| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? Phasecorrect ... or Santa Claus. Move the "n" back 2 spaces and evil is transformed into good. :) | |
| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? Bgpowell, that's what I've read about the old Crown amps too. Ironically, back in the day, one of the best hi-end shops in the Philly area touted the Crown as the cat's meow of amps. I used to own the DC 300, which I traded away a bunch of years a... | |
| grills or no grills on your speakers..matters? Good story $2.80 Change my last response -- grills off! :) | |
| Another DAC bits and Hz question Ok ... so here's my conundrum. The BB DAC used in my redbook CDP is not cutting edge anymore -- per Steve (Audioengr). That may be true, but I cannot validate that view unless I do some serious auditioning. Notably, the ARC Ref CD-9, which replace... | |
| grills or no grills on your speakers..matters? Grills on. My pet hamster crawled into the bass reflex tube. The devil to pay to get him out. | |
| Another DAC bits and Hz question See ... I told you I am not digital wise. Stereo5 ... what is the AK chip? How does it compare to the BB chips? | |
| Poll...Ayre V3 versus Pass Labs X250..... Next time around, I'll marry my amplifier. What the heck ... everything goes today. | |
| Poll...Ayre V3 versus Pass Labs X250..... But Jim ... she hates my stereo. Let's give her a -2... :( | |
| Cary SLP98P not working with Audio Research VT100 Ok ... I admit not being a techie, so take this with a grain of pepper. If the problem with the amp is presenting in both channels, there could be a common power supply problem that is causing some type of oscillation (e.g., pulsing output power t... | |
| Poll...Ayre V3 versus Pass Labs X250..... I think my wife is pretty attractive. Only problem is she hates my stereo. Does that count? | |
| Audio Research Reference 3 Seeking help Agree with Liz. It's hard to make perfect better. I used to own the Ref 3. It's a classic linestage. I was underwhelmed when I switched it out for the Ref 5 (not SE). The Ref 5 (not SE) was NOT in a different league. | |
| Cary SLP98P not working with Audio Research VT100 Mofi... you may have just provided your own solution. I just checked the specs of a number of ARC preamps on the ARCDB web site. None of the preamp's outputs inverted phase. I have absolutely no idea what that means, so I'm hoping Ralph or Al will... | |
| Another DAC bits and Hz question Steve, my CDP is the ARC CD-8 which uses a Burr Brown PCM 1792 chipset. Not knowing very much about digital tech, can you provide any insights about the BB PCM 1792 chip. Does it take redbook CD D/A about as far as that technology can go today. Th... | |
| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? Bgpowell ... the Op actually liked the Revels a lot and commented that they are "[o]ne of the best sounding setups yet." Perhaps your post implies that as good as the Revels sounded, they might have sounded even better if they were matched with a ... | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? Ironic and timely that this thread has been resurrected. I am planning to replace the ARC supplied 6550 WE tube in my PH-8 phono pre. The 6550 WE has 2000 on it and its time. Not having read this thread, I went ahead and bought a "modern" Tung Sol... |
