| Nordost Red Dawn revII vs SPM Had both. Greater difference on the speaker cable than the I/C -- the reason, allegedly, that capacitance matching is not a major issue on the speaker cable... Agree w/ sugarbrie on the price differential though... | |
| The partner or wife factor W.A.F. aside, how about IN-LAWS?? My friend loves music but rarely joins in listening tests. Not so, her mother. We recently sat down with my "virtual" mother I-L and auditioned speakers for a whole weekend!! In fact, I had comments such as "aweso... | |
| Audio Physic: Virgo or Libra??? Beware of room & amplification, Sunnyjim! I successively had Virgo, Libra AND Avanti -- and, also auditioned the Medea -- AND met J.Gerhard (Mr A Physics). I spent 2 happy yrs with Mr Gerhard's products.IMO the difference in quality justified ... | |
| dedicated power circuit for amp Hi Jjurich. The freer flow of power (i.e. larger gauge wire) allows the equipment to "breathe" better. I had a similarly ear-opening experience when I ran a 32A dedicated line from the fuse box to my listening room, and hooked up the whole system.... | |
| If you could... Hi Ziff -- try a rectangular 15W x 25L x 12H. Also, you can check out Cardas' Golden Rule for speaker placement that also refers to rooms. Good luck! | |
| Best Bach St. Matthews Passion Hello Doug, for St. Matthew I strongly recommend the O. Klemperer version on EMI. (In the latest EMI a.r.t. version you also get good sound.) IMO this is a "universal" performance. For a more "germanic" you could consider Scherchen. But... a live ... | |
| Supplying Power and Working Miracles Hi Meta. The plugs are three prong with a click-on lock (should i have said industrial???). The wire from the main board leads to a "distributor" (*proxy*) in the listening room, basically a rod with one input and 6 outputs. The same 35A wire is u... | |
| TUNING Sub - Speaker/GenesisV. Anyone? Steve, welcome to the happy Genesis gang. Re mid-low: I haven't yet managed to achieve flat coupling between low & mid in my room (15w x25l x10h). However, a flat result below 200Hz sounds very good... My speakers are ~7 ft apart woofer to woo... | |
| A Tombstone in the Living room???? Just a remark from a latecomer in the Tombstones discussion. Much of the junk found in graveyards (RIP)are MARBLE and IMO, marble does NOT work the same way as marble --- granite is invariably better, especially under heavy components eg, power am... | |
| TUNING Sub - Speaker/GenesisV. Anyone? Amcore, thanks for responding. The coil was CUT at one point, and I had no sound coming out of it. I was playing with volume @11:00 (uneccessarily load, for my room, I might add) and the music was Mahler's 5th symphony. By the way, I have never ti... | |
| TUNING Sub - Speaker/GenesisV. Anyone? Pls don't disqualify me from this forum, but I blew one of my front ribbon tweaters (had a spare) -- is this part of the GenV package or (probably) am I doing something wrong? Maybe playing too loud? Anyone encountered this shortcoming?Txs again | |
| Tuning Subs on GenVs -- Help, Anyone? Adrian & Joe -- thanks for yr tips. I'm working on them | |
| New tubes every year...or every five? ? Craig, Detlof's probably hit it the proverbial nail on the SOVhead. The current supply on (my) Jadis was quite stable and ample, hence no extraordinary tube wear. But replacement every 12??? That's expensive -- why not try another tube manuf. and ... | |
| TUNING Sub - Speaker/GenesisV. Anyone? Guys, great guidance, TXS, esp. Amcore for all your time. Have placed speakers as per Cardas. Room size (ft) 15w x 25l x 10h. Cabling is Bearlabs, clear and musical. I am now at Ph 45/Vol 39/Low pass 85/ and adjusting. Thanks again! | |
| New tubes every year...or every five? ? Cwlondon, Detlof & others, we'll get a quantity discount for the examination or the hearing aids... I had a Jadis front end with Sylvanias. I sold this back in 1991. The buyer subsequently sold to a friend of mine and, there I was, staring at ... |
