| Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K Thank you all for all the recommendations. I am intrigued that their are quite a few within my budget that have tube preamplifier. Honestly I really like the tube sound but for the type of music I listen to might not work well and that is mostly r... | |
| Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K Again thanks for all the recommendations. @soix i had the RC-980BX preamp and to my current RC-995, there was a huge difference in sound quality, especially in the bass region. It has a much better, tighter bass with better definition. The mid an... | |
| Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K Thanks for the responses! It seems tubes is the way to go for preamp but will it match well with the B&K amp? | |
| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? I have the 2ci they do sound different from other speakers I had but I would say is is more of a natural, realistic sound with a warm touch. It is all personal preference. Room layout and speakers position are crucial for the these models. I have ... | |
| Flat frequency response I honestly prefer the house curve in my room. This is where the the bass region is above the reference level and trending at a downward slope where the up end of the frequency response(20k) is probably at about 6db/oct. In linear scale, theoretica... | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? Thanks for all responses! Some of the posts I do agree with stress on components and also turning on and off on certain amps. Logically, keeping electrical components like capacitors in PS keeps charged in a steady state. | |
| Replacing current sub with another @gdnrbob I dont understand by what you mean certain frequencies get attenuated? I am assuming you are referring to room nodes. | |
| Replacing current sub with another @gdnrbob Thanks for response. I will keep in mind about the 2wq. What limitation are you referring to? | |
| Replacing current sub with another @gdnrbob I was thinking of the 2wq awhile back but I never able to find one in my area. The HSU sub does pretty good in my system but I wanted a little more control. Yes I do agree DSP does introduce some signal latency from encoding and decoding... | |
| Replacing current sub with another @erik_squires Thanks for the info. | |
| Replacing current sub with another Thank you all for the responses. I like the idea of using the DSP for correction but I really want a sub with DSP or something more controls. Imo, I want to try avoiding using something in between the signal path of the main and preamp. | |
| Too powerful of an amp!? Yes you can as long as your are use the volume control diligently. Also many often overlook the input sensitivity of an amplifier and when using preamp, this is where synergy come into play. Keep in mind that this applies to separates and not much... | |
| Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone? @m669326 To answer your question, any frequency. When you listen just the bass, it most likely not going to sound natural. For example a double bass can go as low as 31hz(E1), or 5 string guitar. Almost every instrument has overtones that make is ... | |
| Your experience of moving to two subs Here is my take in this topic. Their is nothing wrong with one sub in a system if you implement it properly if you have the right resources. Yes dual, quad, etc, no matter how many subs you put in a room is going to improve the smoothness of the r... | |
| Question for Vandersteen owners @holmz I was thinking about getting the Vandy sub but at the moment they are hard to find in my area especially one without the crossover. |
