| Usher X-929?????? I borrowed a pair from a local dealer, found them to be bass heavy, thick sounding in the lower midrange. Also, the soundstage lacked the height and width of my reference Dunlavys. But that was my room, my equipment, etc., and they might make a be... | |
| Have anyone seen these speakers? Or system? If you check the pull down menu at top, you'll see that these objects are ART, and obviously non-functional. Check out "Queen of Auto" and you'll see this awesomely cool sculpture on display outside a building. The real question is, how long befor... | |
| Review: Shunyata Research Hydra AC filter Hi! Although, in time, your power conditioner experience will prove useful to me, at the moment I am looking at a couple of preamps and thought you might be able to help me in that regard. One I am considering is the Aloia 11.01 inductive preamp, ... | |
| My "Hummer" is driving me nuts I'll give the "cheater" plug a try. Thanks to all! Ben | |
| My "Hummer" is driving me nuts Thanks to all three of you for your responses. I have plugged the amp into a grounded wall socket with nothing else plugged into the outlet, and no preamp or other input to the amplifier, and the hum remains. It does sound about 60 hz or so, so I'... | |
| re-finish of dunlavy speakers? Thank you all for your well considered ideas. I now have much more food for thought, including two ideas I hadn't thought about, stripping the black and refinishing the original oak, as well as painting them. The issue I see with painting them is ... | |
| passive preamp sub output? Okay, now tell me this. Let's say I run a second run of wire from my amp to the sub high level, what if I run a line level connector from the pre I'm using for my ht system...I'd have two inputs to the sub, one for stereo use, one for ht use, any ... | |
| know any speakers match w/ dunlavy for ht? Thanks to you both for your replies, good food for thought. Will have to check whether my pre has a "phantom" mode! Regards, Ben | |
| passive preamp sub output? Gregm is not confused, and unless I am, the active crossover idea won't help. Kr4 did motivate me to think a bit further, and the sub has speaker-level inputs, so presumably I could just run speaker cable from the amp to the sub. However, somethin... | |
| passive preamp sub output? I'll keep an eye peeled for it. Thanks for the suggestion. Ben | |
| merging stereo with ht, can anyone please help? Thanks to all who took time and thought to help me out. What a wonderful community Audiogon is, eh? I'm about to head into my living room, re-route a few cables, and benefit from your wisdom. Thanks again, Ben | |
| merging stereo with ht, can anyone please help? thanks...now, if only I understood what you meant. What are pre/pro outputs? Are you suggesting that I connect my two channel preamp to my ht preamp, and make the two channel preamp a "source"? What good would that accomplish, since my whole goal ... | |
| platinum audio vs. soliloquy vs. dunlavy? Thanks to both of you for your thoughtful replies. Your experience will certainly be of benefit to me in planning ahead for the wee one. I think Todd should write an article on the subject of child/audio interaction and submit it to Stereophile. I... | |
| help with din to rca cable for creek amp? Thanks to all of you for your quick response and kind assistance. I purchased a Naim cable on the 'bay that the seller said would work, and if not he would refund. So I'm giving those a shot, and if they don't work out, I may look into having some... | |
| Opinion of JM Lab Profil 7? Thanks. I hadn't heard of JMR, but will check it out. |
