| Small monitors good at low listening levels? I had the same goals as you for my second (bedroom) system, and upon a recommendation from a very knowledgable audiophile buddy, picked up a pair of TAD TSM-300 studio monitors (originally made by Pioneer Electronics), and run them with a 2-watt 4... | |
| Red Wine, Patek, Audio Zone and Atma Sphere Gmood1 nailed it- I own the Pateks, and everything he descibes is true- the most pure-sounding; grainless solid state amps I have owned/heard. I run them as balanced monoblocks with a fuly balanced tube preamp, which I feel they need to bring out ... | |
| TVC Gain effects The Audiozone Pre-T1 TVC preamp tends to sound a bit better with the additional 6db of gain- don't ask me why... | |

| Power Cord suggestions How good would a DCCA power cord be feeding a Hydra from the wall- i.e. is it a high-current-carrying cable, Or more for line level and digital applications? Where have you tried it in your system? | |
| Dodson Audio - Still in Business? thanks Phil- that was a good read- glad I stuck with my Audiologic. However, I recently picked up another digital rig, the small but very organic sounding 47 Labs Flatfish- excellent in my 'b' 2-watt 45-based all tube system... | |
| Dodson Audio - Still in Business? anyone heard Dodson AND Audio Logic dacs in the same system? I have the Audio Logic 24MXL, but have never heard the Dodson product. | |
| I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners I used to own the Topaz amp, and demo'd the Opal pre in my system- what do yo want to know? | |
| Class D Amps - FM reception I will chime in on this one- my experience was with the Bel Canto Ref 1000 monos (similar topology)- same problem, even worse- actually made a few of my television stations snowy when the tv was even plugged into the same line conditioner (BPT 2.5... | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Kalan- thanks for the updates. How are the Gamut M200 monos on the ambient heat factor scale? are they warm to the touch; do they hear up the room? Incidentally, what is the size of your listening room? | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Kalan- please let us know how the Gamut monos work out for you- curious, how was the Plinius SA-102? Did you have it with the same speakers?? Plinius definitely seems to have their fans as well... btw- I had heard somewhere that the lower-powered ... | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Cdc:agreed on the bi-polar aspect (and I am not descibing my personality, although my wife may disagree :-). They do have more raw power- case in point- my previous HT system consisted of a few pairs of rather inefficient Totem Mani-2 speakers tha... | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Kalan- those are all good points- did not realize the Gamut was 'adjustable' in that way... Hey- a fellow Coincident owner huh? The SEIII's are cool, and in fact more flexible in that I have found a wider variety of amps that can sound good throug... | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Gentlemen- I will add one note below- an exciting new finding for me... (by the way, no one is going to convince me about that the Mosfet haze doesn't exist- I know what I heard on my reasonably high-efficiency speakers). I recently auditioned a r... | |
| Law of Diminishing Returns - CD/SACD Players don't discount the great 2-box (transport + dac) options as well. A modded (the $500 package by Alex Peychev) Sony X707ES transport for ~ $700-$800 used will set you back a total of less than $1,500 and you will have an amazing transport that will... |
