| Is 74 dB too much gain for the Dynavector XX2mkII? Al - Thanks for the good information....like Zavato said in the post above, according to the calcs......74 dB is too much.....what exactly happens if it is too much? What should I listen for......is it obvious? | |
| Is 74 dB too much gain for the Dynavector XX2mkII? Whoops, forgot to mention that the XX2mkII is a LOMC with a gain of 0.28mv. | |
| Balanced or single ended phono stage? Great responses everyone, I appreciate the feedback.......of course an in home demo would be the best. You read just a ton of excellent things about the Manley Chinook which is pretty much the same price as the Ayre, yet it has quite a few more op... | |
| Depeche Mode and R.E.M Diesel and Dust is not an REM album, it's a Midnight Oil album. | |
| any eosone fans? No, but I always wondered what those things sounded like. They were around in my pre-audiophile days. | |
| Car Audio Speakers I settled on 2 pairs of Focal K2P separate components. They are/were considered decent higher end (for car I guess)speakers and have them hooked up to a 4 channel McIntosh amplifier. They sound great but I will say they're a little on the bright s... | |
| REL subwoofer crossover question Good discussion on this........after talking to someone who is more of a REL expert than I was, turns out their crossovers are indeed different. When you set it on the lower settings, apparently the frequencies somewhat higher are not totally filt... | |
| Artists that deserve box sets Van Morrison for gosh sakes. His catalog is way too fragmented. | |
| REL subwoofer crossover question Hi Audiofreak.....mine are running low pass RCAs....a single for the left and single for the right sub.....I don't have the Neutrik connectors yet but I wanted to get them up and running. | |
| REL subwoofer crossover question No, Zephyr, it's running out of a preamp output (this is a 2 channel rig, no surround). When I had a Velodyne DD sub in the system, of course I would use the internal crossover etc etc and I had it crossed over pretty low, probably around 40 Hz or... | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers 5 Napkin Burger. Have eaten at the one in Hell's Kitchen in NYC and they just opened one here in midtown Atlanta. Excellent. Try the original.......has caramelized onions with Gruyere cheese melted on it. | |
| Worst record ever? Can't forget that album by William Hung.....the asian guy that got made fum of by Simon Cowell for his rendition of "She Bangs". How any company let him in a recording studio is beyond me. | |
| Pink Floyd in HI REZ......finally I agree on not being too excited about the whole remaster thing (although it looks like they're pulling out all the stops)....I'm not excited for all the extras and stuff......I just want the SACDs. Long time coming, and I'm sure they'll sell a to... | |
| AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts? Hi Jedinite.......I would still go, it was a lot of fun if you like the gear, and many of the exhibitors were great. This is only my opinion, but this is a trade show, not a retail store. If I go to the Atlanta Journal Auto show and look at a Pors... | |
| AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts? I don't think I saw any Polk Audio products. Closest thing to mass market I saw was some Marantz components, but that's about it. |
