| Using both the Balanced and Unblanced inputs I tried that with my Octave V70SE and with the SE everything sounded right but the balanced was distorted. I was connecting a Meridian G08 to the Octave. I was trying to compare se to xlr without having to touch the cables and having both cables c... | |
| KT66 vs KT90 KT90's have a lot more power. I don't have KT66's (I do have EL34's) and I do have a quad of KT90's and they do have power. More power that my 6550's or KT88's. | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C1 Signature? From what I have read is the crossovers have been upgraded along with the internal wiring. They also added a new coating to the esotar2 tweeter.There is also a Confidence mkII. It comes on standard finishes and is priced at 7500. The signature has... | |
| getting file onto usb flash drive The USB key is several gigabytes, and I normally use it on my Windows machine so I assume it is FAT32.Use the disk management function in administrative tools to verify the formatting. It could be NTFS for fat32 has a 4gb limit in file size. | |
| Best integrated amp tube or hybrid up to $7000? Put an Octave V70SE on your list for a tube integrated. That's what I have driving my Dynaudio C1's. Of course try to demo one to be sure. | |
| XLR and RCA interconnects in the same system? In my opinion NO. In my system I prefer rca's. With XLR the gain is too high for me but the soundstage is just a hair wider. Just my preferences. | |
| Any experience with Signal Cable for REL sub? Macdadtexas Sorry just saw your post. Nordost will make the cable to rel spec for an additional $35. They will make the rel spec for the baseline or ic but not like a shiva or vishnu power cable (bummer). It is a special order. | |

| Speaker cables for Dynaudio C1 Elduende14I did a direct shootout between the Jps S3 and the Nordost Frey. The Jps were very good but I did hear 1 flaw. The deepest of bass notes were muddied. Just to be sure I brought the cables to my local dyn dealer and heard the same in a di... | |
| Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl I'm using a single Rel B3 with my Dyn C1's. The time alignment/phasing is the trickiest part. Took me about a year to get it right. I had thought of adding a second sub but now I personally don't feel the need for it especially now the timing is r... | |
| RCA cables silver,gold or copper whats better? My preference is silver plated copper (because that is what I currently am using). I will admit though the different manufacturers do not always have the same sound characteristics with a given type of wire. In other words I have heard both great ... | |
| Integrated tube amp Octave V70SE or V80. They have a pre out but not a pre in. Both have HT bypass | |
| Integrated or speakers Speaker first. I made the mistake by upgrading my integrated before the speakers. Although at the time I had no intention of upgrading my speakers I was quite happy. Once I found THE speaker for me it turned out that my integrated wasn't bad but n... | |
| Dynaudio Focus 220 vs 110 or 140's I would put the Excite 32 or 36 on your list. | |
| Driving Dynaudio Focus 220 IIs Personally my first word of advice is to stop looking at specs (I know that in some cases that's all that available when no dealers are around). That being said I am not familiar with either amp you are looking at. All Dyns love good clean current... |
