| Speakers to replace B&W N804s ????? Macct,If you have your heart set on new speakers, the new B&W 703's have delivered a death blow to the current N804's. For $500 less they sound better in the midrange and they kill the 804's on the top end. I suspect that your XLO cables might... | |
| Ok, so what does Phase Inversion actually do?? Yo Mdomnick, To understand Phase, think of a kick drum with a microphone in front of it. When the drummer presses down on the pedal, the beater hits the drum head and a sound wave radiates from the drum to the microphone. The front of the wave cau... | |
| Any Thomas Dolby fans out there? Aliens is good, but "Quantum Mechanic" with guest vocalist Dr. Fiorella Terenzi is my fave...it's on The Gate to the Mind's Eye. | |
| Commercial wire for AC dedicated lines Yo el, from you post, it sounds like this is maybe not the thing for you...so hire an electrical contractor.First, the "commercial grade AC wire" doesn't make sense. There is "AC Cable" which is 3 conductor - #12 in a flexible conduit. It is used ... | |
| Best Looking components / your vote please That Jeff Rowland stuff ain't bad. | |
| Can I zap myself biasing my tube amp?? If you are worried about those close encounters of the electical kind, then truck on down to your electronics store and get a CG tuning stick. They are red plastic and if you touch it to high voltage you will not get shocked. They are used for tun... | |
| B&W 802 seriesIII-effect of Northcreek cross overs Yo Bob, It isn't that hard to find used Nautilus 802's in that price range. There was a pair listed on the 'gon for $4250 recently. Even modified Matrix 802's with Northcreek crossovers won't get within a country mile of the new Nautilus 802's. | |
| What's the differences between Krell's Cxs and Mc Yo, Sfstereo, the answer is yes, yes, and no...I don't know. Yes I have heard them. The difference in sound is not subtle, it is the biggest improvement I have heard from Krell in the whole time I've known about Krell. The new FPB-xxx-Csx series i... | |
| What's everybody listening to this evening? Yo Philefreak, wassup dawg? I can dig it...Stones, way cool. Now you've got me Jonesing for some Stones. I spun up an old 45RPM LP of SoftCell "Tainted Love/Where did our love go?". It has a great bass line. Also, had to hear some Carly Simon, and... | |
| Speaker Placement Info Needed Well since you are a "Bigkid" you can handle what I'm about to tell you. The Matrix II Series of B&W 80X all sucked. They had slow bass, gluey midrange, and terrible sounding aluminum tweeters. My best recommendation is to upgrade to B&W N... | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? Live in Paris (on DVD) because she plays all her good stuff. I agree with twl on not having found here "style" or more the proper phrasing on her vocals. She plays the piano as good as any pure pianist. Her two biggest problems (IMHO) are:1. She n... | |
| Resistor value for interconnect Yo Xeno, This is a bad idea!!! Two suggestions. First, if you are intent upon a passive volume control, try the Sweet Wispers at Electronic Tonalities. You can find it at: http://www.bottlehead.com/et/adobespc/sweet%20whispers.pdfWellborn Labs als... | |
| Overdriving speakers, or clipping? You may have been hearing what happens when an 8 ohm driver dips below 8 ohms and shows the amplifier a 4-5 ohm load (especially at low frequencies). The Wharfdales are 4db more efficient than the Bostons which means they will play more than twice... | |
| Any input on Purist Dominis PC with tube phono ? I am running a Dominis Power Cord on my Jeff Rowland. One listen and I never considered going back. I had to have it. Be careful, you might have the same experience. I paid more for the Power Cord than I paid for the amp. | |
