Hi Gary
I am well ....I may be over east coast in the not too distant future ...covid dependent so may take you up on that offer. If you ever make it to the west coast make sure you drop by for listen to the Pendragons
Wow just stunned by the room and envious .I will be building soon so would really appreciate how the Pendragons are sounding in your room and whether you would change anything . Welcome to the Pendragon club!
han_n our setup of the Pendragons looks quite similar from pictures and previously my favorite Q setting was "1" but now I am fixed on "3" . This has come about after concentrating on getting the exact distances of the ribbon tower and woofer tower distances from the listening position the...
Hi LL21
I came across Goebel when I was living overseas . It was recommended and used in quite a few of the systems I heard and liked on my travels. I used to run all Nordost Valhalla and then looked for a change. Tried various Gryphon cables, Transparent Audio ,Siltech and a few others ...I...
Felt is the wrong terminology for it apologies ... but there is definitely a fabric/protector which runs the full length of the ribbon driver.and AMT tweeter..
Hi Ron
The device is not a measurement device but rather puts laser grid-lines through my room which I can reference to. I tried to take a picture of the grid-lines but had no luck. I will try again. The device is a Bosch GLL 3 80 P ...I have found it very useful.
The spikes have been a...
Pretty sure you may have this but see attached details for the RD75. Much admiration for the DIY setup I am sure it is very impressive. I have never taken the felt dust covers off but may have to give it a try. Yes it is a shame B&G are no longer making drivers ...I suspect it may have been a...
Apologies for the delay in response …..looks like PKN has gone offline so will assume he will not mind adding comments. I have owned the Pendragons for over 3 years. My system in that time has changed considerably, room not so much but will come back to that later.
My original setup with the...
Hi PKN as another Pendragon owner (picture above from Bruce D is my setup from a while ago) do you mind if I post some thoughts and experimentation I have done over the years? Not a lot of owners I know of so I guess this would be the Pendragon owners thread . Hopefully we can swap ideas and...
My music tastes are very very varied.......I do not really have a favorite genre.....rock,orchestral,country,pop,alternative,jazz... I enjoy it all.
For cables I have flirted from Audioquest ,Nordost and now have settled on Goebel...... I still do have quite a few Valhalla in the cupboard but...
I did try the DXD setting initially ...both the Select II and Vivaldi were locking on to the signal but when I switched back from a comparison I could not get the MSB to lock again. I am very familair with the DXD setting though.....please take my comments about being muddier in context ....it...
Hi Astrostar59
I tried the normal 44.1 on comparing to the Select but the 2x DSD is one of my favorite settings for my tastes so that is what I based most of my listening/comparison around. I really appreciate the plethora of settings the Vivaldi offers and have honed them to what I prefer...
Gentlemen first of all apologies for the delay in reply ..work got the best of my time today..... a big hello to all.
I suppose I should first of all give a quick outline of my system
Gryphon Pendragon Loudspeaker System
Gryphon Mephisto Stereo Amplifier
Gryphon Pandora Preamp
Aurender...
Yes I have compared my dCS Vivaldi 2.0 Stack to the MSB Select II. Apologies I am a new member but can offer some thoughts of how the two performed in my system if interested
