| Cable Elevators killed my bass That is really weird. Are you using the ceramic ones? | |
| Help Please. Phono stage for Denon 103R Given that there is not alot of headroom with regards to the gain, do you think the Harbeths would be sensitive enough to accommodate this? Well, that's the $10,000 question, isn't it?I would think(nut not know) that the one place that not having ... | |
| Help Please. Phono stage for Denon 103R Maybe, but you would be cutting it close for the minimum gain needed if you are still using the Audio Research VSi55 and Harbeth Super HL5's. Really depends on the size of your room, listening position, and volumes that you like to hear.The AR VSi... | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? Louisl,Tvad is most likely dead-on to the source of your "power" problem. I have a very easy(and relatively cheap) test/solution for you...Get ahold of some Zeros (Speaker Impedance Multiplying Autoformer) - by Paul Speltz. They can raise the spea... | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? Just bustin' your chops, Gallant, sorry | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? So in summary, the TRL GT-800 kicks butt of everything else that I have tried or heard, including the SS ams in the bass area, as well as any area of sound, subjectiveky and objectively alike. And at $140,000 (14x-28x the max Keithmundy is looking... | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? All depends on what speakers you're driving. used Atma-Sphere MA-1 Mk 3(140wpc@8ohms) for ~$7k-$9k or for a little north of $10k used, if you can ever find them, Atma-Sphere MA-2 Mk II (220wpc@2/4/8ohms)Audio Research Reference 300 MKII monoblocks... | |
| Todd Rundgren Best of Lp's Rundgren suffered from a form of "musical attention deficit disorder"...I just listened to "Todd", "Todd Rundgren's Utopia", and "Initiation" the other night. All have incredible songs and musical passages, but there is also a lot of ill-advised f... | |
| Suck out at 165 hz...can't find the cause Hi Dgaylin,Give us the dimensions of your room so I can post some graphs and data from the room mode calculator. Then, maybe we all can walk you through the most obvious possible culprits.Also, a picture or two of your listening room would help. | |
| Suck out at 165 hz...can't find the cause What's the dimensions of your room?Have you used a graphical room mode calculator to see what modes your room dimensions create?If not, you can just enter your room measurements into this webpage (for Axial, Tangential, & Oblique room modes), ... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? That's awesome, Lloyd. I bet those Strads really shine with the extra reserve power on tap. Better tell your neighbor to get used to it, because from here out "The House's gonna be rockin" | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? personally i see no reason to go OTL first and put in Speltz Autoformers later because of bad speaker impedance. why not choose 'good' speakers first? Agreed, but sometimes a person is already heavily invested in their speakers(emotionally or fina... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Hi Lloyd, Zero's are nothing more than impedance matching transformers(actually autoformers - just a primary instead of the primary & secondary in transformers). They serve exactly the same function as output transformers in tube power amplifi... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? I know were are talking about absolute "reference" level speakers and components here, but I'm surprised that with this many suggestions and responses so far, no one has recommended simply trying Paul Speltz Zero Autoformers to increase the impeda... | |
| Cogent horns Steve & Rich of Cogent have spoken really highly of Bill Wood's horns at Acoustic Horn Company. A few years back, I asked where could I get the best performance for the money, within my budget, and that is exactly where they pointed me.I reall... |
