| Amplifier Input Impedance OK. So are not some loudspeakers designed with very low impedences so that they will audition better because they are louder? (and I understand that this is not the same as sensitivity.) Does that not relate to input impedence in amplifiers?I'm no... | |
| Amplifier Input Impedance I have to try again. I have the same complaint on low impedence SS amps and have spent years trying to match preamp to amp. I think that the lower the input impedence, the more gain the amp has which in turn degrades sound quality. For better SQ y... | |
| Amplifier Input Impedance I should keep my mouth shut because I'm ignorant, but I have read that it's hard to design a SS amp with high input impedence and still get enough power or maybe rate the amp with higher power. I know Levenson has cheated so to speak on their impu... | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier Danoroo, thanks. Yes, I've heard it said that subs are not very successful without bass management.I agree on the hk990. My info is that hk has essentially not changed its amplifier design since Dr. Matti Otala designed the mythical Citation XX th... | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier We all screw up like that. Not an issue. | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier It is still available at onecall.com and a seller on amazon that I don't know. | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier What is your source? | |
| Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed Shouldn't the copper RCA's need to be 75ohm to be suitable for digital cable? | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier Cool! I've got my crossover set at 40hz especially because I made a bad decision and am now stuck with a pair of Paradigm PDR10's. They are so pathetic that they wheazed once and I'm afraid I will destroy them. The power light dims also when they ... | |
| Static electricity....again Hevac1,Yes, I won't disagree. I don't have a reliable humidifier guage (what are they called?) right now and depend on the humidifier's read out where humidity is no doubt higher. So generally the humidity is not as high as the setting on the unit... | |
| Static electricity....again I'm sure Hevacl is right that the central humidifier if you will is the best. I have hot water heat so I'm forced to use room humidifiers. Can't agree though that you can't get a big enough room humidifier. With a big Essick, I can have water runn... | |
| Static electricity....again It takes about 6-7 gallons of water/day to keep my house hydrated here in MN. Keep humidity at about 55. I've got one humidifier dedicated to the listening room and another for the remainder of the house. The Essick humidifiers with the wick reall... | |
| Length of digital cable? Update: I bought the 4-ft digital cable with RCA adaptors from Empirical Audio that Steve recommended. Break-in is typical with a rough patch after about 24 hrs. It emerges hrs later with a very broad soundstage and becomes light and airy, soundin... | |
| CD Players: Stop breaking down I went through 3 NAD's (still under warrantee). Started at entry level and kept upgrading and told myself the upgrade would be more reliable. Got off that treadmill and bought an old 20 lb hk 1988-92from a agon seller who had kept it in storage--h... | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier In regard to the companion cdp HD990, if you haven't bought it, I probably would not. I'm sure the electronics are high quality; the problem is that the machine is so light and that includes the transport. I'm using an old hk cdp that was made bet... |
