| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? "I would think one would like to put the burden on the performance/recording to meet our needs and use our system to prop them up."I 2nd this! Exactly what I have written several times before on this forum & over on AA.IMO, the "awareness" of ... | |

| speaker excursion..."mo power"..and bass..Sean Hey Sean,Neither Eldartford nor I totally denied that L & C do lose power.Eldarford: "Passive crossovers do not absorb power to the degree that you suggest." &I wrote: "Inductors will dissipate some heat as a coil of wire will have some re... | |
| speaker excursion..."mo power"..and bass..Sean Sean,Good explanation overall but I think that there are a few things that might be mis-represented:* "As taken from Audio magazine September 1975 in an article entitled "Bi-Amplification - Power vs Program Material", it was demonstrated that an a... | |
| WADIA 861 versions question Bigcapo,My used 860 was factory upgraded to an 861 sometime in 2001 & it has the 3 filter choices. They can be accessed exactly as Hifigy wrote. Look @ the bottom of your 861 to find the Wadia sticker & see the manuf date of the unit. If i... | |
| ARC Reference 2 MkII Preamp white noise levels At the risk of having all the ARC fans on my case: I see that Lamm also uses vacuum tube rectifier circuits in his power supply. Thus, far I have not read any Lamm preamp owner crib about excessive while noise levels. (if this is not the case, ple... | |

| Jolida 302 convrted to a 502? Thanks for the feedback Ponterio22554.Looks like you want a walk-thru on how to change EL34 ckts to a KT88 ckt. Right?Looks like you are handy too, which is good.Here's what you can do to help yourself: call up JoLida & ask for the 302A or B c... | |
| Jolida 302 convrted to a 502? I own a JoLida 502A & bought it over the 302A or B 'cuz (altho' the EL34 tubes have a magical midrange, the power o/p was unlikely to be sufficient for my needs) of the 502A power o/p.>>"The pro shops offer an upgrade that does little mo... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Ok guys: you bring up some valid arguments! Jafox: I'm 100% sure of the power amp in that the technology of the flagship line has (so far) trickled down to my model # of power amps. I know this 'cuz the person I bought my amps from upgraded to the... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Dear Randy,I think that I can understand where you are coming from & why you feel the need to defend the ARC Ref 1.Yes, my conclusion is not totally scientific but it is not out-of-line either.I own power amps from the very same company that t... | |

| Speaker Efficiency Question? >>I was told that if a speaker is of the 4 ohm variety that you have to reduce the efficiency rating by 5 dbs.Well, it depends........On what?? It depends on how the manuf. spec'd the efficiency. Did he say 93dB/1W or did he say 93dB/2.83V??... |
