Mike Lavigne's SystemHi Mike- For me, running my CDSA SE single ended into the Dart was nothing short of revelatory. I think the Stealth Indras are contributing, but another CDSA/Dart user got similar results as well u... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemJF- Great, informative post. Mike- I think the 7.5 kVA is still more than enough even with a couple of monster amps. The MM3s are relatively efficient, have built-in 1000W powered woofers, ... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemMike- I have three of the Oyaide combos and indeed they are quite special as you have described. Now you just need to try a really good isolation transformer to really lower the noise floor. posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's Systemmdoukas- FWIW, I've had my Dart amp for close to two years now and have never blown a fuse. It has been the most "set it and forget it" piece in my system. I leave it powered on all the time and I ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

Man, it's sounding goodOne area where I thought the Coltranes had a nice advantage over my 5As was in the the highs. That diamond tweeter was amazing. Unlimited extension and detail, yet totally smooth and listenable. To... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

The Concert HallBob- Are you considering the DarTZeel NHB-18NS preamp? It would be a killer match with your amp and analog rig. Nice system! posted almost 18 years ago | View comment | |

Mike Lavigne's SystemGreat update Mike! Did you ever try the L-com 50 Ohm cables between the pre and amps? If so, are the Zeel cables a big improvement? Right now I'm using the L-com cables with great results. The prea... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
