| SET Recommendation Putting together a 2a3 based system can become a very expensive proposition especially if you are not into DIY speakers. You will need very sensitive speaker with a benigh impedance which will necessitaste very low noise tubes and associated equip... | |
| Did Wilson change the Duette's tweeter? My friends Duette's are 6 months old and have the 1 inch silk dome tweeter. I doubt Wilson changed tweeters, otherwise they would have re-launched it as a series 2, bump the price up $2K, and have all the magazine declaring the old series 1 sounds... | |
| B&W D800 D802 VS. W/P 8 IMHO not the best choice of speakers for near field listening. Need to know more about your associated equipment before anyone can give you any valued input. | |
| How to protect the wood finish of speakers. Photon46 is correct. Two options, curtains, or a UV filter film (made by 3M) installed on your windows. Also, periodically, switch your left with your right speaker around to get an even tan. | |
| who has experience with Joseph Audio? Although I have limited exposure to Joseph speakers, I cannot recall reading anything bad about them....ever! | |
| DIY XLR Cables: Questions Yes, pre-tin the cable ends prior to the final solder. It all starts with a good connection, therefore, I always buy the best that I can afford when it comes down to cable connectors. Good luck | |
| MAC Autoformers? I would guess that that a Mac with autoformer will sound good => better => best depending on the speaker load. A very demanding speaker load, the autoformer will be of a benefit, therefore, in theory, better sounding. A speaker with a very b... | |
| Canary ca-160 or ConradJohnson premier 12 If you can get a CJ Premier 12 for $2500, that would bge my direction. | |
| CANADIANS - Can we use the PS AUDIO Power Port AC Your best bet is to contact PS Audio to see if their receptacles meet Canadian code. I would assume so since they are marketed to Canadians and that their power plants meet Canadian standards. | |
| Krell KSA 300S or FPB 300? The KSA 250 has balanced inputs and SE inputs. The heat generated by the amp has a tendency to potentially dry out caps, therefore, requiring replacement. With respect to heat, the amp does not need any additional cooling, it just raises the room'... | |
| Krell KSA 300S or FPB 300? The "S" series stands for Sustained Plateau Bias technology which was first introduced in the Krell Audio Standard. This is a variation on the "sliding bias" idea, except that bias is changed in discrete steps rather than continuously. A so-called... | |
| Krell KSA 300S or FPB 300? IMHO, the Krell KSA "S" series amplifiers were one of Krell's worst efforts. I would take an older KSA150, KSA250 MDA srries etc. over any of the "s" series amplifiers. I also think that the FPB was much better that the "s" series. | |
| right/left orientation Facing the speakers i.e. from the audience's perspective. It is the opposite from the performer's perspective which is referred to as "stage Left or Right". | |
| kt88 tube placement If you draw a line between pin 4 and pin 8, the line should be horizontal to the ground (left to right) and oppose to vertical line (up and down). | |
| kt88 tube placement I would assume that they want you to make sure that the tube sockets in your amp are oriented in such a way that the pin guide will ensure that pins 4 and 8 are on a horizontal plane and not vertically. If not, you might have to change the orienta... |
