| Best Class A amp with SLAM Oh, pardon - it seems the Grand Slamm's can't be run in bi-amp mode. A single SA-30 mayn't suffice, but I'd try it out nonetheless.. | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM Handymann --You should try out a pair of Belles SA-30 stereo poweramps in a (vertical) bi-amp configuration:http://www.powermodules.com/sa-30.htmlIt may not look much on paper but, believe me, you'll be convinced of its merrits in-use. Simply put ... | |
| Still mystified by mega expensive power cords I don't question the sonic importance of powercables, but it's the blind (and snobbish) adherence to a higher, and not least astronomic price tag as a slavish indicator of equivalence into better sound quality (in any given setup), compared to muc... | |
| Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers Dave_72 --Though it may not look like much on paper(watt-wise), the Class A poweramp Belles SA-30 is something to sonically behold, and a relative bargain:http://www.powermodules.com/sa-30.htmlIts sound to my ears is "characterized" as extremely c... | |
| Power cord connectors Do they matter and if so how much do they matter in the ratio of the cable itself ??...Speaking of the importance of connectors should include the option of their exclusion as well(at least as a principle reminder), insofar this is practical - som... | |
| solid core interconnect below 500.00pr.-which one Marqmike --I'm not sure how much of a help my recommendation and its motivation will be to you, but here goes: I'm very much into solid-core wires and believe they have inherent, distinguishable traits(compared to multi-strand alternatives) that s... | |
| Anti-Cable Power Cables Schipo --I don't believe it's far off claiming most of the "hifi" cable industry is "a great business with a huge profit margin...," or at least that most manufacturers aspire to it. What seems commendable is how Mr. Speltz with his product is fai... | |
| Power Cord up to $100? For well below $100 there can be made many feet and many lengths of DIY power cords in excellent quality. For some years now I've been happily using PC's throughout my entire system comprising 16AWG solid-core copper installation wires, bought at ... | |
| Everest dd 66000 speakers 05-26-13: Kiddman...I myself have been chastised for using horns, from other manufacturers and customers. So why no negative talk here?...It seems horn speakers in general or (yet) as specialty items are having a more widespread renaissance these ... | |
| Can I connect DAC directly to amp? 11-05-12: HewEdorr gave a good suggestion, that is if you use Jriver. As I understand it, Jriver (ver. 17 and above) processes digital at 64 bit so if you select the Internal Volume option you can reduce volume as much as you want without any impa... | |
| Building a Power Strip, any advise? A bare bones approach to a "power strip," perhaps, but being a DIY-solution in all its simplicity I find it very worthwhile:I use non-shielded, twisted 16AWG solid-core copper installation wires(ground-wire twisted in the opposit direction) as pow... | |
| Why not horns? 05-15-11: Macrojack...So feel free to sing the praises of your big beautiful speakers if that's your wish. I've been doing so for a couple of years now without any infestation -- just a few insults and a little derision and name calling -- things ... | |
| Cables more hype than value? 02-17-13: Grannyring...For me simple, well constructed solid core copper cables sound best. No special pureness or anything. Just plain old Teflon coated, solid core copper in various gauges all bundled into a very thick and stiff cable.To my ears... | |
| Budget-Friendly Interconnects? NuForce's IC700, if it's still available. I believe an RCA-equipped 1 meter pair retails for ~$200.I use the IC700's in my own system between the poweramp and DAC, where it replaced a DIY solution with Mundorf's teflon insulated 0.5mm Silver/gold ... | |
| Diamond drivers Dracule1 --Phusis, the C1.1 are suppose to be significantly more dynamic and more emotionally connecting to the music than the C1. So may have gotten what you're looking for in the C1.1 that C1 was lacking. Roy Gregory have compared both side by s... |
