| Switch between amps Yes, you can do this. The easiest way is to use a HIGH QUALITY speaker selector switch. Luxman and Van Alstine make these. I haven't used the VA box but it looks good. I regularly use a Luxman AS-50R for making A/B tests on speakers.There is a cur... | |
| Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you? For those of you with a myriad of arguments against using a GOOD speaker selector I say great, don't use one. I find it almost essential for making A/B comparisons. No, there is no free lunch so you have to do some work, like figuring out how to l... | |
| is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable?@guitarsam - not due to, in spite of. From a noise perspective, turntables only contribute to the noise floor. What a better (but not necessarily expensive) turntable provides is... | |
| Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns You don't need a lot of amp for Klischorns. In fact, you don't want a lot of amp for these speakers. The tube types for SET amps that verdantaudio listed above will work great. I'll throw a few other suggestions at you:- decware: some of the best ... | |
| Why not more dealers take trade ins? I think that almost any dealer will take a trade-in. The problem is the delta between what most buyers expect to receive for the trade-in gear vs. what a dealer can actually pay for that gear and cover additional direct expenses such as service an... | |
| Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you? Yeah. Don't.Nonsense. Or maybe true if you are using a cheap switch. Niles, anyone?A good selector switch is really a set of time adjusted relays that have little or no effect on the signal pass through them. I own and have used a Luxman AS-50R ... | |
| McIntosh, your experience? whatjd, you really haven't given us with enough information to provide you with a useful answer. McIntosh is a manufacturer who has been in business for a long time. They have made a variety of gear in all types. Are you interested in new mac gear... | |
| Any NEAT love here? Comparing mini stand mount speakers.... Which model Neat speakers are you interested in? And are you planning to place them on a long or short wall? | |
| What the heck do these terms mean? Think of the treble as Brylcreem vs Vitalis@isochronism Thanks, lol. I don't think the under 60 crown (either of you) will get it. | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? OK all, I'm officially tired of this thread. I would like to thank jea48 for his gentlemanly responses and his attitude. Jeff, I really wish I could understand which side of a question you are arguing after reading your posts. But I guess that's w... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? @jea48 Jim, I really do appreciate your thoughtful answer. I'm not the smartest guy in the world (you heard it here first) but I am pretty well educated in math, physics, chemistry and metallurgy. Every explanation I have heard of signal direction... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? @jea48 What's the point of linking back to this very thread? I have asked you twice to please explain to me how signal directionality happens or is possible in a passive cable. All you have done is ask me to re-read the yours and others opinions o... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? The signal energy travels down the cables in one direction >>>> from the source to the load, (amp to speakers), in the form of an electromagnetic wave. @jea48 dude, you really might want to take a remedial physics class. I will ask ... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? You guys are hilarious. Speaker cable directionality - it IS possible to intentionally design and construct a "directional cable", but not as a passive device. Think about it: does your directional cable possess differing impedance in either direc... | |
| If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this. @baranyi Yes, that is true. It's especially challenging in that the boss asked me to reduce the amount of audio gear visible in the living room. She might as well have asked me to remove a leg. I can do it, but why???Anyway, I found a great deal o... |
