Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm Thank you :) I don't see any means of messaging you via the forum. My email is audionut at gmail dot com | |
Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm Pavpet, may I come over for a listen? :D | |
Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm Response34, I do hope your post wasn't directed at me. Charles1dad is right on the money, I wasn't claiming anything as the best. In the context of what I have heard (and I do have a pretty substantial amount of experience with high quality rigs o... | |
Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm Thanks, Charles1dad. My wife, knowing how much I enjoy music and by extension - hi-fi, has said that if we could swing it sometime in the future, I should go for it. I don't hit the bars, my social life is rather sparse if one could call what I ha... | |
Best integrated amp for Harbeth SHL5s How about the EAR 890? 70W and bridgeable to 140. The pre can be bypassed if required in the future. 70W would be wonderful with the SHL5s (which I own) and if you ever grabbed a 40.1, you could add another amp without changing the sound, but prov... | |
Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm Given the sensitivity of your speakers, a definite yes in the bass department. You are working with over double the power out of the gate (18W/ch vs. 38W/ch). The power is immediately apparent with speakers that require it. The bottom end has more... | |
Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm F1a, apologies for the delayed response. Having heard the 211 and 300b monos a dozen times if not more and the Sapphires at least double that, I can say that in Roger's system, all else being equal (meaning everything literally):Sapphires - the 18... | |
Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm I'm a lucky one. I have heard all of Roger's amps including the newly made 300b Ruby. Actually, I only heard 1 monoblock driving both speakers and it was still better than his two 211 Rubies. To my ears and all of that. I have been fond of the 300... | |
How to get iTunes to play FLAC The best solution is to use software other than iTunes if one isn't dependent on it for some reason. Many software packages offer Airplay if that is important. I have most of my library in FLAC but a good portion in AIFF. AIFF is a nice solution a... | |
Ayon CD5S vs AMR 77 I have heard both and they are, in each in their own way, excellent. I have 100s of hours of experience with the 77 vs 10s of hours, so the comparison has a weighted bias; however, even so, I prefer the AMR. Its build quality is outstanding and th... | |
Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... My insurance company will cover the full replacement cost for each CD I own if it can be sourced. I had this specifically outlined in my policy before signing. The same goes for vinyl. They will not insure 1's and 0's on SSDs and HDDs. Not yet at ... | |
Which cost more: your system or your car? Kiza does that mean you now only own smart audio electronics? Mine haven't yet achieved sentience but they've been designed by smart folks so maybe they are in the middle.My audio system costs most than both my cars, but my cars are 12 and 10 year... | |
XLD ripping slowly You can turn off the error checking options, but that defeats the purpose of using XLD in the first place. If you want quick ripping I suggest you use iTunes and engage its very modest error correction. XLD will do wonderful bit perfect rips and c... | |
How many got back into vinyl post divorce? I like Mofimadness' response, hopefully tongue 'n cheek, but if not...I got into vinyl WHILE married. In fact I am still married, and to the same fine lady! About 5 years into the marriage, knowing before hand that I was very interested in music a... | |
