| Ayre DX-7 CD / DVD - Need laser head replaced - anyone know who I can pay to help me? I also have a DX-7 that stopped playing CDs. First I changed out the laser and all seemed to be well, but last time I played it it had odd blanks spots while playing where the sound would stop and then start up. Not like skipping. There was also a... | |
| The best cost no object tube DAC I think your reasoning is excellent about applying tubes in the source. I have not owned any Lampizator products, but his progression over the years was perhaps the most intense ever applied to analyzing every aspect of digital and especially how ... | |
| Most impressive small footprint speaker Merlin VSM models. Even the first one was a 'how is that much clarity possible?' speaker.http://www.stereomojo.com/MERLIN%20MUSIC%20VSM%20MXM%20Speakers/MerlinMusicVSMMXMSpeakersReview.htmhttp:// | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion If I understand the specific question you ask about the individual participants appearing distinctly, that seems to be how well placed the microphones are to catch the differences in intensity and reflections within the recorded space. The disbeli... | |
| Help with Audire Crescendo or schematics? Hi, I recently got a Audire Tenendo with the same low gain. I was told that Julius made some of his amps specifically for the film industry and they use a much larger input signal as their reference. I couldn't find a resistive pad on the input re... | |
| Infinity Kappa 8's As a long time Kappa 8 owner I can strongly recommend a simple bypass modification to the crossover that makes the speaker easy to drive and actually better with a more natural and full bass response. Simply unsolder or cut one side of the 12.5 mh... | |
| Tube Amp for GR Research LS-6 Liquidity can be found in the MFA products. The M-200 monoblocks should do very well. They also are easy maintenance in case of an output tube failure as they just blow an easy to change plate fuse. The AR VT-200 could do well, but with Audio Rese... | |
| Infinity Kappa 9 and McIntosh MC402 combo ? Hi, the K9's power hungry reputation is due to an unwise crossover trick to force more deep bass out of the relatively small cabinet for 2 12" woofers. If you run them stock, all you have heard about their amp burning reputation is true since the ... | |
| What Happened to Thiel? To me it defies logic that the 3.7 would remain their top of the line speaker as it is compact to say the least. I assume this new technology is going to be used to expand into larger models as well, unless the WAF has finally nailed the coffin sh... | |
| Anyone audition the new Thiel 3.7s yet? I heard them at my local dealer and was quite confused with the sound. Overall it was very uneven with great clarity in some areas but at the expense of any sense of warmth or continuity. The dealer was rather laid back about my comments and said ... | |
| Kappa 9. Parasound HCA-3500 WILL NOT power them Hi, I would check your midrange controls as they might have burned. Try this URL for a PDF of the schematic: http://www.infinity-classics.de/infinity/technik/manuals/Kappa_9_technical_sheet.pdf I believe that removing the huge series cap and shunt... | |

| Magnepans for the Blues? I've only tried the 2.6's and based on those I'd say no way. They are very inefficient, rattle on any serious bass note and sound vague unless your head is stapled in one place it took hours to find. Maybe other models are vastly better, but think... | |
| Extremely budget minded system for under $500.00 ? I assume you are talking used, since that opens up the possibilities. I still have and enjoy a Fisher all-in-one 100wpc, 24 CD, dual tape unit. It is always reliable and sounds very tube like with it's monolythic output chip (probably 2nd order ha... | |
| Dad likes my Infinity Kappa8's, What's similar? $500 and the 80's and liking your Kappa 8's = RS IIIa's as far as I would say. They are about 13" wide 10" deep and 4' tall with 2 10"s, a Polydome and an Emit. They are easy to drive because the woofers are in series and placement is pretty flexi... |
