| Differences between Sonic Frontiers Power 2 & 160M Try mfgr web page for specs... especially distortion. Unless of course you attempt to use your system to mix the source material to taste. I don't even want to go there :-)As I recall SF specs are not very good. Typical for the 'name brands'. In f... | |
| Cables for B&W and Rotel system. Using cables, or any component as tone control is futile endeavor, the 'connoissseurs of coloration' notwithstanding.If you love music, and want to hear, as accurately as possilbe, what the artists created on their insruments in a given environmen... | |
| New to the game, looking for help on this system Do not get sucked into the psycho-acoustic phenomenon inherent in being a 'connoisseur of coloration'. The only significant issue in electronic playback of recored events is 'distortion'.Find transparent speakers suitable to the environment they w... | |
| Preamp/Amp matching 5 Channel VS 2+3 Channel Of course amps need not be matched to top end components, but to the speakers. The manufacturer provides a recommended range for their products. That said, if you want to simplify, a single amp can be used whether you connect all channels for not.... | |
| Maximum length for Audience AU24 speaker cable It probably is a wise rule of thumb to 'keep your interconntects long, and your speaker cables short'. Length is less of an issue with the low voltage signal. More so when it has been amplified. Roughly, a 10awg wire is good for a maximum of 10'. ... | |
| I want to upgrade to a bi-amp setup. Unless you use an electronic crossover that provides multiple outputs to multiple amplifiers all you accomplish is additional power. Is that what is needed? If so, then the issue for not idential amps is Gain. If one amp has a gain of say 26dbl, a... | |
| Please help me with a Cary Audio tube question That is too bad. Sad, really. | |
| Please help me with a Cary Audio tube question Is there an 'end all'?I have noticed that those manufacturers, and the writers who review them, who's spces are not very good tend not to address them, but when they are indicitive of superior quality in the component, they do get empahsised. Hmmm... | |
| Please help me with a Cary Audio tube question No offence, and nothing personal. But I am a fan of 'true to the original' sound in my playback system. I want to hear what is on the CD: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Believing it is not rational to use the system as a mixing device for what I... | |
| Tube Amp Suggestions 'Supposedly, there exist a few 'triode' (tube) amplifier designs of exceptional transparency. Usually their power output is below 20W and insufficient to drive most speakers'... most important are low output impedance (<0.4 ohm) and low distort... | |
| Please help me with a Cary Audio tube question 'Lucky'? I was looking for a tube amp that had any kind of reasonable specs (low distortion) and found the popular brands did not even come close.To avoid distorting the source material beyond recognition through speakers with any kind of accuracy... | |
| Need suggestions for new speakers under $5K The only rational criteria for a 'right' sound is 'true to the original'. That is, to hear what was recored on the source material as 'accurately' as possible: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Once you can hear what that is, you can be selective i... | |
| Need suggestions for new speakers under $5K Not accurate, but musical? A playback system is typically intended to hear the music that was recoreded onto the source material. If you do not want to do that 'accurately', how can you expect to hear 'musical'. The system (or any component therei... |
