| Synth/Electronic LP recommendations Right. Hard to find, but if you see **anything** by Global Communications, pick it up. The first album is the 'ear' album (reissued 3 times), 2nd is 'Remotion' (not reissued) and finally Pentamorous Metamorphosis. If you are into this stuff, these... | |
| 10 Levels of Turntable Mastery TML 10: master: built their own turntable and arm and it kicks ass on everything commercially available. This is not by the individual's claim; the knowledge of this is gained only by word of mouth. Anyone who says he is, isn't; turn around and ru... | |
| Best high end monitors? Pedrillo, we have had the S7 and the P7 in here. They are similar performance; the S7 is more of a box with a bass reflex port. The P7 is the same idea with a rear firing passive driver instead of the port and more of a pyramid form factor. It too... | |
| Best high end monitors? So far the best monitor we've heard is made by High Emotion Audio. It uses what is arguably one of the fastest and smoothest tweeters out there- one of their own design, for which they have two patents. The 120 degree off-axis response is nearly t... | |
| How to go from RCA to XLR? You wouldn't, but if you don't use one *and* you don't have a balanced source, then you'll need some sort of inverter circuit for the inverting channel. | |
| How to go from RCA to XLR? Rwwear, the traditional method of monostrapping a tube amplifier is to put the two channels in parallel, rather than in bridge mode. You put a 'Y' adapter into the inputs, and then parallel the outputs. The output impedance is cut in half, so if y... | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around Mrtennis, your timing of when you heard the BAT amps is off. Before BAT went into business, one of the founders was a customer of ours. They were seen for the first time at CES in 1995. Their SS amp followed some years later; its likely you heard ... | |
| Smooth treble Hi Chris, yes, that's right. FWIW tubes in general make less odd-ordered harmonics so its a lot easier to build a smooth sounding system by using them. Tubes are so linear that it is possible to build circuits that use zero amounts of loop negativ... | |
| How to go from RCA to XLR? Rwwear, if you have only a single-ended source, get a transformer from Jensen to convert from SE to balanced. That will assure that there will be no issues. | |
| Watt Puppy 7 needs new or used Amp and Pre-amp FWIW, the Watt/Puppy system is designed for tubes. They are easy to drive- our local dealer demoed them with our 60 watt for years. Wilson's national sales manager has used tubes for at least the last ten years... | |
| Smooth treble Opus88, its all about the rules of human hearing. Most people think about 20hz to 20KHz as the most important, but the most important is the ability to tell how loud a sound is. We use odd-ordered harmonic content to do that.When electronics do no... | |
| Smooth treble Dazzdax, to answer your question about the differences between the Sound Lab and the Apogee, IMO/IME the Sound Lab is likely the better performer of the two, given that you have the ideal amplifier to driver either one, which could be two very dif... | |
| Transfiguration Temper Supreme cartridge loading My guess is the right setting is between 10 and 30 ohms- Lewm is right about 10 ohms being overdamped. If the load reduces the output of the cartridge, then it is too low. | |
| choice for a 100 watt tube amp? AudioKinesis, Coincident, Wilson, ProAc, Quad, Classic Audio Loudspeakers, Audio Machina, Spendor to name a few... | |
| Anyone know anything about the MFA OTL monoblocks To the best of my knowledge MFA did not make such a thing. Its either not an OTL, or not an MFA. A photo would be helpful! |
