhere near as smart or as good with audio adjectives as most of the b*llsh*tt*rs here, but wouldn't that be adding a tone control to a tone control? | |
| Revel Ultima Gem 2's paired with 2 JL F112's In textspeak, NSS. | |
| affordable DAC for rock/metal Cambridge DacMagic fits into your system nicely and the sound improvement will be remarkable. | |
| Power Cords "Upgraded" from stock to Wireworld Aurora 5 squared power cords on my McIntosh MC501 amps and PSAudio PPP. Didn't make one bit of audible difference. PC upgrades are a waste of money. | |
| High-value ICE offerings or Ayre V3, ARC 100.2 How about Levinson for your Revels?My first choice from the current products would be the No. 326S preamp and the No. 532 amp. My first choice from discontinued products would be the No. 380S preamp and the No. 336 amp. | |
| Best speakers for 15X14 ft room A ton of absorption and a pair of Revel Gem2's and a JL F112 | |
| Other than music, why are you an audiophile? I've always enjoyed Experimentation...... but audio Experimentation doesn't destroy brain cells or risk exposure to communicable disease... ;-) | |
| Used Rega Planet or Apollo vs. affordable PC audio RUN DON'T WALK from used Rega lasers. | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? Porter Ports?http://www.porterhouseaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=72 | |
| Revel Salon2 owner: What amps are you using? MC501's. The Salon2's are wonderful at low volumes, they give up nothing to monitors but they like watts when they're pushed. | |
| Upgrade from Revel F52's Save another 3k and get a pair of used Studio2's. I went from F52's to Studio2's to Salon2's. The biggest incremental gain was from F52 to Studio2. |
