| Speaker balance control Thanks again, Kiddman. I agree that attenuation does seem the best approach. What remains, then, is choosing the right way to achieve it. The Dspeaker, although kind of expensive, sounds like a good potential solution and, if it actually does ever... | |
| Speaker balance control I've already addressed some of those issues to no avail. My listening position was nearer the right speaker to begin with and 6 months ago, I moved to a position in the center about 15' from them. The listening room is actually my living room with... | |
| Power and low volume listening - my imagination? Thanks Saki and Beewax. I'm providing a short history regarding my attempt at resolving the issue of high fidelity low volume listening and it's relationship to/dependency on adequate power, if for no other reason than to provide a possible shortc... | |
| Power and low volume listening - my imagination? Ok, I got the Peachtree 220 this morning and have been using it for about 4 hours. The improvement is amazing. There are certain things that I expected to hear such as tighter bass but the sound is better throughout the entire frequency range; voc... | |
| Power and low volume listening - my imagination? Thanks Lloydelee. That makes sense and I made a decision. Coincidentally, I went to use the system this morning and the B&K bit the dust (a subtle hiss and squeal followed by garbled sound), making the decision to do something a bit more press... | |
| Stopped looking for the best system Once again, JMC, we seem to be on the same page. In this case I agree with your comment about multiple systems but, even if I were inclined to do so, I don't have the budget or space for this approach. Some of the music that I listen to with my se... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it I agree with you, Nonoise. Regardless of sometimes vastly differing opinions, most arguments are well taken and, to use your description, consistently civil. It's refreshing and provides some comfort for those of us who may be somewhat less knowle... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it When I started this thread I fully expected it to be a subject with a wide range of opinions. It seems, though, that most listeners agree that interconnect and speaker wire choice make a noticeable difference but, and this is what amazes me, there... | |
| Ampli 7.1 or stereo? I have used quite a few different stereo amps and multi channel receivers over many years in this hobby and have owned one NAD receiver which I thought was quite good. I currently have a powerful 7.1 channel receiver which I use for movies and T.V... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Thanks, Rpfef, for sharing this. It is in step with suspicions that I have gradually developed on my own over my 50+ years of involvement in this hobby. A few years ago I tried a less comprehensive listening test which was inspired by a friend who... | |
| Splicing small to larger speaker wire- how to Thanks, Zd. The pin idea is a good one and I had already tried to find pin connectors that would accommodate 10 gauge wire locally (Radio Shack) with no luck. I will do as you suggest as soon as I locate pins that will but, in the meantime, I'm us... | |
| Use receiver for power output from integrated amp Thank you for these comments. I spoke with the fine folks at Rogue Audio; they said to use the variable pre-out to the receiver from the Sphinx, find a level that is good on the Sphinx for CD and use the receiver for volume control. This setup is ... | |
| Martin Logan Odyssey power supply board testing Even though this doesn't appear to be a popular thread, I have more info that may be helpful to the apparently few that may be dealing with this situation. I removed the board and attempted to find the culprit component(s) to the extent, at least,... | |
| Using same speaker pair with two different amps OK, for those of you still following this thread, the problem is resolved in the simplest of ways. I connected the fixed tube pre output from the Sphinx to the CD input of the receiver. Now I can use the same speaker pair for stereo as well as L/R... | |
| Using same speaker pair with two different amps It looks like the Snell DPS1 is the most straightforward approach allowing the use of the Sphinx for music, with the receiver relegated to TV and DVD, both powering the same speaker pair.Please tell me what I might expect from this approach; use t... |
