| Audible Illusions 3A vs Belles 28A I own both a Modulus 3A and a Modulus 3B preamp and I don't think you be gaining anything by going to the Belles. I think you will be losing. The Modulus 3 was rated one of the best preamps of all times. It also has an excellent phono preamp as we... | |
| DAC Impressions I have a Wyred4Sound Dac1. It is extremely revealing and musical, especially for the price. | |
| Heavy Duty Binding posts for Krell KSA 250 The WBT's come to mind but they are very expensive. Cardas makes them as well as a few other cable manufacturers. You will either need a tech to do it or be very handy with a soldering iron. | |
| WireWorld I have 2 Starlight 6 digital coax cables and a Starlight 6 usb cable. I agree, you get a lot out of their digital cables. Not sure about the 7 series, but I would think that they are up there with the best in that class.I am very satisfied with Wi... | |
| Legacy audio manufacturers Optimus was/is a Radio Shack brand. Nikko made nice inexpensive receivers in the early 70's. Their tuners were excellent. I had a nice Sherwood receiver back in the very early 70's. I remember Stereo Review gave it a glowing review so I just had t... | |
| Jeff Rowland 2 or Classe 25 for Avalon Eclipse I have a Classe 15 in my secondary system. I also heard the Classe 25 many times over the last 15 years. The Classe house sound is a little dark sounding. If you don't like bright, this is an amp to consider. I am running my Classe 15 amp with a t... | |
| Lovan audio racks....and other racks..... I bought a Salamander Synergy 40 audio rack with the metal perforated side panels and pull out shelf for my laptop. I am very satisfied. Total cost was under 800.00 | |
| Low freq rumble, and using a KAB Subsonic filter. It is designed to go between the tape loop or between preamp and amp. I use mine through the tape loop and switch it into the circuit when I listen to vinyl. It has removed completely, all rumble from my system and stopped the woofer cones from os... | |
| BEL 1001 MK V PREamp Match? The input impedance of my amp is 22K ohms and it was used with a Modulus 3A and now a Modulus 3B. It is 100% perfectly compatible. The Bel will be a perfect match. | |
| Power amp protection and filtering "This is what is inside your Hydra:http://www.10audio.com/diy_power_conditioner.htm"Actually, that piece written isn't entirely true. The author is making quite a few assumptions. I do not care for Jerry Seigel at all and I certainly do not trust ... | |
| BEL 1001 MK V PREamp Match? I have a Modulus 3A and a Modulus 3B in 2 different systems. The 3A has been used with 2 Classe amps, a 10 and a 15, an Adcom amp, a McCormack DNA 1 amp. The Modulus 3B is being used with an Odyssey Stratos Extreme Plus+++. No problems at all with... | |
| Kimber Kable 12TC vs. 8TC for 15ft runs. I am wondering the same thing except I need 20 foot runs. Do you know what is the gauge of the 12tc wire? I am using 20 foot runs of Groneberg speaker wire but not sure of the gauge. | |
| Power amp protection and filtering I use an original Shunyata Hydra 2 which is used primarily for my power amp. The Hydra 2 is designed to compliment a high current power amp. The Hydra 2 does not limit the amps power or dynamics in any way. It lowered the noise floor considerably.... | |
| What did Shahinian Obelisks cost in the late 1980s Not sure of the original cost, but a pair of the same was listed on Audiogon last week for 1,000.00. Not sure if they sold yet. I hope this helps. | |
| Classe CA100 - Static, Cut Outs when cold. Ideas? Had the same problem with a Classe' CAP 150. Amp would cut off and on when cold, left it on all the time and had no problems. It went back to Classe twice for this problem and both times they said they repaired cold solder connections. |
