Re: Canton speakers -Full text of 472 post disc on speakers, amps and such things in
Hi Ramanujam and Moser,
I suppose you guys are talking about 'my' amp thread
http://www.hifivision.com/amplifiers/3200-amp-upgrade-canton-speakers-feasibility-study.html. The reason I had the word 'my' within inverted commas is that although I was the thread starter, I can hardly take much credit for the information and insight available in that thread on amplifiers, speaker matching, other peripheral issues and of course some discussion on music. The contributors deserve to be saluted. There were occasions when people did not agree, but the tone of the discussion was so respectful that it always produced some positive results.
The problem with the thread is its length. I remember at the point of buying the amp I asked : should I start a new thread. But people including moser suggested that I continue in the same thread so that all the information is available in the same place.
But it is incredibly difficult (even for me) to find a particular information easily.
Ramanujam, I have not understood exactly what you want to do. However, I have done something for all of you ( a few hours of work since last evening): I have seen that the thread can be roughly broken up in a few segments and thinking that this may help people, I am listing the segments below with post no and page no.
PART I: Post #1 (page 1) to Post #58 (page 6)
Introduction, Discussion of a variety of amps
(Post #56 on page 6 has the first mention of Leben CS300, the amp ultimately purchased)
PART II: Post #59 (page 6) to Post #126 (page 13)
The Auditions: Quad 909/99 (Post #59, page 6), Cadence VA-1 (Post #68, page 7), Cayin A-88T (Post #96, page 10)
(Post #119 on page 12 has the Leben CS300 mentioned for the second time)
PART III: Post #127 (page 13) to Post #286 (page 29)
Pre-Power: Discussions on active and passive pre-amplifiers and power amplifiers
(This is the longest and the most technical part. This part ends with the news of dinyaar's acquisition of his new Accuphase E350 integrated amp)
PART IV: Post #287 (page 29) to Post #360 (page 36)
