| MBL 9011 v/s Boulder 2050 monos Sthekepat:The MBL sounded more warmer and softer but with higher extension on the top. Well, your quick comment is reasonably close to my experience with Tannoys above. Only, I did not detect the same anomalies in the bass region from the MBL. Hen... | |
| Tannoy Westminster major difference in sound between the original Westminsters and the newer Westminster Royale HE and SE models, especially in the speed of the bass?Hardly what I'd call major... there's a small taming of mid-bass & lower mids region in the newe... | |
| MBL 9011 v/s Boulder 2050 monos And these would be driving... what speakers?? And driven by what???I.e. what's the system? All your parametres -- but esp. 2-3 -- refer to spkrs and amp-spkr interface primarily.For example, 901 was more satisfactory driving Tannoy Westminsters th... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? But now there is a MBL dealer in my country , what about the MBL preamplifiers 6011D or 5011In absolute terms, the 6011 then the 5011.But, I really can't tell what you need: i.e. both are very versatile and practical with lots of functionalities a... | |
| Are most budget & mid range amps under-powered? Dont get hung up on power ratings. there is no set rating system for maufacturers and, as such, the specified power output is useless in determining an amps capability.??? The specified output IS the amp's capability in energy... output. You must ... | |
| Channel Imbalance...HELP ??? My puter's playing tricks on me -- or not??? This is the same as another thread?If so, pls check my response at the other thread. Cheers | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? I recall FM Acoustics now...it's a swiss boutique manufacturer catering to the exclusive "money is no object/sound is second" club.Hardly. It's a pro equip manufacturer, it's not priced over all others, and the sound quality is superb. Nice quote ... | |
| Power Cords on a $1000 budget what would you do? going from a cheap lower guage power cord to a giant 8 guage power cord for only $500.00 If it's really so significantly superior, why not make it yrself for $5?There no magic to making a reasonably good wire connector. | |
| Artists 'SELLING OUT' - can we discuss? Kubla: an artist who has made a living purporting certain values, who has created a fan base who share those values (...) suddenly for nothing more than another paycheck goes against those valuesAre you raising the question of financial supremacy,... | |
| I can't stop listening, the magic is back it (magic) all came by getting my speakers back on casters and changing the position slightlyExcellent! Dgad's experience also serves perfectly to emphasize yet again the importance of speaker set-up/ POSITIONING.Dgad: you may find on occasion tha... | |
| Budget power amp for Promethius TVC and Quad 22L Can any one explain why the sound is bright and lean?Since I don;t know the characteristics of your AV rec (is there an input buffer...etc?) or yr source, I can only surmise that the source component is NOT outputting enough energy to drive the re... | |
| Bypassing capacitor caps , and caps in General it is prefer(r)able to use good quality electrolytics (such as Black Gates)That's correct, afa the statement goes -- I don't particularly like the BG however.How much improvement will Black Gates offer in comparison to the Nippon Chemi-Con caps if... | |
| Analysis Audio planar owners ? Cjfrbw has probably nailed the primary source of these comments.BTW, I happened to be present (actually, having a fortifying drink) while s/one changed surrounds on an old pair of Analysis s/things (very big).It didn't seem like a particularly com... | |
| Budget power amp for Promethius TVC and Quad 22L I agree with Ngjockey about the gain issue.Gain (i.e. amplification factor) is not very important in this context, and you have already opted for ~100W capability for the amp, so stick with that for now. However, A TVC, or any passive device for t... | |
| Clearaudio Insider Wood output question??? Esoxhntrmore of a gain to be had in terms of sound quality than in terms of pure volumeIn this case,the loading suggestions aim at exploring possible losses in the cartridge -> phono input interface. As you note, the sound quality is satisfacto... |
