| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else It may just be jumping ahead a few years in amp design, but my two Pass Labs XA30.8 and the two X260.8 (monos) in a tri-amped configuration never come out of class A. And my rig has never sounded better. Yes I have pushed it to very loud and th... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers Haven't seen anyone ask how far your speakers are from the back wall (TV)? Is it easy to pull them out a few feet to minimize the reflection off the TV? Did see someone mention TVs over fireplaces. That to me is absolutely the worst design choi... | |
| Is it better to get dedicated monoblocks instead of bridging stereo paired amps? Seems you answered your own question with "I love the Moon audio 761 sound". I have bridged two ARC amps to run the bass channel in a tri-amped system. it worked very well, but I'll admit that as long as any distortion is low I certainly can't he... | |
| Buyer Beware would have been cheaper, faster and easier to buy this on Amazon... TrendBox Multifunctional Network Networking Phone Cable Tester USB UTP LAN PC Test Tool RJ11 RJ12 RJ45 CAT5 CAT6 Only tests continuity, about $6 Regards, barts | |
| ??? How Do You Determine How Far You Can Take An Amp When Choosing Speakers ??? After being done with the Radio Shack "kid stuff" (late 60s) and only having one real human source for advice. The guy was a neighbor and an EE and had a single Klipsch Klipschhorn driven by all mono Mc gear. Fat story slim...he advised buying t... | |
| Help! Pre amp turning on by itself. With the remote in a closed drawer seems impossible for it to turn on the pre-amp. As already suggested above I would put tape over the sensor on the pre to ensure its not another remote. Oddly I have several appliances that occasionally "reset" ... | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles @erik_squires You pretty much nailed it. My wife makes great chocolate chip cookies and mixes that ever so gently with a wooden spoon, but when it comes to beatin' the meat...not so gentle! @thecarpathian Smoked paprika comes in hot and swee... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? @jpwarren58 I wish I was a headlight on a northbound train. I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain. barts | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles @erik_squires I inherited a Betty Crooker picture cook book with plenty of good recipes in it. I go for the Italian style as outlined in that book...which is essentially meatloaf with a small can of tomato paste in the mixture. I'm ashamed t... | |
| Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised? I'm having a hard time understanding how the domes of BOTH tweeters got distorted without having major damage to the shipping carton/speakers covers/the rest of the speaker. I'm not questioning your veracity simply wondering how that happens. Le... | |
| I bought 4 subwoofers and I'm absolutely not doing a DBA! Hah! @erik_squires Glad to see that you are going to raise the x-over point to some where around 150-250. You will be happy that you are willing to bring it up. Take the load off the mids. Tri-amping is a wonderment! Regards, barts | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? @troutbum Definitely streamer/dac or just dac. Regards, barts | |
| Upgrade ....streamer or amp? @gano Markets move...people move...the sun moves...all in cycles. This tariff nonsense is just that, there will be no follow through. Not possible. Relax enjoy what you have. Regards, barts | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area @asvjerry 24" = 452.4 sq in. nah nah nah nah nah! Hartleys kickin' butt....... And BTW you can't see them move and will play subsonic. | |
| Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes? @texasblues1959 I suspect not of the pre-lubed variety. Regards, barts |
