| Looking for Integrated Amp for Dynaudio 1.3 MkII's I had the Bryston B100SST and to me the Naim XS and Octave V70SE just destroy the Bryston in every way. I traded in my Bryston for the Octave. Both the Naim and the Octave are high current integrateds and the Bryston is not. That being said I foug... | |
| Looking for Integrated Amp for Dynaudio 1.3 MkII's Don't know about the NAD but the Naim XS w/HiCap really made my C1's sing. Great match up. Supernait is also great. That being said I came extremely close to getting the supernait but then I heard the Octave V70SE tube integrated and that's what I... | |
| good monitor speaker for a large room Forgot to mention with the S25's you really want the stand4 to attach them. I would also fill the posts with sand to weigh them down. | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor "Minimum" Power? As long as you have a high current amp you should be fine. I came close to getting the SF auditor m's but then heard the Dynaudio C1's. My C1's are rated at 85db and previously had a Bryston B100SST (180w @4ohms) and it sounded pretty darn good to... | |

| 116v from the wall socket? My input AC varies from 119 to 127. | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? Sub bass should not be directional. You should not hear where it is coming from when set up properly. It may take a while to get it right so be patient. | |
| Fake Cardas: Myth or Reality? There were a lot of Nordost counterfit cables for a while too. | |
| Backing Up My Ex HD Problems.... Can you browse into the ext drive? If so then you can see what is there and delete what is old or un necessary. | |
| Tube Rolling - Any tips or caveats - Should I A-B test different tubes, swapping in/out quickly?1 - I would not swap tubes quickly especially NEW/NOS because I have found they need a couple of hundred hrs to break in.Can I mix & match brands, or NOS vs. New etc...?2 - If you ca... | |
| Isolation transformer My Topaz is a 2.4KVA and I did not see any taps to adjust the voltage. BTW the Topaz Is a balanced output with a whopping -146db in common mode rejection (neutral to ground)(forget what normal mode was). I used a clamp on amp probe to measure the ... | |
| Speaker help - short list needed I have the new C1 sig (a bit beyond your budget) and the esotar2 tweeter is the sweetest smoothest I ever heard. Even The esotec/esotar tweeter is very smooth that are in the models Excite 12/16/32's - Focus 160 - Contour S1.4 would be in your bud... | |
