| Question About NORDOST cables Nordost has announced the Series 2 for the Norse lineup. With that there are plenty of bargains with the originals from authorized dealers. Musicdirect has some brand new ones for 1/2 price.I personally think you will be quite impressed with the H... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature Paul You are right where I haven't heard that many speakers. It was a short speaker shopping trip for me once I heard the Dyns. In fact the dealer that had the SF picked up the Dynaudio line AFTER I got my originals. When I got the Signatures I fo... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature Xti16, just because you did not heard other speaker that were more transparent than the C1 mk2 it does not mean that there aren't any. For example, all Focal Utopia monitor models (the Diablos probably have twice as much detail than the C1 mk2), B... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Forgot to mention the lesson I learned is in the future if I have any input or driver tubes go bad to have them checked out with any output tubes in the channel. | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Grayf I am fairly new to tubes also and enjoy tube rolling a lot. Friday night I had a real big problem. One of my Gec CV6091/A2900's went out and took a Ei KT90 with it (but didn't know it right away). So I replaced the Gec with my Brimar yellow ... | |
| Subwoofers location Like Tpreaves mentioned - where ever it sounds the best. The key is you don't want to know where the sub is located. I have my Rel about 6 ft to the right of my right speaker. Sounds great but most important I can't point to it when my eyes are cl... | |
| Grills ON or Grills OFF? It really depends on the speakers. When I had Dyn original C1's the soundstage really collapsed with the grills on. When I upgraded to the C1 Signature the soundstage doesn't collapse but if you 'squint' you can hear the highs get ever so slightly... | |
| Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations? Hi TomIt's Octadyn (George). Sonus Faber's Cremora auditor 'M' But I think you know my FIRST recommendation. Dyn C1 MKII. If not check out the original C1's. The MKII's are a little clearer than the originals but they play very well at lower volum... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature Also, IMO the mk2 version does not improves significantly upon the mk1 model '(if at all)'. Certainly not to justify the large price difference between the two models, i.e. almost a factor of twoYou are comparing new to pre-owned/discontinued pric... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Last the Ei KT90's used to be my least favorite output tubes. Only after swapping out the drivers (2 Rca 12at7wa and input 1 Sovtek 12ax7) with Gec CV6091 (military version of the A2900) and Rca triple mica black plate 5751 did I really start to l... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature C1 mk1 is a marvelous speaker. Also, IMO the mk2 version does not improves significantly upon the mk1 model (if at all). Certainly not to justify the large price difference between the two models, i.e. almost a factor of two. Paul there is a diffe... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Grayf the Treasure Z's you are getting are supposed to be a very good tube. A big step up from the EH KT88's. Now I'll be honest I don't have or heard the Treasure Z's but from everything I've read they seem to be a step down from the EAT KT88 and... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 i`m kinda glad too! this tube rolling is getting expensive! i really musn`t order any more!Oh just wait until you start rolling vintage output tubes or try some current production EAT's!! Then just think of all the combinations with all the input ... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature Depending on room size and placement floorstanders can sound great but the can also overpower a room like mine. In my room the C1's with sub sound better than the C2's. Better imaging - sound stage where the C2's were a 'wall' of sound coming at m... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature .Xti my dream is exelent full range florstander and separates without subwoofer but cannot afford so in my opinion in this chase it would be nice to have sub with dyns to cover below 45hz for more lifelike sounding and with good integrated that ha... |
