| What's that buzz, tell me what's a happening... First, try tigthtening all the woofer screws a little to see if one is loose. This happened regularly on my Spica Angeluses, exactly as you describe. Important: Don't overtighten! If the screw doesn't turn easily, then it's probably not the proble... | |
| Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible. I like to see the tubes, too. Check out Atma-sphere if you like to see lots of big glowing power tubes. I really prefer the look of some tubes that glow a bright white - I think those are the ones that have direct heated thoriated cathodes, maybe ... | |
| Anybody ever audition the Pass XA series amps? Pubul - One of the best systems I heard at CES (or anywhere) used CAT monoblocks (along with a Reimyo CD Player and Ascendo speakers). They will probably be tough to upgrade from. | |
| is RMAF worth a trip When is it? For some reason, I thought it already happened. | |
| What Are They Talking About? Chadnliz - I'm with Kublakhan that's great!! I've occasionally wondered what that was - How the heck did you ever figure that out? Did you actually read the help file? Is there other helpful stuff in there we should know about? (ya, i know I could... | |
| Unhappy with tubes so which transistor amp? One other to check out is Audiopax, if they are available in your country. They are from Brazil, and the 2 years I went to CES, they had one of the best sounding rooms in the show. Although mostly known for their tube amps, they were showing a pai... | |
| I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies What Mlsstl said.I have noticed that some copies friends have made me sound unexpectedly good, although I don't have the origina; to compare to. I think one thing to keep in mind is that all signals are analog; digital is simply a concept to analy... | |
| BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS? I think I know what Cdc is saying. A traditional gfraphic EQ is very similar, circuit wise, to a series of crossovers wired together, so a crossover in the speakers does similar damage to the music signal. I suppose he may also be making a pitch f... | |
| EyeClops Handheld Bionic Eye Sounds cool, thanks for the tip! | |
| How to audition used speakers??? The Magnepan QR speakers (I forget the exact model, they were in the $1600 - $1800 range, I think) were great speakers, if you can get them to work with your room. I had a pair on home trial for a bit, and found them to be very detailed and musica... | |
| How to audition used speakers??? I am a big Spica fan, but I would be hesitant to put them in a dorm system, unless you are sure you can keep someone from cranking them to 11. They are very different than floor stnading Klipsch speakers. They will sound much more natural, but not... | |
| Is it double taxation? "For every dollar the Federal Government spends, it gets back $8.00"Then why do we have a deficit? The Federal Government should have enough money to not collect taxes for the next 1600 years. | |
| Help Do I have fake van den Hul Mainsstreams? I'd like to see for myself, but the pics aren't readily findable on the Van den Hul site. Can you post a link? | |
| Any Putumayo fans? Yes, I have a few Putumayo discs, and like them very much. Most recently Paris (which my French friend liked so much, she got a copy herself). One of my favorites is A Native American Oddysey (don't know if it's still in print). I'll have to inves... | |
| Why does New York radio station sond so good? I'm back home now, at least for a while, so can't check out the other suggestions, but thanks. I'll check them out next time I go back.Interesting thoughts by Palasr. Their web site mentions that their antennas are on the Empire State Building. I ... |
