| Is the BIX table extint? Someone said (I think it was in Audioasylum) that they may get a US distributor and the $125 shipping may be reduced or eliminated, but it doesn't seem to have happened. That would make the BIX toooo tempting. Might be spreading rumors though, sti... | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two Dont look now, but some of the 'Cheap Chinese' stuff is embarrassing the 'Big Boys'. Im thinking of giving the PrimaLuna a shot. Whos using what speakers?....cheap Chinese might be just the thing for this cheap American. | |
| Anybody heard Reimer Teton speakers? Note that the 'GS' version uses all differnt drivers from the standard version. I think the standard uses Morel drivers and the GS uses all HiVi research drivers. This includes a ribbon like tweeter design. They should sound substantially differnt... | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing I agree with Megasam, specs dont tell you anything about the sound. I cant really comment on the upsampling question, but my experience with amplifiers tells me you dont always get what you would be led to expect. That goes for power ratings, type... | |
| 'great' bookshelf speakers for under 500? I loved my Totem Ones so the Dreamcatchers might be good. I would recommend the Quad 11L or Dynaudio Audience 42 in your price range (used). Pony up another $100 and look at Quad 12L, Dynaudio Audience 52, Green Mountain Europa or Von Scheikert vr... | |
| Are ATC SCM-7's equal to Dynaudio Audience 52's? On the minus side the ATCs thrive on big power and are only 84db sensitive. They also have physical limitations that will show up on material with strong bass at high levels. On the plus side, they will rival just about anything out there from mid... | |
| I'm a little stumped I think you happen to be comparing speakers that are at polar extremes in the differences between them, especially dynamics. Dynamics from a horn loaded driver is, well, its forte (excuse pun), and against which most any kind of driver will lose o... | |
| Eastern Electric Minimax CDP Very nice evaluation of the tube rolling but I have one question. How do you rate the cdp on an overall basis compared to others you have tried of heard? | |
| UNICO: Can it Serve as a Preamplifier? Unless the Unico has 'preamp out' rca connections on the back you will not be able to use it this way. Some integrated amps have them so you can bi-amp or hook up a subwoofer (line level). If not you will have to replace it to use monos. Shouldnt ... | |
| Budget amps that can hold their own. Forte class a amps, Bedini 25/25 if you stumble over one...Rotel, Adcom.... | |
| Anybody own Audio Experience Symphonies? The website says they corrected the 'dc leak' problem...never heard this equiptment but was checking their info and thought I would mention they are aware and claim to have fixed that problem. | |
| No sound from left channel on power amp Careful when changing fuses, use plasic fuse pliers. Remember risk of shock even if your amp is unplugged. Also risk of shorting something and frying your amp. Im sure most everyone knows this stuff but a little reminder cant hurt. | |
| music on tv commercials Thanks to all, your help is very much appreciated. | |
| how much current is enough? Numbers dont really tell the whole story about any given speaker/amp combination. That said, your speakers are notoriously power(current)hungry, and most amps dont produce a lot more current when bridged. You really have to try an amp with your sp... | |
