| Gryphon Diablo 120 Which version of the coda 8 do you have? I know there are three versions with one being biased more towards class A, but then being having reduced watts in 8, 4 loads. I have version 1 with 18 watts of class A, and 150/300 into 8/4 ohms. Bas... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120 Thanks, it sounds like you did your homework. I would use a Coda #8 which should drive them handily. You can check out my virtual system. I am using KEF Reference One’s now and I really like them, but heard QLN’s at AXPONA this year and was smitten. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120 Full hijack mode now, I am curious what speakers you replaced with the QLN’s. | |
| Diving into balanced Go with 1 meter. Some are not super flexible and shorter cables can stress the connections. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120 Thanks. The QLN's sound like a good fit for me as well. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 120 Not to derail, but we think alike as I have a Zenith and a Merason and I am thinking about the QLN 3’s, interested in your impressions of these speakers. | |
| Wireworld Eclipse 8 interconnect - opinions please I'm trying the Eclipse 8 rca but it seems to be a bit dry and lacks dynamic, bass is too lean. Hmmm, not my experience at all with these cables, though I am using XLR’s. After 200 hours I would not expect much more change. | |
| Low Cost AC Regenerator @carlsbad2 This is not a regenerator. It is a voltage regulator. Sorry for the slow response, thanks for setting me straight. I assumed that because the units can step voltage up and down that the transformer is being used for regeneration. In... | |
| Looking for a true upgrade in sound quality A capable system indeed. Try the tweaks for the network, hopefully that smoothes things out. As for DAC’s I will second the Merason suggestion, I have a Reuss, very natural. | |
| Audience Front Row? I will be interested in your results, please post once the cable has settled in to your system. I am a big fan of OCC, it is plausible that it makes a difference. | |
| Putting together a used/new combo system. (Long) Given his tastes, skip the preamp and go high power integrated. NAD is great gear for rockers, I was one, and had one. I recommend a used NAD 375BEE, gobs of power, and darn good sound. If he wants higher quality sound he can bypass the pre later ... | |
| Solo streamer The Innuos Pulse series is a good fit, strictly streamers. I have had both Aurender and Innuos units and feel that the Innuos software is significantly better than Aurender’s. Sound from both are on par. Get the best one in that line that fits you... | |
| Preamp or DAC by the way could you tell me your favorite of the preamps you tried please. Thanks. Looks like Pass 12 maybe Yes, correct, the Pass XP-12 is my favorite to date. I will stick with this one for awhile. | |
| Preamp or DAC Nice system! I would vote preamp for sure. The May is well reviewed and well liked. I have a Coda #8 and tried the 07x, it was not my favorite out of the four solid state preamps I tried. Each one was unique and made a big difference, I think a DA... | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced Digital Cables I would go balanced if your budget allows for a decent cable. Anything you can do to coddle and boost that source signal is generally worth it. |
