| Balanced or not for interconnect Recently I did a comparison between rca and xlr Nordost Frey ic's in my system. If I 'squinted' or really listened carefully I noticed a slightly better sound stage with the xlr's. That being said that wasn't enough to make my decision to buy them... | |
| Replacements for Dynaudio Floorstanders I have to agree with most of the responses here. The Krell should be replaced. Naim has great synergy with Dyn's. But since you are asking what speaker would give you more warmth I would second the Sonus Faber followed by Vienna Acoustics. If you ... | |
| Replacement for Nordost Cables in my system? My experience is both the red dawns and blue havens are bright but not harsh. The heimdalls are a great value and really tame the brightness. Me I settled on the freys. | |
| Wiring an Isolation Transformer Wired balanced will cut the VA rating in half.....NO IT WILL NOT. What you will see is 60V between ground and neutral and 60V between ground and hot. You will have 120v between neutral and hot. I have the 2.4KVA version | |
| Dynaudio C5 and Cary CAD-805 AE is possible????? As a Dyn C1 owner (85db) I just bought an Octave V70SE and even with el34 tubes it has the CURRENT not watts which Dyn's do best with. Considering the Cary is class 'A' I think you'll like it. Mine is push - pull @70W with Kt88 and approx 49w with... | |
| What causes speaker cone to extend when... Does it happen with any other source? I gave away my Thorens turntable many years ago because of that problem and others. I will admit though it was because of the record being warped or an off center spindle hole. | |
| Anybody tried KT120 tubes on Conrad Johnson amps? Great question John and I don't want to hijack this tread but I would very interested in any ones opinion of the TS KT120's and in which amp (mainly because it is such a new tube and I am also considering them). | |
| Totem vs Dynaudio Some but not all Totems use Dynaudio drivers (just wish I remembered which ones). That being said Dynaudio will not sell a current production driver to a manufacturer. They will sell older drivers but more importantly they still have stock for the... | |
| WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS? I heard that clock with an Esoteric SA-10 and was amazed what I heard. Everything was much clearer/cleaner. I only heard it for about a min before the salesman said oops - the clock and player are out of your price. | |
| Subwoofer connection to integrated Me I personally crossover at 32hz when my speakers are rated to 45hz. I kick the volume up when doing that. With your eyes closed you can't point to the sub or speakers. For me if I crossover at or above the speaker rating I hear the subs location... | |
| Adding Sub to current system I have a Rel B3 with my Dynaudio C1's and getting the phasing right is the tricky part. I have mine crossed over at 32hz (C1 rated to 45hz) and the gain up and there is no BOOM here. Honestly I will say if the phasing is off and or crossed over to... | |
| Pass Labs XA60.5 with Confidence C1 Ok - my last comment. I understand regarding with wanting to stay with Solid State. My favorite electronics is the Burmester separates but way out of my budget. Currently I'm running the EL34's in my V70 and as long as the Rel is on it's my favori... | |
| Pass Labs XA60.5 with Confidence C1 Mr SoftDome/DynguyI too would love to hear the Pass XA60.5 with the C1's but have no dealer in my area. That being said I still think you should demo the Octave V70SE with either the SED 6550's or Gold Lion KT88 re-issues.OctaDyn_Dudeps If you hav... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? My Dynaudio C1's. Especially since I replaced my ss integrated with tubes (Octave V70SE). | |
| Best amp for Dynaudio Confidence 1 or Contour 1.4? You want something with high current. I have an Octave V70SE for my C1's. Naim is another good choice. |
