| P8i Users - Survey I've only run mine balanced; my amps are fully differential. Cables are Pure Note Titanium, 3m to each monoblock.I switch between all the filters and find them quite useful.I also did a long search for a preamp, but found that the P8i sounded bett... | |
| Goodbye CD's I haven't bought a CD in a physical store for quite some time, so I can't say I'm surprised. My listening is 95% classical, and there are no stores near me that have ever had a selection that went past "Best 50 Romantic Classical Hits of All Time"... | |
| Which HIGH-END Player/DAC/Volume Control? I have a P8i that I run directly into heavily-modified BAT VK-120s. It's a phenomenal setup, particularly for classical music. Send me an email if you'd like more detail. | |
| 6 meters of balanced is ok to use with euphoria??? The 22 kohm Zin of the X250 may be a problem. Talk to Sonic Euphoria.... | |
| How hot is too hot? 105 F is no problem at all. 105 C is a big problem. | |
| Best Small budget speakers for girlfriend Get a kit from Madisound or Zalytron. If you are even remotely good w/ a soldering iron, you can assemble a kit (w/ pre-built cabinets, of course) in one evening. Your money goes so much further with kits that it can't be overstated.If you're not ... | |
| REL Subwoofer Cable Upgrade? Personally, I'd forget the cable. An audiophile friend of mine that replaced the rectifiers in the amp of his REL sub reaped better sonic benefits than any cable could ever hope to. | |
| Kharma FE 3.2 - be careful, space crucial I own a set of custom arrays made by Selah Audio. I believe they have designed arrays for quite a few customers in the East. If you decide on an array, I urge you to contact them and see if you can listen to a set...or a couple. The price / perfor... | |
| tweeters & mids - what is their life span? Well, seeing as there's really nothing to wear out, I can't imagine they're anywhere near the end of their useful life. I'm a reliability engineer in the semiconductor industry, by the way.But if you need help justifying a new speaker purchase to ... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Pi Speakers. They have quite a following and are very reasonably priced. Can be had for a steal if you buy the kit. | |
| How does low humidity/static affect your sound? I live in Colorado which is incredibly dry all year. Winter RH if often in the single digits.I use a trick that I learned from George Cardas. Get some large leafy house plants into your listening area and spray them with a mister. Large ferns work... | |
| speakers for 15' by 12' listening room? North Creek had a monitor at RMAF that was one of the best small speakers I've ever heard. You'd almost have to buy new, but their low prices belie the build, finish, and sound quality..... | |
| Speaker Cables...Opinions.... Put the monoblocks behind the speakers, with the rear of the amps facing the speakers. The idea is to get the binding posts on the amps as close as possible to those on the speakers, allowing you to use as little speaker cable as possible. If the ... | |
| Line Array Speakers info please Like Jb0194, I have a set of Selah Audio arrays. Mine are the exact set that are pictured here:http://selahaudio.com/id89.htmlMy crossover has been designed with North Creek coils and Jensen VSF capacitors, so they're not quite the stock offering.... | |
| Are passive preamps better? Geez, I can't believe people still talk about 600 ohms for any reason. No offense, but that went out with disco... |
