| Shigaraki and other simplistic gear Bemopti:Which Fostex drivers will you be using (208S), also what type of enclosure? | |
| Shigaraki and other simplistic gear Ed:Is that (the impedance) a problem for the 47 Labs chip amp? Changing it does alter the sound (my Bottlehead amps have 4 and 8 ohm transformer taps, plus some of my vintage amps have 4, 8 and 16 ohm taps), but if you are already in the synergist... | |
| Shigaraki and other simplistic gear Elevick:The Jordan JX-92s drivers do not require a helper tweeter, IMO.Measured "by my ears" they seemed to have as much usable HF info as the little 3" Fostex driver (think it was an FE83)The following link contains measurements.http://www.ejjord... | |
| no-budget preamp? No remote control, but the basic Bottlehead Foreplay tube preamp kit is $150 plus shipping. It uses two 12au7/ecc82 type tubes (supplied with the kit) which can be easy/inexpensive to replace/experiement with.I have used one for well over a year n... | |
| Modest proposal, change the Audiogon rating system Ed:One would assume that, but some are dumping nice looking "crap" (operationaly damaged goods). I am aware of a regular AA poster/Ebay seller (still posting and still readily accepted in the Vintage Forum there) who beyond any reasonable doubt (m... | |
| Comments of recommendations on Xmas music There are a couple of albums, with Keith Harring graphics on the covers, which contain X-Mas songs covered by contemporary artists. I have them on LP, but they must have been released on CD as well.Both are nicely recorded/performed and great fun ... | |
| Which Golden Ratio??? .......Help There is a link to the Rives Forum located on the home page of audioasylum.com. You might also check out Audio Asylum's FAQ section which contains additional links that should be of interest.Hope your room turns out to be different, but the only s... | |
| Which Golden Ratio??? .......Help Greg:Yes, either Rives or a Templer. | |
| Driver suggestions for DIY project The Jordan drivers are not very sensitive (have listened to them twice in different enclosures). I realize that some are running them with approx. 25 watt chip and tube amps, but I consider this to be about as low (in power) as I would go with the... | |
| Are Terminals Necessary? Osso:As far as I know they are probably only needed with certain cable types. Think that the RCA plugs may be calculated into the design of a 75 ohm digital cable (or @ least they should be it would seem).I have experimented with eliminating the b... | |
| Has Anyone Heard Mueta Amps?... Has "price check" @ the local Wall Mart been sounding kinder to the ears lately?Just kidding Dawg. | |
| Driver suggestions for DIY project Bennett:Still using that old amp (thought you /killed/buried it)?If the listening room is medium/large I'll suggest that you look into more sensative speaker designs.For starters you may find the following site interesting.http://f18.parsimony.net... | |
| Where to start? New to Analog Vaystrem:There have always been tons of decent vintage TT's on Ebay offered by Candian sellers. I assume that many of these were acquired (for resale) from the local thrifts.If you are not in a hurry try cruising the local thrifts in the event tha... | |
| What to do when a crucial piece is in the shop? I just take long elevator rides. The sound reminds me of my favorite pair of full-range single driver speakers and it makes me smile.So, if you are ever in LA and see a middle aged smiling man loitering in/around an elevator telling people to shoo... | |
| Whats the tubiest sounding preap? David: Do you still have the Audcom? Your system listing notes that it is remote controlled -w- added Auricaps. Why not go with softer sounding caps (Jensen PIO's, or other vintage PIO's) and some tube rolling?Seem to recall that it used obscure s... |
