| Help with cartridge selection It is important to match the catridge to the phono preamp as well as the table. It may be worth while to call a reputable dealer and ask advice based on table, preamp, speaker, listening preference, astrological sign, etc. If you read the intervie... | |
| Looking for an amp to drive Eidolons Vision. For under 20K (or over 20K if you like) you could get a very respectable YBA set-up. Ask your Avalon dealer if he has heard them with YBA amps. If you want to demo them before you buy (and you should) the North American distributor is very good ab... | |
| New YBA equipment... Old YBA Email Audio Plus Services if you want to get info straight from the horses mouth (North American distributor). To my understanding in the Passion line the 100, 200, and 300 are the designations for the integrated amps (each giving you more power).... | |
| New YBA equipment... Old YBA YBA has introduced the Initial line. This is the new entry level. THe Audio Refinement has been around for a while. It is made by YBA, with YBA parts, in Taiwan. | |
| Subwoofer Recommendations for Audiophile Monitors Blending a sub with monitors is tedious. Your Harbeth's are similar to teh Spendors. The Spendor sub is very musical and a pair would blend well with your speakers. However teh Spendor subs are NOT very dynamic.Martin Logan makes great subs. A pai... | |
| Pre-pro VS. seperate Room correction? The V4 does the room correction in a very interesting way and it does indeed work very well. The Accuphase is said to be top notch. The less correction the better though. I'm sure that you have the speakers placed as well as they can be placed but... | |
| Please recommend components for newbie with $1K NAD C720BEE + NHT SB3= 1,200 retail.Most dealers can put this together for about 1K and throw in cheap wire (14/2 or the like).This way you get a warranty (digital volume control on receiver-all things digital can poop out for no apparent reason).... | |
| what causes the sss in words like 'thisss'? Posssibly room reflections. If there are lots of hard surfaces to the sides and rear of your speakers you may need some treatments to prevent reflections too close in phase to the leading sounds. Nothing fancy just try hanging a decorative rug or ... | |
| Are the Von Schweikert VR-4JRs really all that? They are very good speakers but you have to mate the right amp/pre to them. Lotsa-bass.If your dealer will not let you take home and audition any equipment before you buy do not buy from him. Your room and your electronics dictate how good the equ... | |
| Center channel to complement Klipsch Fortes Your Fortes are about 99dB efficent. This means that there are few other speakers on earth that will work well in a surround set-up at all volume levels. You could get an acceptably convincing surround sound experiance at one particular volume set... | |
| Can DK design MKII drive the Magenapan MG1.6 well? I doubt that the DK is pure Class A as well. Their specs are very criptic (much like YBA/Audio Refinement). As with the YBA/Audio Refinement gear (as well as all other gear) I think that the DK should be auditioned at home with your speakers to kn... | |
| LFE or L&R connections I'm not sure that every single subwoofer bypasses the crossover on the LFE input but all that I sell do. And yes the rest of your understanding of my initial explanation is correct. Just look at the manual for both sub and receiver to see which on... | |
| Do I need to use a speaker selector? Not knocking your B&W's. The introduction of either a selector box or direct connection of the distributed audio to the PS will have a deleterious effect on teh sound comeing from the B&W's. | |
| Best Integrated Amp, Price no obstacle? YBA Passion | |
| Do I need to use a speaker selector? Why not buy a cheaper seprate amplifier for the distributed audio. Connecting a string of speakers and the B&W's to a PS with or without the speaker selector box is like using a BMW to do farm work. For distributed audio you could use the new ... |
