| Handling Heavy Amps I believe that Cary listed my V 12 to be eighty pounds and change. I bought it in ’01 when I was 41 and in great shape. I actually had to climb up a few steps on a ladder to put it where I had it at the time. The last time I had to move it from t... | |
| Why do some amplifiers throw a bigger soundstage than others? there are resonances occurring in the system that are causing an effect of reverberation. Examples include feedback That seems plausible. | |
| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) What means a Rhetorical question for you ? A question that you already have answered in your own mind. A question that no other answers will make any difference to you. | |
| Why do some amplifiers throw a bigger soundstage than others? Back in the late ’90s a dealer let me take home a Mesa Baron for the weekend. I was immediately intrigued and impressed by how up front and close the soundstage was (particularly the vocalist) and how it filled the room to an extent I had never e... | |
| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) After reading the OP and the replies to the OP and then the OP's response to the replies, I guess this was only a rhetorical question? Am i deaf? Am i ignorant of high end ? | |
| How does a preamp die from sitting unused for a few months? +1 @gs5556 . Always ohm the fuse out. | |
| Clean power and it's affect on sound quality Why not add some LSD to that coffee also? The OP will be able to see the sound as well as hear it! No need for a pricey TV or premature depletion of those solar batteries... @ellajeanelle , now you're talking! Count me in--I'm on board! | |
| Flexible Power Cords @jmalen123 , I just took a look on Audio Envy's site and I was wondering which power cables you have. Also, Audio Envy does not say anything about being shielded, so I assume that they are not? | |
| Records and CDs I have fond memories from back in the late '70s and early '80s of a bunch of us getting together at someone's apartment or trailer and spinning LPs all day and all night and using the the album covers that folded open like a book to clean the seed... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe @allenf1963 , at the risk of further antagonizing @dill , I will only say that after reading what you wrote about the development of the Plott Hound, I am surprised that "the brown dog" (Boxer/Plott mix) only weighs in at 35 lb.s! Getting back to... | |
| 6N8S 6SN7 6Н8С tubes? . . . @ellajeanelle , I just did a bit more surfing on ebay and there are actually similar listings . . .; they are quite affordable--I assume that means that they are not highly sought after and probably not all that great? | |
| 6N8S 6SN7 6Н8С tubes? Oops! I cannot edit my PO where I typed 6SN& meaning to type 6SN7 . . . I am a horrible typist. Thanks, @ellajeanelle , I will try to look that up to see how those two compare with the 6SN7. | |
| Flexible Power Cords @g9taylor , I just did a quick search on the Kimber Base PK10; is it a shielded cord? @carlsbad2 , wouldn't shielded be advised for digital sources? | |
| Question about adjusting the balance @zazouswing , thank you for your input and I believe that you are correct. I also think that I was woried about nothing . . . I have a solid center image and I guess that is all I should have really been concerned about. I don't know what led m... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe @allenf1963 , good to hear from a fellow animal lover and audiophile (although I am not sure the audiophile handle applies to me). Not familiar with the Plott Hound breed, but the two puppies we adopter were both boxer mixes (35% according to the... |
