A1UC Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Dealing with obligatory family time at the moment, but i was able to quickly set it up and take a picture. It's bigger than I realized - still small compared to most emotiva amps, but much much larger and heavier than the little t-amps I've been messing with for the last year or so. It sure looks good as a gear stack. Looks Good - I had both once , hard to beat for the money Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us now how they sound with charged cornwalls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us now how they sound with charged cornwalls! ha. this: http://emotiva.com/products/electronics/stealth-dc-1 and this: http://emotiva.com/products/amplifiers/mini-x-100 sounds great with the charge coupled crossovers I have in the cornwalls, if not a bit clinical. I'll have another month or so with this setup before my jupiter build xovers come in from Dean, which should help "soften" things while maintaining (or further improving) the clear presentation of instruments and vocals, sound stage, tight robust bass, and solid mids/highs. it's a fun little package and didn't break the bank.

Schu Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) oh boy... you are in for a treat! the monaural aspects to digital to analog conversion seems to really yield exceptional results. Edited November 19, 2014 by Schu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, that looks nice! Curious on the Gen.2 mini-x if the speaker terminals are also backwards? ie left terminal closer to the right speaker / right closer to the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 but i was able to quickly set it up and take a picture Nice pic. There's nothing in it to give a sense of comparative size though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing in it to give a sense of comparative size though. they're both 8.5" wide and the amp is 18" deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah weird but no big deal. Enjoy! I've seen that before on some vintage equipment, I believe one of my H/k twin receivers also has them backwards, but it makes sense when looking at it from the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finallygotmyheresies Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have a couple more pieces to add before I change my set up. I hope to have them by the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) I sold my Pioneer SC35 and ordered a new AVR to use as a pre pro.. I wish it had balanced, but it doesn't SC85 It has a better DAC than my Oppo, MCACC Pro, and the latest generation Class D amp. slightly better than a sideways move, but not earth shattering.

Audible Nectar Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Fortified the tube stash today with a few top grade Philips/Holland 6922s. Crisp, clean, liquid - delicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I got the new Bruce Springsteen box set (CD version). Best Buy price matched Amazon's price of $74.99. For those considering the set, I can tell you that it sounds every bit as good as the reviews say it does, and I recommend it highly for fans of the music... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Thats what I use in my phono pre... good stuff. NOS or ? Oh yeah NOFreekingS. Gotta love quantities of unused tube stocks. It's rare that I buy from dealers, but in this case they scored a sufficient quantity to make it worth dropping the price - and that "sufficient quantity" makes me able to order up a stash of top grade, matched product. Batches like this don't show up often - and there's been two notable large scale 6922 NOS "finds" in the dealer universe recently. Gotta strike when the iron is hot, because such finds get rarer and rarer, and I am invested in gears that use them. No worries on that anymore!
