| Blindfold Speaker testing huh? Six pairs of speakers with different distances from each other and from the rear and side walls, all muted by a curtain. I can't wait? | |
| OK - Now What…? pedroeb Internal Reflection Control is B&W's middle name. Check out the real Nautilus, not the 800 series, although they do a great job, too. Some people actually like the bass augmentation of non-damped internals. I have even heard them s... | |
| Appreciation Well, we have hurricane season approaching. I will hide out in Tennessee when they get here. Of course, one missed us in Southern Florida, and went through Tennessee to New York from the Gulf of Mexico. Time for a bike ride! Bye | |
| Appreciation millercarbon For every adage, there is an antithesis: Out of sight; out of mind. | |
| What is the Make and Model of this speaker? Those quad specs seem odd. IThe one speced must have a very weak power supply. If so, the quad mode should work better. My Fisher had 35 wpc x 4 or 90 wpc x 2. My old Bryston 100 watt amp (3B) is 100 per in stereo and 400 in mono, i.e. two of t... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration My B&W older 803's, as well as my stacked DM24's sat on top of my stereo subs. I measured the woofers on all speakers and phase aligned them. I know that it is taught that sub-wooferage is non-directional, but tell that to my ex-laundry room... | |
| Problem with Bryston 4B SST. The man who repairs out of warranty Bryston has a set of parts he will install no matter what the issue. I sent a preamp in for a new power cord and got a note on my bill, "Standard (refurbish?) kit". I might have forgotten the exact word follow... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Some mention "No Noise".. Where have you been? My 1971 and 1996 Audire Fortes have no noise. Neither did my 1985 Audire model 2, 1990's Sumo, 1970's Phase Linear 400, nor my old $50.00 garage sale Adcom 535. Well, actually I had to orient the Ph... | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? Leaving the amp on at all times puts the anal in analogue.Oh, I was going to save that for the turntable crowd. | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? I believe that if you have a well regulated power supply, an amp can be turned off. As Paul of PS Audio says, the huge turn on current of amps can eventually damage them. My Audire's have 4 26.000 mf filter caps per channel to fill, but with one... | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks Mostly Direct to Disc LP's:Sheffield: Thelma Houston's Pressure Cooker, Harry James' "Coming From A Good Place"Dixie Direct (D to D): Rosie O'Grady's Good Times Jazz Band. From the delicate sounds of a triangle (Intro to "Japanese Sandman"), to... | |
| My experience with bi-wiring I am not a bi-wire person, but do admit that it is possible that two different wires might have different characteristics for bass vs everything else. Bi-wiring with identicle wires does no more than maybe make up for wires being to small to begi... | |
| Violin Moves All Over the Sound Stage Since Stern was 81 when he died in 2001, I wonder if the recording is digital, or if you just have a digitized copy. BUT! He might be moving around the Microphone. | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings Nothing to do with "great systems", but I have a double pole, double throw switch to bypass my sub crossover. This allows a lot of harmonics to be added to make up for how horrible many old LP's sound. | |
| What’s the relationship between gain (dB) and power (watts)? That Bryston gain switch would be to match the volume of two disparate amps on the same preamp. |
