| Difference between non and factory terminated Some of the guys just like the idea that is supposed to sound better, or otherwise be superior, whether they can hear anything or not. Of course they tend to imagine that they do, and will fight you over it. The audio industry loves them.Of course... | |
| Difference between non and factory terminated It is easier to trust a factory to make a secure connection. Other than that, what sound difference do you imagine could result? Are you looking for a way to test the cables?If so change them and see if you can discern a difference. I have found m... | |
| My first tube integrated amp max $500 new/used Those who deny the obvious indication of the measured degree of distortion to the source signal by amplifying it sufficiently to operate a specific speaker driver, also claim that more important is how a component, or the system in total sound's t... | |
| My first tube integrated amp max $500 new/used Tireguy: I never said any different, except that I personally do not 'enjoy' distortion, even if described in poetic terms. Also that I have searched for a low distortion tube amp that I would love to integrate into my system if I could find one w... | |
| My first tube integrated amp max $500 new/used Double talk aside, define 'sounds quite good', please. Are you a connnoiseur of coloration too?I find it amazing how amp mfgrs with high distortion figures often leave them out of their published specs. But those with low distortion always publish... | |
| My first tube integrated amp max $500 new/used A more significant issue for a playback system than tubes is distortion, which tubes are nororious for having a high degrees of.

| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research YOu must be fickle, or suffering the audio 7 month itch. Get some new recordings, or buy a new shirt. Or better get something nice for your wife :-) That can be even more rewarding :-) | |
| Smaller speaker - bigger Woofer? Someone is trying to sell something :-) Check out http://www.linkwitzlab.com for DIY sub, or full range speakers for that matter. Or just knowledge in speaker design... pretty much truth in all things audio.A great resourse for the novice to becom... | |
| Smaller speaker - bigger Woofer? The problem with 'adding' sub(s) is the crossover. If the monitors go down to say 50hz, and sub(s) range is up to 100hz, or whatever, you are doubling up a 50hz range, leaving a seam in the intetration. Plus the mids of the monitors are still gett... | |
| Smaller speaker - bigger Woofer? Bass is about moving air. Moving air is about the size of the driver.I am using a pair of 12" Shiva woofers on each side: in open baffle design and push-pull configuration, located on the side walls near the main panels which are several feet from... | |
| newbie question about bi-amp THe only advantage to bi-amp is if you need more power due to being under or close to the speaker mfgr recommened power range.THat said, use 'Y' splitter at amp end of IC from Pre then attach both to one amp. Repeat on other side to second amp. Th... | |
| What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean?
