| Question for Paradigm Studio 100 owners ... Yes, make sure to reverse the speaker cables (+- to -+). But I second Michael. CJ PV10A is a great sounding pre-amp, but it has a reputation for too soft bass. Not uncommon for tube pre-amps in that price range. The PV10B improved the bass.. but i... | |
| Biwiring You will not damage the speakers by leaving them in, however, it will render the bi-wiring meaningless if you do, so please, yes remove them. | |
| Interaction between Sub XO and Amp? This might be your ticket!!! check it out.http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?misceqal&1137732946 | |
| Interaction between Sub XO and Amp? Howard,in any case, running your signal through the sub's crossover will degrade the signal. Explore dedicated crossover between the preamp out-amp in. I believe paradigm makes one, and there are some other choices out there. | |
| Easy to Drive Bookshelf Monitor? Smeyers.. I wouldn't rely on what you read.. use your ears. If there is a Triangle dealer in your area where you could listen for yourself, you might change your mind. In particular given what you are going to be driving them with.The bad rep abou... | |
| PC as a transport vs Regular transport or player There is a lot posted on this issue on Audio Asylum. With the right setup, many have crossed over to a PC based setup and will never go back. A PC hard drive is, by design, a much better transport than a CD player. The challenge is more the dirty ... | |
| Best small, wall-mountable speakers? Maybe not the "best," but the Gallo line would be worth your consideration | |
| Getting all new cables and need sugestions Signalcable.comBest value if you are on a budget for wiring the whole system. You might also check out E-Ticket cable, no website but sold here on audiogon (sold by hifidreams). | |
| TAD 150 Yes Ecruz, it was I who posted that tubes would lose bass definition. But it is also somewhat of a generalization, where this is not so much the case for more expensive good tube preamps. TAD has the advantage of being a "modded" design with highe... | |
| TAD 150 Hi Ecruz,Did they delete your previous thread on this? I couldn't find it a couple of days ago.Anyway, looks like you are not giving up on this one. Given that the TAD 150 is a "hot rodded" chinese tube pre, it might be able to better your MF3cr, ... | |
| Is a dedicated transport justified? I think I second Gmood, but you might experiment with digital cables between the AMC and the DIP. When I had a transport-DIP-DAC setup, the difference between the basic Canare and the Acoustic Zen MC2 was unbelievable... more than the difference b... | |
| Any good CD for setting up/positoning a Subwoffer? Thank you for your help! | |
| Need help using a subwoofer crossover It seems like what you describe would work... so your description is puzzling. However, even if this would work, it would hardly be worth the sonic degradation on your system. The quality of the sub-crossover is probably low, and it would rob a lo... | |
| Buying Used-Ever wonder??? The REL hype is about seamless integration of sub and main speakers/monitors, that it disapears.... not hypes up the bass in the system and calls out... here I am... this is where tha bass is coming from!In regards to second hand paranoia, on the ... | |
| order of improving sound quality in system? I think there is no "right" answer to your question. Speaker selection is Very important, but so is the preamp, poweramp, and particularly the source. Ultimately, it is the synergy between components and cables in the system, and the weakest link ... |
