| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Musical Fidelity bi-polars are much clearer than Creek Mosfet. | |
| Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers Shoe, Wal-mart sells them. Much nicer than the regular wood. Bamboo is thinner and harder. I'm so impressed with mbamboo cutting board, I may get bamboo hardwood floors put down. Who knows, maybe reside my house with bamboo too :-). | |
| Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers Hi Creeper, thanks for the interest. No JTM clone. Because I only listen at 70dB, a single driver speaker is practical for the way I listen. Furthermore because they beam above 3-4kHz, I don't have problems anymore with boosts in HF from wide disp... | |
| Does a listening room help or hinder? Bigjoe, if I had my way, I'd let the whole darned neighborhood hear some music :-).I was thinking about doing a post on "Listening habits - how do you listen to your stereo". Probably a stupid idea so never did. But I listen while working (or play... | |
| Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers Hi Newbie,Parts Express may not be advertising it yet but you can contact them as they already have a part number for it, I don't have it now. Brief specs on the W4-1320:Fo = 75 HzVas = 5.9 LMmd = 3.243 gMms = 3.490 gBL = 4.802 TMQms = 1.488Qes = ... | |
| Help: good value amp for Epos M12.2s? You could try Marantz. From what I understand their older CD-63 was a bit bright, the newer stuff being better. I think NAD was known for its amps and Marantz for its CDP. Maybe you could get a used Stereophile "A" rated Marantz SA-8260 ($1099 new). | |
| Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers Hi Pete,I thought Jalanc was talking about bamboo drivers, not cabinets. Tang-Band is coming out with a bamboo driver sold by P-E. | |
| Best isolation device Bob_bundus, how do glass doors affect resonant glare?MANA uses glass shelves to great effect. I would recommend thick (at least 1/4") tempered glass. Like anything in audio, try it, you might like it. | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? "The first time you can hear the subwoofers right blended on your stereo home audio system: YOU NEVER COULD LIVE WITH OUT THEM AGAIN, ANY ONE CAN, period"Nope. I can live very happily without subs and their associated costs and problems. Fortunate... | |
| Help: good value amp for Epos M12.2s? Don't waste your money on Cambridge. Get the Creek A50i. Maybe a little more distortion and not quite as clear as the 5350 and also bass a little less clean but the differences are small. | |
| Lowdown on Sonic Impact Class T amp Rlwainwright, who sells it for $19? | |
| Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers You can DIY your own. Partsexpress.com has, or will soon have, Tang-Band 4" drivers for $34 ea. Pop 'em in their pemade cabinets at $125 /pr and you've got high-end speakers for $200. | |
| RCA Splitters www.partsexpress.com sells them. Not the fancy kind just the basic spaghetti wire stuff. | |
| Buget system idea? Gmood1, Ronnie mentioned how many people with Quads have switched to his single driver speaker. Those Clari-T mono-blocks sound real interesting. Let us know how they work out. | |
| transparency vs. detailed Transparency = low background noise. Electrical hash, crosstalk, speaker x-over haze, bad AC power, stranded speaker wire all reduce transparency.Detail = hear intricate parts of music like from e-stats or multi-driver dynamic speakers.I think of ... |
