| Speakers with good timing Lohanimal,A well-designed ported speaker can have awesome PRAT. In fact, I have found that well-set up ported speakers "breathe" better, a quality that IMO improves PRAT rather than hampers it. Speakers that combine technologies (i.e. stats on top... | |
| Thiel CS3.6 with issues: take the chance? If you really want to get to the bottom of it, swap all the drive units first. If problem follows, you can eliminate the crossovers. If it's the drivers, you'll have to then compare each one with its counterpart using an SPL meter and a test signa... | |
| most clear, crisp sound power amps, monoblocks ? Hey, can we be a little nicer, AG members? Everyone doesn't necessarily have the same background or speak in the same lingo, but that's not a reason to be snarky.Narcisco, To answer your question politely, everyone will have a different idea of wh... | |
| Apartment Drama Elizabeth, I gotta hand it to ya' You are one badass audiophile! | |
| Wu-tang clan new cd How sad. | |
| Audiophile newbie Welcome to what can be an insane hobby. To get an idea of what brands, prices, and components do, get your hands of a "recommended Components" issue of Stereophile, jump on a few sites, and read a lot: AGon, Absolute Sound, Enjoythemusic, etc. Mos... | |
| 6922 Issues / Recommendations Nicksr,It's funny that you ask because I just ordered a pair of RCA 12AX7As for my Mid-Monos. Mike at QS says that the input tube affects the sound more than the driver, so we will see when the RCAs arrive later this week. I have the very newest v... | |
| 6922 Issues / Recommendations Yank that tube and throw it away do not use it in the other channel. Purchase two new 6922s. If same problem, call Mike and he will ask you to send the amp to him for repair. | |
| sound proof floor - practical examples? Yep. Same here. I have my stands on spikes and on painted black concrete slabs (14X14). Works very well. | |
| Great Saxophone Artists and Albums I gotta say ditto for Branford. He is a giant in terms of tone and control. He has ULTIMATE control, especially in very soft passages. I don't like all of his stuff, but damn, he is good and can play any and everything. | |
| The sound of my new electrical service: Day 1 Wow, I would be crying (really) if this happened to my system. Get your old AC back! | |
| Jazz Musician's Sonic Signature Phil Woods, too. Oh, and who can't pick out Toots Thielman? | |
| ARC Preamp going to full volume Ouch get that puppy back to ARC asap. | |
| Looking for drivers for Fried Beta and Q5's? I have seen them on ebay quite often, but you'll probably have to buy the speakers to get the drivers (I am a long-time Fried devotee and the Q5s are fine speakers). BTW, the Betas and the Q5s went out of production (to my knowledge) in the 90s. | |
| Improving bass from a front ported speaker Agree. Plugging the port will skew the balance and literally make your speakers sound "congested," especially for male vocals, tenor sax, cello, etc. |
