Post Subject: Okay, made first soundsPosted by N-set on: 5/2/2022
Made first sounds with my Dannoy incarnation. Hard to comment on it now as my setup turns out to have some problems:
1. I haven't bypassed the B2's input circuits yet. And they do kill the sound - one slight move of one of the potentiometers at the front and it almost cuts a channel. I have the service manual and have to figure out how to bypass it (if anyone has a step by step instruction I'd appreciate - B2's are rare and afraid of damaging it).
2. One of the Red's original crossover seems to cut most of the bass (dry caps?). I've contacted the UK gentleman and will get an aftermarket xovers to try.
3. In lieu of a better preamp, I'm using this Yamaha C2, which as I understand is not up to the B2's level. I'm planning to construct sth similar to Anthony's: 801A with Bartola gyrator boards and Slagle autoformer.
Another thing is speaker's placement - placed them just whatever. Will start measuring what's happening in my room soon.
All in all, so far I did hear some interesting moments even with such a compromised setup, but nothing of an epiphany yet (I'm also spoiled by years of listening on top notch electrostatic headphones).
