| Pass vs Levinson Ikarus, When you said "Listen! We can not help you." I took it as the equivalent of shouting at the poster. As in, Listen up to what I'm saying you idiot, we don't have time for this type of post. I now now see that your intention may have been to... | |
| Pass vs Levinson Ikarus,Although I agree that it is difficult to make a recommendation based on so little information, I don't think that ranting at someone serves any purpose other than to make the ranter feel superior to the rantee. I would suggest that you eith... | |
| Help in stoping speaker buzz This is usually caused by a difference in voltage from your system's ground and the ground on your cable. It is not unusual for the cable company to have faulty grounds. You should complain to your cable company and they will come out to inspect t... | |
| To REWIRE or LET BE: a speakers question I don't agree with the idea of "better wire" or "best wire" as used above. The best wire is the wire that sounds the best with these speakers. The only way you are going to find that wire system is to try a variety of wires. And this is a VERY exp... | |
| These are the best Solid State Amps Snooker, if you have a local ML dealer, why not take one home and try it? Other than the hospital bills to repair your strained back and the cuts you will get from the heatsinks, it is cheap entertainment. | |
| To REWIRE or LET BE: a speakers question I say leave them alone. On any high end speaker, you must assume that the designer spent considerable time choosing each component, including wires, to optimize the sound of the speaker as a whole. The only way you will know if changing the wiring... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control I am curious about your comment "Tone controls will only add distortion." What kind of distortion? A well designed tone control will alter the frequency response of the system, and yes, this is a form of distortion. But why would this be worse tha... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Jadem6, Just to throw a little more oil on the fire, you state "To do this I went through some of the recordings I personally find to be well recorded with above average sonic achievements." I believe a more accurate statement would read "To do th... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control You could hook up the Adcom in the tape loop of the CJ and then use the tone controls of the Adcom. Hook the tape out of the CJ to a line level input to the Adcom ( like the AUX in) and the preamp out of the Adcom to the tape in of the CJ. Engage ... | |
| Best tube cd player under 1000? Maybe a little over your budget, but I see Conrad Johnson DV 2B players going for around $1200. This is a very musical player and an incredible bargain at this price. I've had mine for about a year and have no desire to upgrade. | |
| Best Pressing Recommendations Please Classic records (www.classicrecs.com) has released some of these titles and they are excellent. They also released some as single sided 45's and they are magnificent. Unfortunately, some have already sold out, but you see them on eBay for a premiu... | |
| UPS or should I Say Oooops I meant, "of course, you have to have access". Hey Audiogon, How about a message editor????? | |
| UPS or should I Say Oooops I have shipped via UPS with no box. UPS offers a packaging service. They wrap the piece in plastic, put it in a box, and blow in that expanding foam to lock the item in place. It is not expensive, I think no more than $15. It seems to me they woul... | |
| why low impedance speakers? To move the speaker cone and create sound, an electro-magnetic field is created to push and pull against the fixed magnet. This is done by forcing current through the voice coil with the voltage developed by the power amp. The lower the impedance ... | |
| Tubes - What do the letters mean Using the 12AX7 as an example, the 12 is the approximate filament voltage. All AX7 tubes share similar characteristics, of which there are about 20: pinout, base size, gain, plate volts, etc. The letters on the end indicate different versions of t... |
