| DEQX @astewart8944 , Steakster, Uberwaltz, and Almarg: Thanks so much for your continued advice. I was a little concerned about the output voltage of the PreMate+, but was glad to read no problem with putting it in series with my linestage. I will prob... | |
| DEQX @Almarg: Thinking once again, about getting the PreMate plus. I read you use your “5” unit as a line stage. Are you happy without a traditional line stage? I have an Aesthetix Calypso Signature I really like. I like the tube sound it gives, w... | |
| Turning off tube preamp first sends solid state amp into protection? +1 Wolf_Garcia | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Does anyone have any dealings with buying carts off of EBay, from Japan. The savings is tremendous. I’ve read from dealers, they come with no warranties. | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? I love my Aesthetix Rhea Signature with some of Andy’s low noise tubes. I haven’t read a lot about it on this forum, but really like mine. | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? Hands down it was David Gilmour in Chicago about two years ago. Unbelievable sound quality that drove me into my seat. My two sons and I flew there. At 70, he can still do it like he used to. | |
| A very basic question: Mark Levinson 331 and 2 par. of speakers... I would say it depends on your speakers impedance curve, when they are playing. Some speakers may be rated at a certain impedance, but dip during certain frequencies. The 331 is stable down to 2 ohms, so assuming your speakers don’t dip too much... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? I like my Pioneer PL-71 I purchased back in 1974. I had to dampen the tonearm, so it would handle my Urushi Black, but it’s still a gem. | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Extremely wide dispersion | |
| CDs Vs LPs I got back into vinyl about ten years ago. I’ve had a few Arc phono stages and finally ended up with an Asthetix Rhea Signature, going into an Aesthetix Calypso Signature. There are many better preamps, but my budget won’t allow and I’m satisfied... | |
| Theta Cassablanca 3 setup related question and request for input @gbabu5y: How does your Theta sound? I loved mine for video. It’s very versatile, with all of the different types of crossovers and their adjustable settings. You can go direct with LP pass or many other choices, as I’m sure you found out. It... | |
| Cover songs that are better than the originals. Dylan’s All Along The Watchtower performed by Hendrix | |
| If aftermarket premium power cords work, why won’t short runs of premium XLR cables work? What I am saying, is if one needs a longer length XLR cable, do you think the signal is degraded by using a short high quality cable, with a longer mid grade extension? I know power cords are carrying amperage and XLR cables are carrying smaller ... | |
| Room Correction, Acoustic Treatment, Positioning, etc. What are my options @mayoradamwest: You must have been looking at a diffuser/absorber combo. Yes-too rich for my budget, but u can make some. I was more intrigued by what he had to say about room acoustics. I have compared his advice to others and most are in line w... |
