| Dc voltage sent to my speakers Thanks, @atmasphere , I guess I am going a few extra miles then. I will worry no longer. Thanks again. | |
| Dc voltage sent to my speakers So if the preamp is turned on after the amp is already on, the amp is in danger! That is why the common protocol is the preamp of any system (tube or solid state) is always turned on first and allowed to stabilize prior to powering up the amp! It... | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? @gjohns , the more booze the more toe-in? Or vice versa? | |
| Impressions of the JBL L100 Classics? Thanks, @scottok , I will check that out. MD does sell them, and MD does have a 60 day audition period, but I'd like to have an idea that a speaker is going to do what I want it to first, as I don't want to be shipping speakers back to the selle... | |
| Impressions of the JBL L100 Classics? Classic 1970's sound, if you listen to 70's rock they will shine Thanks, @hiend2 , it's not to often I go that far back in the archives. I am thinking that these, also, may not be what I am looking for. | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @asvjerry , cueing up would be impossible! I can only imagine how many LPs and cartridges would get destroyed! Good thing I never made it back to vinyl after the digital revolution ended. I can see issues with that as well . . . I think if th... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @atmasphere , in light of the SET & metal discussion that was going on, this is an interesting thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/young-audiophile-metal-head-looking-to-level-up-speaker-choice#2643720 I also was wondering if in y... | |
| Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice @newfzx7 , this is an interesting thread I stumbled upon. In light of our previous conversation, I meant to ask you how efficient your speakers have to be to get what you want out of metal with 4 wpc of SET? | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? Gotcha. | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? I remember once upon a time using a Sheffield Labs disc that had an in-phase/out-of-phase track and Doug or Rodger (I cannot remember which) said, when out of phase, to position the speakers enhance the out of focus as much as possible (when out o... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? I get great transparency, detail, soundstage with a small hint of warmth and musicality. @calvinj , with absolutely no intention of taking this down a rabbit hole, how do you define a "small hint of musicality"? | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? As i see it now after my experiments and this correspond to what you said when you said that you want to see the musicians more than hear them, iis now so well reproduced and translated by your system/room that now you "SEE" the instruments an... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @asvjerry , I will admit that There is at least one I can think of specifically who describes a great room and speakers that cost more than my entire system front to back. was poorly constructed and could have easily been construed to mean oth... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? but in all good recordings you keep the eyes open , not close, because you are irresistibly convinced that you are there in the church where the organ played or you are persuaded that the organ is there in your room and your room begun to be a ch... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? I am also going to say that in my small untreated flawed room with the speakers and front end that I now have on board, what I now hear that makes the biggest difference in SQ is due to the quality of the source material. Another thing of huge... |
