| Psb Platinum speakers Check out the November 2003 Stereophile... Platinum T8 on the cover, review inside. The review reads like "Class A" potential.Now, to find a dealer who has these... | |
| Psb Platinum speakers I'm still looking... haven't found a PSB dealer with any in stock yet. I called PSB to inquire, there's one dealer authorized in all of NY state, one dealer in New Jersey. The NJ dealer is waiting for stock, haven't talked to the NY dealer. The la... | |
| In the Market for new speakers I'm also looking for new speakers in this range. I heard the Dynaudio Contour 3.4s. Smooth and resolved, but polite-- not enough sense of musical excitement for my taste. The Revel F30s are sweet and detailed, but a little bass-shy. Very low bass ... | |
| Which remasters to pickup? RE: Santana remasters... Now, if we can only get them to remaster "Supernatural" (too much compression on the original release -- sounds great on a boom box, awful on a high rez system). | |
| Psb Platinum speakers Hmmm... Platinum speakers and VTL. The Goldis are current-hungry, and even though the T8s are a couple of dB more sensitive, I wonder if a tube amp can source the kind of current needed. How does a Goldi/VTL setup sound? | |
| Psb Platinum speakers The Platinum Series is supposed to be PSB's new flagship speakers. I have Goldi's, am very interested in the Platinum T8. | |
| Most eye-opening upgrade and what you learned While I've made a number of upgrades and tweaks along the way to building a good system, the two upgrades that come to mind as truly "ear-opening" are (1) purchasing a pair of audiophile grade speakers (PSB Stratus Gold-i) to upgrade a quality mas... | |
| How to wire a powerful amp with two speakers to avoid damage Just one more tidbit: why do underpowered amps potentially damage speakers? The reason, as previous posters pointed out, is that they are more likely to go into clipping in the listener's quest for louder sound. Nearly all of the power in a music ... | |
| Leave it on or turn it off? The case for "leaving it on": Claim 1: the temperature of the components stabilize, providing a consistent sound. Claim 2: the sound is better, because the temperature is stabilized at the design temperature, which the unit presuma bly ran at whil... | |
| Solid state amplifier $2K Used or New Some additional suggestions: Aragon 8008BB dual monoblocks (loads of current control for nice, tight bass. Used around $1800), Belles 150A Hot Rod (liquid, musical sound, around $1500 new, I think). | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Drubin, quite right about the F-M curves being indexed by reference SPL level... you'd have to program a set of target curves (no problem-o with TacT's 9 EQ memories). I think what happens in real life is that room gain gives the bass boost which ... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Question 1: I found the TactG1 best suited my taste in terms of the provided target curves. I have a PSB Stratus Gold-i speakers (full range). Other curves would work better for speakers with a more restricted LF response.Question 2: TactG1 was a ... | |
| My latest find. What's yours? (1) soundtrack to "O Brother, Where Art Thou?": intro to American "roots music". Hear a 1959 Alabama chain gang sing an authentic spiritual/work song as they chop wood. Allison Krause floats with the angels on "Down in the River to Pray"; Ralph St... | |
| Music to make you laugh by A couple of entries in the category of having some clever moments include Joni Mitchell's "Raised on Robbery" (I'm a pretty good cook, I'm sitting on my groceries / Come up to my kitchen, I'll show you my best recipe") and Bare Naked Ladies' "It's... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Does anyone have any info concerning future product upgrades to the Tact 2.0? Wonder how Tact is doing as a company, between their, um, modest website and low-key advertising, I'm wondering if they're going to lose the high ground to other compani... |
