Need speaker recommendation for modded asl wave 20
And what's the power rating of the Wave 20s? 'Tain't on Divergent's site.. 
Where to buy 2" maple shelves fast?
Over, check my system. I built an equipmement rack suing TumberNation's 2"-laminated-maple shelves and am very happy with it, so much, that I recently ordered and received a 5th shelf that I've stained but not yet drilled and installed. See a pic ... 
DTS/DD - 80's, 90's,,,,today
.Things aren't RECORDED in DTS or DD. Those are compression/expansion systems designed for PLAYBACK, just as Dolby-B and -C are 'compansion' systems for analog tape. Most motion pictures are recorded in CD resolution, 44.1KHz/16bit, and DTS and DD... 
High end amp - my last step
I think you should seriously consider OTL amps in the form of Atma-Sphere MA-2 Mk. IIIs. They'll deliver 220 Watts per chassis into 4-, 8-, or 16-Ohm loads and are VERY transparent, being without output transformers or output-coupling caps. US$30K... 
Do Audiophiles really like music?
SOME of us LOVE music and listen to lots of real music; I know I do and many of my audiofool friends do too. I really enjoy listening to music on my multichannel system, and I usually hear at least one album an evening. I know the sound quality of... 
Question about Gallo Ref III
'...so yes, you need a separate amplifier...' for the SECOND voicecoils. You do NOT need more than one channel of amplification for ONE full-range speaker. Only if you want more bass output would you get a 2nd amp, etc.. 
KT-88's better than EH ...

Quicksilver V4 or Rogue M-150, Hurricane,CJ 60SE
.BIG difference in power outputs!!!I've had a few c-j pre- and poweramps and my experience is exactly opposite Bkonig's. Each sound fine. Had QS V4s; altho initially I was quite happy with them driving very inefficient Eminent Tech. 8s, I returned... 
CONRAD JOHNSON MV50 Owners, anyone outthere?
Alan, I was trying to improve its sound for you. I do not own one. I now see you'll be replacing it so improving it is a mute point.But I have to ask...if you love its sound so much, why replace it? Does it have enough power? If you replace it, ma... 
CONRAD JOHNSON MV50 Owners, anyone outthere?
Alan, does your '50 use the great-sounding cjd 'styrene caps? 'Propylenes as main-PS caps and not 'lytics? Do you have a schematic diagram?. 
Virtually no bass from my Elite DVD player in SACD
I thought Kal was going to say it, but he didn't. Check the speaker settings in the player; they should all be set to large, with SW On. That passes ALL the signal on the disc to the pre/pro.. 
Preamp Mods Any Recommendations?
Got a schematic diagram you can send me?. 
Tube Rolling Quicksilver v4, Preamp recommedation
I had a pair of V4s and usd them on the MR/tweeter panels of Eminent Tech. 8s. I used both the original Chinese '88s and a set of Ei KT90s I already had. Frankly, not being a GEA and being more of a tin-eared audiofool, I couldn't distinguish diff... 
Help Please Woofer Pumping Is it Amp, CD or ?
Turn the woofer amp off and disconnect all IC cable. Turn it back on. If the cones pump, it's the amp causing it. Turn-on and turn-off thumps aren't necessarily bad but depend on severity IMO. How far do the cones move on turn-on/off?. 
Modifications on ASL Hurricane 200 DT ?
Dennis, the ASL 'Cane uses NO overall or local feedback loops. E-mail me at jefreybehr(at)cox(dot)net and I'll send you (or anyone who asks) a JPG image of the schematic. Let me know if you have hi-speed or dial-up service, as the file CAN be quit...
