| The most detailed speaker cable?? Let's try to interpret (rather than be sick). What Rsbeck seems to be claiming is that a connecting wire, in and of itself, cannot be "detailed" or otherwise because a wire passively connects components and only carries a signal (I'd also add the ... | |
| The most detailed speaker cable?? How *does* one solve a non-existant problemI'd start by being adventurous: bypass the IC connectors and hard-wire b/ween components. Not easy to do when using expensive commercial equipment, I know!After it's not only the wire that's conducting it... | |
| So my wife says to me this morning Sound to me like you just earned yourself some extra cash for new LPs. (sell the VPI)Pretend the Rega is a pre-industrial design coffee grinder. Or place a photo of a Ferrari in front of it. Cheers | |
| eAR 1001 power amp questions. It was the 1001. Cheers! | |
| why does preamp improve sound quality? An attenuator (passive) doesn't control anything but the volume function (voltage usually). In a passive attenuator, it's the source component that effectively drives the load via the volume control + connecting wires. If one has a source with a s... | |
| High quality transports Just as side note -- but aren't there only 3-4 manufacturers of generic transports out there (Philips, Sony, Teac, CEC maybe)? Why not determine which manufacturer is more to yr liking and then short-list the brands using that transport?I, for one... | |
| eAR 1001 power amp questions. As far as a) is concerned, I wouldn't worry BUT send the card particulars by FAX -- not e-mail. b) Can't say -- sales tax + s/thing surelyAs to sound: I only heard one model and I can't tell which one -- 501 or 1001 -- by looking at their site. I ... | |
| speaker with high WAF How about these. Electrostats, 1" wide, 6" tall. Look good in a living room, in an art deco sort of way. Good WAF, I know, I tried them with mine (wife, that is). Active, so no need for extra boxes (amps) cluttering the room. | |
| Turn Table upgrade, please advise I second Lugnut's priority schedule -- with an extra note re, the phono. I'd put the phono separately. A phono is very important BUT most available phonos are very average. A good -- not necessarily very expensive -- cartridge will often outperfor... | |
| Anyone use Kraft amplification? I had a Kraft integrated on loan for some time -- the "big" model -- and was driving a pair of Genesis Vs & Maggie 3,6 with it. I also tried it on a friend's Lowthers. He normally the ubiquitous flea rated SET but, however unlikely it may soun... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Way to go, Patrick. BTW, do try one day to listen to Mahler's 2nd symphony ("resurrection"). I think you'll like it! Cheers | |
| Turn Table upgrade, please advise I second the Scroeder. Most other unipivots (ex: Moerch) may offer some improvement -- but probably not as significant as the Schroeder. IMO, etc) | |
| Speakers that work with Atma-sphere M60 amps. Jb0194 -- what are you partnering the 3.1s with? You mentioned a 12" midbass... could you give more info? Cheers | |
| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? Actually, Duke, that's an excellent piece of written advice (if I may say so)! Cheers! | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons "Time/phase coherance" As Viridian notes above, 1st order helps with phase. However, it's one thing to time align the drive units & anther thing to tackle electrical phase. Cheers |
