| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers That explains it! I was confused. It seemed like @atmasphere might be talking to me, but I wasn't sure. I was jealous of the answer @sonetduo was getting! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Tore Brunborg - Slow Snow on Qobuz. Norwegian jazz - atmospheric, fuzz guitar laced, sometimes bordering on dissonant ambient."'Slow Snow' explores the shift between intimacy and detachment, tension and lightness, surreality and reality, utilizin... | |
| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers @atmasphere curious what you think about the idea that a preamp with relatively modest 10db of gain (Microzotl MZ2) paired with the SIT-3, itself a low gain amp, might be contributing to the issues I’m having with the SIT-3. Is that likely to be a... | |
| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers You guys are making me jealous I can't get more out of the SIT-3 in my system!My speakers are 95db efficient and are 8 ohms. I tried dropping resistors in parallel to reduce the impedance down to 4 ohms but honestly didn't notice much of a differe... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Nesrine - “Nesrine” on Qobuz. Franco-Algerian singer, cellist and songwriter Nesrine Belmokh.There is a fun cover of Can’s “Vitamin C” on this album, worth checking out. | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. I’m only slightly ashamed to admit that I recently bought a Schumann frequency generator, albeit one of the cheap models. I’m always willing to be wrong, and hey, I bought it, but it does seem to me to be one of the more scientifically dubious tw... | |
| Subwoofer for nearfield Omega Compact Alnico Monitors setup @doraymon I understand. The T/zero is a good unit for its size. Good luck with it! | |
| Vfet / SIT Amplifiers I recently acquired a First Watt SIT-3 and I like my F2-J much better. I know I am in the minority in not loving the SIT-3.It may be that the SIT-3 doesn’t like the impedance swings of my particular speakers. Not saying it’s not a good amp, just ... | |
| Subwoofer for nearfield Omega Compact Alnico Monitors setup @doraymon: I have both the T/zero and the T/5i, and would have to recommend the T/5i. I bought it precisely because the Tzero, while performing well for its size, just doesn’t go low enough to really satisfy with the Omegas. It’s a 6.5" driver and... | |
| Subwoofer for nearfield Omega Compact Alnico Monitors setup I recently paired a REL T/5i with my Super Alnico Monitor XRS, and while it took some effort to set it up, I am now pleased with the integration. I have the crossover and volume set super low, and the effect is to give a subtle but perceptible "li... | |
| Subwoofers with current source First Watt? Just to close the loop on this after hearing back from Nelson Pass. @imhififan was right, actually, although I agree that we should be careful not to generalize about First Watt topologies - but like the SIT-2, the F2 is a phase inverting amp, and... | |
| Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members I just had a listing where I got multiple offers from different users that had the same address, but each with incomplete or partial names. It was very strange and they felt like scam offers. I declined them, of course. I've been selling here f... | |
| Audioquest DBS System I've used Columbia RCAs for the past three years or so and never had to change the batteries; I do check them occasionally. There is nothing you need to do to turn the DBS "on"; if the batteries aren't dead, it's working. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Sonkei by the Ronin Arkestra on Qobuz.A Tokyo-based Japanese jazz collective... "futuristic beat-based music with echoes of ’60s spiritual jazz and ’70s fusion"Sounds great! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Stanley Clarke’s original motion picture soundtrack for "Halston" on Qobuz. My god, there is some audiophile ear candy on this record; and it will give your subwoofer a chance to show that it’s working!An eclectic mix of styles, from straight jazz... |
