| symphonic Line RG4 III vs RG4 IV? Overall, the mod sounds reasonable & careful.As to changing the electrolytics -- of course: electrolytics *do* have a shelf life after all, and heat, etc, don't help them much... I've read good things about the Panasonics.OTOH, b-gates in the ... | |
| why distortion and what is the cure Gary -Triangle: any sporting their new tweet. Yes they're expensive, unfortunately. Staying within yr budget, another idea would be a kit. There are many around; some reasonably priced UK examples are here or here.If you're willing to invest some ... | |
| Please Advise: Pre-Amp RIGHT channel OUT It does NOT sound like anything is wrong with the preamp's circuit -- so, no serious issue.More like a contact problem with the volume pot. Contact cleaner spray would be useful -- but you'd have to apply it on the inside of the pot, on the contac... | |
| why distortion and what is the cure Gary-With 12W max output you'd be best off with 95 db @2,83V sensitivity speakers -- minimum. Quite a few products in that sens. range -- triangle is one, but there are many others. | |
| symphonic Line RG4 III vs RG4 IV? Hi Tim-- I wouldn't be surprised if the designing engineer changed, it happens quite often apparently! I WOULD be surprised however, if the sound were drastically changed by the engineer as the equipment voicing is done by the owner (Mr Gemein) as... | |
| Subwoof Piega P10s for bass Quality, not Quantity? R U saying that the P10s have too strong bass? If so, I'm guessing that what you're hearing is a peak in the speakers' in room response around 80-100Hz. Try pulling them further away from back wall -- or even, try listing them a tad higher off the... | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Long -- sorry.Holzhauer sez: "I ... have far more faith in a large group of people who are familiar with live music calling a system realistic sounding than I do a set of scientific measurements." Agreed -- but I think you'd be VERY surprised at h... | |
| Help: my phono preamp is blowing away my linestage A TVC would be less subject to the impedance mismatches one encounters with pure resistive pots -- but, the load shouldn't be that difficult to drive. Take a look here or here. Say, a 47kOhm, or higher, amp input impedance would help.Otherwise, wh... | |
| symphonic Line RG4 III vs RG4 IV? I only got a quick glimpse of the "newest" version vs. the previous one (I assume the "newest version" was the MK IV). These latest amps were probably NOT fully broken in...As Symphonic Line products have a long life-cycle, but this IS a "new" ver... | |
| Getting into Opera... need advice I strongly second Rtn1's idea of getting a book. Besides the informational side, it will also be enjoyable reading.Other than that, I would also recommend Mozart's Don Giovanni (Giulini is an easily available choice here). Not only is the musical ... | |
| parts that make a speaker? Lots of info here and here. Also look at the parts express speaker diy pages.Use the links from these sites to expand further. Lots of info on the net! | |
| What is "Near Field" listening? "...I'd like to quit moving them and just listen. What do you think?" I think you answered your own question very aptly! Enjoy:)As to the title -- "near-field" Roughly, it means listening position close to the speakers: You listen to the direct so... | |
| Explain it to me like im 4 please? dedicated line Macdonj: It should provide some protection -- however, there would be leaks (at least, where the wire comes out of the wall) since shielding should continue along the entire length of the conductor.However, Sean is the person to apply to for depen... | |
| Music News Update March Great stuff, Ben. Maybe your posts should be the homepage here...:) | |
| Are my Virgos efficient enough? Outlier --The Mezzo may be ~twice as sensitive as the Virgo, but they are still go down below 4ohms -- not a benign load for your triodes.I believe you'll find that your amps are very well suited to driving the upper part (mid-highs) of a BI-AMPED... |
