| Does anyone rember how to calculate impedance? Jeffreybehr-I was giving advice to another Audiogoner. He is runnig a satellite system with two mini-monitors and two subs. It looks like there is no crossover for the subs. He essentially is running them in parrallel. He twisted the wires togethe... | |
| Does anyone rember how to calculate impedance? You guys are genuises! So in order to avoid potential damage to the amp, it is better to connect them in sereis? Lower impedance is more likely to cause the amp to oscillate.P.S. I was kidding about the slide rule. However, if you insist, Where ca... | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? magnepan mg1.solid oak rails! | |
| Which turntable should I buy? Michell Gyrodec se W/Rega rb300 $2395 or rb 600 for $300 more. | |
| Which turntable should I buy? When it comes to turntables there is an embarrasmnet of riches these days.What bothers you most? Lack of tempo? Feedback? Are you a tinkerer? Are you like Ron Popeil-set it and forget it? Do you have springy floors and lots of foot traffic? Is thi... | |
| Slew Rate? If you like cars you see engines have two ratings torque and horsepower. Sheer horsepower effects top end spped. torque effects low end power.Similarly,amps have a power output and a current output. This is why when playing a tube amp and solid st... | |
| Can OTL's drive ribbons well? "fast organic liquidity with dynamics at around $4000 and hopefully much less(new or used)-- again specifically driving ribbon mids and highs?"I don't know what associated equipment you were using with the bryston maggies or what your musical tast... | |
| Can OTL's drive ribbons well? It seems I just discussed this with Albertporter. I recommended that he consider the atmaspheres for his ribbons or for the ultimate in speed consider solid sate. I made the speed decision based on my audition of the Martin Logan Statement latest ... | |
| Can OTL's drive ribbons well? OTLS are best with electrostatics. Theoretically they should work well with ribbons. My personal opinion- ribbons go with solid state. Tubes are too slow to get the speed out of ribbons. Happily there is a solid state OTL. The name escapes me now,... | |
| VPI turntable again...... Edle thier site lists four models. Congratulations! They all look gorgeous. Raul! It's your turn. | |
| VPI turntable again...... Edle, I thought I agreed with you at least with respect to three motor TNT. One version of which, if I remember correctly, was dumped on Audio Adivisor at or below cost. Nor do I subscribe to VPI's assertion that antisakte is unecessary. I had tha... | |
| VPI turntable again...... P.S. found manual for Aries 2. Rumble is minus 80db. Inaudible for the most part. | |
| VPI turntable again...... "...The latest step in the TNT V turntable's evolution is the TNT V-HR. The "HR" stands for "Hot Rod" and reflects a number of small and not-so-small changes to the basic TNT V. The most obvious of these are the omission of the three-pulley subcha... | |
| Analog Upgrade Suggestions Welcome Cello, I apprciate your response. But I think you inadvertently did something that contributes to a lot of the discord on this site. You assumed that I am not familiar with Rauls' previous comments. Sometimes Raul deserves to be slammed. A fact th... | |
| Analog Upgrade Suggestions Welcome I guess someone should say something in Rauls' defense. When I made my first statement on the audiogon site regarding vta, someone thought they had the authority to tell me to go away. While I think it is everyones right to correct obvious mistate... |
