| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? If you are buying a pair of headphones, you might want to know if the Prior owner uses hair gel or some other fragrant addition! Happened to me and it took several months to go away! | |
| Do you live in a rural or smaller area with no Audiophile Support Nearby?? Come on ‘ya prima Donna’s! If this is not helpful to you, leave it be. Perhaps it WILL be helpful to someone. | |
| what's a good Gan / Class D option under 3k? Nilai or Ncorex500? I haven’t loved Class D until I put GAN in my system (AGD Audion). Would love to compare with the Orchard audio. | |
| Considering a Backert Rhythm 1.4, talk me out of it I have the BACKERT LABS Rhythm 1.3 linestage and recently compared it to a Shindo Partager and preferred the clarity and dynamics of the Rhythm. I also like so much about its design: balanced and SE ins and outs, balance control, HT pass, mono sw... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! I spoke with Doug this morning about the S5.5 going into 15 ohm speakers with a sensitivity of 83 dB. He did not think it was a good pairing as it would be underpowered. He recommended the model 16 or 41 amplifier. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 Looks like the 096 impedance is 10 ohms.... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 And others…. How would the S5.5 work with a 16 ohm LS3/5 speaker (Falcon gold badge)? I know they like a lot of current, but is this enough power? | |
| Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant @wharfy Thank you David. I will check that out! | |
| Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant I just found 6 Mullard IEC 6922;s made in Blackburn, with codes such as B5I3. From what I gather, you can't tell the year of manufacture from this code, the second digit is the year and could be 1965 or 1975, Not gold pins. Any thoughts? | |
| Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant Hmmm... I might be OK. Looking through my collection I'm finding those listed below. It's just that I want to get the most of the system during this test to make the decision about cabling, so I don't want to mess around.... FROM VINTAGE TUBE S... | |
| Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant All the great tube sellers are on vacation this week, believe it or not. A perfect storm! So I probably need an alternative source. | |
| Best single volume guide to classical music @8th-note I think you might have found just the right balance. | |
| Best single volume guide to classical music @fredapplegate Thanks for the suggestion, but not really what I'm looking for. Want a book about the composers and the compositions rather than the performers. @goethe58 Looks interesting! Perhaps one can find the same referenced pieces on Qobuz... | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System I think the drivers are damaged. I am in touch with @audiokinesis and hope to resolve promptly. | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System @atmasphere For continuity testing, you are just saying make sure that there is continuity for each of the three pin/socket pairs, correct? If not, I have a broken cable. I can test, but I would be surprised to have two broken cables (2 Dayton a... |
