| Can an amp overdamp a speaker? Looking at the specs on the Totem I think you'll have no problem. The little boogers are 4 ohm and fairly low efficiency. The 4 ohm resistance actually lowers the effective damping of the whole amp/cable/speaker system. In general, damping is less... | |

| Am I getting it all? Dan, thanks for the followup, since we often don't hear how things end. Once you get things relocated let us know how the move worked.Dave | |
| Rowland Concerto integrated vs Rowland Capri & 102 Good stuff Guido. Ultimately you'll need to explore the Continuum vs. the 312/Capri setup. Hopefully I'll be able to do that for myself very soon.I've now heard the Capri driving Mahlers through a 312 and the DALI Helicon 400.Mk2 through the 501s.... | |
| Premium guitar cables? Do they exist? Interesting thought about balanced cables out beyond 20'. I've never had a problem with 20' cables, but now that you mention it, that's a little surprising. It could be that all my guitars are really top end, with good shielding and proper install... | |
| Need advice on loudspeakers Southern California 03-27-08: Audiomax said:"Assuming that you don't use car electronics to drive your new speakers..."Don't worry about this remark. Some of us think that the very best sounding amps and preamps are what Audiomax calls "car electronics". He's referri... | |
| I Have 100K for Speakers? Some of us have millions of dollars in the bank. As a friend recently said, "now that we're dealing with 'play money' what about doing this or that". At some point the number of zeroes loses relevance when considering expenditures.Now the question... | |

| Tube vs Tran 03-26-08: David12 wondered:"I just wonder how many people go from SS to tube, or tube to SS. My suspicion is, once you have tried tubes, for most of us, there is no way back. Nor are tube amps wooly and soft, my tube integrated is lightening fast,... | |
| God, why did I try my first LP = upgrade I would put a recording cleaning machine as a low-to-no priority. Personally, I prefer the Disc Doctor manual system, supplemented by steam cleaning, as needed. When you clean records manually you can focus on the problem areas and get a better cl... | |
| Rowland Concerto integrated vs Rowland Capri & 102 Yeah, as soon as Rod gets his Continuum burned in I'll take it for a loaner-Sunday outing.I'm also looking forward to hearing the Vienna Acoustic Reference before the year's out. Hopefully that'll be a success, but, if not, the Mahlers will still ... | |
| Tube vs Tran 03-26-08: Rwwear said:"I agree that damping factor has some effect on the poor bass of most tube amps. But wooly bass can mostly attributed to the hundeds of feet of wire in the output transformer. This is not always the case but the main reason."... | |
