| Class A/B switching cause sonic problems? From experience I agree with Mike Creek in that an amp that has class A drivers with class AB outputs is certainly a legitimate design topology. I've used more than one solid state amp product that works this way & they sound just fine to me, ... | |
| US/Canada Customs Fees Tom is correct - use FedX. USPS insured parcel post won't ding you either. er, Canada post that is...Do a search of the forum archives - this topic has been covered quite exhaustively. | |
| Definition: Excessive woofer cone excursion Hi Dan - don't worry in the least about using these large amps with your Paradigm's. You obviously already understand that as long as you don't abuse your speakers then they'll hold up just fine. "Too much" power is not nearly so much of a problem... | |
| Should dealers be able to...... Tim: rethinking this --- I believe you're referring to the "Tek" situation, which I can certainly understand you not wishing to receive mail from this 'dealer'. Per S7 suggestion above, there may be a way to block reception from specific email add... | |
| What qualifies a "low baller" some of these guys are resellers looking to pick up your component very cheaply so they can resell elsewhere at a profit. While their offers are indeed insulting at times, I'll normally politely respond "your offer may be considered if no others a... | |

| Should dealers be able to...... IMO yes: dealers should be able to email Audiogon members. I receive them regularly & find them to run the full range from very worthwhile to useless. Overall these communications have provided some good information that I'd much rather be wit... | |

| What is vibration isolation for? While not caring at all about what the ignoramuses continually espouse above, I only tried to answer the originally posted question based upon my own experiences. Yes the stuff works, no we don't always understand why. But what bothers me is that ... | |
| Has anyone used "The Packaging Store" to ship? Steve there've been some previous threads where shipping via UPS (ugh) the seller took the speakers to UPS & paid to have them packed there. They use the expandable foam when requested, which is solid & far superior to peanuts. I suppose y... | |
| Do step up transformers degrade sound? A step up transformer may not be necessary. The voltage at your typical household wall outlet is of course 120VAC, but there are two 120V "phases" incoming at the breakerbox or fusebox. Household appliances such as electric stoves, electric clothe... | |
| What is vibration isolation for? beautifully explained Audiophile9: but somehow I also get the feeling that some others will never hear you - not because they cannot, but rather because they choose not to... | |
| What is vibration isolation for? price? Who even looks at the price? No true audiophile considers anything but the sonic improvements as long as there's food on the table & a roof over one's head :-) | |
