| SF AIDA OR EVIDENCE PLATINUM W MOMENTUM PRE & AMP Have you tried the C4's with the Dag's. That should give you an idea of how the Evidence would sound. IMO the SF will have a slightly laid back sound compared with Dynaudio's. Both are great speakers. Personally I prefer the Dyn sound of the 2. | |
| Tube Extenders I used the socket savers from the tubemonger for my output tubes (EL34 6550 KT88 KT90 KT120). Had no problems but I will say the female socket is extremely tight. Also the male pins are a bit thicker than some pins from new production tubes. I bel... | |
| Ansuz, Mainz D8 and cables Mordante I agree it will be a while before I get a second Mainz. At Axpona they used 2 during the demo. I have a friend who has 3 with a full diamond cable loom. But he also has Raidho D5's and Soulution amps. | |
| Ansuz, Mainz D8 and cables Add a second mainzD8 for even more improvement. You don't have to even plug in anything. | |
| Dynaudio c4 signature & c4 platinum difference Ricred1 - Actually the C4 MKII is the best value but the signatures have a nicer finish. MKII/Signture/Platinum all sound identical. MKII came with a 5 yr warranty and the Sig's came with a 10 yr warranty but not sure about the Platinum.Mechans - ... | |
| How important is the amp? Not familiar with the sound of your speakers but when I had the Dynaudio C1's I had a Bryston B100 and an Octave V70se. I could change tubes in the V70se to vary the sound from warm to very linear. The Octave although had less power it had more 'c... | |
| Scansonic mb serie Adding the Granite slabs will make them a little more forward sounding. If your speakers are on a hard surface the granite does very little except raise them by the thickness of the granite. I liked the granite when I had the D1's but not so much ... | |
| Dynaudio c4 signature & c4 platinum difference 10-08-15: Doug99From what i read, the crossover is different.Actually the crossover - internal wiring and a new doping on the tweeters was the MKII/Signature changes (and the finish). With the Platinum they only changed the baffle to all black and... | |
| Scansonic mb serie Jjue - Glad everything is just starting to come together. Yes I would try to track the hours. I would suggest your next step would be to replace the foam with paper (like paper towels or toilet paper [clean of course LOL]) after 250 hrs. That way ... | |
| Ansuz, Mainz D8 and cables Yeah my speaker cables are 5M. What was interesting was when I was demoing my original Nordost Frey vs Ansuz Ceramic. I heard very little difference flipping the cables in pairs. But then I tried 1 of each. That's when I noticed a big difference. ... | |
| Ansuz, Mainz D8 and cables Congrats. I would try just 1 power cord on your amp by itself. Use the other power cord on the MainzD8 and just plug it into the wall. Then add the amp to the MainzD8. | |
| Dynaudio Excite Vs. Focus.... After talking with Mick at Axpona earlier this year he was pleased with the partnership. The new owner was extremely impressed with the efficiency that Dynaudio had which is why he bought into the company. He planned on learning how they are so ef... | |
| Dynaudio Excite Vs. Focus.... Lowrider Dyn says sales are slow and maybe they are but IMO the Focus line up was an excellent value in the Dyn line up. I have a gut feeling they are going to come out with many new products too quickly which could really kill re-sale values. As ... | |
| Dynaudio Excite Vs. Focus.... Yes I found out on avs website (Dyn owners thread). Otto J is a factory rephttp://www.avsforum.com/forum/89-speakers/686371-dynaudio-owner-s-thread-894.htmlBeing a factory rep he isn't saying much other than a lot of new products. BTW I was also O... | |
| Dynaudio Excite Vs. Focus.... As an ex Dyn owner I can honestly say as you move up the line there is a level of performance increase. Not earthshattering but it is there. Maybe the point of diminishing returns but every little bit adds up. Is it worth it to you? That's a decis... |
