| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close Mapman, I would have no issue with a salesman lurking around to make sure I did not break anything. I'd do the same thing. But I would simply remark that I am there to answer any questions you may have, and heck, since there are no other customers... | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close My only experience was when visiting my sister in Manhattan around 1991. I was merely a prospective law student, not the full fledged lawyer I am now. I went into the store just to look. After all, SBS was the pre-eminent store in the U.S., and ho... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Thanks for the invite. I plan to be there, albeit a little after 12:00 p.m. I am looking forward to it. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier But what are those pieces which "costs several thousands more?" And why are they not mentioned in the review? I am not suggesting the review is wrong, but it certainly helps his credibility, the consumer's pool of information, to write "the Audio ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Because its not my job to contact the reviewer and ask him what he thought "between the lines." Its the reviewers job to write an informative review that includes comparisons with other similarly priced components. When those comparisons are not i... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Curiously missing from the latest review was any comparison to any other pre-amp, despite the fact the reviewer had two EAR pre-amps in his system. Given the price point of the EAR pre-amps, and the piece under review, a direct comparison would ha... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? "Its been my contention that negative feedback is a major culprit, literally violating one of the most fundamental rules of human hearing: how we detect the volume of a sound."Maybe. Maybe not. I've got a Music Reference RM-200II, and there are so... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? I have read Roger Modjeski address this issue, and his opinion seems to be that negative feedback got a bad name as a result of designers who had no formal training in electronics misusing and not being competent to properly implement negative fee... | |
| Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice? I listened to the big Decade at AKfest, powered by Jolida, and would not characterize the speaker as lean. I thought it had ample bass, if a bit wooly, but what I think it did have a glaring upper midrange, lower treble which made it a little diff... | |
| SET amp for Gallo ref 3.1 I am using a Music Reference RM-200II, using the four ohm taps, puts out a little more than 100 watts per channel. I also use the Gallo sub-amp. I love the amp very much on the Gallos, it is very neutral, and I've never run out of steam, and I lis... | |
| Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be? I would also make two suggestions. If you are pointing the speakers in, I would suggest placing them facing straight forward. The other issue may be your room. I felt mine sounded a little light, I did some measurements, and I learned that my room... | |
| Amp for Gallo Ref 3.1 and Modwright swl 9.0se? I am running a Music Reference RM-200II, which is over your price, to very good results. Roger Modjeski was running a special for his RM-10 tube amp for $1,450.00, regular $1,950.00 That included shipping. He says that is his favorite amplifier. I... | |
| Gallo Reference III midrange COOKED My party guests still laugh about it to this day. Three of the drivers let out a puff of smoke. I still don't see the humor, but I guess sense of humor differ. I now have PA speakers that I run through the home theater system. | |
| Gallo Reference III midrange COOKED I blew three of four mid drivers from using my 3.1s for karaoke. The first year I used them there were no problems. No such luck the second year. Gallo did not cover them under the warranty. I understood why. It was my fault. The defect did not li... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Here, here. I got there late, and only was able to listen to the upstairs system with the Sim Audio/Moon electronics and Theil 3.7s and Sonus Fabers. It was a great time, and I thank the crew at Hanson Audio for hosting this event. |
