| should speakers be coupled or decoupled? On a lesser expensive level, I suspect one can ascertain for themselves what's best for their situation by trying both avenues... At least they'll find out what they can live with that way... and should.you may enjoy using both methods simultaneou... | |
| What Color is your system Hi Doug.... so, like what else is there to do on a weekend?Fun is a part of things too, and way too often I can and do lose perspective regarding that 'fun' thingy. Hopefully, not every line of every thread here has to be pertinent and educational... | |
| What Color is your system Green. deeply deeply, green... as in far too much of the green went into it. Some red too. Lot's of red needing to be repaid still. And some grey... as in those areas yet to be added to or improved upon.So it's kind of Xmas-y colored. | |
| How do you remove a tube Key? Thanks much.Good ideas all.. especially Rod's.I can't tell really if things got broken off... I suspect the glue just came free between the glass and the plastic cup covering the nipple of the tube.Likely heat and cooling, etc... and or poor QA. b... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? Thanks so much K... & G...The Thor likely isn't going anywhere. It's working great, the remote sensor is entirely exposed and secured now and that was the sole issue with this unit that wasn't up to snuff IMO.I've yet to hear another pre with ... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? KijankI’m pretty sure the relationship between output imp of the preamp & input imp of the amp do play a part in how easy or hard the preamp has to work to supply sufficient gain/amplitude of the signal to the speakersFrom the Ten Audio review... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? MacrojackThanks as always, for the predominately insightful notes… albeit, 100 wpc isn’t 500 or 550 wpc. I do appreciate the efforts and time thoughKijanki - G-manOne practical part of this all is to have an enjoyable, user friendly exp. Not long ... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? MacdadtexasWe paused for some further station identification and a few words on our sponsors.I apologize for this interuption and now return to the show... (with any luck at all)...ICE AMPS and their similarities & relationships with real worl... | |
| where to invest??? yes... I did mean Goertz. I never can recall that co. name. I've had no adverse issues with my Micros and FWIW Stereophile recommended them some time back in their budget components list. Be it all one brand or a mixture of, once all is in and set... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? Better yet... How many high powered ICE users here have high eff speakers with dubious impedance loads? Like the sonata IIIs ... 93db & approx. 4 ohms -/+ ? | |
| speaker wiring for h/t and stereo I thought I mentioned making connections whilst everything was dead...? Anyhow.. Absolutely DO not energize amps without a load being connected to them.I did the line out and line in bit too... and wound up with a fairly significant lag in the aud... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? As much rhetoric is being cast about here with regard to Rowland, it's merits and perhaps some suspicious intents, which I've dismissed completely from my mind, would anyone care to compare any of these Lillyputian Giant killers to other more well... | |
| Suggest speaker cable for long run...? What is OCOS? "'spensive"I've gone 40 ft with the 4s11 using my receiver to drive my rear speakers without issues.... but they ain't Sophias.Even with Sophias on the other end, I'd investigate the link Al posted and give that a try first... see if... | |
| bat 300x verses mac 402 I've noted the same thing... I like the BAT sound (tube pre + SS amp) and several of the Mc amps, including the 402 & 602. I've not tried the vk75, but did own both the vk60 & vk500 w/BAT pk... and a vk5i. The 5i & 500 was just super. ... | |
| guys i need some help please... The PCM - bit stream merely allows for another decoder to handle the decoding/output. bit stream ususally is the preff'd setting for say a receiver to do multi ch.PCM usually is the setting for many DACs, and or, analog output from that source. Th... |
