| High Pwr Tube Integrated for Inefficient Speakers? In recent months several SLI-80's have sold on A'gon at or very near to the upper end of your budget. The ones selling for $2300 are upgraded F1's. The standard Signature models go for less.So if you really liked the sound of the SLI-80 why compro... | |
| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? Count another vote from an owner of all the Krall albums. My favorite release is "Stepping Out." John Clayton on bass, Jeff Hamilton on drums and Diana on piano and vocals. Like a lot of artist's first releases it's unadulterated and even exhibits... | |
| Vintage Altec Speakers on Legs You might also Google "altec lansing vintage carmel". The link is way too long to post. | |
| Vintage Altec Speakers on Legs When you say "legs" do you mean like this: http://www.audioheritage.org/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=8or are they longer legs? | |
| Power Cable Guidance Needed... Ghstudio is largely right. A lot of the answer depends on what equipment you have. But one in ten thousand? Is that people or ears? :-)For instance, if you have a fairly high wattage amp with a stock cord, you will very likely hear a difference by... | |
| Just moved and have a smaller audio room 10.5 x 15 My room is the same as Finlbxn describes down to the open space behind the listening position. A pair of Merlin TSMs with a REL sub setup on the short wall (out of necessity) are working very well in this space. The Merlins by themselves sound gre... | |
| D.I.Y. Bass Traps- calling acoustic techs.... To follow up, I emailed Jon Gale and he responded. He had discussed the "supertrap" idea with ASC and the final verdict was the level of complexity of the build is not worth the difference in results.My original thought was that a more efficient t... | |
| Newbie Power Cord Question Tabl10s,My comment about the classic status of the Master Coupler was largely tongue in cheek; sorry if the intended humor was less than obvious. It's my fault for trying to be entertaining, too, instead of just informative. I'm sure it'll happen ... | |
| D.I.Y. Bass Traps- calling acoustic techs.... The biggest problem in my room is a +5.5Hz bump at ~100Hz. To reduce it I'm going to try adding a set of the pipe wrap bass traps. Jon Gale, who is usually credited with this DIY plan, wrote on one forum that there is a "supertrap" version. The bi... | |
| Newbie Power Cord Question Photon46 makes some good points; more info would help. Given the available information, a used Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler might be a good entry point. They're well designed, well made, heavy gauge and a near classic. (Can a power cord ... | |
| Subwoofer setting As much a question as an attempt to add to the discussion, but doesn't the in room frequency response of the mains have something to do with the subwoofer crossover point? Or is that just considered a given? | |
| How can you not have multichannel system Just in case Mig007 hasn't counted, stereo *is* multi-channel. Mono is one, stereo is two and multi- means more than one. BTW, my name is Frank Peel. Google my name and Luddites, then profess to tell me about them! ;-)Happy New Year to everybody! | |
| IEC inlet socket The IEC connectors on the aftermarket cables in my system were loose, too, and searching AudigoN for a solution brought me to this thread and one from a few years ago. The two most promising suggestions (aside from upgrading the connectors themsel... | |
| Power conditioner/protection question If you want the peace of mind that surge protection brings and/or cannot install dedicated lines, then you could do a lot worse than a Duet.In my situation moving one of the outlets closer to the system is not an option, so some kind of "extension... | |
| What happened to Plastic CD Cases? All of my plastic cases got tossed after I finally found a reasonable alternative:http://www.slappa.com/technology/d2i-demo.html(Be advised that this link plays a flash-style demo)It's a pretty ingenious solution to plastic jewel case pollution. |
