| Coincident Super Eclipse and amp power I've noticed that Wilson speakers, as an example, which have high efficiency specifications, are typically paired with LOTS of power via Levinson or Krell or equivalent. I'm sure you can drive them with small amps, but people seem to want big powe... | |
| Settings for PS Audio PowerPlant Is it a mechanical hum from the physical component boxes or an electrical hum through the system? | |
| NY Reunion I am sad to report that Joe Henderson died on Saturday 6/30/01 at age 64. He is one of my favortie tenor players. I recommend his State of the Tenor two volume series, which are live trio recordings. | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? Ken is referring to the Neuance shelf I just got. Thing is, Ken, the Apollo rack hasn't arrived yet, so it will be bit longer. | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? Let me toss out a couple of observations:1) PRAT is almost alway good on boom boxes and car radios and the like, typically better than on high end systems2) Good PRAT, such as on a car radio, often strikes me as BETTER than the real thing itself.T... | |
| Best Value Speakers?? In terms of your criteria, Vandersteen seems an obvious contender for your short list. Most Vandersteen models HAVE no cabinet, so you are not paying for that. Are you paying anything for the name? Surely, but they are still a good value. | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group In the Users Group spirit of this topic, let me pose a few questions to those with some experience under their belts. As a new TacT user, I'm bursting with questions.1. Which of the taget curves have you found most to your liking?2. Are you findin... | |
| gfp-750 ? any comments? good or bad I owned one for about two years. It's a terrific value, very flexible, a pleasure to use, and handsome to boot. I agree that its sonics are probably not deserving of the Class A rating, although my opinion is more positive than the previous poster... | |
| The Best Movie sound Tracks I'll second Albert's suggestion of the "The Last Temptation of Christ." Sonics are so-so, but good music. | |
| The Best Movie sound Tracks Some obvious choices for sonics are Gladiator, Glory, and Sneakers. I love the music from The Insider. When it comes to all-time great scores, you can't beat Malcolm Arnold's scoring of The Bridge on the River Kwai. | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group But why is there not also significant musical info in those same frequency bands on "good" recordings? | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Now that I've had the RCS 2.0 in my system for two days, I want to chime in and echo everyone else's enthusiasm. At this early point, it seems to me that the TacT truly dwarfs a lot of other "significant" upgrades I have made. Cables, power cords,... | |
| power consumption According to the Wattsup readings, The Power Plant 300 draws about 40 watts with nothing connected to it, about 43 in multiwave mode. My Pass Aleph 3 draws around 200 watts at idle (196 acutally, although I think the PAss docs say 250). Plugged in... | |
| power consumption The Power Plant does draw extra power. But contrary to common belief, it does not double consumption, at least not in my system and by my measurements. | |
| power consumption I purchased a device called WattsUp several months ago to satisfy my curiousity about the real power consumption story with the PS Audio power plants. Works great, but cost about $100.Dan |
