| Dan D'Agostino Is Making 'Big Iron' Again - 800 wpc Monoblocks Here's a couple of shots, of what could very well be the prototype and the man himself overseeing? Love his philosophy about horsepower.https://www.facebook.com/373837699302468/photos/a.459573540728883.105364.373837699302468/1102261893126708/?type... | |
| Footers under big heavy speakers (Stillpoints Ultra 5, Sistrum rack, Finite Elements,..?) jazzonthehudsonThese could be good to de-couple your beasts from that wooden sound board of a floor."Giant Fat Glider" or if you wish to still use your spikes. "Giant Cone/Spike Decoupling Glider"There are many to look at.http://herbiesaudiolab.n... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i dsper The W4S is rated at 40 amps. I also see that an older Krell FPB 300c was rated less than that. Something is very wrong with what you saw or read, as there is no way the W4S could out current the Krell FPB 300c, especially into 4-2ohm loads, ... | |
| Footers under big heavy speakers (Stillpoints Ultra 5, Sistrum rack, Finite Elements,..?) Last thing I would do is to couple the speakers to a wooden floor, as it will act as a sound board and muddy the bass. Cement floor, yes, couple them to.For a wooden floor you need to de-couple, with some sort of heavy duty (for these speakers) So... | |
| Pass Labs X-1, X2.5 preamp volume increments. Yes must have been the way you worded it, if that's the case then I'll go back to Neslon Pass's concluding statement, as I've also found. Cheers GeorgeWhat could be better? Hardly any noise or distortion added by these simple passive parts. No fee... | |
| Hi End Fuses Yes wrong forum for this sort of question. It's like asking that someone can give a "tech-talk" to why do Shun Mook (B. Mpingo Disc Room Acoustic Treatment Devices) make a difference. ( I swear there was a difference when I blutac'ed one to my for... | |
| Pass Labs X-1, X2.5 preamp volume increments. watercourseRe: passive preamps. I have used TVCs and resistor-based, and indeed, with digital sources, there was a noticeable flatness to the sound. With all of my phono stages Very simple explanation for this, this is why I never recommend a pass... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie Nice amp to drive the Thiel’s with donzi, you’ve done the right thing and got an amp that give good current, for the Thiel’s nasty load impedance.Before buying a preamp donzi, what sort of source do you have or going to get, and does it have it’s ... | |
| Pass Labs X-1, X2.5 preamp volume increments. skiroeThanks much for the info.. (George) re/source output, amp gain, speaker sensitivity---I hear where you are coming from---but--- just off the top of my head .. would not a preamp that is able to do volume increments of .5db or even 1db have m... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I first would like to thank Richard also for that very in depth (War and Peace) review, keep up the good reviewing format, I think you may have missed your vocation in life.As for any tweaks that tradeontheweb asked that may have been done to the ... | |
| Digitally remastered vinyl record? Seriously? I’ll probably get castrated for this but don’t give a ****If you vinyl junkies want to make your digital sources sound like vinyl this is all you have to do.All you have to do is "ruin" the channel separation of digital (110dB-120dB) with a left +... | |
| Selling Damaged Magicos vgrubb Hi.This is tragic, there is a way the woofers could be damaged in transport, if they were dropped very hard, but both woofer is questionable. Seeing there was no external damage this is unlikely. The other way is if the buyers amp went dc o... | |
| Pass Labs X-1, X2.5 preamp volume increments. I have read the manual and notice that volume graduation is around 2 -3 db and this possibly may be inadequate when trying to volume down to a barely audible volume---such as I would need for my bedroom system. I often keep music on into the night... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i Now that I’ve seen the impedance graph of the CS5i, I would say forget the WFS and go with the JC1’s."Sensitivity: 87dB/2.83V/1m (equivalent to around 82dB/W/m, given the low impedance)". I didn’t realize the CS5i is so low in impedance in the ba... | |
| Recommend a passive preamp route I'm with mesch here, if you want to only spend $49, then the Schitt SYS is for you, and it has a trial 2 week period.http://schiit.com/products/sys Cheers George |
