![]() Would I put my Vandersteens anywhere close to a wall, no not unless I was deaf, that is because they sound bloody awful if not given space.Īs did the B&W 805 Matrix, & the 804s but they were both pretty awful anyway. Until he corner loaded them, he sold them within a few weeks thereafter, it was chalk and cheese, they did not shout anymore. He has now sold the Avant Garde's and bought Sonus Faber Amati's, those certainly would not work close to any boundaries.Īnother friend was battling to shift a pair of Unison Research Max 1's he took as a trade in his shop. Like Martin Logans yet to her any of them where that does not bug me. Doing that certainly took the bite out of the Avant Garde Duos a friend had, the lagging bass from the active bass bin I could never get right or come to terms with. Horns work very well when in the corners or close to a wall. Similar to Audio Notes best amplifier products, such as the 60,000 Ongaku (Japanese for music or sound & joy) and the 95,000 Gaku-On (more music), the. The La Scala can also work very well near the walls. The Bigger brothers the Crystal 2-40 which I also have is a rear ported 3 way and they just choke up in the corners. I have some Wharfedale Crystal 2-30's a 2 way non vented box with a passive woofer and they shine when stuffed into a corner. The Heresy's I had worked very well in a corner or close to a wall, where they were no longer a bit bass shy, placing them in the corners had no ill effects on the rest of the sound in any way. The Audio Notes are designed to be corner loaded, as are the Klipsch Horns & the Klipsch Cornwall = Corner/Wall, and the Voigt Corner Horn. Move them away form the walls and they sound anemic. I corner load my Cornscala Horns and the Klipsch KG 4's they just sound so mush better in the corners and no they do not bloat or boom. My room has a vaulted ceiling, and it certainly is the easiest room to get decent sound easily I have ever had. The same goes in equal of not more measure for all rooms. Toe in a Vivid Audio speaker and I realy want to stab those aluminum drivers not just think about it. There are a few companies that will make them with silver wire, although they get pretty pricey.Why do you have that opinion? Not all speakers behave the same. One of these days, I'd like to try to build an amp with silver OPTs. Those units carry serial numbers Please note this is not a small unit. As well opted to have the manufacturer to do the proper assembly job. Tube complement 12AU7 or 6189 This particular unit was order with Jensen and Wima capacitors update and associated components at the time. I imagine those AN silver transformers are pretty amazing. For sale audio note kit 1.1 tube dac in working order. Here's a photo of the inside of one of the two - thanks for the compliments. The enclosure panels were purchased from, and were all designed using their free software. The connectors were purchased from various places including PartsConnexion and Amazon. I used hookup wire from (solid silver for audio signals, silver plated copper for power signals, all using PTFE insulation). The delayed start output relay PCB was purchased from the site, with parts from Mouser. Parts for the Maida regulator came from Mouser, although Neurochrome now sells assembled boards. In this kit, the STA540 is configured as a dual bridge amplifier capable of. The Maida regulator for the input stage, as well as the soft-start controller came from Neurochrome. This is a stereo amplifier kit designed to make use of the. I built the heater supply for the input tube using a pmillet PCB I bought on ebay with parts from Mouser. The Jensen line input transformers came from. Also upgraded to Western Electric (new issue) 300B - I bought the upgraded resistors/caps and the TentLabs DHT filament supplies from. ![]() As I mentioned, I made a lot of upgrades including high-impedance current-mode heater supplies for the 300Bs, regulated DC heater supply for the driver tube, Maida regulator on the driver stage, Audio Note silver tantalums for all resistors, upgraded wiring and connectors, and a couple minor circuit changes. I started with ANK's top amplifier model - C-Core Interstage parallel 300B SET monoblocks. The midrange, particularly vocals, sound exquisite. With these speakers, the 300B amps are an even better match. My new speakers (based on the GR-Research Line Force) cross over an octave or so higher (around 170Hz) and are more efficient (98db/w vs 93). Since I'm not using the amps for the lowest couple octaves, I can't really comment on the deep bass performance differences. The 300B amps provided a bit more depth and width to the sound stage, a more natural decay, and a smoother midrange. These cross over to powered subs at around 70Hz. When I first finished the ANK amps, I was using GR-Research NX-Oticas. ![]()
