| How can a 30 watt, 28 year old amp sound more "05-14-13: Ddd1I have an amp that would eat that NAD for lunch, but I would rather not mention the brand. Hope that helps."You are what you eat. | |
| Why the difference? I just now had a look at your system. I used to have the exact same vinyl setup you have and know it very well. Getting back to your original post, are you having some type of problem, or looking for some more specific info? If you are questioning... | |
| Why the difference? The most likely explanation is that the TT mayby spinning a little fast. Rega is known for this. I would try a speed control device. If you call The Cable Company, they should be able to send you one so you can try it in your system before you com... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 What kind of electronics do you guys use with your Avalons? The reason I ask is that the founder/designer of Ayre used to be with Avalon. Right now I use Ayre myself and like it very much. I can't help but think that they would be an excellent mat... | |
| Does the Audioquest Dragonfly work with Linux? Thanks for the reply. I've been holding off getting one until I find out if it will work with my OS. Quite often, with USB devices, they work with other OS's than what is listed. I figured if I asked AQ, they may just say no because thats what the... | |
| Aleph 3 Buzzing noise Jameswei is right, Pass does have a good service department. One of my 0's burst into flames one day when I turned it on. When they gave it back to me, it was perfect. Never caught on fire again, either. | |
| Has any one heard Kimber over audio quest? Mik971,The warranty comment was mainly meant for Elizabeth. If the insulation in her cables went bad, they would have definitely replaced them under warranty. Otherwise, you mention AC's. I agree with you on that. AQ power cords have never done an... | |
| Krell KST-100 I didn't realize I may have made a mistake until I saw Rrog's post. All my comments were about the KSA series. I didn't realize we were also talking about KST as well. I don't remember listening to the KST's so I can't comment on them. | |
| What's with 4 ohm speakers? "The statement is ambiguous. We know that doubling power is 3db, and that there is or should be a direct correlation with driver output. Since this is so then driver output is also proportional to power."Wouldn't you have to take other factors int... | |
| Driving Magnepan 1.7 "zd542funny, when I bought my Maggie 1.6 I compared them to Vandy 2e Sig and easily preferred the Maggies. Way more open sounding."Its unfortunate, but I can definitely see that happening. I have no idea why, but most audio stores don't take the t... | |
| Advice for a two channel amp "$1K for amp and turntable? So the integrated amp has to have a phono stage too?"A couple of things to keep in mind if you are approaching TT's from the perspective of a DJ. I believe most DJ style turntables take a different kind of cart. They do... | |
| Driving Magnepan 1.7 I'm about to make a lot of people mad. The only reason I'm even posting here is that I've had Vandersteen's as well and did a direct comparison. I was always curious about Magnepan so I went out and bought a pair of 1.7's and had them for about a ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 Who cares what someone else says. You would be nuts to buy speakers that expensive without listening to both of them first. Maybe you won't like either one. | |
| Wood glue method of record cleaning Tommyboy65,"It's funny, once the topic of wood glue is brought up, you get the typical snarky responses from people like Zd542, who know absolutely nothing about it."Thanks. I take that as a compliment. No ones ever called me snarky before. The na... | |
| Question on Gallo Reference 3.5 Its an interesting question. Your 4 is a very powerful amp and should drive your speakers easily (even without the sub amp). Going with a larger Bryston may give you a little better sound but I'm not so shure it will be worth the cost. It may make... |
