2014-2016 - Tony's 2 channel systemHi, man I don't check this often. Yes, Peter builds a nice speaker. Funny I don't even think about upgrading anymore :) My wife likes that very much LOL posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
2014-2016 - Tony's 2 channel systemThanks Pierre. The 906 has NOS RCA 5Y3 & 6SL7, the 6V6 are JJ - the 6SN7 are NOS RCA from the mid 50's. I bought it second hand and it came with these - I don't know what factory tubes it comes wit... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
2014-2016 - Tony's 2 channel systemSystem edited: added a Canary Audio CA-906 2 chassis preamp. It was upgraded with Mundorf silver/gold caps and a Furutech gold IEC. Great match for the amps. posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
2014-2016 - Tony's 2 channel systemPierre - yes I certainly do but it also costs 2x more than the others. The last few I owned were the Mytek 192, BMC PureDac, ExaSound e20 MK II with Kingrex PS, Teac 501, PS Audio PWD MK II w/bridg... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |

2014-2016 - Tony's 2 channel systemI asked that too and they are only used for bass shunt - if Peter from PBN sees this maybe he can explain. posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
2014-2016 - Tony's 2 channel systemHi, yes they are but they I can move them around pretty easy without the Eden spikes. The CAPS works great - I also use JRiver on the Control PC and convert everything to DSD128 - the CAPS 3 doesn'... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
2012-2013 - Tony's 2 channel systemAgear - I bought a pair of Pass XA100.5 because I needed to feed my obsession and after a year+ with the AMR I wanted to experiment LOL... I can't afford to keep both but I like both equally - whic... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
North Florida OfficeHi Pierre, glad to see you finally got settle and have your system set up in a nice dedicated room ;) posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |
2012-2013 - Tony's 2 channel systemI bought both amps at the same time so I haven't tried using just one. I've pretty much always had mono amps in the past so I guess I am prone to mono amps ;) With the AMR in mono bi-amp mode most ... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
2012-2013 - Tony's 2 channel systemAgear, both are excellent. The amps have plenty of power and the speakers use it to full advantage. They never sound over driven and bass is super tight and tuneful. I really like a sealed box for ... posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
2012-2013 - Tony's 2 channel systemI would say the AMR has better tonality and dimentionality. I also think it has a bit better resolution. The ASR is a fantastic amp but the AMR is more enjoyable to me. posted about 11 years ago | View comment | |
2012-2013 - Tony's 2 channel systemHi Agear, the AMR amps only have 2 small tubes per amp for the voltage gain stage and they are supposed to last a very long time and do not need bias adjustment. It seems to be the best of both wor... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
2012-2013 - Tony's 2 channel systembreak in takes forever! I tried to keep a record of how many hours I had burned it in with the ISOTEK burnin track 2. It definitely opened up and became smoother around about 400 hrs - after about ... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
2012-2013 - Tony's 2 channel systemThanks Pradeep ;) Yes, the FW sounds much better than USB in my system. I used the Gold X USB cable. FW is much more transparent and open sounding - the USB was a bit muffled in comparison. You mig... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
2012-2013 - Tony's 2 channel systemHi Doug, I really am enjoying the sound ;) The Rosso sounded much better when I bypassed the jumper from the sub box to the mid/tweeter box by using individual cables for each. I don't think Darren... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
2012-2013 - Tony's 2 channel systemHi Pdreher, I use a Win 7 quad core PC that feeds the Mytek via firewire. The PC is in another room so no noise. I use JRiver as the server and JRemote on an IPad to control it all - it works great... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
2012-2013 - Tony's 2 channel systemHi Aaron, yes North would be better but with the measures I've already taken it's really not an issue an longer. The solar screens really do the job. I take most of them off from Nov. to about late... posted over 11 years ago | View comment | |
