| Phono preamp directly into amp? Manley Steelhead - Has an extra input for your Wadia | |
| Review: HHR Exotic Speakers TLS-I Speaker I'm very interested in these speakers especially a reproduction of the very rare OHM A. My only concern is who is going the repair these speakers say 15-20 years down the road. I would imagine they will be prone to the same material/driver mechani... | |
| Manley 300B or Manley Steelhead I can comment on the steelhead and tell you this is really a phono preamp with an extra line input and no tape loop.Great sounding and one of the very best preamps regardless of price | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Wow Nice responses from everyone and thanks. I was leaning towards investing in a highend DAC which supports hi-rez playback.I have a tidy collection of CD's some of which I will sell and the rest that I keep I will either download or just connect... | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV bass problem Explain what the exact problems are. Are both speakers not producing bass or just one?What amplifier are you driving them with, could be underpowered?? | |
| Studio by Donald North Audio Not really understanding the 3 way active crossovers function with these speakers?I understand the bass and midrange drivers have no passive capacitor components and an active crossover is necessary but the tweeter has a cap in line. Why would you... | |
| Studio by Donald North Audio Very interesting speaker from the companies description but only available factory direct. Thats probably why no comments from anyone. A lot of $$$ to spend for a speaker without hearing it first.Im interested in them and would be willing to tak... | |
| Counterpoint upgrade or Virtue Audio? Upgrade the counterpoint equipment and buy a new digital source. CD player or server DAC combo, but I would say the digital is your weakest link.You're happy with the speakers and Aerial is very well respected brand. The Counterpoint gear seems to... | |
| Need more inputs in preamp, what to use? Manley Slip jack | |
| Passive radiators, ext crossovers & subwoofers Keep in mind the higher the frequency you roll off the low end the less effective the passive radiator becomes. The passive radiator will be out of phase with any sub you use so from my own experience you are better to blend a sub with the polks u... | |
| Allison One speakers If I recall the Allison one was reissued around 2000. The original I think was from the 70's & 80's time line | |
| Recommend Well-Recorded Hard Bop Jazz on CD? LOOK FOR GENE AMMONS, SONNY STITT, WYNTON KELLY, EDDIE LOCKJAW DAVIS LOOK FOR SIDE MEN WHO PLAY FOR THE BIG NAMES. THEY WOULD BRANCH OUT ON THEIR OWN TO TRY MORE PROGRESSIVE HARD BOP WHEN JAZZ WAS JUST BECOMING MORE MANSTREAM AND GETTING AWAY FROM... | |
| New JJ Tesla tubes Never had any luck with JJ tubes. Dull sounding shorts and premature tube failures come to mind when you ask how JJ Tesla tubes sound. | |
| woofer pumping IT SHOULD HELP BUT REALLY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ROOM AND SETUP MAY BE ON THE SMALL SIDE. THE TT IS MOST LIKELY PICKING UP SOUND WAVES IN THE ROOM. I CANT COMMENT ON THE BENEFITS OF A 2" VS 4" PLATFORM FOR YOUR TT. IT COULD BE SITTING ON A SLAB OF CON... | |
| woofer pumping I would invest in a decent audio rack to start. Any subsonic filter switch on your phono pre? I'm gonna say you're getting feedback from the speakers being on the Ikea furniture. Being a direct drive TT will also add to the situation. Isolation is... |
