| 3-Way Crossover's and Amp selection? SEANWhere can I find info on Tweeking the old series B&K amps?If I go that route I will definitly Mod all of the amps.I might even get a set of the Sonata's(?). | |
| Is it taboo to mod a speaker? Best done by the original designer of the speaker!Changeing XO's or using up to date parts is a plus.Little tweeks like changeing Binding Post and Internal Wiring can be DIY. | |
| New Speakers 1k JMR has been getting some good feedback as of late and I would definitely check them out if you can.Another angle is to get a set of Axiom's and change out their XO's if you arte good at DIY. I wish NEAR still sold speaker's because they are reall... | |
| 3-Way Crossover's and Amp selection? TP-Yes,the Internal XO's are being Pulled in order to use an Active Outboard XO.SEAN-I might just do as you say.I am reluctant to sell the B&K.I might try what your Bros. did.Looking at A-Gons Used list I saw a Krell for around $1400 and McCor... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? For some it comes down to expense also.I wish I had found a sub to go lower than 25hz.,but at the $400 price point what's a boy to do!So I bought an NHT Subonei that is ok.I really would rather have a fullrange speaker that goes to atleast 22hz. n... | |
| Opinions on Paradigm vs. Axiom vs. NHT? I've heard Ratshack Speaker's and they were not to bad for the lowest economy system ,but in your range I was looking at Axiom's,but never hearing them and trusting on faith is pretty hard.They do give you a 30day listening period which to me is a... | |
| Tri-amp with stereo SS on bottom / tube monos top Great question which I had asked at the new AC BB.I am having my speaker's put together at present and had to look into it myself.What was said about having an Active Crossover with it external is what I am having done.Just makes plain sense to do... | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? This thread reminds me of SNL!"Jane you ignorant slut" skit."Funny! | |
| Integrated or Separates? I have to disagree on a few fronts about picking a Int. over seperates.The main reason is the ability to change out components when needed.If you want another amp or Phono stage you can do so without having to get rid of the whole amplification se... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I have not wanted to screw with my vintage CDP(Phillips CD-80) as the player is 12yrs. old and I was not concidering messing with it.Afraid I might mess it up and it's built like a Tank which I use for a transport.I am now considering changing the... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit What is the difference in the new version?I am trying to have some regular cryo'd to see if there is a marked improvement in it,but it has not returned as yet.I think at the end of nest week it will be here.In the process of having my speaker cros... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I have to agree given that is the opinion of other's also.The Plasic gives the most direct contact to the post.OTOH,I was forced to use a connector for my CDP.For some reason I could not get them to work so I tried Eichmanns whch seem to work fine... | |
| What is the best CDP to be used as a Transport? Thanks Sean that is what I think I will do.ABEX | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Cryo treated Cables have not returned as yet,but I did get to use the Eichmanns in place of the Plastic Plugs and that works fine.Would have liked to have gotten the newer Silver Plugs ,but they were not available yet.Cost being another factor,the... | |
| What is the best CDP to be used as a Transport? Well that kinda puts me at ease as far having a respectable source.I would imagine it would only have to come down to the DAC,synergy and personal taste after that.I am currently using a Modified ART DAC that is in need for a better PS to have the... |
