| ASC Planar Trap Hi Dave; I have 3 of the ASC Planar Traps and find them useful for controling high frequency reflections off side walls and other highly reflective surfaces, ie I have one in front of a large hardwood dresser and two on sidewalls. I don't think th... | |
| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? I agree with Sugarbrie's philosophy and use a Sonic Frontiers Line 2 pre-amp (6 tubes) and a SS McCormack DNA2DX Rev. A amp. The tube pre is not much of a hassle (BTW, it's in for up-grade to SE as I write:>) and I even look forward to some "tu... | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 Yeah........tough on me too. I'd have to have everything from soft, acoustic Delta to high NRG Chicago Blues, with some Texas, Memphis and everything in between to survive.KP; No habla (sp?) Please advise.There are quite a variety of "confessions"... | |
| Are you an Audiophile or a Music Lover: Take 3 After serious thought, I'd upgrade my listening room-- eliminate a window, put in thicker wall insulation, thicker or double sheetrock, reinforce floor etc. etc. etc. As David99 once said we're all "neurotic, two channel, sweetspot loners" (hope I... | |
| Are You An Audiophile Or A Music Lover? Sugar has a pretty good solution to this dilemma-- must be either a lawyer or used car salesman;>) Would the horned bugger allow this? Cheers. Craig | |
| Are you an Audiophille or a Music Lover No.2 ? I have a helluva satisfying stereo system but only 1000+ CDs, so I would go for the music-- as long as I can replace my pre-amp tubes once in a while. One of the most exciting aspects of this sport to me is finding excitng new music/artists. A goo... | |
| Are You An Audiophile Or A Music Lover? Aah! the "Crossroads"-- seems like I've been there-- at least in my nightmares, and of course the movie-- great soundtrack by Ry Cooder;>) Seems like some above have changed the rules of your game, ie you specified "boombox only" for listening.... | |
| PS Audio Juice Bar Steve McCormack once recommended the JPS 4 outlet unit to me (it comes with a good quality JPS power cord attached). I no longer need one so I didn't buy it. It's about $500-$600. I would expect it to be a top quality product. Craig | |
| Isolated Ground electrical outlets ??? I have an isolated (separate) grounding system for my five dedicated outlets. It consists of three 6 ft. copper rods driven into the ground in a triangular pattern, and it's within 10 ft. of the outlets. I had the electricians install this as part... | |
| Rock albums that sound good on your system? I'll 2nd Gregm's comment-- great post Albert-- Thanks. Cheers. Craig | |
| Amps Questions Help Imagine a pair of mono-bloc amps built in ONE chassis, and with one power cord-- that's what a dual-mono amp is. A mono-bloc amp has only a single output-- to just one speaker, whereas a dual-mono amp has outputs for two speakers (left and right) ... | |
| What's 10 Volts between friends? Well said Kirk, and I totally agree-- and with Glen and Albert too. I had five 20 amp dedicated lines and good quality outlets put in two years ago and consider them the foundation of my system. Cheers. Craig | |
| If you had 10k for pre and power amp but you had .........Swampwalker's right, a $2K amp with an $8K pre-amp is quite a mis-match,IMO. | |
| If you had 10k for pre and power amp but you had I consider them equally important sonically, and try to find components of comparable quality that complement each other, ie the ol' synergy thing. ICs, speaker cables, and power cords must work well with the components too. And then there's the s... | |
| anyone a b test krel krc350 against sonic frontier I agree with Larry (I'm pretty sure). Larry, what is Celerity?-- must have to do with perceived "speed". Anyway, I've used a Line 2 pre for near 4 years now, have tried the Line 3, and also own a line 1. I used the Line 2 with a DNA-1 for near 3 y... |
