| Vibrapods under speakers I have used the pods and have had good results under a preamp and a ariston table.Never tried them under speakers but I have thought about it.This is in regards to them getting squished after a few weeks.Put them on a cookie sheet and bake at 100 ... | |
| Pass Aleph-3 questions Dud,Im starting to swing your way with your concerns of the possiblilty the 99's impedence specs are tainted.It could be my metal dome tweeters also or a combination.Im curious if the headphone output would be a clue.I have to turn it up to at lea... | |
| Pass Aleph-3 questions Dekay,I had Kimber 8TC, Harmonic Tech.Pro-11 and MIT T-2 biwire for an audition and I went with the MIT.They pushed the upper mids back a bit without losing detail.They also have the best bass of the bunch.The soundstage seems more natural also.Th... | |
| Pass Aleph-3 questions I would say 200 wpc with 92 dB speakers is plenty of power for rock and metal and probably over kill! The Pass is 30 wpc and Im almost there now.It plays louder than I need but as I have said it gets bright at very high volume.Its a single ended a... | |
| Pass Aleph-3 questions My speakers are 92 dB 8 ohm.It sounds wonderful at moderate volume but when I push it hard it becomes very bright.I have tried different tubes in my 99,different interconnects,speaker cables,different speaker placement,room treatment.I have tamed ... | |
| Rogue Tempest Integrated Listener magazine reviewed the Tempest in their latest edition.It received a very good review.I havent heard it but Im sure it would be a great choice. | |
| Pass Aleph-3 questions Sean,thanks for the reply.I should have been clearer.I would run 2 Aleph-3's as monos.I believe this may work.Anyone doing this? | |
| bat vk 60 vs rogue mono 120s Leafs, the 80 is a 3 way design.It has an aluminum dome tweeter,kevlar mid driver and a ? bass driver.I believe both are 7 inch.It has 2 sets of posts which I use with MIT T-2 biwires.I got into Paradigm early in my addiction and I had a 100% trad... | |
| bat vk 60 vs rogue mono 120s Leafs,I have Paradigm Studio 80's 8ohm-92dB.Why do you ask? Dave | |
| Marble to place speakers on? I find this thread interesting.For a couple of years I have considered this as I have an old,crack infested wooden floor that makes spiking the speakers through the carpet/pad difficult.I never seem to be able to get them solidly spiked.My concern... | |
| 2000 Rega Planar2 Rute1-I tried o find ot if the P-2 has been upgraded but failed in my search.I just saw the new P-3 and if the P-2 has been upgraded then Im sure it would be the same.The P-3 has the P-25 and P-9 plinth added.But it is a one piece plinth.The P -25... | |
| Marble to place speakers on? Where do you guys get this marble? Just 3 days ago I put some ceramic tile 1/4"X 12"X 18" under my speakers.It was very cheap ($2ea.) and it was all I could find that would fit.I have my speakers spikes almost all the way into the speakers.They ar... | |
| bat vk 60 vs rogue mono 120s Leafs,no I have never heard the M-120's.Right now they are a bit pricey for me.My Pass was a deal I couldnt resist.It had less then 50 hours on it,1 year old and it came from Jim Smith of Aventgarde USA.He used it for a couple shows then put it aw... | |
| Out of Control Craig,you are so right about the "simple" Pass Aleph's! I opened up my 3 after I got it for a look and I said "nothing there"! Cant believe this thing listed for $2500.00! The price sure isnt for the metal and whats inside. | |
| bat vk 60 vs rogue mono 120s Yes catman,Mark is a class act.He has always bent over backwards to make my obsessive ass happy.When I first got my 99/phono I was concerned about the low level hiss from the phono stage.I sent the phono to him to check out and he found it to be v... |
