| How do Klipschorns compare with modern designs? I too am a horn fan & love my vintage 1978 Klipsch's despite the drawbacks (horn coloration - true - but they're real picky about signal quality being fed into them). Transparency isn't the greatest but is still pretty decent, although they ar... | |
| Fuse or braker for dedicated lines? So we have 4 so far: Blake, Detlof, Redkiwi & myself who can attest to the positive attributes of appropriate fusing, yet the Doubting Thomases persist in disseminating misinformation & telling us what we can/cannot hear. Worldcup did not ... | |
| Fuse or braker for dedicated lines? Terminal's opinion is simply that: no experience so he doesn't believe it. I use two Chang Lightspeeds with my dedicated line & this is real. Don't do it; it's your loss. | |
| Fuse or braker for dedicated lines? Those who have tried this both ways report that fuses sound better than circuit breakers. Unfortunately those good old threads from Redkiwi are now gone from the forum archives. Ceramic-base fuses do sound much better to me than glass-base fuses; ... | |
| Wiring two post speakers with biwire cable Turnaround: It is OK to connect the 4 ends at the amp & then parallel the both pairs at the speaker end. I have a similar situation & confirmed its safety with none other than Mr. Bruce Brisson, who happened to pick up my call. However do ... | |
| Component with most effect on soundstage/imaging? Eric since you're downsizing this probably isn't of particular interest; however for the others...One cable "system" that significantly enhances staging is the Synergistic Research active shielding Master Control Center. This is the DC power suppl... | |
| Diagonal Noise lines JK: interesting report! Curious how are you able to measure noise-to-ground with the scope when ground is its normal reference? Perhaps you float the scope & attach the scope ground to a known-clean-contact ground? I'm wondering because I susp... | |
| Burn-in Device vs Burn-in CD Psychic I received your Saturday email & attempted to reply but it came back undeliverable. Good old AOL...This is geting rather off topic, but to reply politely... ----------Hi Francisco wow you really threw me with this email. I got it at wo... | |
| Anyone ever experiment w/ better circuit breakers? Glen's statement is correct that the brand of the breaker panel normally dictates the brand of breaker. Bolt-in would provide a more solid connection, but there's another alternative. Take a giant step backwards in time & install a small fused... | |
| Loud Pop when I turn off my RIGHT channel? HELP Stewart I was gonna post the same thing - why are you even powering off? Keeping that thing always warm it will sound better, last longer, & won't "pop" your endangered speakers. | |
| Diagonal Noise lines could be a ground loop issue? Is your incoming Cable isolated by a transformer? Many times attaching a house ground to the coax's sleeve will clean up noise issues, but the usual complaint symptom there is hum in the audio. However I'd first ensur... | |
| Burn-in Device vs Burn-in CD Yeah Sean we could sure use a place the deals like that around here. On an unrelated note: I found out that Alberts' new place (Symphony Sound) is at 1525 East 55th St. #312 Chicago. Hyde Park is a decent area albeit the southern-orientation. The ... | |
| Virtual Mode contact membername = Braude who owns & loves this equipment. Steve has the V.M. passive linestage, the stereo amp, & two monoblocks. His Veritas 100 stereo amp was "informally for sale" awhile back & may even still be available. | |
| Searching Prior Threads...Worth Your Time... I myself have also harped upon doing forum-searchs from time to time. Appartently erroneously, because I was disappointed to find that not everything worthwhile has been saved (& I'm not referring to some of those awful insulting older threads... | |
| Burn-in Device vs Burn-in CD Francisco just get the Mobie from Bes at Music Direct. I dropped Sean's name when I ordered mine & he gave me a decent discount - not that they're expensive anyway. 20 minutes to hear breakin changes on interconnects: a new world's record? I o... |
