| An honest opinion about upgrading? In the same vein as Shadorne and Mapman my recommendation would be high current electronics. | |
| Describe the ideal high end audio dealership I agree with Pubul57. The ideals expressed in some of these posts would be wonderful for us music lovers and audiophiles; I'd love to know of dealers that are so flexible and customer-centered. I think it would be next to impossible for most deale... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? You have to admire the kind of honesty that would lead someone to discourage an "up sell" to an existing customer!Yeh, John S. is a down to earth person, and in my experience is not in the business just to make money on the next sale. I dealt with... | |
| Power Amp Doubling Output at 4 Ohm Is this an important parameter to you? If not, why not?It only became important to me when I recently bought my first pair of inefficient speakers that are a difficult load. (4 ohm 82-87db). Before these speakers, I never paid much attention to am... | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Acman3, the ATI is no longer in the chain. My gear is still settling in and first I want to hear where things are headed. I'll try to let you know. | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Al, I'll email you | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Al, Thanks for everything. I'm now using an ATI MM100 Match Maker between amp and preamp as a work-around of impedance issues and the added subwoofer's impedance. It sounds good so far in the signal chain but I haven't turned on the subs yet. | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Subs are Earthquake Supervova Mk12IV. I'll see what I can learn on the preamp outputs. | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Forgot to say the subwoofer cables are Blue Jeans LC-1. | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching Thanks Newbee and Al. Al,I'm using 20ft runs of Blue Jeans LC1 cables which I learned from you are low capacitance. I believe the input impedance on the sub amps are 6k ohms. | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction I really don't like you Macdadtexas. It's taken years and I'm still not at the point of boredom because my system is so great that nothing more is needed. I haven't made it to audio nirvana yet. I've heard of others but not me and not my system. I... | |
| Tube Preamp/ McCormack Amp impedance matching My concern is the effect of impedance on HF or low end roll off. Newbee, my speakers are the Ohm Walsh 5000. I also have 2 powered subs that would be connected to the 2nd set of pre outs on the VTL so that plays into impedance as well. | |
| Amplifier Hum - A Problem Solved Compelling and informative story Hoff48. Sorry audio is a source of friction in your marriage, bummer. I'm getting ready to plug in my first amp in years today or tomorrow. Sure hope it's great and now I'm thinking I hope it's quiet! | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Agree with above. Who said Rolling Stone or their writer's opinion matters in the big picture? They're a few guys with their own opinions like the rest of us. That does not make them valid. And I agree with you about Steve Howe. As an old Yes fan,... | |
