| Phase inverting preamps Herman, I think we all including Sugarbrie agree; it is just a matter of terminology. I have a Conrad Johnson preamp and in the owners manual CJ uses the term phase inversion, not polarity to describe reversing the speaker wires. So even the manuf... | |
| Phase inverting preamps Put another way; if a system is phase correct and a recording has sounds out of phase; your system reproduces for your ears to hear, what that out of phase music sounds like. That reproduction of the out of phase sound is in phase. If you reverse ... | |
| Phase inverting preamps I guess I agree that a recording with the polarity wrong has no affect on the phase of your system. The + signal (and minus) of DC current going through your hardwired system cannot be reverse solely based on music encoded on a piece of media, whe... | |
| What's the best 5 disc cd player for under 1,000? Sorry I am laughing. That Stan Warren Aiwa/MSB combo is what the Chicago Audio Society uses as their reference CD player. It is compared against all other players they demo. (see www.chicagoaudio.org) Show as where your Rad Shack player has beat i... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? The Bose is even more wife friendly. Since you like them better than B&W you should buy them. | |
| Ebay auctions referenced at AudiogoN? I have a pet peeve about posts that are pet peeves. I learn nothing from them. | |
| Adcom "B" stock amp into my NAD C340 integrated? I upgraded gradually in small increments. So small that in most cases I purchased the slightly better component for the same amount of cash that I sold the old one for. After a few upgrade steps I had a much better system than what I started out w... | |
| UPS FEDEx damage claims handling database? My only mishap was a UPS package that never arrived at its destination. Since it was lost or stolen when in their hands they paid the insurance claim pretty quickly. | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? It seems strange to me that the two posters who dislike all B&W speakers are both new member who just signed up and are making their first posts. I wonder if they are existing members who set up an alias to hide their identity? | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? This post is all boom, sizzle and fatiguing. | |
| alternate method of bi-wiring If you are using jumpers, you are not bi-wiring. Only one path is carrying the signal from the amp. | |
| CD - upgrade, replace used, buy new? Tswhitsel: You seem to change components so often, how can I tell if anything is good or bad? Stan Warren recommends a month of burn-in on his DVD player mods to get to 100% of its potential. Out of the box they sound thin. | |
| Where can I buy Monitor Audio speakers on the web? You can find them at: http://www.osht.com/Natalie: Based on other threads I have browsed, is there anything you like? I am reminded of Mikey of the old Life Breakfast Cereal commercials who hated everything. (I guess you like Sonic Frontiers.) | |
| Best Speaker cables on the cheap? Just keep in mind that folks who don't believe cables matter have probably never owned or experimented very much with expensive cables. So they probably really don't know for sure. Some of those have poor hearing. I think you should experiment for... | |
| Simple B&W Nautilus 804 Question Thanks to all. The B&W site was down yesterday, which prompted the post; but is back up today. I traded eMails with Todd McLellan at their US headquarters and we figured out it did not have the transit clamp attached; it is just the flat drive... |
