| How much AC is too much. I have the same issues here, with similar voltage. It is not a problem with modern gear, but if it goes up and down during the day like mine, it may throw your bias off a bit on your tube amps if they are manual bias units. I would not suggest usi... | |
| Lightspeed attenuator lithium battery pack I just used some simple and affordable 18-20 gauge solid core magnet wire for the plugs. I could not hear a sonic difference between it and the one that came with the Li-Ion battery pack. As far as interconnects go, that may be up to your personal... | |
| Lightspeed attenuator lithium battery pack I purchased one off E-Bay from a seller here in the states for $28 and free shipping. Just search "Rechargeable 3800mah Li-ion 12V Battery Pack with DC Connector" on there and you will find it. I prefer the sound of the battery with my Lightspeed,... | |
| Goof High-Efficiency bookslef speakers Reference 3A de Capo's....just what the doctor ordered! No crossover, full-range main driver, efficient, easy load for a small SET amp, sound fantastic and hold their value in the long run. Please check your spelling....you are not actually lookin... | |
| I wanna rock -- with monitors on stands I have owned Reference 3A de Capo's for many years, up to the most recent versions...Excellent speaker all around, and very amplifier friendly. I recently upgraded to the Episodes, and am extremely happy with them. Have you considered integrating ... | |
| Popping sound in right speaker Yes, you probably have a bad tube. Try swapping the left and right channel tubes in your CD player first, and if the noise switches channels, you have found the problem. If that does not do it, replace the (single) 6DJ8 in your hybrid ARC LS2 pre-... | |
| Can You Get 1,000 WPC Out Of Regular Wall Socket? Yes, a class D amp can, a Class A amp is another story when it comes to current draw! | |
| Ayon Spirit III and Klipsch Cornwalls experience? I have spent a lot of time with the Ayon Spirit II and III amps, and have heard the Cornwalls many times. I don't think you will be disappointed with them at all with your Cornwalls, which are a VERY efficient speaker. The bass with the Spirit amp... | |
| Worth repairing JBL L100t3 speakers? I took my woofers in person to a local business called the Speaker Exchange in Tampa. There are other such services available that you can ship your woofers to if you don't have one in your area. There is a service advertised on E-Bay that charges... | |
| How to protect against burglary An 8th degree blackbelt in Hapkido, or a pump 12 gauge shotgun should do the trick. A security company will do nothing for you but (hopefully) alert the police to a break-in well after the intruder is done stealing your system. | |
| Worth repairing JBL L100t3 speakers? As Elizabeth mentioned, if the woofers are not making any noise at all, the voice coils may be shot. The woofers should move and play even if the surrounds are in need of replacement. I just replaced the surrounds on a nice pair of L100t3's I have... | |
| How Much Are You Missing From 20khz to 45khz? Hi Mitch4T:I recently upgraded to some of the new Reference 3A Episodes, which have a "supertweeter" that covers from 20khz to the upper 40khz area. After some experimenting with blocking off the supertweeter, I have noticed that it does certainly... | |
| Burson 160D vs "others" I tried one last year in place of my stock Sony XA5400ES, and found I preferred the sound of the Sony all around. I was really hoping the Burson would fit the bill, for I liked the versatility of it's variable pre-amp output and USB inputs. I gave... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena, can they rock? Yes, they will "rock", or play at high volumes with a modest powered amp (tube or solid state) but that is not what they are designed for. They are a very refined speaker with great tone, clarity and detail. Bass is flat to the mid 30's and dips i... | |
| Is it really possible to compare A/B speakers?? Some great responses from all of the above contributors.As previously stated, the speaker needs to be matched to your personal room acoustics, personal musical tastes, tonal preferences, amplifier being used, and tonal accuracy of source component... |
