| My Yamaha clips at 3/4 volume I mainly used Classe, Sumo and a Creek OBH 12 pre-amps. Can you tell what I like in a pre? Simple, clean nothing tricky. | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Different amp methodology has made huge differences with my coincidents (triode, ultralinear and pentode). Surprsingly, I'm most happy with 120 watt monoblocks in pentode (grommes g-101/a runing 6gk5). 20 watt triodes are my least favorite (EL34),... | |
| AM/FM set up for office Boston Acoustics solo is great.Have you considered streaming from a pc? There's an amazing variety of free stations out there. All I do is bookmark them and they all play on media player. | |
| Best place to put a single subwoofer? 3 things:1-Spikes should get you more bang regardless of where you put it, maybe even a sandbag on top of it. 2-Someone taught me a long time ago that if you don't have test equipment, a great way to find the best position is to start with the sub... | |
| Need speaker grill Do you need new cloth or an entire new grill? Cloth is tubesandmore.comFor a grill, you will most likely have to go to the company. You may be able to find someone to make grills but where? Custom grills won't be cheap either (madisound.com or spe... | |
| Carver equipement good?? Carver tubes and sunfire can be awesome. I got rid of my Carver solid state gear as soon as I compared it to true mid/high end gear. It can't touch amps such as Anthem or Classe let alone something like Pass Labs.Basic Carver is extremely loud for... | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Find member Beanie and ask Israel himself. | |
| My Yamaha clips at 3/4 volume Most amps will clip at full volume, especially when the gain on a preamp is involved. I agree with Mrdecibel on setting the amp at full volume. There are no rules out there about where a volume control should be set at.I've owned 3 of these amps. ... | |
| A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers I remember when the Outlaws cracked the foundation at the Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh. Amazing venue until they tore it down. | |
| more 2 channel preamp processors like majik ds-i? Many of us are leaning towards USB DAC's to stream anything we need (Benchmark, PS Audio, Musiland and many more). Peachtree integrateds are close to what you are looking for. Not much has 6 digital inputs that isn't for 7.1 theater. | |
| Running cables under carpet. Any great methods? Many times, if you pull the baseboards you will find gaps to simple push the cable into. As Elizabeth suggested a router will make it easy. You are working on the back sides of the baseboards any way. 1 piece of advice: After removing the baseboar... | |
| How to power? My opinion: Carvers are loud as hell but no definition and limited range. The Sunfire will have cleaner, tighter low bass and crisp highs. If 400wpc can't cut it...buy a bigger sub. | |
| Best "pseudo" multi channel from 2 ch sources In HT, the center does more work than any other channel. The rears do the least. You can get away without a sub if your mains can handle the work. | |
| need new seperates on a budget Used Anthem 5 x 100 amps are a great bargain. Matching that with a 5 year old pre/pro such as Sherbourn, Anthem, Sunfire, B&K or many more will work in this budget. As long as you don't need HDMI there are a lot of nice choices. | |
