| Omega Super 3 owners - what amp are you using? I just got a pair of these, and am considering the following:Almarro A205A (mk ii has headphone output)Decware Zen Triode (only 2 watts) or Taboo (EL34, rather have EL84)Bottlehead SEX or StereomourMost of these are pretty low wattage (2-3 watts).... | |
| Parasound JC-1 still one of the leaders? I also was not impressed with the JC-1's. To me, they sounded somewhat dull and lifeless compared to the other amps I was playing with at the time: VTL tube amps, Bel Canto, even Bryston... | |
| Planar Speaker Placement A little off subject, but I found a significant improvement placing diffusors on the "front" wall behind dipoles. | |
| Volume Settings on Squeezebox Touch and other ??? Has anyone played around with an equalizer plugin for the Touch? I wish SB had one built in, but they don't.I think Audiojedi is right about the volume function. | |
| Looking for a compact speaker w/ some low end kick Very impressed with both Dynaudio C1's (amplification by Gamut) and the Totem Ones (Mani 2's are even more bass powerful, but I prefer the balance of the One). Both require a lot of good clean power. Few integrated's likely fit the bill. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Where are they available? | |
| Amp not enough power Am I reading this right? You are within 5% of spec. If that is the case, what are you worried about? | |
| Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl Also call Audible Illusions. Why would the low filter on your preamp function so much differently than the KAB. Find out the rolloff frequency for both. | |
| CONNECT internet music souce to hi-end Do you have a digital source? Do you have a DAC? If you have a DAC, and can get internet into your listening room (wirelessly or via CAT5), you can get a squeezebox device and stream whatever radio stations you like (and Pandora). The Squeezebox T... | |
| Speaker Choice Help for a Jolida 102b I would recommend the high sensitivity Klipsch speakers, like the Heresy or Forte II. I've heard these speakers with an EL84 amplifier (Leak 20) abd they sounded quite good. I'm sure it would power la scalas too. | |
| Balanced vs Unbalanced? One question about balanced and amplifiers. I know sources and preamps need to have true balanced topology to make use of balanced's advantages. Is this true when the signal reaches its final stage of electronics - the amplifier? Or is this where ... | |
| Listening off grid with batteries Rugyboogie - I'll have to keep my ears open next time I get up that way kayaking! Maybe I'll be able to hear your system from the water! I've not been up in your parts exactly, but nearby off of Vancouver Island. Looks beautiful up there. | |
| Listening off grid with batteries I looked into this long ago - started a thread - way back though. Since most gear converts AC to DC internally, I always wished I could just use the DC from the batteries to directly power the gear - get rid of the sine wave altogether. I'm not su... | |
| wilson sophias to monitors Really Tvad and Tpreaves -Do you really think he can't get as much satisfaction from the right pair of monitors AND get satisfaction from his relationship? | |
| wilson sophias to monitors I've been mighty impressed by the C1's with Gamut amplification. |
