| SUGGEST A TUBE AMP? There is a Conrad Johnson MV-55 (asking $1200) that will give plenty of that magic mids, if that's what your looking for. I don't know anything about the seller.[http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1316552835]That Atmasphere moved ... | |
| psudo Center channel from stereo This guy has some kind of a diagram that shorts the two negatives from the amps outputs. This is risky. I remember measuring power supply voltage between the two minus posts on some amps in the '70s and '80s. I think a friend blew an amp doing thi... | |
| psudo Center channel from stereo I tried several different ones over the years for fun. I did have a Dynaco ( Panor owned at time I believe ) that did have a five channel, that included the center speaker. I can't remember exactly what the center channel sounded like, but I don't... | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... I agree with Timlub. This guy is asking for help. How about giving something positive. He states he can't use floor standing speakers. I don't think anyone here is saying large speakers aren't any good. I have big and small, as the room, and situa... | |
| psudo Center channel from stereo They had resistors in the one I had. It was to help to keep your amp from having to low a resistance on it. [http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/899/decoder.htm] | |

| Is true-biamping now cheaper and easer? Like it was mentioned by other posters above.These amps are cheap, and made for band with tight budgets to get by, otherwise they may not be able to perform.Kr4 said it is very complicated. It definitely is. The audio reviewers probably would like... | |
| Is true-biamping now cheaper and easer? I would buy a real power amp first. Why bi-amp something like these? They give a power rating at 1khz only. That way, it sounds like a lot of watts. Who listens to just 1khz? True amps give the rating at 20-20,000 cycles. What happens to these amp... | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... creating thermo compression on top of designs dynamic compression.Johnk (Reviews | Threads | Answers | This Thread)They may not give the impact of bigger speakers, and my choice is larger also, but some small speakers still do come alive. They jus... | |
| Vintage Philips MC cartridges, but who built them? I used to go through cartridges like water in the '70s and '80s. I also used to keep up with the designers then. Changing them sounded as different as changing speakers sometimes. Then I lost track of them, mostly do to trying to live with the CD ... | |
| Bang & Olufsen Beogram RX2 turntable Those stay in sync with the 60 cycle (50 different countries) power from the outlet.I should have put 50 cycles in some different countries. | |
| Bang & Olufsen Beogram RX2 turntable After looking at the schematic, I believe the speed is controlled by a quartz crystal. The main problem is getting the correct voltage setup for it. I'm not sure how that is done. There are parts that may be mislabeled, or I'm reading something wr... | |
| Bang & Olufsen Beogram RX2 turntable B&O is a little vague, and they show two power supplies. One for 120 volts, the other for 230 volts is what it seems to be IMO. It looks like either one could use 50 or 60 cycles if I'm reading it right. The manual is available at the Vinyleng... | |
| Vintage Philips MC cartridges, but who built them? I give up. [http://www.docstoc.com/docs/45840715/Moving-Coil-Type-Pickup-Cartridge---Patent-4455639] | |
| Vintage Philips MC cartridges, but who built them? I thought Seiji Yoshioka was the first to do the yokeless design? But then, Ive been wrong in the past. [http://www.blackbirdaudio.com/Blackbird_Audio_Gallery/Transfiguration_Main.html] |
