| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? Gallaine: let's revive the basic assumptions. If mismatch, there can only be two points producing the sibilance if we rule out equipment per se: trans->dac, dac->pre. If you switch off the rest of the system and listen to headphones alone: i... | |
| Anyone uses FM Acoustics 155 Preamp Oooops, posted wrong models. Resolution 266 pre, Res. 411 power, was the combo I listened to. Sorry. | |
| Anyone uses FM Acoustics 155 Preamp FM Acoustics! Lucky you. What advice R U seeking? Having only auditioned FM, I don't know if I qualify to post-- but here goes. I listened to, and loved, a full FM set driving Tannoy 12s (150 amps, I THINK your pre). Transparency, speed, and accur... | |
| Help with Avalon Opuses Stdaddy: generally speaking, Avalons support wide-bandwidth reproduction, they have speed & superlative dynamics. So, you'll need horsepower, fast (slew rate), and precise amps. Which brand? It's up to your musical tastes to make the choice. I... | |

If you don't go down the dedicated lines way, try to use different outlets (from different lines) to plug in yr equipment -- rather than plugging everything into the same ou... | |
| Why Can We plug our AMPS directly into wall w/o Worrying? Baz,As Garfish intimates, "clean power" is important where the chain is most vulnerable: pre, digital front-end, etc. Power amps are less vulnerable (they usually have very large power supplies of their own), but they DO need to draw current -- he... | |
| Help with my University Research Project Trthomp, there is certainly no lack of interest in your project! Thank you for sharing your findings with us as you go along (your time permitting).Cheers! | |
| Can a Sumiko BPS be retipped at a reasonable cost. Gabe, there was a thread a while back called the BPS club (or something) that may have info. I retipped a BPS 3 times (OK, OK, joke's over:>)) at V D Hul for $~80/time. But this was in Europe.Good luck! | |
| Where is the weak chain in my system? Cj, I suggest you consider cables, cords, etc, AFTER tweaking the system as is; only after optimising your present system's operation will you be able to assess the suitability of new components to yr system & musical taste.Judging by your thr... | |
