| Odd length speaker cables I agree about NOT coiling the wire. Consider a Z/fanfold instead. As far as lengths you may want to go to a home depot and pick up 42 ft of cheapest wire you can find. That way you can cut 2 18ft and 1 6ft length and try that to see if you hear a ... | |
| Anyone own Nordost TYR or ODIN? Rhmmmm - Nice amp and speaker combo. I too have the V70SE w/black box and Dyn C1 Sig's (upgraded from the originals). Are you using the stock tubes or have you done some tube rolling? Did yours come with the EL34's - 6550's or KT88's? I've done a ... | |
| Is it all in my head? B limo - I had a similar experience when I upgraded my cdp from a Yamaha CDX1030 to a Meridian G08. I was talking with a friend (who had a much nicer setup) and he suggested stop comparing every few min. He said I was used to the Yamaha sound and ... | |
| Anyone own Nordost TYR or ODIN? Polk432 - How do you like the pARTicular Novus semi suspension rack? Any problems with the TT on it. I have the full suspension version. Love the looks too and I only get compliments when people see it for the first time. | |
| Can you guys recommend some decent in-walls? Dynaudio has some nice in wall speakers. Be forewarned that they like power.http://www.dynaudio.com/int/home_loudspeaker_systems/installation_products/ip_24.php | |
| Anyone own Nordost TYR or ODIN? Wow that's a huge jump from the Blue Haven. When referring to the Tyr are you looking at the original or Series2. The series2 are very different and according to my local dealer the series2 is more 'Odin' sounding. Me I have never listened to the ... | |
| Mitsubishi Pre's and vintage tube amps Hi Serge I drive Dynaudio C1 signatures with it. Sounds fantastic!! | |
| Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5 Jeff When I was looking to upgrade my Bryston B100SST I inquired about the V40SE (40W) and it wasn't available. A V70SE was and after 5 min of an in home demo I was sold so I bought it. Later as the V40 became available I asked to borrow it. The s... | |
| Dynaudio Excite X12 4ohms If I recall correctly the X12's are a little closer to 6 ohm than 4. As far as bi-amping ALL Dyns only have have a single set of binding posts | |
| Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5 Jeff - I have the Dyn C1 Sigs and I drive them with an Octave V70SE. The Cary should have no problem with the Dyn's should you ever consider them ;)Michael - Great write up | |
| Mitsubishi Pre's and vintage tube amps Wow my brother in law still has a full Mitsubishi stack (tuner - pre and amp). Not bad but has since upgraded to Bryston then Pass Labs. The amp was sent in a couple of times for repair (bad relays) but the pre and tuner still work just fine. Wish... | |
| How can do you extend the life of your tubes? I have read slightly under-biasing the output tubes will extend the life. Does it affect the sound? Yes in my opinion. That being said with most of my tubes I have to 'squint' to hear it. Another thing when the unit powers up you should let the tu... | |
| Top monitors 3K - 6K range Michaelkingdom - Are the C1 originals or MKII/Signature? Like I had mentioned earlier the originals are great but sound their best at higher listening levels. MKII/Sig sound a world better at low to mid listening levels. | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? Put Octave on your list if it is in your budget. They have a protection circuit that even if if a tube decides to show you a lightning show no other parts will be damaged. I'm speaking from experience. I've had 2 tubes that thought it was the fort... | |
| Best AQ speaker cables for Unico and Opera? Since your looking to buy them from nice try why not just listen to them in the store and make your decision? Used is the way to go but be careful about counterfeits. |
