| How do I bridge a ML27? I don't think you can bridge this amplifier. Is there a switch for bridged mono, a label on the rear panel with a diagram on bridging, or anything in the manual? | |
| No bass in the Proac Response 3 Do you have the room properly treated? Good bass traps will always smooth out the low freq response and, somewhat counter intuitively, will give you more, not less, bass. | |
| Is two Subs better than One? I have to disagree regarding the frequency and localization issue. I propose that if you believe that you cannot 'localize' a sub that is cutoff below 50 Hz, then try this.Put the sub, LPF set at 50 Hz, at the 1/4 point between the speakers. That ... | |
| SNEAK PEEK: Lansche 4.1 Loudspeaker I don't see any problem if the disclaimer is there. And clearly the post doesn't violate Audiogon rules, or the moderators would not have allowed it in the first place....right?So if you don't like this post, stop reading it at the disclaimer, com... | |
| Duelund Capacitors?? I have the Duelund caps installed in the tweeter high pass xovers of my speakers. I did not do lots of analysis or comparison, but Tony Gee has done an enormous amount. Look at his web page, humblehomemadehifi.com under the 'cap test' heading. He ... | |
| Tube Pre-amp BAT, ARC, EAR, Sonic Frontiers I got rid of the Line 2. My P8i drives BAT monoblocks directly via its balanced outputs and a pair of 3m interconnects. | |
| Grounding DAC chip tweak What are you trying to achieve? Grounding of a DAC chip, as with any other active IC on a PCBA, isn't a tweak; it's done by the engineer(s) who designed the product. | |
| Hybrid - Tube / SS amp capable of sub 1 Ohm loads? Don't flame me here. But you might consider a pro audio amplifier. The switch mode (Class D) pro amplifiers can deliver boatloads of current and are designed to work reliably into low Z loads. They have come a very long way in the past five or so ... | |
| Tube Pre-amp BAT, ARC, EAR, Sonic Frontiers One more thing. I found that my sources and preamp sounded unequivocally better with a power regenerator. Tried numerous conditioners, but nothing was as good as complete regeneration. Not really surprising. I use the PS Audio P500; best $600 I've... | |
| Tube Pre-amp BAT, ARC, EAR, Sonic Frontiers SF preamps are completely balanced input to output. I have the schematics.... | |
| High-current tube amps Define "high current." I'm working on a 100kW tube-based amp at work right now =) | |
| Which amps have 2 sets binding posts per channel All amps potentially can....just find a decent electronics technician to add them to an amp you already like. It's an hour's worth of work (to do it well) and is possibly the easiest, lowest risk mod that a person can make. And if you have a reput... | |
| Feet f/Audible Illusions Modulus 3 Preamp I had this preamp a few years back and tried numerous types of feet with it. Carbon feet worked the best, and I settled on the BDR Type 4.Also remember that proper resonance control REQUIRES three feet, not four. Lord knows why so many manufacture... | |
| New System Recommendation? You have some darn good equipment already. Personally, if it was me, I'd probably keep the speakers and amplifier and start auditioning new sources. I'm confident that you can find a SACD / CD player or a PC-based solution that will meet your need... | |
| Doesn't anyone talk about CENTER SPEAKERS need 1 Center for video: can be different. Center for SACD 5.1 audio: must be identical to front L & R. |
