| Line conditioner or voltage stabiliser? Thanks for the suggestion. I do not want to be rude, but I clearly stated that I CANNOT IMPORT ANY POWER CABLES/CHORDS/EXTENSIONS etc. It is simply both cost prohibitive and will not work here where it is 220V/50Hz.Regards,X | |
| Coupling vs. Decoupling for Bass Response Hi There,I am not sure where you would get it in the US/EU, but from what I read on Audio Asylum you should be able to easily order it on the net. Here things are slightly harder to come by, so I had to go to an industrial manufacturer of numerous... | |
| Coupling vs. Decoupling for Bass Response Sorry for not responding earlier, but I seriously suggest paying a visit to the audio asylum boards. There you will find a recipe for DIY platforms in numerous shapes, forms and sizes, but the predominant ingredient is PEF, aka closed cell polyeth... | |
| Jumpers vs bi-wire Hi Guys,I have a bit of a tricky question for you guys. I have just got a pair of Monitor Audio GR-60 speakers. They come with gold metal plates to connect the binding posts together. However, in case you do not know the speakers, they are TRIWIRA... | |
| Which amps for Monitor Audio Gold Reference 60's? Hi again,Just some quick questions: in order to run the speakers in do I need to:1. run them at normal listening levels or can it be lower?2. how long can I run them in at a stretch for? 4hrs, 8hrs, 12hrs? I wouldn't really want to leave everythin... | |
| Which amps for Monitor Audio Gold Reference 60's? Hi There,Thanks for your responses! The budget is a bit of a dicey one since I need to see if my older, unused amps will be sold (I have an ad listed for my Electrocompaniet EC 4.5 preamp). Also it is pretty much useless giving you a budget since ... | |
| Will this amp suffice? Hi Guys,Most people have said that the 50W from the Shanling is more than ample due to the efficiency and other ratings of the Monitor Audio GR-60s (the speakers I finally decided to purchase). However I have the opportunity to purchase at a very ... | |
| Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions One more questions: has anyone here had experience with the Paradigm Signature S4? They are only coming out here in around 2 months but I wanted to check if anyone has heard them in the US/Europe. How do they sound in comparison to others?Cheers,X | |
| Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions Yes I was thinking about that more and more Greg - there is a guy here called Gunther Steinhart, makes a brand called Steinhart amps. They are actually quite fantastic (perhaps ther are people in the UK that know his amps as he has started exporti... | |
| Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions Once again, the problem is that there is limited availability here. Thus the Green Mountain Audio speakers are not available. I have heard the same thing about the Audes Blues which are not available here and I am in the same position: I do not th... | |
| Why tube amps are rated so low, still don't get it Hi There,I'l be honest with you - Shanling is not available here. I tested out the CD Player when I was overseas and fell in love with it, so I imported it specially. The tube amps I will thus not be able to test. | |
| Why tube amps are rated so low, still don't get it Hi There,The speakers are not 100% certain yet. I am busy deciding (will decide this week) which ones I will go for exactly, but the top two candidates and their specs are as follows:Monitor Audio GR-60Frequency Response +/- 3dB 28Hz-30KHZ Sensiti... | |
| Why tube amps are rated so low, still don't get it Hi There,Thanks for the info! Is there any way in being able to estimate if the amps (Shanling SP-80) will be able to drive the speakers? What factors must I look at besides the speaker power handling and sensitivity rating?Thanks,X | |
| Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions Hi There,I do not mind it too bright. I may very well be moving to tube amps which I am sure will tone it down if need be. The main question is quality: how does it compare to the other. How does it compare to something like the N804's (I cannot g... | |
| Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions SOrry, here is a quick update. I made quite a lot of calls today to confirm availability, new pricing etc. and the end result is this: I currently have two choice:1. Monitor Audio GR-602. Elac 209 JetThe others are not feasible at the moment for v... |
