quadklipsh

yeah iv got that one too. but the question stays.[]

damn youre FAST. and it took me an hour to upload trying to send piccha. well i remember seeing him on the forum i guess,but dont know who is he . once i took out my speakers out on the terrace. its about 45 by 20 ft. the bass didnt come back to me ,hehe.or perhaps it was there but my ears werent tuned to that open air sound.

????? is he really enjoying any bass. ???[]

looks like dennie you have all the cartoons this Forum will ever need ,emotionally []. anyways , any word on the sound quality calibre of those XF48 ???? what other klipsch series match em in sound quality ? synergy ? legends? reference ?

splendid. and in how much period did u spend.I mean how many years hv u been collecting. so 8080 beats marantzies

okay, so has anyone of you tried comparing the 2285 or 2270 or any comparably powered marantz to the 8080, i mean which won has a more musical appeal?

moray, the x series and the alpha sansuis are somewhat available here.you tell which one the following to get ; alpha 607,707,907dr and 907 limited. theres also a sansui DG 999. which sounds different from all the above as it produces more of the mid band nicely

yes.pleasure to read that post;)

hmmmm, now someones talking [] ok speakerfritz ill ask for schematic and come back to ya

1972, Sansui introduced the integrated amplifier AU-9500 along with less expensive models AU-6500, AU-7500, and AU-8500. These amplifiers were well built, and very heavy with massive power transformers and heat syncs. With the distinguished look of the front panel, it was simply called, Âthe Black Face. Sound-wise, it was the extension of the single number three digits series, and had rich tube like low frequency with the natural mid to high sound. It seems being reached to the maturity of the first generation of solid state amplifiers.

It's obvious it's a DIY amp, but being DIY doesn't mean it has to sound bad. Poor design and/or execution is probably the problem. Those are pretty nice HP for the the money. Do you have any others you could try? The load on the amp must be at least as high as the headphone impedance. If not, the bass will roll off and will distort very easily. The HP are 50 and you are using the supposedly 32 ohm setting. That is the best setting you have. There could also be an impedance mismatch between your preamp and the tube amp. Bruce there is no pre amp.the headfone amp is fed by the soundcard . the impedance is 32 ohms usually. 100 ohm setting makes it a bit punchier ,louder ,though by 2to3 db only, .... my other posts imply if this same amp could drive rf3s or not ??????it gives 3 watts but ofcouurse impedance is the issue ? plz advise

[]wm mc dermott , thanks aplenty for such an excellent account . sorry i cudnt attend to this post earlier perhaps i forgot. dont mind my asking,how did you learn all this .

just kidding . ofcourse these are very nice but wayyyyy outta my pocket range , dear.

russ69, lolz, thats ofcourse a very nice equipment. i would love to have those tubed refrigerators[] any day .

russ, enlighten me with some integrateds plz . just wanna know what kinda sets are coming up your mind , not that id just rush outside and get some .

here...

hi all . i came across sansui AU-6500, for a reasonable price . sure its a 30 watt amp . but is it going to be any better or equal than 2230 marantz . other wise im not willing to pile up vintage gear if they are not significantly better .

marantz 2230 ,tube sounding , they may say,but i wouldnt know till I own a proper tube amp for speakers. but last night I compared jvc and marantz and the sound of jvc is very precise and tight but to me and my uncle,the marantz sound was so much velvety n soft and pleasing. jvc felt dry. and clinical.

wow, does that somehow mean the 2245 series of oldy marantz is still holding its flag upright to the latest like the PM 15s2.....?????? id be damned !!!! [] im surely glad to be owning a 2230 .... it surely is better than a lot of newbies out there ....

though this is a 3 watt headfone tube amp that iv shown in other thread , the overal sound is better than most ss i have so far . the only lacking is bass . how would i get better oomph outa this amp. its got EL-95 tubes . ARE they supposed to be weak and tinny ?and less powerful and early distorting type?

does the reference series 1 speakers ,specifically RF3s benefit at all from some diy bracing and padding ? sand filling or the likes? id be interested in doing little and getting more out of these speakers,in terms of overall sound [H]

malette, thanx pal []

hey dennie it surprised me you havent probably had a marantz . but im sure your rig musta been superior .

yes , i second dennie , well said and phrased just right !!![] and many thanks for asking about my kiddo , dennie , shes doin great mashallah , shes the best passion i ever had . centre of attention at home for everyone . []. thanks again. always good to have your replies .
