| EMM CDSA player- best hookup- rca or,xlr?? Balanced always sounds better if one is using all balanced equ.-- That is a givin--I'll let someone else talk cable. | |
| Montan "WAS" speakers . ANY INFO? Well I ain't in PN's groupe of knowledge but I did own the EPS. That speaker may have what might appear to have a friendly 91/93 value---but the impedance drops to 3.8 and sucked big-time on the 2 set amps,I owned. Further; when I went to horns I ... | |
| complementary power conditioners Depending on whom you talk to;this is looked down upon. I see the logic but I do piggyback my Audience with a Stealth. I do this because of the distance thing. I do HT and 2ch all in one room. This comb works well with my projector. | |
| Auto-calibration I guess one man's ceiling is another man's floor,huh. I don't do HT with the same zest as 2ch. To me; good enough is good enough. To me the new Dolby-True and DTS ma and such are such an improvement;I can't find the need for closer calibration. | |
| Anyone have a Magnum Dynalab XM Tuner? Thanks GG, for your input and a correction on the model #. I'm glad for you -- that you are happy with your tuner.How you have described the sound, sounds at the least; like what I get from my TWC cable box--/dac combo. I have thrown lots of loot ... | |
| Anyone have a Magnum Dynalab XM Tuner? I posted re. the 609t a couple of weeks ago and asked this question. I also have the xrt12 going into a mega thousand dac--AA Prestigi se.--Same result--low-fi.--In fact my TWC box sound much better. | |
| Maddening HUMMMM Years ago I sold an amp to a guy. It hummed. It never hummed in my system;ever. Flourescent lamps in his laundry room were the problem.---Got any; anywhere in the house or garage?? | |
| Brand new vinyl - skips? Might be tracking force?? Further,you might look at these albums at the cut where the skip occurs.As an example; song 3 1/2 way in-- Usually you can see a tiny lump that might be causing the skip.--(I have seen these lumps on several occasions) Wh... | |
| Amp and speakers blown Surely you would want to replace both woofers; as you would want them to match.--((A new one and and an old one are not a match.))--My condolences. | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question?? First let me tell you a joke that seems to mirror your conclusion: A lab professor has taught a frog to jump on command. On "jump" the frog jumps 20ft.; as measured by the assistant. The professor decides to alter the experiment and removes one le... | |
| Does anyone have Magnum XM tuners? Well Crutchfield free ship took lots of time but my XRT12 is up and running. I can tell you this thing SUCKS-BIG TIME. Really, the sound is similar to AM-RADIO. YES, I have 3 bars and a good view of the southern sky(outside mount). I just about gu... | |
| Shootout: AMR CD-77 vs. AR CD7 vs. Wadia 581se I know the members are beating you--say with a wet noodle-- but while I do agree on their points--- my input asks: How many hours on any/ all of these players??? Sometimes dealer products (and systems)for demoing, don't have the 3/4 hundred hrs.ti... | |
| Theta GenVIII vs. Theta Va and a tube preamp? HEY--Dave, the Theta gen5a is so dated---like about 15 years, dated. Digital has come so far in that long a period; it wouldn't surprise me if the benchmak dac has passed this gen5a.---Yes, I did own one; for say 9 years. I bought the original 5/ ... | |
| Neutral el-34 .re-issue o/p tube for Jolida 302b. You left out my fav. in the '34 family. Those be the Seimens.(( Svets. had a taste more bass but the mids. weren't in the same league as the Seimens.)) and-- at a more friendly price. --Than the cost of Mullards | |
| Tubes to solid state for amplifier path... Well I live in the SanFernando Valley of LA. It do get hot here in Chatsworth; no doubt about it. I ran CJ monos for years. Those be the Premiere 5's and 8's (28 tubes) I also had two dif. 845 SET monos and I never worried about my toaster going o... |
