| Raven Audio Nighthawk That's how I feel about my Manley Stingray II. I like the idea of triode but UL just sounds better, more balanced. Same was true of the VAC 300.1a I used to have. | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Oz, do you prefer it in Triode or Ultralinear on your Cornwalls? | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated From all indications Jadis has upped its game, which was already strong, with these recent KT150 amps. I’m wondering how the newer KT120 amps like the DA88S compare to them. My sense, gleaned merely from reading around, is that the mids are still ... | |
| 1973 We even made a disco ball out of a Styrofoam sphere and pieces of a broken mirror glued all over it, suspended from a giant rubberband, and illuminated by three flashlights. Mid-teen stoner ingenuity! Cranking out a Pioneer SX828, stacked Advents,... | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated Thanks for the comments, guys.@hsw ,the I50 is on my radar, too. Are you in the US? Bluebird doesn’t have the KT150 integrateds listed on its site, which made me wonder whether they are available here.If I may ask, how are the noise floor and treb... | |
| Manley Steelhead Owners-- Line Stage Input Good Enough to Use as Preamp? When I owned a Steelhead, some 6 or 7 years ago, I always preferred it as a phonostage into a separate linestage. I used it with a Mac C2300, Bent Audio Tap-X AVC, VAC Phi Beta. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @ozzy62 I've been looking at that amp recently online. Looks very promising! Great to know it works well. Please keep us updated as you get to know it better. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV So, for those interested, here are the results in brief. Of course, this is all my room, which is 600+ sq/feet with hallways that fall back from the front wall corners, which means little bass reinforcement. Sources were all vinyl though tube phon... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV On the low-watt topic, I’ve been running my new CW intermittently with an old Moth S2a3 (modded with an external PS). Its 3.5w with Electra-Print iron sound quite good on these speakers, way better than on the Galante Silverdales (99 db) I’d been ... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @jjss49, well said. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I have new CW4 and my experience is much like dbarger’s. Mine have around 75 hours of playing time on them and they have changed dramatically from day one. The bass, which was initially anemic, has filled in; the highs, strident at first, have smo... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @jayrossi13 Are you on a suspended floor with joists, etc? The reason I ask is, I've had my new CW for a few days, situated on a concrete slab (covered by wood flooring glued down), and I have not been experiencing the bass boom and distortion you... | |
| Luxman LX-380 for LS3/5a's? Alternative? I can’t comment on the Rogers but I can on the LX-380. I bought one recently with the intention of using it on Cornwall IV, which arrive tomorrow. In the meantime, I’ve been playing around with it on other speakers, PMC IB2i and ADS L1290/2. I’m r... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @jayrossi13 Nice success story. You’re not the first CW owner I've read about who nearly gave up but ultimately found bliss. My CWs arrive on Monday, if YRC Freight comes through; I better brace myself for some serious travails. Good to hear the e... | |
| Why not more popular? I recently bought some well-regarded OB speakers with a return period. After a couple weeks, back they went. Just did not like the sound--not enough flesh and weight. OB fanboys may say it’s because my taste has been corrupted by old tech and nost... |
