| Can You Hear Ila Schloss in Bob James'... Mrtennis, perhaps I need to indicate with an "S" or "K" whether I'm serious or kidding, since you seem to have problems knowing. :(An ad hoc list of gear/systems is fairly fruitless in this instance, which is why I didn't suggest it. I didn't ment... | |
| Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers? Magnetic planar speakers have serious shortcomings, as do most technolgies employed for audio. I could list three for four of them, and in fact in an upcoming article I intend to do so. But don't tell that to a Maggie fan! :) | |
| Gemme Audio - Out of business? Perhaps as an alternative you could secure some ajustable low stands of high quality. There are several makers, and I'm sure the community would be happy to help recall a few. Alternatively, why not find a slab of appropriate color marble or other... | |
| Need help from smart people - biamping What is known as passive biamping (I also like the description "dual amping") is certainly not difficult when using two identical amps. Anyone can do so; it simply takes more time and care to ensure that the connections are set up properly. You al... | |
| RCA Splitter - who, where I use Audioquest's RCA "Y" adapter/splitter. It's a real workhorse - never has let me down! :) I'm not sure if it will be shown on the website; you may have to contact them or a dealer about it. | |
| Vote for best speaker value under 5K$ Demo Kingsound King listed here for $4,800 which includes shipping in continental U.S. I reviewed the King for Dagogo.com, bought it and use it (see my system pics) as a reference speaker in reviewing. Relative to the performance level of the spea... | |
| Laying it on the line Mrtennis, all is forgiven; we all misinterpret posts occasionally, and you show yourself to be a good man by your quick apology. :) | |
| Laying it on the line Yes, a bit of humor. Bigkidz, wow, that was a long time ago. The HCA-2 was my first go at a Class D amp. | |
| Laying it on the line I have an experience level that is vastly greater than all of you combined, so I will speak with unassailable veracity and authority. You, Bigkidz, have chosen UNWISELY to divulge all your hard won truths simultaneously. Consequently, you are now ... | |
| Huge Center Channel Hi Grade Thank you for your suggestions; if anyone else has one feel free to note it. | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Mrtennis, it should have been fairly obvious; the "contextual reference" for my conclusions is contained in the articles I have written. | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC I'll be brief since the Olympics are on...You need the DAC Plus version; forget about the upgrade to the original unless (and ONLY unless) you can't swing the money for the Plus version.See my Audio Blast articles at Dagogo.com about all things EE... | |
| Hybrid Integrated Amps: Any Good? Dtc, you may want to consider doing as I have done, secure a second unit and run the Classic One in Mono mode. This hybrid integrated is far better Mono than stereo, and will transform your rig as well as your listening experience. :) See my syste... | |
| Some old cables rescued me from computer audio. Wow, five weeks to get an IC changed! You're slow! ;) Seriously, Nonoise, glad you're having fun with wires. It opens a new world to system building, one with profound results. I would encourage you to take the next step and work with sets of cabl... | |
| below 100hz, do speaker cables matter? Below 0 Hz cables don't matter. |
