| Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450 Rooze...If I were you (which I am not) and I needed to spend some more money, I would Mod one of my Carver amps, buy a Marchand Electronics crossover, and biamp my Maggies, with the Mod amp on top. You already have the Carver amp, so the cost is $... | |
| Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450 Rooze,,,A Mod to the Carver will cost a lot less than the VTL 450. I would be most interested in more info on zr1600 mods. I really think that a simple inexpensive mod to bupass of all the low level signal processing circuitry, and upgrade of a co... | |
| Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450 Rooze...The bridged zr1600 is good for 1600 watts into 4 ohms, and biwire makes no difference.However, neither the Carver or the Krell is delivering anything like this power. If it did, I don't know if your ears or your speakers would blow out fir... | |
| Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line Trelja...Not only "to each his own" but "to each kind of music its own". I agree that for heavy duty organ music, and the like, Klipshorns will beat out any electrostatics. And for a solo violin piece, my little B&W monitors are great. | |
| Bi-amping with no pre-outs Marakanetz...I don't know what you mean by the power amp being "disconnected". Of course it is until you feed a signal back in.Dcconners...If you just want a full range signal to feed into a subwoofer amp that has its own low pass filter, a tap of... | |
| Bi-amping with no pre-outs Your receiver has a signal like a preamp output, which is the input to its power amp. For someone with electronic repair skills, it would probably be a minor job to bring this signal out on a pair of rca jacks, and to provide rca jacks for the sig... | |
| Dayton titantic sub owners.... Phasecorrect...Get ready for a broadside from Sean!I have 12 inch Titanic drivers, combined with 15 inch JBL drivers in my SW systems. The Titanics do the job for me, but my job is a bit "different"...to "tune" the 7.5 cubic ft enclosures which ho... | |
| Living Stereo SACD's are a comin Rcprince...I agree with you that 16-bit 44.1 KHz is barely adequite for audio, and that's what's wrong with CDs. However, it is my impression that professional digital recording and mixdown consoles have been 24 bits from the time they were introd... | |
| Living Stereo SACD's are a comin Rcprince...Is PCM a "bad word"?. Mixing consoles have, for many years, been 24-bit PCM at a high sample rate. The Sony DSD system is designed for compatability with these existing mixing consoles, which will be around for a few years. Nothing wron... | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... I haven't read all the comments but I gather that chilled CD discs are touted. I can't see how this would affect a CD, but if you chill an LP, and play it before it warms up I would expect the sonic character to be different, because the complianc... | |
| Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few? Rooze...I understand that you are operating the amps bridged (1600 watts!). You should realize that each channel is operating into 2 ohms, and while the amp is built to withstand this environment, I think that fidelity is somewhat degraded relativ... | |
| 115 Volts or 220 Volts ? Higher voltage means less current for a given number of watts (power) so you can use smaller wire. That's why automobiles changed from 6 volts to 12 volts. Aircraft, where weight is important, have gone to 24 volts. This is a pain because you can'... | |
| HYBRID SACD stereo or multichannel. Audiobugged...Sure they can. They have just two channels, with the sound intended for the rear out-of-phase between channels. When a quad record is played back through the intended decoder, out-of-phase signal is attenuated for the front speakers,... | |
| HYBRID SACD stereo or multichannel. Metralla...Thanks for explaining your reasoning. As I understand it (and info is scarce) the mixdown coefficients used by a DVD-A player in creating the stereo program are selected by the recording engineer and encoded on the disc. So the recordin... | |
| Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line Trelja...Of course, I jest a bit. Nevertheless I have never heard a ported speaker that I could not recognize, from its sound, as being ported. Although I prefer sealed boxes, and have built my subwoofer systems that way, I have never heard any bo... |
