| Pass Labs x150.5 question I would think so. Dynaudio likes current not necessarily watts. An example is a Naim Supernait rated @ 80w or an Octave V70se rated at 70w just killed my Bryston B100 rated at 180w @ 4ohms or the Bryston 3bsst. I'm using the Octave with my C1's. | |
| Tube amps and speaker matching My Dynaudio C1's (85db) is being driven by an Octave V70SE (70w @ 4ohms). The Octave beats the snot out my Bryston B100 rated at 180w @4ohm. I can't explain it but the tubes to me have more control and power and can be drive those C1's as far as t... | |
| Two things about tubes I have a tube integrated and it is silent. Mine will play music within a few seconds of powering on but it does take about 10 - 20 min to get fully heated up and sounding great. Oh yeah for what ever it is worth my speakers are 85db. | |
| Addiction to Brand No although it would take a great no killer deal on something else to replace my Dynaudio C1's or Octave V70SE. OK maybe yes with those two. | |
| Cables – Speaker as well as interconnects – ugghh Personally I didn't care for the neutral ref ic's. Both the high and low end were rolled off. Mids were excellent but that was all. Both my son and I prefer Audioquest king cobra over the NR's. Since then I've changed to Nordost. You may want to c... | |
| Any difference between tubes. Also some (not all) guitar players want the tube in the amp to distort early or at lower volumes. I would not want that in my amp. That being said some guitar amp tubes I've seen state you can specify when they distort (may be referred to as soft ... | |
| stupid question about sources, amps, and loudness I had a similar problem when I use balanced ic's. Except I could not even get to 11 o'clock which is why I bought the rca version.As far as tube power I had a Bryston B100 rated @ 100w into 8ohm and 180w into 4ohm. My speakers are Dyn C1's rated a... | |
| question about VirtualDynamics Reference PC What are the voltages between neutral and ground and hot and ground. Don't forget neutral to hot!! In a balanced configuration (like my isolation transformer) you get (assuming 120V) 60V between neutral and ground - 60V between hot and ground BUT ... | |
| question about VirtualDynamics Reference PC You get the same result if the ground is completely open too. Have you checked all wires for continuity? | |
| question about VirtualDynamics Reference PC Sounds like neutral and ground are reversed | |
| Klipsch Heritage Series The heritage series is what really put Klipsch on the map. Many Klipsch owners swear by them. Me I swear at them. My son started with kg 4.5's then moved to the klf20's and now the klf30's. They are very efficient but extremely forward in the mids... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? but the sense of spaciousness, air,This may sound a little strange but when I was auditioning speaker cables in my home I found the Nordost Frey's gave me just that. In fact my first impression with the Nordost was they seemed to be thin and lean ... | |
| How can a 40 watt amp outshine a 140 watt amp Schipo I only have 1 problem with Mr Clarks conclusions. That being he may have been comparing 2 very closely types of amps. I would like to see the results of comparing something like my Bryston B100 and my Octave V70SE. To me there is no compari... | |
| How can a 40 watt amp outshine a 140 watt amp I had wondered the same thing too and found that current means more than watts (rarely do you see current in specs). I had a Bryston B100 rated at 180w @4ohms. I did buy an Octave V70SE rated 70w @4ohms. The Octave is tubes which is different than... | |
| Power cable shutting amp down I agree with Lewwhite. A short in the cable would cause your circuit breaker to trip first. So if not under warranty I would try and tightening the connectors at both ends. |
