| Is this a logical break in technique? Perhaps the domain spins will return to their quiescent state, and perhaps not. It would require a careful assessment of the relationship between the fixed magnetic field and the signal-carrying conductor to see if this is the case. I would suspec... | |
| Impedance mismatch? none - that is a huge difference. | |
| Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast" I guess that means Porziob doesn't like tube amps nor does he appreciate the complexity of amp/speaker relationships where a transformer can greatly improve signal integrity. | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... Stan sounds like Warren...too funny. Likes repel, sure enough. | |
| Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast" Two words: system synergy. So many people don't realize it and your post makes it sound like you don't either. I can take the best amp in the world and make it sound fast, slow, mushy, analytical, bad or good simply by changing what it is hooked u... | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... Man Warren, I have never seen you foaming at the mouth before. :) All this subjective talk doesn't amount to a hill of beans anyway. We love our Primas and that's that so don't worry about the others. | |
| Is this a logical break in technique? I have wondered exactly the same thing. From the stand point of triboelectric noise theory, the answer to the question is "yes," the systems would break-in differently and sound different since the electromagnetic fields of the signals will be cha... | |
| capacitance/inductance Lower capacitance for sure. | |
| Mark Levinson Amplifier Hiss The ML-9 is at least 20 years old and, particularly early Levinsons who ran wide open, the caps may be cooked by now. A dirty volume pot will make scratching noise only when turned. I think the amp probably needs an overhaul which will cost a fort... | |
| Tube amp, size and power info........ With low to moderate volume listening and 99dB, I definately wouldn't limit myself to amps over 25W of power! You can try some really cool 3W - 10W power amps like 2A3, 45 or 300B and not have to worry. I hope to do that one day myself. | |
| Nuforce there are a bunch of posts about it in the archives. | |
| Aftermarket power cords for McIntosh amps/preamps The French are conducting interesting research right now on the resonances of the corona effect on the air molecules in the listening room. It seems that it doesn't matter if "the next 100 or so feet to the breaker panel is romex" or not because c... | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? I agree with Beeper99 - try McIntosh. They love clear and open speakers since they have no grain or fake treble energy. | |
| Mac MA2275 users, opinions Knowing how pragmatic McIntosh can be, I would say they figured if you didn't know whether to get a 6900 or a 2275, you probabaly don't know the difference between 200W and 75W either. As Josep said above, you can't use the 2275 for just any speak... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products I too know a former Cary dealer who dropped their line because of reliability issues. However, it sounds like Cary may have corrected a lot of these problems recently. |
