| Help with new speakers Gary ... same question as B_limo, what do you find deficient with the Tributes?? Like Samac, I heard them at a dealer and was quite surprised and greatly impressed. Although I think recommending speakers is a daunting task because of the shear num... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Troy ... was John Rutan able to help you sort through your 5A set-up issues? | |
| good preamp for dynaco mk3 monoblocks with maggies Zvovchik, I happen to think Ralph's (Atmasphere) advice makes a lot if sense. Although I agree with Sbrown's comment about the ARC SP11, frankly, I am dubious you can pick up a SP11 in good condition for $1000. I've seen used ones listed on A'gon ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Tsushima1, please explain what you meant when you posted that ARC was "phasing out of the 2Uf Teflon coupling capacitors on the Ref 150." I own the Ref 150 so I have a real interest. | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Troy, John Rutan's store is located in Verona, NJ. If you are close by, maybe you could offer to pay him to come to your house and do the set up. John may know more about Vandies than Richard V himself. :)I'm optimistic that once your 5As are prop... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? Tls49 ... yes I have thinking about doing just what you said, which is to use heavy gauge wire to act as a "hot-wire" jumper between the 2 sets of terminals. If it sounds better, I'll take it another step further -- maybe buy quality jumpers and s... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? Grinnell, please explain "use a 3/5 configuration." | |
| Why are they doing this? Thanks Al. I suppose my first post had more to do with my surprise that the OP's sub could be hooked up to the power amp outputs. Admittedly I am not familiar with his sub. I thought most subs are self powered like mine. But even if not, if this w... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? My speakers are set up for bi-wiring and my cables are bi-wired Kimber 8PR banana plugs. If I wanted to compare bi-wire to regular (single) as this point, what do I do? Yes, I have the original metal jumpers, but some think they degrade the sound ... | |
| Why are they doing this? Al, you responded to Albert's point about connecting a self powered sub to the linestage/pre as follows: "[C]onnecting at line-level, which would require purchasing additional interconnect cables, possibly purchasing splitters and introducing them... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black or Dynavector 20x2 Check my threads. I've spoken to this question. | |
| Why are they doing this? Al and Mrschret ... I also use a self-powered subwoofer which is connected to my linestage via a 330K ohm impedance buffer. As just stated, the sub is connected to my linestage ... not the amp. Why can't Mreschret connect her REL sub to his/her pr... | |
| Has price of used 802N's shot up? Astrallite, I missed the announcments from Japan and China about their policies of not buying US government debt. Can you post a link to an article?? Thnx.Not to quibble, but even gold and silver is not real money. Oh ... sure in the short run, se... | |
| Revel Speakers What??!! Me exaggerate. Never. | |
| Has price of used 802N's shot up? Just wait. If our major trading partners ditch the US dollar as a reserve currency, you ain't seen nothing yet. All imported commodity prices will increase. One reason that more countries haven't pushed the US dollar down even more is because thei... |
