| Need advice from OTL experts point well taken sean...my admiration for the succesful otl designers is rather obvious. | |
| Elect. EMC-1 Mk II vs. Audio Aero Capitole Mk II ? There is no fat ripe bass on the mk1 and if their is its not coming from the mk1 but more likely the amp/speaker synergy.The reference 3a decapo plus vtl amp is producing organic bass not FI bass. | |
| Need advice from OTL experts Could it be that many manufacturers lack the cojones to market OTL'S because it is a niche with fewer wallets...hmm. | |
| Is it worth it? Try the reference 3a decapos.As is almost always the case the best are rarely vocalized and go unnoticed by the masses here at audiogon.They are remarkably live sounding, not hi fi sounding so you will have to look pretty deep inside yourself to a... | |
| Cable length Great post sean,the speakers I use, decapo i's,have virtually no crossover so I believe the resistive load my push pull class ab tube amps see is quite low which is why my volume setting never gets passed 11:00 o'clock.The little vtl tiny triodes ... | |
| Cable length We are talking about nano seconds of difference in electrical signals and until someone can validate the human brains ability to differentiate these miniscule packets of information I would prefer to put a small pillow behind my bald head and chan... | |
| Cable length Thank you shawn for laying to rest what I consider to be the latest hallucination in audio interconnects.Simple electrical properties awareness will validate your observations.I use 25ft runs of speaker cable and there is no sonic difference betwe... | |
| Any small monitors that dont sound thin and bright DECAPO I'S WITH GOOD TUBE GEAR AND AWAY YOU GO | |
| neutrality vs. realism There are some wonderful comments here and I want to posit a few thoughts.There is a simple way to check "real" in your room in your home.I assume some of us own and play acoustic instruments or can go to acoustic house concerts in there cities an... | |
| Are silver coated cables a bunch of hype? May I second the cogent responses of twl and also say that the pro silway is a fine example of silver copper done right.The qed silver anniversary is very inexpensive,about 3.00 dollars a foot and represents to me a way of testing the sonic signat... | |
| Are silver coated cables a bunch of hype? So far(only 20hrs. of break in)Twl's comments are unequivocally correct.CAPITOLE MK1 PRO SILWAY MKII INTO VTL MONOBLOCKS TT25'S INTO DECAPO I'S LATEST VERSION.QED CABLES SILVER ANNIVERSARY are quite bright but it may be singing a different song tw... | |
| aurios isolation and espresso Thanks thsalmon I will give it a go.I forgot to ask what power cord others might be using for their machines. | |
| Great Small Speakers w/ high WAF? reference 3a decapos.. will be available in a couple of months in different wood veneers.Righteous sound at livable cost. | |
| What the Hell Happened? How dry was your room? try making sure the humidity level is at least 40-50 percent in the room.Sounds like wicked static build up.Add lots of plants... large indoor varieties and of course regularly water them.I think this might be the problem. | |
| Looking for a great tube headphone amp Before you buy a tube headphone amp consider the GRACE 901.This is the amp used by the best engineers extant and what they final master what you wind up listening to yourself.At 1300 retail, not cheap but when I am listening to my HD 600'S sourced... |
