| Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 Reference amplifier? I'm giving this a bump because I'm also interested! | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Just order them from a place with a 60-day return, and figure to cost of return freight into your long-term investment in the sound you want. This way you’ll really know. That’s what I did. The trial is up next week but I’ll be keeping them, which... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I found that putting them on Herbie’s Giant Gliders really evens out the frequency response and cleans up any muddiness in the upper bass and lower mids. Tiny changes in positioning--like a centimeter or less--in any direction also change the soun... | |
| Your favorite OCC speaker cable I'm a big fan of OCC. In the past two decades I've owned Harmonic Tech Pro-9, AZ Satori, AZ Hologram II, and, currently, Audio Sensibility Signature. The AS Sig is by far the best of them, IMO. I auditioned some Audio Envy cables a year ago but fo... | |
| TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ? That was English. Chaucerian Middle English. You can tell by how it scans, the alliteration and caesura. Get literate! | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna I'm not an Upscale fan. Apart from the dubious provenance of the rectifier I mentioned earlier (and the even more dubious explanation offered by Kevin), I don't like their Prima Luna hustle. I called recently to ask about some speakers and was pit... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Once I bought a rectifier Kevin advertised as a Holland-made Amperex. He was hyping these tubes at the time as the greatest ever. When I got it I checked the etched factory code on the bottle and guess what, it said it was from Barcelona. So I ema... | |
| Should Class A Amps be left on?? If your Class A amp doesn’t have a standby mode, turn it off over night. If it doesn’t sound good enough 30-60 minutes after powering on, or into Class A, get another amp. | |
| New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp opinions and experience @bananaslug , thanks for comments. I look forward to hearing more about the UL as it breaks in. I've been torn between trying it and the 40Ref. Nicholas at LTA seems to think the latter would be better for the speakers I have in mind for it, Cornw... | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it I still play my Nak BX-300, bought new in 1985, and it sounds terrific. Have fun! | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? I’ll add that other mats I like are the Sakura graphite "The Mat" and the thicker Funkfirm Acromat. The former is laudably neutral although less dynamic and immediate on transients than the TTM; the latter has excellent dynamics, similar in that r... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? I have the TTM mat (thanks to Albert) and matching Oil Damped Stabilizer for my SP10R, and I bought the Micro CU-180 to compare. IMO, there’s no comparison. I found the Micro to sound colored and slow by comparison, so it quickly departed. | |
| New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp opinions and experience @bananaslug , I'm curious what you think about the LTA Ultralinear compared to your Eaton 2A3 amp on your LaScala. I'm running a 2A3 amp on Cornwall IV. While the sound is wonderful at lower volumes it runs out of gas a bit when I turn it up. The ... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @dbarger Look at the variety of amps people are using on these! I just ordered a Kingko KA101Pro, 12 bargain watts of EL84 push-pull goodness out of Hong Kong. Should be fun! I guess this means the Cornwalls are staying :). | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @simao , yes, as jayrossi said, Moth Audio has been closed for many years. It was a quixotic partnership (literally, out of Hollywood), ultimately unsustainable, that produced great sounding amp-art that looked retro-futuristic and fantastic, like... |
