| Can my MC275 power speakers with 91db sensitivity Al, I have a quick question about "kickback inductance." On rare occasion, I switch back and forth the hot speaker wire between the 4 and 8 ohm outputs taps. The time interval of a "no-load" condition is less than a second. When doing the switch, ... | |
| reel to reel tapes Spatialking, ... may I respectfully suggest that you either buy a new (or pre-owned) R2R or repair the old one. I surmise you've got some real pearls in those boxes. Sure hate to see them go to seed. | |
| Can my MC275 power speakers with 91db sensitivity Elegal, ... Al, Ralph (Atmasphere) and I have been around the block on amp/speaker compatibility issues so many times, like the proverbial tiger who chased his tail and turned into butter, I feel like I'm about to turn into a stick of butter too. ... | |
| 2014 CES News: ARC Showcases New CD-6 One quick follow up. I have another thread running asking for comments about how the ARC Ref CD-8 compares to the ARC DAC-8, mainly with respect to the redbook CD function. My thought is whether it makes sense to use my CD-8 as a transport for the... | |
| 2014 CES News: ARC Showcases New CD-6 Mitch ... agreed. I'm hoping someone gets a chance to check it out and post comments. I own the ARC Ref CD-8 (straight-up redbook CDP), which I enjoy quite a bit. I'm close to dipping a toe into other digital sources. Yet, as another OP quipped, u... | |
| When the Electric Company Owes You a Favor? This is really a money issue about a "taking." In other words, the utility company wants a permanent easement in order to install a pole, plus the right to ingress and egress the property for maintenance. This constitutes a transfer of a portion o... | |
| When does speaker distortion become audible? Makes sense Al. Moreover, listening to a sonically perfect speaker might be figuratively like drinking triple distilled pure water. Pure H2O -- yes. Taste good, not really. | |
| ARC CD-8 vs ARC DAC 8 Lostbears, if you get a chance, check out my OP re the newly released ARC CD-6. I believe the CD-6 is making its debut at the CES. | |
| ARC CD-8 vs ARC DAC 8 Thanks Lostbears. I used to own the CD-7 and then picked up the CD-8. I happen to like the CD-8 a little better, but both are cut from the same sonic cloth. I thought the DAC 8 might edge out the CD-8 in redbook CD mode because the DAC 8 uses a qu... | |
| Problem with AR Ref 300 Mk II - any experience? Otto, you wrote:(1) "I already decided to have our local ARC service guy look at the whole amp..." Me: Good call.(2) "One question regarding my original V5 tube: when checking it with the right meter on the front panel, it did not reach the green ... | |
| Where do audiophiles retire? On a Nautical Swan -- a 47 foot sailboat yacht that sails up and down the West Coast and the South Pacific. | |
| When does speaker distortion become audible? Kijanki,... I started reading the article. It's fascinating. It looks like it really speaks to a fallacy in cold reading bench test reports in general and those relating to speakers in particular. Namely, the bench tests may be testing stats that ... | |
| When does speaker distortion become audible? Kijanki, I recall reading that folks who owned the Signature 8s (v1) also complained about the so-called "Go-Pal" tweeter being harsh, hot and fatiguing. The Go-Pal used some type of gold/aluminum dome. The later version of the S8s (v2 and v3) use... | |
| Problem with AR Ref 300 Mk II - any experience? Typo -- was in a rush. The penultimate sentence in the second paragraph should read "That's why I renew my suggestion that you have a [skilled] tech look the amp over." |
