Monk Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Well, I've got blue, green, red, orange... Am I missing any colours? And really need to put a bit of tape over that power supply light causing the room to glow blue... ha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried running it with a linear supply ? Edited August 7, 2019 by keinesorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried running if from a linear supply ? Not yet. I only got it last week. I really only got it as a stopgap to get me going until I decided what I should get as it seemed to review alright and was damn cheap. My Squeezebox seemed to do well with a iFi iPower unit, but I'm undecided whether I should throw money at this with the power supply and different tubes, or just put it towards a "decent" preamp. But yeah, I don't think it sucks though. I can't seem to hear any noise through the system, so yeah, cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I don't think it sucks though. I can't seem to hear any noise through the system, so yeah, cool. Its certainly cost effective, but it doesnt sound cheap. I was running mine with a GME power supply (turned down to 12v) and i swapped the tubes out for the JAN GE 5654w. I am building another system and am considering having the Tube01 in the chain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very classy collection. This eve, dragged out the old Stats, just for their treble, mated so well with the mid and bass horns, very smitten didn’t wanna stop listening. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think tweeters reproduce the original music but more reproduce what the microphone heard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwbasement Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Finally my full setup is done after the big move. The RD11s has been at my mate's place for over half a year...Ready for a few tunes this afternoon. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steever Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) My father’s system today... Sources are Cambridge Audio DVD player and Apple TV. Processing is a Marantz SR6005 receiver. This outputs main left/right to a custom made 2 box valve pre which was made in Tassie. The speakers are 6.5’ hybrid ribbons/dual 6.5” mids . The woofers are 2 x dual 8” dipole transmission line enclosures. Power amplification for the mains is DC battery powered with active cross overs. The Marantz powers the centre and rears (Aurum Cantus Leisure IISE). A couple of spare Redgum power amps will be swapped in to power centre and rears shortly. The centre and sub are garage sale specials. They’ll do for now. The room is 12m x 5m and the system sounds absolutely fabulous.

Nice large room to play with, maybe one note, convince him to drag the speakers well off the back wall and am sure he will be much amazed. Just came from members house and sorted his ESLs that way incl removal of unnessary resistors etc. my ribbons needed at least 1.2 m away from rear wall to sing.
