| Bought the wrong subwoofer! they come with a 45 day risk free return policy https://www.svsound.com/pages/bill-of-rights | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps I just noticed, you are highlighting your question toward Preamps. I had McIntosh SS C28 Preamp, highly regarded by many. I much prefer my McIntosh Tube Tuner/Preamp mx110z to the C28 (or any prior Preamp). mx110z’s MM Phono (2) is wonderful, I ... | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps I’m 73. I started with tubes, went to SS, low powered SS Receiver, then powerful McIntosh SS Amp and SS Pre for inefficient speakers for a few years. Returned to tubes and efficient horn speakers, couldn’t be happier. All along, I always had 30-3... | |
| Can one use assymetric wire gauge for speaker cable construction? I think this will be helpful regarding bi-wiring, the reason for different guages https://www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/speaker-bi-wiring-bi-amping-explained/ I chose to believe in small diameter individual strands, so I make my own ... | |
| Thoughts on having 2 different sized subs in same room it is best to go pre-out to self-powered subs, then line level (less low bass) back to the preamp to amp. thus neither the amp or main speakers try to make low bass. that will help you with the carver 275 driving your 88 sensitivity mains which I ... | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like Then, there are albums like this: Betty Carter, 'Social Call' I just bought. Put out in 1980, her original material from 1955, and never released from 1956. Mono, as I said, recordings in the Mono era were quite good, Quincy Jones and Gigi Gryce ... | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like I also prefer excellent sounding content. Happily I like Jazz, and both early Mono and most Stereo (not reprocessed) Jazz includes great engineers that knew what they were doing. I do put in the 'sell' shelf, albums from artists I like with crap ... | |
| Tonearm for Technics SP-15 these people make a separate VTA mechanism for SAEC and Fidelity Research Arms. Yeay? Nay? https://reverb.com/item/45099802-fidelity-research-fr-64-66-fonolab-amf-104-tonearm-vta-on-the-fly-adjustment-mechanism https://reverb.com/item... | |
| New pre-amp purchase advice The ADCOM definitely does it, and in budget Alternates: ONLY SOME preamps have MM Phono Inputs FEWER preamps have MC Phono Inputs (or both). I suggest keeping options greater, both new or used, by going for greater availability (thus less cost... | |
| Powered subwoofer impedance self-powered sub's impedances match their internal amps which are designed together | |
| Powered subwoofer impedance It is better if your sub is self-powered with line-in, a built-in adjustable crossover, and line out back to the primary preamp/amp to do this, you need a preamp or integrated amp with pre-out and main in. you go line level out to the sub, it tak... | |
| The volume of my speakers going down by itself and going back again in a minute or two use a stopwatch, time it, always the same time delay? | |
| The volume of my speakers going down by itself and going back again in a minute or two is a built-in test sequence occuring? | |
| Sonus Faber surprise An inexpensive SPL meter and a Test CD or Test LP with Individual Freqency Bands will reveal the answer. It is possible you are hearing the ’lack of compression’ rather than too bright. Or, they are too bright. The meter is a great tool to try a... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... mijostyn I am happy to report, my friend/neighbor/music producer and I listened for 4 hours and we could not entice the piano to sing. we agreed with you, it must be doing something, but try as we may, could hear no sound emanating from it. h... |
