| Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear? @tlcocks If you find your self in the NYC metro area it could be possible to set something up. @ghdprentice "Unless you have and infinite budget. Each additional piece of equipment reduces the overall investment level of each amp, interconnec... | |
| Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear? My system is tri-amped and I wouldn't have it any other way. It is a worthy pursuit. I use four Pass Labs amps, 2 X260.8 mono-bloc amps for the woofers, and one each XA30.8 for the mids and the tweets. The amps never get out of class A no matte... | |
| You are there vs. They are there Seems like a lot of gobbledee gook to explain "depth of field". +1 @spenav Regards, barts | |
| They should charge more for it… @ghdprentice Thank you for the good laugh of the day! "If I had the means, I am sure my system would cost... well commiserate with my wealth." 1. "To feel sorrow, pain, or regret for"... Yes I'm sure your wealth would have a bad day. I know y... | |
| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? @freediver A search using AI yielded this: Entry level:$1000.00 -$4000.00 Mid Fi:$4000.00 - $8000.00 High End:$8000.00- $30,000.00 Ultra High End:$30,000.00 +..... What do you think? AI doesn't have ears! And if "its" is even close then I'm ov... | |
| "I Trust My Ears" +1 @panzrwagn Yup I got the Pareidolia thing down pat. I see faces everywhere. Really disturbing when its pitch black and I still see faces. Must be some neuronal malfunction. Ok, back to my closet know for some rest. Regards, barts | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? @dman777 Don't mess around in the digital domain, set it at 100% and forget it. Switch to RCA cables, I seriously doubt you'll hear any degradation of quality. Sounds to me like you're over driving your speakers. As an added bonus the volume... | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? I just sold three ARC amps, local pick-up cash. Spoke with the gentleman and he was very excited. He and his wife drove over 2 hours from another state. Turns out we had a nice afternoon listening to music and BS'ing about audio. He has text... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? Hey @larsman , I agree with @soix on this one. A learning remote is programmed by the remote you already have. Put it in learning mode and point your current remote at the spot they designate on the new remote and it learns the code (button by ... | |
| Your first concert was to see who and when? Blood Sweat and Tears summer of '69. | |
| How old is too old? @secretguy My two cents is to buy one with the expectation of having to buy another. So, figure out a sliding scale based on dollars available, your age, age of player and expected longevity. There has got to be a sweet spot in there some wh... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? @rvpiano "I was just making an observation that it surprises me how my post engendered so many to answer." I too am amazed how many Agonrs responded to your somewhat inane question. I'm not trying to add to the discord on this thread. So, oh f... | |
| What is your audio axiom? @2psyop "If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” Yogi Berra +1 Perfect! Regards, barts | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! @bruce19 +1 To OP, However you determined this phenomenon, will you be able to tell if "the cure" works as advertised? I would absolutely do the least intrusive remedy. Simply to ease your brain. A healthy amount of blue tack placed strategica... | |
| ??? 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... |
