| Help me buy some new cables.... Howdy,Thank you both for your responses! I found Signal Cable, thanks; I'll check them out.I haven't spoken to Grover Huffman. The name is only vaguely familiar... But I don't know why I know the name at all to be honest. Is he on the board under ... | |
| Help me buy some new cables.... Thanks for your responses! I've actually had Radio Shack cables for years--that's what I am replacing. To be honest, I have one major problem with them: they grip the inputs way too tight and changing out equipment has almost damaged items more th... | |
| Janis Subwoofer Help Unfortunately, I can't at this point. I don't yet have possession of the sub. I had purchased it via eBay from a local gent and before we did the handoff he did some testing and noticed some oddities in the sound. I'll try to get the quote so I ca... | |
| Allison Speakers - Modern Kentucky Company Thanks everyone for your responses!Tom: I just purchased a reconditioned set of Allison Fours, but I appreciate the heads up. I hope those go to a good home.Jaybo: I'm still mourning the loss the of reborn Allison speakers myself, but they're defi... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. To me, at least theoretically, a low THD should represent a cleaner signal path. Of course, this is theoretical, but what that spec. means to me is that the amplifier is not introducing outright distortion into the line. Of course, having said tha... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Kijanki, would this explain why some have argued that keeping the signal above 20kHz is still necessary even though it isn't audible in the 'traditional' sense? Or is that what you're saying and I'm just repeating it? :-)Thanks, Aaron | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. "Aewhistory, you might be surprised to find out that research about the way the ear hears and how the audio system interacts with that, has really not been dealt with all that much in a way that is not classified. "That's disappointing to hear, al... | |
| Dumbest reason you were drawn.... A purple light! You've got a purple light, 4est?!? Damn you! Now I want a purple light. Follow the light Aaron, follow the light.... why is it that I'm so attracted to these stupid perty lights? Probably because I've got the brain of a Moth. :-)Th... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Atmasphere, at the risk of sounding completely ignorant... why hasn't somebody done what you're proposing? This sounds brilliant, simple, and straightforward. In fact, I'd think that this sort of testing would supply much of the sort of informatio... | |
| Vandersteen 5? Stringreen, as always, YMMV. Actually, I'd met him twice before that episode for a Vandersteen audio event at a local retailer and actually found him to be brusque then as well. Interestingly, before he arrived the first time I asked some of the V... | |
| Vandersteen Subs 2W, 2Wq, etc. as LFE Hi Bob,Thanks for the links, I'll take a look at them ASAP.There are alot of ideas that I'm trying to digest into a long-term plan. For instance, my father has a 7-channel HT using Quad ESLs, and uses either three or four Janis subs as well as a 1... | |
| Vandersteen 5? So where are these Vandys you say? And definitely don't buy them! Just give me the address and I'll handle everything.... :-)But seriously, these are amazing speakers. I used to have a 7-channel Vandersteen system and can attest to how wonderful a... | |
| Janis crossover Andrew, I don't know if you are still thinking about what to do with this amp, but two Janis subs were just listed (no, not mine; I just bought another a couple weeks ago) on eBay. I don't have mine yet, although I'm planning on trying it out on m... | |
| Vandersteen Subs 2W, 2Wq, etc. as LFE Hi Bob, thanks! Okay, I see where you're going with this... damn, that shoots my crazy idea down. I don't know if this is pure stupidity, but here goes:Essentially, what I started to wonder was if I could work toward a system where there would be ... | |
| Vandersteen Subs 2W, 2Wq, etc. as LFE Hi Bonmanp, Thank you! This is such a simply idea I wish I'd thought of it myself. I was so wrapped around the idea of using the pre/pro at the center that I hadn't really thought outside of the box (in this case that saying rather applies literal... |
