| Am I missing something here? As I recall, the rate of volume attenuation for dynamic drivers is 6db/meter and 3db/meter with panels. You're sitting approx. 4 meters from the speakers. Do the math and I think we can explain most of your loss. Also. I am not very familiar with ... | |
| Theta Data Basic II cd transport Reliability ? Knock on wood, I bought my TDBII new in '96 and nary a problem so far. For the last three years it has served as my secondary transport to the Accustic Arts Drive 1 but it still does get regular use. YMMV. | |
| Better interconnects than Paragon within $800? "...smooth, transparent, full and liquid with good soundstage..." You just reviewed the Paragons and don't even know it. Good job. | |
| Out of curiosity, where does everyone live? Just north of the Chocolate City. It would be so appropriate if George Clnton would come to town and kick off a relief concert. | |
| jewelers loop I'm thinking about a jeweler's loupe too. I haven't been able to see my stylus at all since '99. | |
| Bybee speaker cable "chargers" I have bi-wired Duos and run the chargers into the midrange and tweeters. I find purification to be more important and intelligible from the mids up but, without doubt, your bass will benefit from their application as well. | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object What with Bob Crump's passing this may no longer be an option (at least new) but the CTC Blowtorch would be on my shortest of lists. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Correction...make that "Sad Lisa". | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Cat Stevens "Lisa Lisa" and CSNY "Country Girl". To me, both are "achingly beautiful" and both impart a mysterious sense of yearning. | |
| 20 amp dedicated lines I'm no expert but I'd be shocked if the problem you describe would in any way be ameliorated by 20 amp feeds. Vandys are not lean in nature and Cardas is the antithesis of lean/thin sounding. Is there any chance your subs are hooked up out of phas... | |
| Any Nordost interconnect experts out there? I have QuatroFil XLR (10 meter) between amp and pre and QF XLR between DAC and Pre. I use bi-wire Valhallas for speakers. I would definitely put my best cable from source to pre. Whatever information you lose from the source will never be recovere... | |
| Anybody using Bybee DIY Quantum Purifiers? No problem, Fiddler. BTW how's everything going on the roof? | |
| Anybody using Bybee DIY Quantum Purifiers? Hey Fiddler, Absolutely no connection to Bybee or the audio business in any sense of the word. I'm just a dyed-in-the-wool Bybee believer/user. All my PCs were made by Jack, all of my components are internally Bybeed and every driver on my A/G Duo... | |
| Anybody using Bybee DIY Quantum Purifiers? I think that "muted" quality you've noticed is the removal of amusical electronic signal riding herd on the output signal. I have found that when QPs are employed, whether in AC cords and/or components, you can generally expect to be able to crank... | |
| Amp advice for Avantegarde HELP I believe I have the simple solution for your problem. I have been runnung Duo 2.2s partnered with Atmasphere M60s for 5 years now. M60s are 60 watt monblocks (obviously) and I experienced the same noisiness and gain problem that you are. If you p... |
