| What is the BEST resistor for audio use I second Albert's motion and regret I have neither the skills nor the parts availability to try this! | |
| Audio at 54 Khz by Tannoy I remember reading a french article claiming proof that we *perceive* sounds beyond our aural limits (through the bones, I believe). If this is the case, wide-bandwidth reproduction is useful: many instruments' harmonics go well beyond the standar... | |
| ML 390S vs dCS Verdi/Purcell/Elgar Plus Mike, I find the Capitole excellent -- but not quite in the same class as CD-12, the big Lurne, Burmester, Goldmund or Boulder. Haven't carefully auditioned the big ML, so I can't venture an opinion. Also, I listen to classical, so others' mileage... | |
| My ML380S has static when I change volume Using the remote or the volume pot? If latter, see above. If the former, I can't tell, sorry. What's MLevs' take on this?Good luck! | |
| What speakers are replace Klipsch horns? Correction, Bob: *DO* listen to the wife ->). She kindly offered to KEEP the Khorns AND look into an SET for them!!!Re, SET (=single-ended triodes) is an amp design. There are many in the market, most are expensive. The sound is dynamic, with g... | |
| Have you heard Rockport speakers? Bill for your last paragraph: hear! hear! I believe that you will have only pleasant surprises and enjoyment. Worth living for!(Off topic, sorry, but enthused by your approach.) Cheers! | |
| SACD review site a go Now, I need your input ... ...for people not (yet) on the SACD bandwagon.A sort of simple, practical SACD 101: the sound (with analogies: vs vinyl, redbook cd, master tape...), the recording technology, the bandwidth, the "how-to" of choosing a player, the s/w, etc.Great id... | |
| Recommended integrated for B&W 802? I second Arup's suggestion for the Aleph. On the other hand, there are other excellent suggestions in your short-list. In another vein, pls let me state the obvious: the machines suggested DO sound different from one another (regardless of their c... | |
| What speakers are replace Klipsch horns? More of same: the Klipsch are keepers IMO -- even if one day they end up as a secondary set. At $2k it is doubtful that you'll find better USED (forget new) -- and even if you do, you'll be entering a long (and expensive) phase of electronics upgr... | |
| "Pictures From Exhibition" best recording? Performance-wise, I can also suggest Benno Moiseiwitch (2cd/mono -"Appian" - compilation of '38-'45 recordings). Richter & Horowitz are also among my favourites. | |
| Cable rec for Triangle Antal/Linn Classik combo Fast cables do the trick, even if they are slightly restricted in the lower mids/upper bass. The cheaper Nordosts (models below Blue Heaven) are one good choice. Also if on a budget, I would recommend single wiring in order to open up your choices... | |
| How BIG is yours? About 2.500 LPs and +1000 cds. One way of counting LPs is to measure the length of space when tighly stacked. ABout 225 LPs to the metre. So what I'm really saying is, I have a bit over 11 metres in LP, 3 metres of which is jazz & blues (the r... | |
| Newbie question.. Preamp and Sub Jinmtvt: no problem. Connect one of the outputs of yr pre to the input of the sub -- the same way you do with the power amp. If yr pre does not have two sets of outputs, you can use Y connectors (i.e., one rca on the one side, two on the other: so... | |
| Out of Control Pbb: Your method attests of exemplary rigour (as we might say in French :>)). To be followed, I say!BTW (by the way) since Pbb mentions loo reading, most of our matl is OFF hobby: cars & business reviews, cartoons, etc... audiophiles' loo-r... | |
| Best CHEAP floorstanders? Excellent recommmendations above. I'll second the Triangle Zephyr. |
