| Rock and Roll Speakers "but I miss the sock-it-in-your-gut feeling"... Kelton I think what you're missing is 'Dynamics' which is what differentiates live-performances from the reproduced. Horn speakers will give you the speed & dynamic punch that you crave. Now alot... | |
| What makes / defines an audiophile ? You must be certifiably insane to spend this much time & money on intangible idiosyncrasies; & then love it anyway... You'll definitely know it when you get there - arrrgh! | |
| Speaker Cable Length - Effect on Sound Although the cable length variable is system-dependent, I've been told numerous times that my 20' speaker cables are too long & are degrading my system. I don't know if that's true, but certainly it could be (never tried shorter lengths becaus... | |
| "Burn In" Question Hey guys just wanted to clear up my previous comment about leaving SS gear always on. The theoretical idea is to minimize thermal cycling, but it's not going to kill the equipment if you do power down. Just use some common sense: if you're gonna b... | |
| Best one box 16-bit cd player EAD Ultradisc 2000 gets my vote. No longer in production as of a year ago; still available used, but not a commonplace player - a best-kept secret IMO. See this thread for further info: http://audiogo1.iserver.net/cgi-bin/forum5.pl?asund&97097... | |
| "Burn In" Question I am not a big authority on tube gear so I can only offer opinion & repeat what others have said. Most users seem to feel that you should power off your tube gear at day's end, expecially & definitely power amps. Some others like to leave ... | |
| Schematics Hi guys what are your sources for this information? I'd like to have manuals, or at least schematics, of all my gear but the vendors (Krell - McCormack - Ayre - EAD) guard this data like pure gold. Nothing's broken yet, but ever since my beloved L... | |
| Attention Audio Veterans Revox made B791 & B795 linear arm turntables around that era. I still have my 795, but I am considering upgrading (hint). | |
| "Burn In" Question An amplifier, or any other input device, does not have to be powered-up to provide a load termination for the interconnect cables driving it; signal current will flow regardless. You can prove this to yourself by measuring with an ohm-meter; the l... | |
| digital and interconnect cables burn in OK for speaker cables you have several options. You can play the system continuously at rather high levels when no one is home; allow for some consideration if you have pets though. You can use a break-in box, but the caveat here is to use caution... | |
| digital and interconnect cables burn in As an electronics engineer, maybe I can clear up some misconceptions above. Yes Radioman, it's OK to have the system on, except the amp - good breakin method for interconnecs. But obviously this will not breakin the amp, the power cord for the amp... | |
| Help for connecting turntable Rob due to your $ budget constraint, you wouldn't want to (or even need to) replace your moving magnet cartriDge. Your test-results indicate that, as I suspected, there's no phono-stage option in Aux 2 input. First thing: you might contact Dennon ... | |
| Help for connecting turntable oops I forgot how to spell: CARTRIDGE. sorry, & good luck with your troubleshooting | |
| Help for connecting turntable Rob: You may not even HAVE a phono stage on that input! Some equipments are optioned for phono stage, but if it's not installed then you only have a high-level line-stage input there. Plug in a tuner or CD player into Aux 2 & see how that soun... |
