| Need speaker advice Have you considered a more beefy amp? Classical and rock are both pretty demanding IMO. Tektons are Really good rock speakers and are easy to drive but with 12 watts? Would probably sound fine at lower levels. Yeah you are correct... big gamble an... | |
| Lyngdorf with Maggies I would think the 3400 would be more appropriate with the Maggies. I don't know if maybe the Lyngdorf does not like low Impedence or hard to drive speakers but it did fantastic things with my Tektons with room perfect. Did not sound right at all w... | |
| Dedicated power Talked with my friend who is doing the wiring. We are gonna do 220v to a small box very close to where the outlets are going. This should distance the circuit even further from other crap on the lines and only cost about 50 bucks more to do. We di... | |
| Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed Are you doing any vinyl? If digital only you could add an RME ADI-2 dac. Very transparent tone controls and Parametric EQ. Schiit Loki is another good option. I have one for sale. | |
| Speaker suggestions under 4k Local Usher R1.5 is available on local Facebook marketplace. Any comments on this one. | |
| Dedicated power I talked with my electrician and local code is I cannot use 20a receptacle on 30a breaker so 20a breaker it is. Scheduled to come Monday. | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? So you think blatant copying is ok? Saying they are copying well respected expensive brands. Same s..t when I lived there. It all sucked. I think its BS .. | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? I lived in Shanghai for 5.5 years from 2009 to 2014. The knockoff bags, shoes, backpack, watches, etc etc all looked very good! But they were total and complete s**t! All of it. Some of the larger established Chinese brands are actually pretty goo... | |
| Dedicated power @erik,Run is probably a little over 30ft. Thinking closer to 40ft. | |
| Dedicated power Hmm maybe I will stock with single line. I guess other issue with 2 is it's a real bear to run these. I am in basement and where the fuse box is there is no basement under it (concrete). We figured out a way to run it but it is tight and the 2 lin... | |
| Dedicated power I'm gonna do 2- 10 gage lines with reasonable hospital grade outlets and be done with it for now. Ill look into the fancy fuses etc after the lines are run. Maybe check out the cable company and try out some cables after I get a better amp althoug... | |
| Dedicated power Well its a minimal expense running the second line and I figured having the digital and amps separated would be a good idea. I will read your link you posted. Will look into the orange fuse as well. As far as cryo wire and transformers prob not re... | |
| Dedicated power Hmm ill check into local codes on the 30a line.. I basically just want to be ready for anything I get. Parasound hca 3500 or Musical Fidelity kw500 I hear it is reccomended 30a and I am looking at both of those. Running a temporary amp Aragon 2002... | |
| RME ADI-2 direct to amp So some of this RME manual is over my head! The amp I just started using does not have a gain control. At normal daytime listening levels I am at around -50 on the digital volume control of the RME direct to amp. Am I losing bits like this? I thou... | |
| Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k The Octave integrated I heard was really good. If I was looking for a tube integrated that's what I would probably buy.If you change your speakers in the future to something less efficient the Octave will be up to the task. Ellington Hifi sometime... |
