| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? Going with the Franks. Should complete the purchase in the next week or so. | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING I don't think so. The CD5 has a digital out, but I don't think the CD2 does. Have to check. The CD2s does have a digital input.Not so sure on the amount to spend on a TT setup to get the same sound quality as the CD2. I just bought a Clearaudio TT... | |
| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? Coltrane, I look forward to see what you think of that amp. I really liked it. Great looking piece, and I like the idea of EL34 driver tubes for the 300B power tubes. Unfortunately, it's not a match for me. Spoke with Ian Grant. Seems like a great... | |
| Subwoofer placement Thanks all. Went through the "put the sub in the listening spot" trick, and it's a corner placement that's best. That's where it is now, and it's quite a big difference from the former center placement. | |
| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? What's the cost on the Yamamoto amps? Anyone listened to the Grant Fidelity A-534B? Has received fantastic reviews, and is very, very reasonably priced.It's very tough to find a used pair of Frankensteins out there. Just don't see them. Owners mus... | |
| VPI service problems Interesting. Glad I switched my TT purchase from VPI to Clearaudio at the last moment yesterday. | |
| What is different between S.E.T/push through amp For that kind of money, you'll likely be getting a Golden Tube Audio or Dynaco amplifier. Both are good values, but need upgrades to perform best. GTA amps were notoriously poorly built, but the upgrade kits make them sound pretty nice.Keep in min... | |
| To all tube lovers....... Rowland or Krell. Both have gobs of power, high current and can drive anything. The newer Rowland ICepower amps sound a bit like tubes....tough to go wrong with them, since you get such tremendous power in a very, very small package. Can place the... | |
| Room acoustics how ? My image is not centered Another vote for "Get Better Sound" by Jim Smith. Easily found here and on the web, well worth the money.Might want to cover the brick wall with a comforter or something...same with the glass.Bring your speakers a few feet of the back wall as well... | |
| audio aero vs ayon cd5 I believe the CD2 also has a built in preamp. | |
| the preamplifier built in the ayon cd5 is great? Tosses a fair amount of heat. Not like an amp, but it definitely gets warm over the vents. Ayon claims the tube life is 5000-10,000 hours. | |
| the preamplifier built in the ayon cd5 is great? Thanks for the reassuring comments. I was very concerned that as I pushed the volume on the CD5 that I was going to badly overdrive the amplifier. It does seem quite linear rather than front loaded. At low volumes, you don't get much bump from the... | |
| the preamplifier built in the ayon cd5 is great? Doug, some of Wig's stuff I think comes from some e-mail communication with me. I have the CD5. To this point, I prefer using my EAR 868 preamp instead of the CD5's built in unit. With the gain set on "high", I still have to push the CD5 volume co... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? D amps also have much smaller power supplies, so some may lack in the ability to deliver a lot of current. Hence, despite high "power ratings," some may struggle with difficult to drive loads. | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? Stringreen, can you explain that issue a bit more? |
