| Herron VTSP-3A Interesting thread. I've been eyeing the VTSP-2, though, that is in my short list with the Lamm LL2, First Sound Presence, and Joule LA-150, to be paired with a McIntosh MC275. Any thoughts sound-wise from experienced Herron owners who have also h... | |
| Room treatment success story Interesting thread. I've been doing a fair amount of reading on accoustics and I'm now building 2 16"-diam. x 6'-high bass traps a-la John Risch to be placed at the corners behind the speakers (dynamic speakers). Next, I was thinking of adding sel... | |
| Entry level CDP Garn,I have not heard these units so I cannot comment, but seeing that you are not getting replies here go my very humble 2 cents (of a yen??): I have a Rotel RCD-1072 and like it a lot. I've had it for 5 years without any isues whatsoever.What's ... | |
| LAMM LL2 vs. Hovland preamp Hey Kublakhan.I have not heard these, but I've been also researching preamps similar in some ways to the LL2. Apart from the LL2, my short list is made of (in no particular order): First Sound Presence, Atmasphere MP3, Joule Electra LA150, Conrad-... | |
| Best Amp for McIntosh sys.- MC252, MC402, or MC501 I totally agree with Jim. The 252 would work. The 402 would be great and more than enough power. The 602 would be like the 402, but even more. The 501, in my view, would be too much money spent on amps for those speakers,I would add a question for... | |
| vibration controll Hi there. I don't know about what you are asking, but in case you don't get replies try posting this under the "Tech" forum as it is where these issues usually are posted.Horaco | |
| Best integrated for BW802? B&W 800-series are liked by many with McIntosh, Classe, Rowland, Levinson amplification. I drive my 804S with McIntosh MC275 which is a great tube amp, but I think doesn't have enough power for your 802. BTW, since it's an "oldie" I assume it'... | |
| B&W suggestions - N803 vs. 804S FWIW, I own 804S and at the time of purchase I also auditioned 803S. The difference was just some more bass extension and didn't justify the price tag for my room. Note even the 803S isn't full-range either, so I'm running my 804S with a REL Storm... | |
| Tube preamp output impedance at low frequencies Lamm LL2 has an output impedance of 250 ohm nominal, 245 ohm for mid/trebble, and 3300 ohm at 20 Hz as noted in the Lamm website. So this would confirm your point. Since Lamm posts this on its website, you might want to ask them directly. Clearly ... | |
| High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes I'm digging into some tubed preamps in this price range two, so my two cents:XLR & RCA: Aesthetix CalypsoXLR only: Atma-Sphere MP3RCA only: Lamm LL2, First Sound Presence, Audio Valve Eklipse, all very good performers in bass and dynamics.FWIW... | |
| Denon 3806 + B&W 803D....amp suggestions??? B&W 800-series are generally liked with McIntosh, Classe, Rowland amplification. I own 804S and McIntosh tube amp and love it, but it's clearly not your uncle's cup of tea.With such good speakers I would go with McIntosh MC402 (SS, stereo amp)... | |
| McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1? I believe Rwd is referring to Nsgarch when he says Neil. He is indeed knowledgeable about the 275.I also have a 275 mk IV (I love it), with rolled 12AX7 and 12AT7. These signal tubes are said to have the highest impact on sound quality. I have not... | |
| MC275: do you use RCAs or XLRs? Why? Interesting. Coincidentally there was a thread this weekend over at the Mc forum on this topic and several folks also prefer RCAs. So I guess I'm not ruling off some RCA only preamps.Also interesting because one would think avoiding a tube and the... | |
| Integrated for B&W CM7s? FWIW, I used to have B&W CM4 (the previous line) with Rotel RB1080 amp and RC1070 pre and sounded very good to me. I later discovered B&W aluminum tweeters work really well with tubed amplification, again, to my ears (and now with B&W ... | |
| step up from rotel? 52tiger,As previous posters said, more info about the rest of your system, what you are trying to improve, etc would be helpful.Here's a thought, though: I had B&W CM4 with Rotel RB1080 + Rotel RC1070 pre and Roted CD player (my first system) ... |
