| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers Crazyeddy: It’s true, they were a pita to set them up out of the crates, but my dealer put them together. I have had them spiked, but put them back on their casters, so I can easily reposition them, as I’m constantly experimenting with their pla... | |
| Wilson Speakers & Reviewers I bought a set of Maxx II's from my dealer, that were demos. Couldn't afford them otherwise. I have a couple of Krell EV 600's pushing them. I've had them around 6 years and have loved every minute. They're not hard to set up. You want them towed ... | |
| Phono Preamps with "balls" ? Avanti1960: I have an Aesthetix Calypso I love. I did have it upgraded to a Signature, but looking back, I think I would have just done the tube upgrade. It sounds much better, having been upgraded-just sayin. This preamp is very versatile. I... | |
| What position is your balance control set at and why? Blueranger: As said above, all LPs or CDs are not mastered the same. It’s very common for me to have to adjust my preamps balance, with the playing of a different CD or LP. I used to think I had a circuit problem. As far as your clip light goes a... | |
| I have question about frequency response and power issues I agree with stereo5. Ive blown many sets of crossovers on my speakers, but have both read and heard, particularly from Jerron at Wilson, it's not too much power that blows most drivers, it's power that's full of distortion. Even turning off a pre... | |
| Are We Different? This may sound crazy, but when I hear certain chord progressions, they move me. Unfortunately, I have become caught up in the equipment game, always seeking a way to make those chords sound even better. Lately, aside from room tuning, which is jus... | |
| Should I eliminate my preamp? Elf1: "Most" balanced outputs almost always double the output voltage. This is a good thing. Eliminating your preamp, if the preamp is in good internal condition, will sometimes make the final sound leaner and thinner. I would invest in a compara... | |
| Phono stage I’m surprised I hardly ever see any recommendations for the Aesthetix Rhea Signature. It’s very versatile with both se, as well as balanced connectors, a demagnitising function and has just about all the loading and output selections u could ever ... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) I would advise u to get a class"A" bias amp. They run a little hot, but the pay off is great. Think of a dragster on the start line. You rev the motor up to a high RPM, then pop the clutch. Now think of a car on that same starting line at idle. T... | |
| New or used cartridge wspohn:I have fairly decent hardware. I have an Aesthetix Rhea Signature phono, an Aesthetix Calypso Signature linestage going into a couple of Krell 600 monoblocks. I have a Dynavector DRT XV-1s I really like, as well as my Urushi Black. I hav... | |
| New or used cartridge Mulveling: No worries. Thanks for your advice and to others as well. I think, when I get around to it, I'll put my Urushi Black up for sale and perhaps get the Jade. Always appreciate all opinions. S... | |
| New or used cartridge I'm as guilty-maybe more than some, about not reading the initial question thoroughly, or posting "my" response before reading others. My Urushi Black is in very good condition. It doesn't need to be serviced. Just thought I would consider my opti... | |
| New or used cartridge Terry9: Thanks for the info, but there's nothing wrong with my Urushi Black. Just thought I would move up. Steve | |
| Experimenting with Speaker Room Placement Newbee and siox have it correct, as many others, at least in my experience. Jim Smith and Dennis Foley have very valuable info on this topic. Use the rule of thirds to start out with and go from there. A equal lateral triangle is a good place to s... | |
