| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I compared the Precision AC to T3 UHC I have on my Krell amp. The Precision AC was more detailed but I found the T3 UHC to be more balanced/natural sounding/musical. Based on that experience, I would tend to agree that the Precision AC would be a ... | |
| Can speakers be too large for a room Now that you have eliminated the absorption at the reflection points to positive effect, it would be prudent to try an amplifier with about twice the power of your integrated, say 250w/ch into 8 ohms and then doubles down (doubles the power output... | |
| Can speakers be too large for a room Oops, misread your post. Your new 11' X18' room should work much better. Same recommendation though. | |
| Can speakers be too large for a room A 10' X 10' room is pretty small and worse, it's square. Very challenging room to get good sound in.I would first try taking out the acoustic treatments and see if things don't perk up a bit. Add each piece back one piece at a time starting with t... | |
| Nordost Quantum Technology Products I wouldn't say that it works as well without the Tesla cords, but I would say that the Powercell 10SE and the Audience aR6-T are the best power conditioners out there with thatever cords you use.To quote Jack Roberts in his review of the Powercell... | |
| Nordost Quantum Technology Products I heard the QX4's in the Nordost room at RMAF 2008 and was very impressed. They had them hooked up to a Thor conditioner and could turn them on and off so it was easy to tell the difference they made. Similar to but lesser in effect than the Syner... | |
| Kreall amp and tube pre I would contact Krell before plugging the tube preamp up to the amp. They are very responsive. Better safe than sorry. | |
| Sub for 2 channel music only setup Thanks for the reply, Hevac1. During the inital period with my Stadium III, I also noticed a very slight fatness (not sure that I would describe it as slowness exactly). Adding the supplied spikes improved this considerably. It makes me wonder why... | |
| Vintage speakers from the 70's and 80's Watkins Stereo Center WSC-1A. These were designed and built by Bill Watkins who created and patented the Watkins-Infinity Dual Drive Woofers that Infinity used in their glory days. Everyone in my hometown (Kingsport, TN) either had or desperately ... | |
| Sub for 2 channel music only setup Agree, but a crossover that would not degrade the sound quality of a top-flight preamp would be VERY expensive and then there is the cost of the additional cabling... | |
| Sub for 2 channel music only setup Hevac 1 - I'm not challenging your opinion, only curious: Did you use SR REL Spec hi-level cables and good power cords on the Stadium III's? Makes a huge difference. | |
| Sub for 2 channel music only setup Agree with Stanwal and Kal on the REL. The REL is one of the only sub systems to use hi-level inputs from your main amp with no crossovers in the signal path of your main speakers. When set correctly, you only notice the presence of the sub when y... | |
| Thinking of buying a solid state amp Very nice sounding Class D amps:http://www.iceh2oaudio.com/index_htm.htmlI have heard these driving Apogee Scintillas (1 ohm load) and they sounded very musical (detailed but not at all hard or bright). | |
| Experience with the USB to AES Yeah, I saw that review. Let's just say "opinions vary". Regardless, he did "unequivocally recommend the USB Thingee if you need to transform a digital musical stream from USB to coaxial S/PDIF, TosLink, or AES/EBU". I thought that was what you we... | |
| Experience with the USB to AES I think this might be better and under $200:http://www.goodsound.com/equipment/blue_circle_usb_thingee.htm |
