| Goldpoint Passive Preamps Clio09,I'm interested to know how the Electra Print transformer volume control(TVC) stacks up against the resistor based competition. I have an S&B TVC that I love, but have never tried any other passives.Of course, success depends entirely on... | |
| Speakers to match bottlehead paramour True Thommas,But I can't think of any sub-$1k(that's the limitation) high efficiency monitors that can really do 40Hz.Hell, my 97dB Cain & Cain I-Bens are 6 feet tall and I still use two subwoofers. | |
| Speakers to match bottlehead paramour Well, you're not asking for a lot, are you?Small size AND high efficiency. Oh, and as a kicker, must do bass heavy rock, techno, and hiphop well. That's a tall order for a small speaker. Omega Loudspeakers has their TS33 which almost exactly meets... | |

I have two and it took months using both listening and frequency response tests with an SPL meter to find the best location for optimal performance.Try several locations around your r... | |
| New SET Amp Thanks for that link, I would have never thought Headgear could need that much current. Learn something new every week around here. Since I have zero experience with headphones, take my suggestions with a big grain of salt. But, if you found the C... | |
| New SET Amp Sorry Pawlowski6132,For some reason, I misread the thread and thought you had the 101dB Zu speakers (acutally Warrenh). Now, I realize that you've gone to a headphone system.I have an Art Audio PX-25 amp (no volume control) and it is the greatest ... | |
| New SET Amp Hi Pawlowski6132,The Cary SEI 300B was also my first in-home experience with SET's. It is instantaneously lush, rich, velvety smooth - enough to make most anyone drunk with SET envy. But, after a few weeks, I started to find the sound too lush and... | |
| Widespread Panic - Their best album? "Space Wrangler" is my favorite all-around album. I've seen them live ~8 times over the last 10-12 years. First time I saw them live was in 1995 in the aftermath Hurricane Roxanne somewhere in New Orleans. Somewhere in the midst of a drunken blur ... | |

| DIY 300b SET monoblock Jadem6...bi-amping with SET and the Plinius would allow you to enjoy the benefits of single-ended midrange/highs for all music instead of just small scale acoustic and vocals. Rock and classical would still be just as dynamic and powerful with the... | |
| DIY 300b SET monoblock Aaah Jadem6, I'm an insufferable scifi-techno dweeb. So, my moniker is cross between "Dr. Morbius" from the 1956 movie "Forbidden Planet" and the famous mathematical model Mobius Strip made famous in MC Escher illustrations. Add a heavy dash of ad... | |
| DIY 300b SET monoblock Jamem6,My only major suggestion forthe Walton amp is that you start out with much better output transformers and chokes, they will have the biggest effect on sound and will provide a solid foundation for future upgrades to be revealed.Magnequest m... | |
