| hilary hahn..violinist Gregm...Get the 1954 recording I suggested. The mono is no problem at all because the music is so much a soloist's piece, and the quality of the sound is superb. (This from a multichannel advocate). Somehow they managed to lose all the noise as we... | |
| Denon 2900 Mods Jeffreybehr...How did you go about getting the service manual? | |
| did lightning do this? A tree about 30 feet from my house was struck with a very powerful bolt that was heard by people for miles around. The tree was just a big pile of kindling...it exploded! TV sets, VCRs, microwave ovens, computer modem, control panel on the refrige... | |
| am/fm tube tuners Tuners are the one audio component where it is hard to say that transistors don't beat out tubes. For a start, a circuit called a "phase locked loop" far outperforms other demodulation schemes, and, although it was invented long ago, could not be ... | |
| tube amplifier auto bias- accurate? I am a bit confused by the terminology. When I was involved with tube power amps there were three schemes which went like this."self biased" ....Bias voltage derived by a fixed resistor from the plate voltage. No provision for any adjustment. Outp... | |
| Radio Shack SPL Meter mods corrections For those who are lazy, or are arithmetically challenged, the Rives audio Test CD has a set of tracks that are compensated for error of the Radio Shack meter.For those who are really, really, lazy, get a spectrum analyser and calibration mic.Sean.... | |
| The problem with the music I am not a recording engineer so I am just going by what I have been told...but I thought that the root of the problem was the use of dozens of mics with mixdown happening months later in a studio perhaps in a different country. This is driven by ... | |
| Installing Bucket Magnets Do the SW actually distort/discolor (discolour for sean) your picture? Why not just move them away a bit. SW are sort of free to roam around the room. | |
| The problem with the music Go buy a TACET or MDG DVDA or SACD. Bring about $30 a pop. Will do more for your system than ten grand in electronics. As in just about everything else Europe is ahead of us in audio. Just my opinion of course. | |
| Speaker Efficiency Question? Assuming that your tube amp has output taps for 4 ohm speakers, it will deliver the same power(watts)into 4 ohms as in to 8 ohms. But that is not really good, because the typical ss amp would deliver twice as many watts into 4 ohms. Loudspeaker SP... | |
| Problem with American Beauty DVD-A Swampwalker...Spring for a $70 13 inch TV and make setup easy! | |
| tube amplifier auto bias- accurate? Most auto control processes are as good or better than you can do manually. This would obviously be a requirement on the designer.In airplanes, even little ones, the autopilot flies the plane more accurately than a pilot. This is hard for macho pi... | |
| Problem with American Beauty DVD-A Try playing it in multichannel mode, although you will only be hearing the front half of the program. Are the left and right equal? As I understand it, DVDA stereo is a realtime mixdown of the multichannel info according to coefficients on the dis... | |
| hilary hahn..violinist Back on 2/13 I suggested that David Oistrach is my ideal for the Tschaikowsky, and noted that my old Angel LP is about worn out. Following up on this, I looked for a replacement on CD, and found one on AmazonÂ…A Deutsche Grammophon reissue two CD s... | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? Rauliruegas...Then your remark about "inexperience audio people" means nothing. Why did you say it? |
