| Is bi amping worth it ? @hardhattg I was the one who asked if you'd ever heard better or more bass from another set of khorns. Maybe they just don't have it, I don't know. Cd's reach 20hz, LP's down to 16hz that I'm aware of. No idea about streaming but it would seem p... | |
| Best selling albums of all time @mahgister Bach might be number one in my collection or very close to it, Mozart and Beethoven would also be near the top............if we can look at things in this way. Bach organ pieces are a great way to check on bass response if testing new... | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? @hardhattg My tired old brain is still struggling to understand how this works but it may well function, I just don't understand how you would appreciate any kind of advantage. I'll be surprised if you do, as you are not really adding anything t... | |
| Breaking in Blue Jean/Canare 4S11G speaker cable @viridian If they are directional, they are not marked as such so it seems that they would not be. I had them made with locking bananas at the amp end and spades at the speaker end. They are sonic welded terminations and seem to be very well mad... | |
| Breaking in Blue Jean/Canare 4S11G speaker cable @billstevenson FWIW, I'm using the BJ Canare wire. BJ does also use Belden in 10g and 12g but I decided on the Canare 4S11, quad 14g. I've read an awful lot of favorable reviews and decided on what looks to be a good bang for the buck kind of deal... | |
| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? Today, yes. Terribly slow. | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? @wbs I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that. In stereo, wouldn't this mean that I have one channel driving the bass and the other channel driving the mids/highs? Isn't this kind of defeating "stereo"? Interesting thought about the lengt... | |
| Breaking in Blue Jean/Canare 4S11G speaker cable @billstevenson To be honest, I "hoped" for improvement but considered that I may not hear anything. I was surprised at what I heard, even it is nothing more than the 1 or 2db increase if that's what it is. I'll continue to listen to various Cd's... | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? @wbs It makes sense to me for the OP to do what you are doing. It would require an additional stereo amp but I think it would serve him well. In my situation, I use two equal stereo amps. One drives the bass portion of the AR9's and sits two f... | |
| Best selling albums of all time My favorite of the list is probably Rumours. My wife and I saw them live at Alpine Valley WI right after it came out. It was a great show. I think I have played it once in the last year. Nice recording. I have nearly every Beatle record ever reco... | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? @hardhattg I'm not sure what you will accomplish after looking back to your original post. I would need 4 mono amps to do what I'm doing with mine. I don't see how yours would be any different. I use two stereo amps and use vertical bi-amping. I... | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? @erik_squires Oops, Sorry to screw up your name. | |
| Is bi amping worth it ? @hardhattg I am a firm believer in bi-amping speakers that are designed for it. My speakers are old and not efficient, requiring quite a lot of power. I use AR9 speakers which are rated for 400 watts of power. I'm not sure how this changes if yo... | |
| Does Anyone Else Have a Very Slow Connection to Audiogon? Not always but very often. It is annoying. | |
| Should I move on from my Hagerman Trumpet MC Phono Pre? @fastricky Have you ever tried Sylvania Gold Brand Gold Pin (3 mica) 5751's? Best sounding 12AX7 variants I've ever used. RCA clear top 5751's were right up there as well. Remember 5751's are a tone down in gain from 100 to 70, which can help or... |
