| Kef 107 vs 107/2 See the KEF website for more information. They have a very nice historic archive. And do contact them with your question - they helped me with info on my set of KEF C55 monitors. Very nice guys indeed - spoke to the manager at HQ!Regards,Dewald Vi... | |
| material for plinth for subwoofer IRS-V I would suggest that you get some marble or granite cut (just an inch or two wider than the bottom of the tower), 2" thick and then cover those with a 1" thick piece of laminate-maple. Use a thin layer of silicone sealant between the two layers to... | |
| Adjusting a Denon DP 35F Usually the pots under the platter is the primary speed adjustment for the 33 / 45 speed settings and must not be tapered with. I think that you have to look inside the unit at the arm's bottom-end. There must be a sensor or hook that is misaligne... | |
| Safe to use 110V/60Hz in other countries? Electronic equipment is supposed to operate on any frequency between 45Hz up to 100Hz. Amps, CDP, and other convert the main power to DC and filter it anyway. Only machines like turntable motors (AC Synchronous) need an exact frequency to operate ... | |
| Thorens TD-126 Mark III A what? (Don't want to be nasty but...do you really get such a thing?)You can use any printed alignment protractor to align a cartridge... or if you want a expensive tool like the Dr Feikert alignment tool.Kind regards,Dewald Visser | |
| Waveguide Loudspeakers Martykl - your spot on. They do get a wee-tad shouty at very high SPL levels - but they are one of the best sounding horn speakers I've heard in a very long time. The timbre is extremely neutral. It is said that they use modified JBL compression d... | |
| Waveguide Loudspeakers I had the chance to compare the Amphion Xenon's up against the Zingali Overture 4's. The Zingali's were 'crisp and hot' compared to the Amphion's 'laidback and smooth' sound. I liked the Zingali's vivid picture but the Amphions had a very natural ... | |
| Amplifier question All the big caps are PSU (power supply unit) filter/smoothing caps... very essintial part of an amplifier. Do you want to upgrade these? Go right ahead...Best of luck,Dewald Visser | |
| New amp advices please Hi,Have a look at Valve Audio's mono-block amplifiers (available through Music Direct). They can tolerate a wide impedance swing and has pace that most other amplifiers just cant keep up with - very fast indeed. Freq-response is extremely natural ... | |
| What should be the first component when upgrading? Bobcuzi,I think this might be the system for you:A set of Beringer Active Monitors,A NAD pre-amp,A Arcam CD-PlayerIf you like high-detail, high-resolution sound the Beringers would give you just that! In the first place, they use it in recording s... | |
| Amphion Xenon vs Usher 6381 Amphion Xenons - No doubt about it. They have a super wide sound-stage with lots of 'air'. Deep solid bass and sweet, tangable mids. This is one of the great floorstanders in my view. I did a A/B comparison with them up against Zingali Overture 4'... | |
| Power cords for older magnavox cd players Remove the funny power-connector and install an IEC socket. I did it with my old Philips machine and noticed an improvement in the bass range with heavy, high-quality power-cable./Adaptors/ only spoil the sound and thus it is better to use it with... | |
| How to Convert Stereo Amp to Monoblock? Mark,I certainly understand your dellema!When a stereo (aka 2 ch amp) is converted to a monoblock, the one channel ("A" or Left) carries the for example the positive 'swing' of the signal and the other channel ("B" or right) carries the negative s... | |
| How to use multimeter Hi there,It is not impossible to measure voltage with a load connected - it only gives you a more accurate voltage measurement with no load or a shunt-load. Remember - as the frequency changes the IMPEDANCE of the speaker also changes. Also rememb... |
