| Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions Thanks, that's good to hear. A friend has his eye on a used Cary SET for me (don't know the model yet) that it looks like I'll be able to audition in my home. I'll post the results. Also, I've pretty much decided that I'm keeping the 3a's in my sy... | |
| Audiophile Club In South East Florida. Rediculus, you might want to contact Larry at Hollywood Sound. Relatively equidistant from Miami and Pompano Beach areas but a stretch for those in the Palm Beaches. Like I said, though, I'm willing to drive pretty far. | |
| Recent sound deterioration shrillness, ringing Thanks, Kijanki, even though I only sort of understand your explanation as it might apply to my situation your reference to switching inspired me, for some reason to look look at my interconnects again as possible culprits. This may be because, be... | |
| Recent sound deterioration shrillness, ringing Thank you. I'll try to address each of your comments together. 1. I've been using the Behringer for well over a year so to whatever extent it degrades the sound, it becomes relative because the system has always sounded fine until now. 2. When I s... | |
| External DAC -general questions Thanks, Chayro. Where was my brain; of course, the signal coming from the DAC, wouldn't be seen as digital by the preamp. My preamp does have multiple ways of receiving digital signals and I use them for a couple of sources. These, then, would be ... | |
| External DAC -general questions So if using a quality converter ahead of the preamp it sounds like it defaults to using the already converted signal. This being the case, assuming the outboard DAC is better than the preamp's converter, leaving it installed is probably the best c... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection ZD, the ML's are wonderful and I still have them but when I was looking for a pair of speakers for my little garage system, I came across these Reference 3A serie's and just couldn't pass them up. I don't know if you've ever heard them (these are ... | |
| Toe-in recommendation for stand mount monitors Thanks, Tim. That's almost exactly the toe-in I used for the transducers and what you say makes sense. I do have a difficult room with an additional issue re a partial wall near, behind and to the right of my listening position. The effect that th... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection Thanks. I was just given the solution; Behringer called back and assured me that the 1/4" unbalanced aux out jack was ok to use as the sub out connection, so I hooked it up that way and it works fine. All I had to buy was 2 mono 1/4" jacks to RCA ... | |
| Toe-in recommendation for stand mount monitors Ok and thanks. I ordered the recommended items and have temporarily settled on 15 ft speaker separation with very slight toe-in. It sounds good and I imagine that there will be an acclimation curve having left the world of electrostats. The Ethos ... | |
| Toe-in recommendation for stand mount monitors For a very long time I've used the Martin Logan curved panels which are quite dependent on positioning so have possibly become a little over attentive to those requirements. I've had 5 pairs of these over the years and never had any of them in the... | |
| Audiophile Club In South East Florida. I'm in Lighthouse Point and would be willing to travel a significant distance to meet others in the area. Very interested. Jim | |
| Master Master Control MMC 3A Serie Reference Speakers Thank you, Swampwalker. I too was concerned about their ability to handle lower frequencies so bought a small high end sub (29-200Hz) from the same guy. The MMCs are rated to 40Hz which more than satisfies most of my listening but there are times ... | |
| Martin Logan tranducer panel slipped Balou, what I did was to lean the speaker back about 10-15 degrees, place a piece of 2X4 cut to just fit between the floor and the panel its backward leaning position then allow the speaker to come back forward so the weight is now being supported... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? I've been in this hobby since 1958 when I built my first Heathkit amp and "Sweet Sixteen" speaker (monaural) in jr high school. Since then I have owned very many speakers, both "boxed" and planar. I won't go into the tech aspects as that has alrea... |
