| Power cord length Hello Wrighton! Don't let anybody fool you. It's your home and your property. Measure carefully add an inch or two for safety (just in case you OOOPS), get out your screw drivers and wire cutters and shorten it so it fits better for you. Observe ... | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? Let's not make this any more complicated than necessary. If the Onkyo has preamp outputs for the front two channels, feed those to the tube amp and connect the Klipsh speakers directly to the tube amp. Don't connect speakers to the L and R termina... | |
| Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage Hello Cdavis2260! As a fellow Maggie owner and amp snooper, Starke Sound's 4 channel amp will give you great performance in the stereo mode. New, thay are $1400, but go on sale now and then for as low as $1000. Maybe you can find one used. I have ... | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? Hello Audiovicker. Do you understand that 9 watts is not an insugnificant amount of "power"? 90 watts is only 10db louder than 9 watts. If you want to rattle the walls with sound, then the 300B amps are not for you. For most people, normal list... | |
| Cables from amp to preamp or longer speaker cables… Hello Thomastrouble! Think about professional installations. Almost always, the control board is near the back of the venue (hall, theater, auditorium, church, stadium) and the amps are very close (just a few feet - eliminating worrys about speake... | |
| New to vinyl question All the tech/tracking advice is good. But . . . if most records sound good, and only a few "pop" records (metal bands in particular) sound awful, it is quite possible that the record itself is at fault. Many 'mass market" are made to sound loud an... | |
| Are There Improvements that Can Be Easily and Quickly Made Without Buying More Stuff? It may seem silly, be sure your ear canals are free of wax. I have senior citizen friends who never thought abut this and were astonished when they used an ear cleaning kit from the drugstore. Neither he or his wife had ever thought about it. Happ... | |
| DAC recommendations Hello Earthbound! I have eight DACs, admittedly none of the multi thousand dollar ones, and I recommend the Sony HPA-3. It's one of those portable DAC/headphone units. It is very musical, uncolored, and is a joy to listen to. It was immediately a... | |
| life span/failure rate of filter capacitors? Since you are blowing fuses, the amp is pulling a lot of current during warmup time. If the filte r capacitors are the cause, then the rectifier tube (if the amp has one) is being stressed an could be damaged. Certainly, replace the caps and the r... | |
| Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues Hello jazzjunkie80923. Put both speakers side by side - almost touching. Do you have bass? If No, check those speaker wires again. Are both woofers moving? If Yes, the placement is the problem and the room is causing the problem, As a double check... | |
| Bob Carver tube amps Hello silverfoxvtx1800. It is easy to knock a product you have never heard or never owned. Carver is so controversial folks love him or they hate him. He pioneered open baffel speakers with lots of woofers and long flat panel tweeters, itsy bitsy ... | |
| Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there? Hello Kenjit. Wooden box speakers are traditional, easy to pack and ship, easy to place in a home (flat bottoms), easy to put things on (flat tops), easy to mount speakers (the actual drivers + crossover parts) in (flat fronts and backs), easy to... | |
| What exactly is a speaker box sound? Listen to some Magnepans or Martin Logan electrostats playing music you know well. Your music, not someone else's. Take a CD or thumb drive with you. Listen carefully. If you don't hear a better version of you music, stick to what you have and be ... | |
| I need an Audio Detective Hello jr96aolcom. It is possible your two devices share a code your remote control is sending. Put a piece of opaque tape over one of the two units and see what happens. If not successful, put the tape on the other unit and try again. No improveme... |
