| Rogersound speakers? The Rogersound speakers have absolutely no relationship to the famed Rogers speakers from England. Howard Rogers, an extremely nice and caring gentleman from Los Angeles, once owned a chain of audio stores -- Rogersound -- in Southern California t... | |
| Do you approve of "How Stereophile Market itself"? Getting back to the issue at hand, the unfortunate contact that "Clueless" received from NCAC in all likelihood has nothing to do with STEREOPHILE. There are companies that purchase subscription lists (including lists of cancelled subscribers) fro... | |
| My pre-amp overloads my amp I agree with Sean. The fact that the problem with the CJ occurs even when there is no music playing suggests excessive DC offset; or some other oscillation related difficulty that is triggering the amplifier's protective circuitry. One other possi... | |
| Phase Inverted Recordings The article was by Lars Fredell, a reviewer and commentator for ULTIMATE AUDIO magazine. I believe it appeared toward the end of 2000. | |
| Thiel cs3.6 keep blow up mid/tweter driv I strongly suspect the problem may be with the amplifier and not with the speaker. The Thiel 3.6s are terrific speakers, but because of their occasionally very low impedance are quite difficult to drive. The manufacturer recommends Classe, among o... | |
| Help on integrated amp? I most definitely agree with all of the above recommendations for the Classe. Because of its often very low impedance, the Thiel represents a very hard load for an amplifier -- especially an integrated one -- to drive, which may be why you sometim... | |
| Buying "Sound Unheard" There are some reasonable alternatives if you do not have an authorized dealer(s) within 200 to 400 miles. First of all, some manufacturers who sell factory-direct do offer a free home trial period, often ranging from 10 to as much 30 days. Your s... | |
| Are these cables a good buy? You should also check the prices at USEDCABLE.COM. They are very reliable. I have bought several pairs of interconnects and speaker cables from them in the past. They usually have a large amount of MIT in their inventory. | |
| Morrison Audio: E-Mail Address Thank you for responding, but I already have the URL. Unfortunately, the e-mail address is not listed on the site. | |
| How do you ship heavy oversized speakers There are two issues here: packing/crating + shipping. I agree with the prior comments about NEVER using UPS. They are very hard on equipment and generally unresponsive to damage claims (i.e. "it was not packed properly"). If you can indeed use Fe... | |
| I blew my speaker....Please help It is equally possible that your tube preamplifier could be at fault. When using a tube preamp and a solid-state amplifier the correct turn-on sequence is as follows: (a)turn on the tube preamplifier and let it stabilize for at least a minute or t... | |
| Best amp for Dunlavy Aletha The Athena/Alethas are truly excellent speakers. I have used a Bryston 4BST with excellent results. Only one caution is necessary: the impedance of the speakers frequently dips below 4 ohms, which means that high current amplification is an absolu... | |
| California electrical shortage audio There are actually several issues involved here. For one, there is the danger of damage from turn on surges, which is the reason many manufacturers do not even provide an on/off switch for amplifiers or preamplifiers. However, if your electronics ... | |
| Classe CA 100 running hot Everything written prior to this post is correct. The peculiar electrical characteristics of Goertz and several other brands of cable result in the amplifier going into oscillation, which is the cause of the heat. Ultimately, you could not only da... | |
| Bryston Amp v.s others? The Bryston 4B-ST is an outstanding amplifier sonically and operationally; will drive almost everything; is not subject to ground loops and similar irritations; and is supported by a company with an exceptional service policy. In the unlikely even... |
