| Do most manu. buy or build their x-overs? Don't see that it would make much of a difference as I assume that most crossovers are spec'd by the designer(s) of the speakers. Who actually makes them (as long as a high level of QC is maintained) would be a mute point.I have heard of one or tw... | |
| Looking for comments on Decware preamps Try running a search of the Tube Forum @ audioasylum.com. They also have a "full site" search feature (click on the word "search" located in the uppper left portion of a forum page, not the search "box").I've seen pro reviews of Decware's integrat... | |
| Your budget - $20K - best system for a small room Joel:Don't know if it works with analog sources, but research Z-Systems digital preamps (specifically the one, or ones which function as an equalizer within the digital domain).A'Gon member danvetc uses one in his office system (small room) and fr... | |
| Your budget - $20K - best system for a small room I'd spend the $20K on renting/purchasing a decent listening room.Are you serious? | |
| Best $1k pair of floor standing speakers? A few decent speakers I've used "well" in such a small room have been:Ls3/5a's (mine were a late 70's Rogers version with add on bass units/stands). I later used custom bass units, but the standard versions were still pretty good. Reynaud Twins Mk... | |
| Best $1k pair of floor standing speakers? What happened to the Cornwall's? They would be a nice choice for inexpensive, but super sounding, amplification.Would be best to list the rest of the system in order to receive knowledgeable input (this includes my post as well as any which procee... | |

| Sweetest sounding 12AU7? Hi David:I've never tried the later Sylvania's (Green). I have used Green 6922/6dj8's which were pretty good though (they were specialy screened/selected).You might ask Rogue about using 5814, 6189 and possibly 5963 tubes. The 5963 tolerates less ... | |
| You used to love it but now....................... Embarassed to admit it, but...ANITA BRYANT works my last nerve.Otherwise I seem to be OK. | |
| Sweetest sounding 12AU7? David:Sweet/warm 12au7 types in my preamp and as an input tube in one of my power amps are:RCA/Sylvania/GE USA tubes from the 50's/60's (THIS DOES NOT include RCA "clear top side getter" tubes, which I do not consider to be sweet/warm). I also use... | |
| Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide Dekay/DeKay is pronounced "DK" (first/last initials), like "OK". Being that I'm rich, famous and extremely sexy I do not feel comfortable disclosing my full name (prefer to be treated like just a regular person when on the WWW).For those intereste... | |
| Sonab? Try running a WWW search of "Carlsson Sonab". I may have the spelling wrong, but think that's it. | |
| Should audiophiles be disappointed?... That's what headphones and/or "real" near field setups are for.You expect the nearly impossible. | |
| which type of sink for record washing Agree with Elizabeth. Go for a spray nozzle. If a spray hose is not an option (I don't have one) then a Water-Pik works quite well (takes longer though).Being clumsy I place a soft plastic tub in the sink (others use towels), so the sink material ... |
