Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers.
stewart0722Planars whether it be magnetic or electrostatic sound their best when fed prodigious solid state juice.....That really depends on the specific speakers. You're certainly mistaken if we're talking about Infinity Betas, for example.    
Vinyl and subwoofers
golferboy BTW, the query "pumping woofer vinyl" resulted in over 100,000 results on Google.That is not at all surprising! There are more cheap turntables in the world than good ones. I'd wager more turntables suffer from improper setup than thos... 
Vinyl and subwoofers
golferboy Why is having the sub only 4 ft away from table a problem with concrete?The concrete has nothing to do with it. The close proximity between subwoofer and turntable suggests you may have some acoustic feedback between the two. That is...

Vinyl and subwoofers
golferboy I have my turntable on the top of a rack 5ft high on top of a 2x2 ft slab of marble. The stand sits on points that sit on carpet and go through to a concrete floor. The speakers are each 4 ft away from the turntable and are also on... 
Vinyl and subwoofers
golferboy I fine-tuned the Clearaudio table and cartridge setup with their vinyl for that purpose. If bad setup were the cause, that would mean I've had many cartridges on two tables over 10 years out of whack. Doesn't seem plausible...but w... 
Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature
simaoThat's a logical fallacy. My saying that Dylan is less deserving than other authors is not the same as my saying my judgment is superior to the Nobel committee's ...On another level, as a literature professor, I feel safe in saying that t... 
Esoteric and Yaqin
tak1 ... we have a tube CD player and a tube pre-amp or even tube amplifier, how do we know how much of the source tubes are influencing the final signal? Would not the pre or power amps masked the sound of the source? No, not if the tube prea... 
Vinyl and subwoofers
golferboy Just read about the KAB rumble filter. I had no idea this problem of pumping woofers was so common. It's almost always a setup problem, not an inherent problem with LP playback. It's best remedied by correcting the setup, rather than by... 
HIGH Quality Electric Service Panel
stickman451 ... you have to junction box the 8 0r 6 down to 10 to fit the receptacle ...You can do that, or you can use a pigtail. Either is acceptable.  
Dipole Asymmetry
bdp24Do you use grand-daddy literally or figuratively, cleeds? Magnepan has probably done more to popularize planar speakers than any other company, but the original Magneplanar Tympani T-I was not introduced until 1971, long after the origin... 
Help With A Turn Table Upgrade
I'd be reluctant to consider any used phono cartridge. 
Dipole Asymmetry
I should have also mentioned what is perhaps one of the grand-daddys of all dipole speakers ... Magnepan. 
What interconnects are you guys using for bi-wiring speakers? I need a Y XLR based cable.
auxinputwow, I have never seen a normal 2-channel preamp that has more than one "active" XLR output. That Classe CP-800 is pretty unique in this sense!It's not unique at all, it's very common. For example, just about every ARC preamp offers tw...

stringreenIt is SOOO much better to use a better stereo amp than it is to bi -amp.That depends on the speakers. And the amplifiers. And of course, some speakers require biamplification; they can't be used with just a single stereo amp.
