| Nordost Valhalla 2 announced Bo how about comparing to the NEW Valhalla2. | |
| Best Speakers You Have Ever Heard In Your Home The Raidho D1's as compared to the Dyn C1 Signature. Extremely clear and accurate sounding. Background is super black. Best separation of instruments and vocals I've ever heard. Imaging is pinpoint. The ribbon tweeter is super smooth. Plays really... | |
| Dynaudio C1 MK1 advantages over MK2/Signature After owning both the only advantage of the MK1 is they will play slightly louder. So if you listen loud all the time they are great. Like I've mentioned in the past the MK1 sounds best at loud listening levels which was my only complaint. I prefe... | |
| Best Speakers You Have Ever Heard In Your Home Dynaudio C1 Sig's until I got the Raidho D1's on Friday | |
| Ayon Triton or Spirit III with Dynaudio C1's As a Dyn C1 owner that has upgraded to the C1 Sig I have to disagree/agree with Bruce. I also had the Octave V40se - V70se and currently have the V110.That being said the original C1 needed to be cranked up (high listening levels)to sound their be... | |
| making power from kt120 tubes Both the KT120 and the KT150 are rated for a max of 800V on the plate. 6550 and KT88's are rated a max of 600V. I have an Octave V110 and the plate voltage is 540V for EL34-6550 and KT88 (producing 70W). For the KT120 I flip a switch which changes... | |
| New KT150 tubes? the KT150 tubes had rediculous bloom in mid and bass. But given time that all goes away.Funny that would be how I would explain the first 25 hrs with the KT120's. Kind of reminds me of the original Tung Sol 6550 solid black plates with deeper lows... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Btselect - My V110 came with a Sovtek 12ax7lps and the drivers are current production Tung Sol. I don't care fgor either of those tubes. Like I said before I did like the KT120's for the first 25 hrs. If you like bandwidth check out the Gec CV6091... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Booboobaer - How many hrs are you talking about? I found with the KT120's they took at least 200 hrs to settle down. | |
| New KT150 tubes? Btselect - Forgot to ask. When you compared the KT150's were they fully broken in? I ask because when my KT120's were new I really liked them. After 100 hrs I had to take them out. Too forward and a bit grainy. I loaned them to a friend who said h... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Btselect - Thanks for the info. I just wrote to Mick at Dynaudio to ask Andreas if the KT150's will be OK in the V110. Mick's response is Andreas is currently working with them in the V110. Makes me want to try them for sure. | |
| Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5 When I try different tubes I mainly listen for tonality. I will say when I first tried the Ei KT90 I was blown away how much bigger the soundstage sounded. My first impression was they sound like EL34's on steroids with the highs and lows the EL34... | |
| Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5 My V70se came with the Sed KT88's and I purchased a quad Sed 6550's and Sed EL34's from Octave. The EL34 sure have great almost magical mids but do lack in the the lows and highs. The 6550's are very linear and more detailed without missing any of... | |
| Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5 The biggest difference between the original C1's and the MKII is the MKII sound better at lower listening levels. But that being said I think the originals will play a little louder. The V40se will be fine. Which tubes are in the V40? | |
| ARC Vsi60 with KT120 valves - issues When I got my Octave V110 (designed for the KT120's) I loved the sound for about the first 30 hrs (a very warm engaging sound). After that they sounded too forward in the mids and the highs were a hair rough. After 200 hrs they seemed to settle do... |
