| cable burn-in / system burn-in Louis you lost me on this fade out thing. For me bottom line is that when I have a system that is taken down turned off, cables and equipment moved, then once the system is re-assembled it takes time for the system sound to come together and play ... | |
| Pathos logos strong enough to drive winds? I feel your pain. This can be a very frustrating (hobby, passion, obsession, love affair? I mean of course the love of music)... The expense involved when you make a mistake can make this experience all the more frustrating. Personally I've made m... | |
| Do all toroidal transformers hum? Not all, but some. | |
| cable burn-in / system burn-in I concur with what you've experienced Johnhelenjake. I just put my system together with speakers that had been shipped but were broken in and an amp that had been shipped for service, cables laying unconnected and dormant. No system up and running... | |
| Pathos logos strong enough to drive winds? If you can go without a hybrid you may want to consider trying the Wyred 4 Sound integrated; plenty of power and current there. In the price range of the Logos too. | |
| Which integrated to pick... How do you get an AR used? You watch the classifieds and wait for one to come up. That's the best way. You could also do a search for AR dealers and see if any have demo units available but you will definitely pay more that way. The Complete is ni... | |
| Pathos logos strong enough to drive winds? The Logos doubles down from 110 wpc @ 8 ohms to 220 wpc @ 4 ohms so it produces some current. But with the Winds being 4 ohm speakers and inefficient I'd say you definitely need more current and power to drive them optimally. That is, if you want ... | |
| Which integrated to pick... If these are your only choices The musical fidelity A3 doubles down 85 wpc @8 ohms 170 wpc @4 ohms so it is high current. The Europas are 4 ohm speakers and a little low on the sensitivity at 88-89db and require current. I'd probably go for the mu... | |
| Best Cd Player under $4000? I don't envy you. Been there before. Like the others said audition.Try at least a couple other players in your system to hear if that ameliorates the leanness problem. If it does then the problem is your current cdp. If not, then your problem is e... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? A friend had some EPI's back in the late 70's. Had them on stands. It was the first stand mount I'd seen. I really loved those speakers and envied him. They were the best I'd heard to that point. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman, I went to buy a pair of C2's back in the 70's; had money in hand. Got there and the dealer was out of stock and some kind of strike somewhere meant they didn't know when they would get more C2's. I was very disappointed and had no patience... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Waxing poetic Parasound! You're a lucky fella to feel that way. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thank you Rebbi! As my system developments continue with the 5000's I'll post updates to this outstanding Ohm thread. (the most informative anywhere!) | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Hi Parasound, like you I've abstained from posting about my experience with the Ohms during this interim period. I've waited while they settled in. I've been moving them around a bit, adjusting the controls, and changing speaker cables, while wait... | |
| Lavardin Amplifier Repair The cost of shipping and customs alone from the US to Canada and back cost more than the actual work I had done on my Blue Circle amp. If you feel the Lavardin is worth it you'll have to bite the bullet and pay the shipping plus the work. If the L... |
