| Which Rel subwoofer Taters - Personally I would go with a sub that goes the lowest. Especially if you are trying to get what the C1's can't physically do then consider a crossover around 36 - 38 hz. I think you'll find there are not too many recordings that go much l... | |
| Which Rel subwoofer I'm not familiar with either of those but I have a Rel B3. Great combo but I did replace the stock Rel cable. Better attack and decay. Which C1's do you have? Originals or MKII/Sig? When I upgraded from the original to the Sigs I had to cross over... | |
| is there a way to tighten pins in tube sockets? Consider the socket savers now. | |
| Integrated Amp for V.A. Beethoven Baby Grands My brother in law has those speakers and drove them with Bryston separates (3bst and bp25) and it sounded very good. I had the B100sst which is very similar in specs and sound. I even borrowed my sons 3bsst and didn't notice any difference (using ... | |
| is there a way to tighten pins in tube sockets? +1 for the socket savers ONCE the pins are tightened. I got the ones from the tubemonger and I will say the sockets on the saver are real tight. I had a loose socket where the bias would drift and lost some pretty expensive tubes as a result befor... | |
| Dynaudio C1 and Pass amp Since you have the Signatures that amp should be OK. My Sigs worked just fine with an Octave V40SE (40 watts). | |
| EL 34 Amp Recommendations Meant to say consider those features. Found a V40SE here but a bit over your budget.http://app.audiogon.com/listings/tube-octave-v40-se-integrated-amplifier-black-finish-amazing-2012-11-24-amplifiers-60154 | |
| EL 34 Amp Recommendations I haven't tried a tube amp before so this is new territory for me.Consider an amp that can use more than just EL34's (good start IMO). Also consider that with an auto-biasing amp if there are more than 2 output tubes you should really stick with m... | |
| Monitors that play huge Nice choice. Did you order them in Mocha or Bordeaux? I assume that you are getting the stand4 also. They make a difference. If you need to 'tighten' up the sound you can fill them too.That being said they will sound good out of the box then get v... | |
| Monitors that play huge C1 require more power,opens at louder volumes while the s1.4 is not so picky abaut other componentsThe C1 MKII/Signatures play great at all listening levels unlike the originals and don't seem to need as much power (rated the same). So in my opini... | |
| Ayon Spirit III - switching 2 broken tubes Personally I would keep the V1 & V4 tubes WHILE ordering another quad. I've had tubes arc over and they usually work for a while. I mean the longest I've had a tube that arced over last for is 4 months before it finally went to tube heaven. In... | |
| SS Amps for C4 Signature II's Rower30 - Which Octave did you listen to? Also did it have the Black box or super black box attached? Black box makes a real nice difference. Lower noise floor and a hair more forward.Hey our tastes in amps are different but if you have the opport... | |
| Dynaudio focus 380 Vs paradigm S8v3? ? HELP Bifwynne - I'm familiar with both Dyn's and the Paradigim Studio 100's. Honestly I never heard the S8's but since you mention some folks say tipped up highs and too detailed - I get the feeling they would be more like the Dyn Sapphires or S25's (d... | |
| Would a subwoofer sound better? I'm happy with the setup but was wondering if anyone has added a subwoofer to the Auditor M's and how does it sound?It will depend where you cross it over. I have a Rel B3 with Dynaudio C1 Signatures. Personally I cross the B3 over at 34hz (C1 rat... | |
| how do i get more bass w/o adding a sub Well I'm not familiar with your speakers but have you tried putting the speakers as close to the back wall as possible? Maybe more or less toe-in.That being said I just recently had the Nordost Norse Series2 demo case of cables. I currently have t... |
