| Cary SLP-05 balanced or single ended I prefer the single-ended mode. The sound seems to have nicer texture. | |
| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 So which tubes does the SLP-05 not use in single-ended mode? The review in Stereophile stated that it does not use tubes 5&6, which is obviously an error. Mikey and/or Jtran plese help. | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Maybe yes, maybe no. But SETs are the best amps, and the first watt sounds best. So you're going to need efficient speakers, if you want the best sound IMHO. | |
| Setting up a movie room in unfinished basement If you're going to install dropped ceiling tiles, first put sheets of Roxul between the joists. It's inexpensive, fireproof and a good sound absorber. Roxul made my room quiet, i.e., sound doesn't travel to the first floor. Also, use Roxul behind ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Agreed, Volleyguy! And audio magazine reviewers generally don't tell us what parts are used in the products. | |
| Powering Infinity Prelude MTS Joysjane:I think the plate amp is Class D, so it shouldn't radiate much heat in either case. I don't know much about Class D amps. But I think they were developed for automotive applications. | |
| Powering Infinity Prelude MTS An engineer from Harman who helped me with the initial system set-up, recommended using line-level to the sub. If you switched to speaker-level, I believe you'd have to re-run the RABOS CD tracks for making the final system adjustment. | |
| Outstanding brands? Tannoy DC | |
| Powering Infinity Prelude MTS One hook-up sends line-level signal to the BASH. Second hook-up sends speaker-level signal to the BASH. Either way, BASH powers the MTS sub. I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure. | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? I want the instruments to sound the way I think they're supposed to sound, e.g., strings, woodwinds, brass, keyboards, percussion, vocals, etc. This meets my definition of accuracy. | |
| When does the law diminishing returns kick in? After the honeymoon :) | |
| Powering Infinity Prelude MTS Yes, the 215 DMT II is a huge professional studio monitor, a.k.a. the poor man's Westminster. They look ugly unless soffet-mounted, but sound wonderful. and express every nuance even at very low volume. The Art Audio Jota HC amps with 300BXLS tube... | |
| Powering Infinity Prelude MTS I own Tannoy 215 DMT II speakers rated sensitivity 101dB. Dual concentric 15" drivers with compression horn tweeters, i.e., one of the greatest speaker designs ever made. I love both the Tannoy and the Prelude MTS, but they sound totally different. | |
| Powering Infinity Prelude MTS The original spikes screw in. Sp the first owner must have glued after-market spikes on them. If you're handy, recommend you try to fix the volume knob yourself. Also, when you do the RABOS measurements, make sure the tiny pots are all in the full... | |
