| Record Cleaner Side Effects? I have a DECCA brush that has like a Miollion small horse hairs on it that I like to use just to bee on the safe side.A vacuum machine would also be recommended.I really do not like to put solutions on anything that is going to have playback.If a ... | |
| newbie seeks direction Talk to Wayne at BolderCables.COM for a DAC & CD Transport or Scott Nixon.nOrh has a new version of the LeAmp that might be SOTA for $400 for a monoblock set.I am waiting for feedback,but if it's positive I will be getting 3 sets to Vertical a... | |
| spend more money on pre or power amp ? No quwstion it would be the amp.You can get a Passive preamp that would not add coloration at minimal cost.Then again you might get away with finding an adequate amp for less than you might think and get a great Preamp which is tailored to your li... | |
| Sub for 21 x 17 room for music only You will have no problem with any of your choices.Try to aim for a Sub that can be set to the point where you main speakers drop off at.If the roll off is 40Hz. try to get one that can be set at that level.Also aim for one that can go closest to 2... | |
| bookshelf to floorstanding-real upgrade? I agree with your assertion except there are some great bookshelve dpeakers that can fill a good size room with sound as well.Floorstanders can also be used to good effect in a medium sizzed room.I am not speaking of monsters like Klipschorns,but ... | |
| Horiz/Vert Biamping Yes,I realise this to that is why I have a Modified B&K ST-202.I am waiting for the opinions of the LeAmpII's from some people at the Midwest audio show going on this week.If worst comes to worst I will try to find some Mark Lev amps in the fu... | |
| Horiz/Vert Biamping Sean: It was the designer of my speakers that first brought the equation and recommendation up to me for Vertical amping and then I saw an article in one of the major Mags where the reviewer stated that he would not even consider thinking of a new... | |
| Horiz/Vert Biamping Just to follow that up .It usually takes an ACTIVE OUTBOARD XO to get Vertical amping.Some speaker manfs. do have internal ACTIVE XO's I think. Active Crossovers are prefered because you can adjust levels and you would have to have the capability ... | |
| Horiz/Vert Biamping Another way of explaining it.Maybe this will be better.Horizontal VerticalBi-AmpingHorizontal--2way speakersIs sharing the amps between both channelsYou have 2 amps to share to drive the Tweeters and Woofers 1 amp to the Mid\Tweeters for both Chan... | |
| Horiz/Vert Biamping I have tried to explain this a few ways,but I'll try one more time.3 Types of Amplification!Horizontal Amping--Does not require MonoblocksVertical Amping--Need MonoblocksBi-AmpingHorizontal means you can use 1 amp to drive the woofers in both chan... | |
| Horiz/Vert Biamping Look to Marchland and Bryston!They both make outboard XO's. There is alot of dispute about this,but it is very beneficial once you understand it and what is going on. Recently there was an article in a mag about it and it's what professionals are ... | |
| Horiz/Vert Biamping Funny,I always thought that Vertical amping implied using individual amps for each driver in each channel.Vertical amping as you describe is using Mono's for Bi-amping capabilities it is not vertical amping in the true sense of the word.Horizontal... | |
| Dealer's demo recordings I find that making a cd with specific sounds that are really hard to get right is invaluable when testing systems.A few I use are the Geni voice off "Amused to Death".The crcking of the whi and the slayride off the same CD track 7 to test soundsta... | |
| Tweaks for B&K? Mods to my ST-202The Main thing was it was forward Bias'd to run more in Class A(Change the output resistor values) which takes away any veiling associated with the amps signature.The Transformer was changed to a better one.The CAps and Resistors ... | |
