| Gently used cassettes Hi Phasecorrect, I have: 3 (type II) TDK SA-90's,4 (type IV) TDK MA-110's and two 5-packs of (type II) TDK XLII-90's,All purchased sometime between 1993 and about 2000 or so...all in their original shrink wrap and never opened. They were always st... | |
| What speakers for 10k? After_hrs and Simao, Although, with regard to my post just above and in the interest of fairness, I suppose I should point out that the quote about the Wilsons I believe you're referring to, Simao, was not that they "blow the Wilsons out of the wa... | |
| What speakers for 10k? After_hrs and Simao,"Again, I imagine Wavetouch are quality products and that their designer is a passionate and devoted craftsman and technician, but the way these things are being trumpeted, you'd think they're the second coming of hi-end audio.... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Simao, Yep, I know, I may well sound a little Too enthusiastic at times, and I apologize if I come off as schill (not really my intention though). But, I've been as motivated to find end-game speakers as some of the others here, it's just that I h... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Jughead, I think the Parasound would be a good match, since the GT's are so efficient it may seem like more power than you need, but it means you'll likely be doing much of your listening in class A territory...unless you really want to crank them... | |
| What speakers for 10k? After_hrs, Yes, you are quite correct, of course...did not mean to cloud the issue. The GT's are utterly tonally correct. I didn't mean to imply that the speed the GT's have was somehow less than ideal, or at the expense of something else (just th... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Haven't heard the Beethovens myself. But, the reasons I think you'll love the GT's (Gen. 2 or SE) are because the entire presentation is uncommonly uncompromised, i.e. there seems to be no significant gaps or holes within it. (My quickie review he... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Ah, I see now, the Concert Grands should be great, too, and at a very nice price! Good luck! Let us know how that turns out. Regards. John | |
| What speakers for 10k? Jughead, I'm betting you'll flip over Wavetouch. I certainly did! | |
| Should Equalizers make a comeback? I'm currently using (digital parametric) EQ in an active, tri-amped setup. While no EQ has zero negative influence on the sound, I usually find that the sonic advantages very often outweigh the sonic disadvantages...and below roughly a 100hz or so... | |
| Cheapest volume control B_limo, yes, not really the way to go here. I've never tried it, but, on the face of it, it doesn't look as promising as the Goldpoint to me. Hopefully it may just be a matter of being a little patient for the right deal to surface, whether a Gold... | |
| Cheapest volume control In my view and as near as I can tell, the Axiom looks fairly interesting. This one is new to me and I'm not sure exactly how he gets the Alps pot out of the signal path, but, if that approach is sound, then I believe I might be considering that th... | |
| Cheapest volume control This is all FWIW and I'll defer to anyone who's used both the Lightspeed and the SYS (I've used neither), but I'm betting the SYS would likely be a step down - at least in the short run, til you could get something better, but if there's anything ... | |
| Amp frequency requirements for super tweeters? I didn't want so say anything earlier because I have not tried them myself, but I'm not really aware of anyone who has tried them and truly likes them... | |
| Amp frequency requirements for super tweeters? Is your amp simply rated to 20k or does it actually start to roll off at 20k? If the latter, then yes, you'll likely need an amp that can handle the frequency range covered by the supertweeters. If your DAC (or source), amp and DCX all can cover u... |
