| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp @petaluman "Depending on the nature of the mismatch, the result could be an amp or speaker fuse blown, or a speaker driver or an amp output section. Your house & neighborhood are probably safe, though!" That's good to know! Usually whe... | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp @oldrooney Thank you very, very, much for taking the time to respond so in-depth to a complete stranger. I really appreciate it. I am going to take time to read and reread what you have written. Indeed, Ohm's Law is at the top of the "Electri... | |
| Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp Pardon my limited knowledge on this subject and a question that may be very basic to many of you. My biggest hurdle with audio equipment has always been the inability to grasp the "electrical side" of the hobby. I've given great consideration to... | |
| Audio Research SP17 @ghdprentice -- Thank you very much for that bit of information. I was not aware of ARC's use of "specific" tubes that may limit "tube rolling". However, with this type of gear I'm in the same boat as you...I would be happy to stay with the "sou... | |
| New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp? I'm currently looking at an ARC Preamp, myself. If you don't mind sharing, what is the price range for the 5SE you are looking at? Thanks. | |
| Where do you buy your vinyl? By all means, search out a local Record Store and support small business. Most if not all used record stores can also order you new releases from just about any label. On the occasion that I buy online, I buy direct from the independent labels K... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Deciding whether or not to buy the 55,000 Euro SAT CF1-09 tonearm when you buy the 150,000 Euro SAT XD1 turntable....the epitome of First World Problems. | |
| Audio Research SP17 You would be buying a tube preamp with extremely limited to none (depending on how much you are willing to pay) tube rolling options. @dekay -- Pardon my newbiness, but why do you say this? Does this AR use a type tube that isn't made anymore,... | |
| Wall Art @larsman -- Larry, you have some freaking fantastic photos. Some that stood out: the Robin Trower "faces" shots; Phil looking menacing in Thin Lizzy; "Flower" and "Watcher" Gabriel; and of course, David Gilmour. I've heard a bootleg recording of... | |
| Audio Research SP17 @jasonbourne52 -- Yeah, I would like to get it for a little less. However, it is not a private sale, it's being sold by a friend who owns a High-End audio store (reps Vinnie Rossi, SME, Dynaudio, KEF, Octave, Dr. Fieckert, Naim, etc.), so I know ... | |
| Audio Research SP17 @skucie -- Here are the tech specs from the Pass Camp Amps. I believe your answer is 10 kohm. Frequency response 10 - 20 kHz +/- 0.1 dB Power (stereo) 8W into 8 Ohms per channel Power (monoblock) 15W into 8... | |
| I wasn’t sure where to classify this… @asvjerry and @thecarpathian , I’m in Winston-Salem, or "The Dash" as we locals call it. Shelton Vineyards, along with Raylens Vineyards are wonderful places to visit, along with the multitude of Breweries that have opened up in the Triad.... | |
| I wasn’t sure where to classify this… @asvjerry -- It sounds like you are thriving in or around Asheville, North Carolina. I grew up in East Tennessee and have lived in Central NC since 1985. Fantastic part of the Country. If I'm correct about Asheville...indeed it is booming! | |
| Wall Art @larsman -- I don't know if it's my computer or your website, but I can't get anything other than the main webpage to load. When I try to look at the photos or click any of the tabs, all I get is a blank screen. Anybody else having this problem?... | |
| Bybee Technologies Crystal Series Plug-in Speaker Bullets. @spenav -- If you thought I was expressing concern for, or feeling sorry for those individuals purchasing the "Magic Bullet" products, I need to badly refresh, rehone, and polish up my Journalism skills. I could not care any less on what individua... |
