| my $686 stereo system, laugh if you want... macrojack: actually, I confess to doing a lot of web searching on each piece of equipment. After I bought it though :o) I couldn't pass up the prices. I have sold a bunch of other stereo stuff that I bought at bargain basement prices that paid for... | |
| my $686 stereo system, laugh if you want... classical1; people at local hi-end stereo laughed(laughed, that's correct) when I told them I was rebuilding some ADS L710 speakers. They told me paper woofers, etc. were garbage. I stumbled on a knowledgeable web-site that talked about speaker ma... | |
| my $686 stereo system, laugh if you want... LOL, No but her rendition of Scarborough Fair makes a good "refference CD" to use whenever you buy a new(new?) piece of equipment. Song has a lot of nice features, bass, vocals, naturally that can be used as a standard for your system IMHO. PS: he... | |
| Another wattage question. bombaywalla: thank you for taking time to answer my question. Much clearer now. I always wondered about dynamic headroom spec but was afraid to ask. My "new" amp, an older Audio Research D-100, weighs twice as much as my old Hafler. Can I assume t... | |
| Another wattage question. bombaywalla: another newbie here... thanks for the tech info. I always wondered how that worked, spec wise. I do have a question, however, about "current" delivery. If VxA=Watts how can high current delivery(amps I presume) still give modest watts... | |
| Newby question on watts... Stanwal....I was actually more curious in what I was getting out of my 48 lb amp over the 24lb Hafler receiver, because they both put out 100 watts@8 ohms(both of the same vintage). I was just wondering why a unit needed an extra 24 lbs. to put ou... | |
| Newby question on watts... Thanks for responses. The Hafler went to 170 watts @ 4 ohms. I am using 4 ohm speakers. The Audio Research has never listed their power into 4 ohms? I assume from the beef of the unit that it can easily handle these 4 ohm speakers? | |
| my $686 stereo system, laugh if you want... LOL. That's how it starts huh? You mean there is no just dipping your toe in the shallow end of the pool? | |
| my $686 stereo system, laugh if you want... Atomickid: Also had a pair of Dynaco A25 speakers that I found at a garage sale for $10. What a great sounding pair of speakers for their size. Still a good following for them. Sold them for $85. Helped pay for some of my other stuff. | |
| my $686 stereo system, laugh if you want... Thanks people for your kind respones. I am on the floor weeping reading about Ncarv and sogood51 systems. In retrospect, I shouldn't have even posted looking at what can be acomplished. Anyway neophytes(like me), you can, however, have a whole lot... | |
| Power cords Appreciate all the responses. I have come to the conclusion from all the feedback that the system I am putting together doesn't merit an expensive PC. I think $ for a decent tuner is money much better spent. | |
| Power cords Warrenh: appreciate the advice. I think you are right. I will try to borrow some PC from a local high end shop and see if I can hear a difference. Thanks, Gary. | |
| Power cords Warrenh: He isn't my friend in the business. He is a very knowledgeable owner of a middle/high end electronics repair shop who has done business there for many years. I think for that reason alone he probably has a clue. I read where some 'goners ... |
