| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse Pay attention to Atmasphere's(Ralph's) reply.Ralph's amps would be a great candidate for pairing off with Israel's speakers! | |
| Melody Gardot in concert she's in Seattle 6/19 Thanks again, Stewie - I saw the Seattle show - outstanding! I was awestruck that she's only 25 as she's just too damn wise beyond those few years. If you weren't actually seeing her, you might think you were listening to a 40-something seasoned j... | |
| Wright WPP100C Phono Preamp Died I'd second the recommendation for Roger Hug - he does fine work and is very familiar with Wright's work. Also, do check the fuse. This is a silly question, but given that you asked about the fuse, have you checked all the tubes to make sure that i... | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse Very wise advice from R_f_Sayles. Absolutely, if you do have the opportunity to try a wide variety of amps - do so and make your own choice. As you can see, both of us having done so came to very different conclusions as far as which amp worked be... | |
| Melody Gardot in concert she's in Seattle 6/19 Hey, thanks for posting that. I'd seen that she was coming and completely forgotten about it. I just snagged a ticket on the main floor for tonight. The Moore is a great venue. I've sat all over that place for various concerts, even back row balco... | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse I should qualify my comments, as Blindjim does make a good point, that brings to mind others. Not only will the volume (not just area) of the room make a difference, but the amps themselves will also, of course. I'd also pay attention to the progr... | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse I've owned the Super Eclipse III's for a few years now. They are outstanding speakers and very versatile in my own experience. I've used them with 8 watt SET amps with great success, though I think the low end drivers ultimately do require a bit m... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? Jax2 - how do you use the RTA from Studio Six? I use pink noise from one of the Stereophile discs to measure in-room response. You can freeze the graph and get it to yield a fixed set of measurements. I transfer those to a simple excel spreadsheet... | |
| Upgrade from Silverline 11 I've been offered Silverline 17's from Audiogon member that lacks references (rating). It could be alot of money to lose. Thanks. SR17's have gone through at least four significant changes over the years. There were three versions of the original... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? 06-18-10: MacdadtexasI have both of ths Jax2, and they are almost dead on, compared one to the other.Of course Studio Six claims theirs is more accurate than the Radio Shack meter. No idea whether that is true. I have their full Audio Tools set an... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? Here is some info on the frequency correction for out of the meters normal range.[www.avsforum]This is for the Radio Shack meter only. I think a few folks, at least the OP and myself, may be using the iPhone app by Studio Six Digital. Not sure wha... | |
| Upgrade from Silverline 11 I was going to suggest the same thing - stick with Silverline since you like the 11's - he makes excellent speakers all around. That said, I don't know that the step up to the 17's would be that significant for your having owned three different pa... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? Mid 80's. I'm listing in nearfield and above 90 is not very comfortable, and certainly not enjoyable to me. I agree - over 100db is just plain stupid, IMO, unless you don't value your hearing. Daverz reference table speaks volumes. Here's more inf... | |
| Volex cables - No longer belden??? Oh, now you guys are really getting a bit disgusting. I knew I liked you! | |
| Volex cables - No longer belden??? Is that the kind of cable Elizabeth was talking about? Yes. These cables came to be as a direct result of the legendary "Pangea orgy" Elizabeth refers to in her second post. Very astute observation. Glad to see at least someone is paying attention... |
