| A question to the Sound Engineers out there Most albums are mixed for listening in cars or radio or earbuds these days. The artists must hear the playback and it must be loud and punchy. Serious music may be recorded with critical listeners in mind, if we're lucky. Listen to the Lori Lieber... | |
| Difference between amps Hello PDN. You almost never need more than 10 watts per channel. Receivers generally don't have power supplies that can really supply the "rated" 100+ wpc they might advertise. The gear sold in chain stores is made to a lower standard than so cal... | |
| Any advice? Parasound A21, Ayre V5xe, Benchmark AHB2, or Bryston 4B3? Hi zwango! Try the Starke AD4.320. I have two of them. Superb sound. WAY less than $2K. Never heard a better amp. I also have two of the Purifi Audio EVAL 1 packages. These are the best amps available. Great reviews. No kidding.Happy holidays. | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) Speakers must be "broken in" just like car motors and new shoes. They are electro-MECHANICAL devices and need "experience" to limber up. Even wires need a bit of break in. I did not used to believe it, but experience has taught me. Thank God I'm s... | |
| Speakers good for close to wall placement Larsen! They are made for placement against a wall. They are quite amazing, | |
| sharp and piercing high pitch /frequency coming out from Harbeth C7 I have had problems with sounds generated by other DACs running when I am using my newest & best one. Be sure that the only equipment powered up is the gear you are listening to. The fact that playing LPs is fine is proof that's it's not your ... | |
| BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone? I have never heard a streaming service that sounds as good as a CD. I don't know why it's all the rage unless it's access to a vast range of music. But you can get a vast range of music from You Tube or from the online branch of many radio station... | |
| High end Class D amps? The Starke Sound AD4.320 is as good as the Purifi Audio modules and is a complete, ready to go out of the box amp, As good as anything (yes, anything!) out there. I just bought my second one. Check Google for reviews. On sale at Black Friday pric... | |
| Is it better to have two matched subs or one Hello salevick! For classical music, one is fine. For more ooomph in pipe organ music, percussion, etc. two is obviously better. The big reason for one per channel is home theater use. Crashes, alien approaches, creatures in the bushes sneaking up... | |
| 100 W Tube Amplifier Malfunctioned It sure is sad when stuff blows up! My condolences. the issue could be the frequency of the power; 50 or 60 cycles. A transformer made for 110 volts should be ok from 100 - 125 volts. A transformer made for 50 cps may overheat at 60 cps; that's a ... | |
| Audiophile AC Outlets Hello pgaulke! Any big hardware store will have tamper resistant (kids can't get shocked), very heavy duty 20 amp duplex outlets (Pass & Seymore - LeGrande; they are black nylon faces - hospital grade are yellow and not as good) and blue plas... | |
| High end Class D amps? The Starke Sound AD4.320 is on a "Black Friday" sale for a preposterous price of $839. It is as good as the Purifi Audio modules in the NAD M33 that are getting great reviews. I own both and ordered another Starke today. Check it out! For a review... | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D As the owner of the Purifi Audi amp modules and the Starke Sound AD4.320 (on sale at a ridiculous price - under $900 - Blsck Friday and all that - I'm ordering another one today) this new approach to Class D these two companies are using will reor... | |
| Too terminate or not Hello ghulamr. Parts Conexxion, in Canada is selling Duelund Dual DCA 12 GA speaker wire at $31.95 US/meter. Twenty meters would run you about US$640 and be just about unbeatable. You don't need do-dads on the end. Use it with bare ends. The 16 g... | |
