| Monoblocks vs Bi-amping I'm not too sure you would be gaining anything vertically biamping your speakers.My understanding for biamp considerations are that the usual inspiration comes from the desire to alter the realized sound via the use of two dissimilar amps.Ive run... | |
| I need suggestions and ideas in picking a preamp. BlackzimboWith due respect to 'Marakanetz' mention of using xlr connections, and bargain basement cabling, ($20)... if the power train is truly balanced topology front to back, that alone will enlist another level of quiet, or blacker background..... | |
| Do all toroidal transformers hum? How did you get from "can't hear any hum more than four inches away"... to.... "All toroids are inferior?".If you aren't wearing the amps as headphones the hum issue should pose no significant issues.Certainly, if you have toroids in your amps and... | |
| I need suggestions and ideas in picking a preamp. SS or HS PREAMP to get the BEst....Only you can answer that one. Either can, or will, GET YOU great SOUNDS per se. The deciding factor could wind up being a mix of tastes and prerequisite functionality... remote, phase inversion, HT by pass... ETC... | |
| Most Peaceful Music you've Heard or Own Usually compilations I make into playlists, or out right burn to CD. Mostly the former.On the whole though, hartman, Prysock, or Ella. Dave Koz "At the Movies" is easy enough without being mindless fodder.At home though, where keeping ones eyes op... | |
| volume vs presence Jaffa_777 Then we are more alike than different. I was a musician... playing horns for some years. Do love music. Not an aduiophile though... as I don't think I meet some of the criteria 100%. So it'll merely take you time, as it has me.I also thi... | |
| volume vs presence Jaffa_777 >>I am reluctant for obvious reasons to go out and spend huge amounts of money on cables. I can't really see for the value for money in exotic cables sorry. Can you really hear that much difference for the money spent?>>In my... | |
| Own Magnepans? Got Cats? I heard balloons.. they'll pop one... maybe two, but that's it. Stick 'em too double sided tape in a ring around the speakers.... get the long sausage type balloons.they should be sonically neutral enough too... the balloons, not the cats.The pher... | |
| Own Magnepans? Got Cats? Ggeers222Stand by..... that will change.I'd leave the front door open, myself.Big cat pheramone spray. The spikey 'carpeting idea seems a good one, if enough area is dedicated to the project, and you can live with the look. 'Course, cats have smal... | |
| volume vs presence I too would also say a change is in order.Speakers make the biggest change in a system.Getting different speakers however might not be your answer 100%.If you have the BC DAC3... that isn't the problem. It delivers very good bass and highs, crispl... | |
| Alternative to HT Bypass? I think your idea will or should work fine.... provided your own caveat of not energizing both pre/procs at the same time... and/or if there is some switching needed to be done on the Lexicon amp from xlr to rca.Only issue I could possibly see is ... | |
| How any "wall pluggers" are out there? I think the OP has the terminology reversedWouldnt Wall Pluggers be purists? Sans anything between the esteemed gear and the outlet itself?Kind of like tree huggers? Im sure they would not wish to put anything between their rigs worth thousands ... | |
| Review: Dodd Audio MK II 120 wpc w/sonicap upgrade Tube amp You are welcome. | |
| To Bi-wire or not? regardless IF a change is better or worse, there usually is a change in the sound by using either an acutal bi wired speaker cable, or going with shotguns, twin runs of same cabling.The idea of Blue Jeans saying what they did is about their perspe... | |
| Upscale VCR component out? VHS recorded at 240-270 lines of horizontal resolution. S VHS faired a bit better adding to those numbers.Unless your receiver can upscale the VHS' output, I know of none that will. Component cables inherently don't allow for upscaling, as a measu... |
