| distance between speakers You have the overall Audiokinesis sound pegged very accurately.Those would have been the Dream Makers at RMAF 2007, which I believe won a best of show award from someone. At THE SHOW this year the Planetarium speakers (can't remember the model) we... | |
| distance between speakers At the 2009 THE SHOW the Audiokinesis speakers were from Duke's new Planetarium series. Same with 2008 RMAF. I've been extremely happy with the Jazz Modules. Duke has a forum over on Audio Circle if anyone is interested in learning more about Audi... | |
| Autoformer versus Transformer Passives? Working on getting the new Slagleman's. These are sold by Intact Audio. Sort of a "nude" version of a non-remote TAP-X. I'd like to compare them to my Lightspeed and hopefully can remember enough about the S&B MkI's to make a reasonable compar... | |
| distance between speakers Did anyone answer the OP's question about how to measure the speaker distance from the back wall? I saw a few responses that mentioned driver to driver for the distance apart, but I'm curious about how to measure distance to the back wall myself.F... | |
| DIY balanced interconnects Kirkus, thanks for the explanation. According to the designer of my DAC, the outputs are fully balanced (truly electrically balanced) in that as leg 2 goes up in voltage, leg 3 goes down by the exact same amount. So it sounds like it is differenti... | |
| Autoformer versus Transformer Passives? Your (previously my) K&K used S&B MkI transformers, not MkIII. The difference was the MkI version tended to sound a little warmer. | |
| pc to dac? In your price range you're going to have a lot of options. I'm sure many will chime in with their suggestions. I guess if I were on this hunt (and in some way I am), the first thing I'd want to resolve is the preference for how I want to hook my P... | |
| DIY balanced interconnects I'm a little curious. Let's go with Ralph's theory for a bit. If I own an MP-3 preamp and M-60 amps, then logically, the cable between these should not be an issue with regard to cable artifacts since the MP-3 conforms to the 600 ohm standard. How... | |
| Sota Star Sapphire help You can also get an original packing box from SOTA so you can send it in to them. I do not recall the manual containing any servicing information. However, if you contact Kirk at SOTA he may be willing to spend some time with you to talk you throu... | |
| DIY balanced interconnects The new Rowland preamps, Criterion and Capri, put out much less than 600 ohms. | |
| Are there any Tube Integrateds out there with? The Avatar and Avatar SE are spec'ed at 27 watts triode and 60 watts ultralinear. The Avatar Super packs a bit more punch. Not all Avatars have a preamp out (mine did) or balanced inputs, but I believe all had an HT bypass. No auto bias either, al... | |
| opposite to Supra Well in that case, Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity or any other flat ribbon cable, such as Grover Huffman and Mapleshade. | |

| Help What's Wrong with my System I've recently used the Sumiko Master Set for my speaker placement with great results. It is worth a try and you can do it yourself if a Sumiko trained professional is not near you, as was my case. Try here:http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.... | |
| Tube blows Amplifier fuse....causes? Just a bad tube. I had a similar situation with my Auricle Musicbloc MB 70s. A KT-88 was starting to go bad. Made popping noises occasionally to start, then hum. I imagine if I let it go longer the fuse would have blown.In my case I went straight ... |
