| Ideas for low cost amplifiers with gain control I ran two pairs of Martin Logan speakers (Motions) for years, each pair powered by individual NAD amplifiers - the NAD C298 and the NAD 275BEE when I last had my basement bar room setup with multiple speakers (for two channel listening). Before ... | |
| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS Also a big fan of Dire Straits and Mark's creations due to the fact that there is silence (blackness) between notes and large swings of sound that do no overwhelm the listener, but actually draws you in. IMHO, Money For Nothing deviated a bit from... | |
| Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs Surprised that no one has even suggested using a McIntosh cable when you are using McIntosh equipment. I use a pair of cables from McIntosh to alleviate some perceived brightness between my preamp and amp. They are readily available on Crutchfield... | |
| Greg Kihn @larsman Yeah, my bad. Growing up in the 80's, I assumed he was from SoCal..for whatever reason. While his music got a fair amount of airplay, there was not a whole lot of ink devoted to him on the east coast. Just for fun, I looked up his conce... | |
| Greg Kihn Was a big fan of Greg Kihn. Kinda odd that a southern California boy wrote a song about a Madison Avenue man, but still know most of the lyrics. Certainly an icon for CA but he was popular in PA back in the day. | |
| Emphasis on stereo but need a complete solution. @moverton99 old thread but don’t forget to use the Yammy controls to match the sensitivity levels of your different manufactured speakers. For instance, if the Totems are rated at 89 dB and the Energy center and surrounds are 91db, then increase t... | |
| NAD Near Future HT Products? Your NAD T753v3 is not Class D, while the T778 is Class D. I have both an NAD 275BEE (Class A/B) and the newer Class D amplifier, NAD C298. The increased power of the Class D amps are notable. While class D is still "musical" as I have found all ... | |
| Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend? @lewm Is it possible for you simply to admit you made a few innocent but incorrect claims earlier on in this thread? I’m sure you’re a fine person regardless. I only corrected you so as to help others who may be newbies. | |
| Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend? @lewm Mijostyn is correct. The volume is not doubled as you stated. the combined volume will be 21 dB down or double the power, not double the volume. FYI- check your work before posting something that is incorrect. | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming @vandy357 I was on two year contracts for the past 10 years, bee bopping between one or the other because of price. Capitalism was working. Then about two years ago Comcast and Verizon started colluding with one another and the prices were iden... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming @vandy357 I had a similar experience with Comast/Xfinity. Used my own Arris Surfboard with their service and never got the speeds they promised - that I was paying for. When I upgraded to a better Arris Surfboard (3.1 DOCSIS) the problems remai... | |
| Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ? @helomech It doesn’t help that it received a rather scathing review by ASR. That and both ASR and Stereophile measurements reveal the Sphinx falls considerably short of meeting its claimed power spec. Amir at ASR predominately does not listen ... | |
| Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing? @emergingsoul Thanks! No water issues yet but the doors (threshold) needs to be replaced. Not going to be cheap.. | |
| Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing? I am not using a bi-amp setup. Simply using two sets of speakers with each pair powered by a different amp. They share the same preamp. That is unlike most others here.. But like others here, I have a separate 2-channel setup from my AV setup, ... | |
| Gain and level controls on an amplifier-a good thing? Since two-channel means two speakers 😀, very few of those in this forum - er, site - have ever wanted for gain control. So as fuzztone states, few folks on this site have a use case. For those of us who utilize four speakers (because the room is ... |
