| preamp tube hiss from my SF Line 1 I just experienced a static/hiss last night for the first time. Kind of like when a turntable reaches the end of a record. Not noticeable during music, but noticeable when I hit 'pause'. I swapped cables on the amps and source, and isolated it to ... | |
| Sound anchors for Thiel 3.6? I went from spikes to cones to sound anchors. I overall preferred the sound anchors- full bass, a little more midrange. Maybe euphonic, but I still preferred it. | |
| Classe vs McIntosh Hi Pops,I was just curious about your new amp- did you feel you lost any detail or resolution vs. the solid state classes? | |
| Guidelines for treating cathedral ceilings My advice would be to start with some inexpensive foam panels, just to experiment. You can get 4 x 8 sheets at Home Depot, 1.5" thick, for around $10. This would allow you to temporarily hold or nail the panels in different areas and test the resu... | |
| Fluctuating volume in one channel: Part II Just an update . . . I sent in my amps to Classe via my dealer, and just got them back. So far so good after one night of listening. Armin mentioned replacing the shield wires, and replacing a resistor and cap, which he said wouldn't affect the un... | |
| Fluctuating volume in one channel: Part II Ketchup,thanks for your reply. Good to hear that everything worked out with Classe- it is nice to know that they stand behind the product!In my case I am using the XLR inputs, not the RCA's. I suppose the input board/shields that you mention are c... | |
| Fluctuating volume in one channel: Part II Hello Ketchup,I have a similar problem. I have Classe CAM 200 mono's. I have narrowed the problem down to one of the amps. In my case the volume doesn't entirely cut out, but when it goes, it goes down to about 1/4 of the normal amp's volume. It j... | |
| Martin Logan Ascent i vs. Odyssey Thanks for all the replies.I did end up getting the Odysseys. They are pretty well broken in now, and I am very impressed with the transition to the mid-bass- a fuller sound vs. what I remember of the Ascents. I am still playing with room placemen... | |
| PS Audio owners difference between Multiwave1and2 I found more detail and depth with the MW2. I have a tube preamp that used to chatter internally a lot with some of the MW1 settings. The MW2 is much quieter in that respect (I use P4 and TUB as my favorite settings). You only have 5 settings with... | |
| What high-end cdp for low-end quality CD's ? You mentioned your Thiel 3.6's. I have a pair also, and have recently moved to a dedicated room with 4 dedicated power circuits. While I am hearing new details and clarity, I (and especially my wife) am being irritated more by the edginess of the ... | |
| Thiel replacements Hi, I thought Drubin's question was a good one (how long have you had them, did you sour on them). I am wondering if you had a chance to hear them before buying on the system that the seller had (i.e. did it sound better in that setup?). I think a... | |
| Guidelines for treating cathedral ceilings the panel looks something like a roof truss- 18' wide, because that is the width of the room. 33" high, because that is the distance from the lowest part of the ceiling (9' above ground) to the peak of the cathedral part. I looked at your photo, a... | |
| Room Lens at CES? I didn't see any either . . . | |
| Guidelines for treating cathedral ceilings Theaudiotweak, it looks like you were right on with your suggestion about treating the upper walls. I just got finished building more panels for the front wall behind the speakers. These run along the border between the angled ceiling and the wall... | |
| Guidelines for treating cathedral ceilings To answer Newbee's question, I get the flutter echo pretty much everywhere in the room. I did have my wife clap at the speakers while I sat in the listening chair- pretty much the same results as anywhere else.I have a plush carpet with 1/2" pad t... |
