| Preamp with lots of outputs? Doug, I think you're going to need at least TWO input/output switchers, not a preamp. . | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 Dam, you want WARMER-sounding caps than the Jensens? I think they don't exist. Certainly nothing you or anyone else has mentioned will sound warmer than the Jensen PIO/CFs.Why do you want so much color from your preamp? If your system sounds thin,... | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 Dam, if you'll tell us what you don't you like about the Jensens, probably we can advise you more appropriately.FWIW, I think you ought to set your quality goal higher than those of the caps you mentioned.. | |
| Avangarde trio installation help Did you look on AV's site?. | |
| SET amps and speaker sensitivity. This, Maria, can be a proverbial can of worms, but here goes...Regarding speakers, 'high-sensitivity' MIGHT be defined as anything at or above 93dB, but there's NO concensus here. As the 'typical' or 'average' speaker is rated around 90, I figure ... | |
| bi wiring Well thank you, Chad!. | |
| bi wiring 1. Actually, Chad, I'm neither Bi-polar nor bi-polar nor bipolar. I'm just a nice guy whos been an audiofool almost 50 years and who tries to help people help themselves and who also knows how to spell and punctuate words that include prefixes.2.... | |
| bi wiring You're welcome.Did you SEARCH?. | |
| bi wiring Biwiring...biwiring...it's biwiring, not bi-wiring or bi wiring. 'Bi' is NOT a word that when used as a prefix gets attached with a hyphen, it's a nonword prefix that becomes an intergral part of the work it modifies.And on your question, SEARCH a... | |

| 300B or 845? Eril, what did you do? In the 1-3/4 years since I posted above, the Quad 989s and ASL 805s have been replaced, first with Eminent Technology 8s and ASL Hurricanes running in triode, and then with DIY, line-array, open-baffle speakers... http://i89... | |
| Five Monoblocks vs. One 5-Channel Amp Well, maybe the exactly-$300 for a balanced rather than the RCA-input amp is 'little' to you, but for me it's $300 thrown away. If there were substantial demonstrable benefits to balanced inputs for HOME-audio gear, 90% of high-end gear would have... | |
| Five Monoblocks vs. One 5-Channel Amp I believe the Outlaw 200W. monoamp is of an operating class other than AB, that is, it uses 2 powersupplies and switches on the 2nd only when 'needed'. I have read that it sounds not quite as good as a normal Class-AB or especially as a Class-A am... | |
| Salk or Selah or ? I heard several Salks and Selahs at RMAF, Oct., '06. In fact the several of them had the best-sounding treble I heard at the show, as they all had Fountek or Aurum Cantus ribbon tweeters. My favorite of all of them was the Selah Audio 3D... http:/... | |
