| Dynaudio Contour S5.4 or Confidence C2 I personally prefer the confidence line. I own the c1's and demoed the C2's in my home. If I could afford the upgrade I would do it. The confidence series is more open - detailed with a better soundstage (both in width and depth) in my opinion. I ... | |
| Fuse blown on RB-1080 with new pair of DynAudio's Maybe see if you can find a higher quality fuse than the rat shack type. There have been a couple of threads regarding the quality of those fuses. Stick with the same amperage and voltage rating though until you can determine if its just an amp pr... | |
| Totem Model 1 Signatures best speaker cables I agree with your observation regarding the red dawn speaker cables. I recently had the chance to borrow a nordost demo case (for 6 weeks) which had the blue havens through the freys. What I noticed was as I moved up the line was the high end soun... | |
| Tube blows Amplifier fuse....causes? I sent the tube back to the manufacturer's agent and they say it tests fine. They will replace it though.Did they test it on a tester or in a real circut that may push it to the limit? Testers rarely test at different maximum loads.Is the bad tube... | |
| Bridge integrated amp and amp Personally I would get a pre and sell the integrated. With my Bryston B100 I used the pre out with a 3bsst amp. My integrated got hotter than normal. I figure with no biasing on the amp section of the B100 it was powered on at full out. On the oth... | |
| Bass: Dynaudio Confidence C2 vs Contour S5.4 As a C1 owner too I'm considering upgrading to the C2's for some more of that Dyn bass. Currently I have a Rel B3 and although it integrates well it just isn't that Dyn bass. I would say when I demoed the C2's in my home I got a lot more bass than... | |
| Anyone using battery backup For computers I have had good luck with Tripp-lite, Apc, and Liebert. Of course I would not use any of those for audio equipment. Battery replacement is a consideration when looking to buy one. Apc is the easiest I've worked with so far. | |
| Totem The One or Dynaudio Contour S1.4 Last week I had heard the Naim 5i with Dyn Sapphires and later the super nait with the C2's. All I can say is I'm glad my dealer has carpeting or I would have had to to get stitches in my chin when my jaw hit the ground. Excellent synergy and very... | |
| White noise No unless you overdrive the signal. You may even notice after playing for an hour or so an improvement in the sound from your speakers. I use a full sweep 10hz - 20khz cd buried in the white and pink noise. In my system the change is very minor. | |
| Dynaudio Audience 72 vs. 72SE Whats different? I'm not familiar with the audience except I had some loaner 42's. They are out of production but found this on Dyn's web site.http://www.dynaudio.com/eng/systems/lines/audience/72se.phpEither should be just fine for your room. | |
| Krell SACD Standard: grinding CDs prob.solved OverhangFuses ares pieces of wire designed to blow/burn when the current is overloaded for its rated specs. I have heard of fuseistors (resistive fuses) but never have seen them in use (I've been repairing computers for 34 years not audio equipmen... | |
| Krell SACD Standard: grinding CDs prob.solved Fuses are there for the protection of the electronics. The only way a fuse LIMITS current is to blow. I think something else resolved the noise/heat issue. For grins and giggles did you put back the 500ma fuse to see if the heat/noise issue comes ... | |
| Troubleshooting help please Sure sounds like the volume control. You mentioned it does not happen with your other preamp. Do you have a second system you could put the questionable preamp in. That would tell you for sure if it happens there too. Have you tried maybe spraying... | |
| Esoteric DV-50 or Meridian G-08.2 CD Player?? I agree with Kennyt. I had demoed the Esoteric sa-10 and found that poorly recorded cds sounded terrible but the good recordings were great. I think that's why Kennyt has both players. Me I went and bought the G08 (can't afford both but wish I cou... | |
| And the "Best" Dynaudio monitor is...? As a C1 owner I would say yes. Contour s1.4's and Special 25's may have a tad more bass but to me both are also more forward sounding with a tad more 'punch' but lack the transparency - imaging and detail that the C1's have. You pay for it also. E... |
