| Does my 7 channel need some back up? 1. I'd look for a powered subwoofer (or 2; I have a pair of Woofers by Bob Dominators) to reproduce those special effects and to relieve your LRs from doing so. I suggest Outlaw or Hsu.2. On poweramps, unless you buy Outlaw (and I did*), you'll sp... | |
| Impedance mismatch? Hasse, the higher the load's input impedance, the easier it is for the source to drive. One looks for a minimum 1:10 ratio of driving-to-driven impedances, and higher (= 1:20, for instance) is better.. | |

| How often should you re-calibrate your ears? Hmm...how about twice a month? That's about how often I hear real music during our orchestra's nine-month season. Some of us have REALLY short aural memories.. | |
| bi amping Von Schweikert vr4 jr W, I suggest you spend the few dollars for the RadShak versions while you're experimenting. If you decide to keep the biamp setup, then you have some high-quality options, including having your IC-cable company add another output stub to your exis... | |
| bi amping Von Schweikert vr4 jr You drive 2 channels of the amp with the left-channel signal and you drive 2 more channels of that amp with the right-channel signal. Two outputs for EACH of the right- and left-channel signals may be available on your processor/preamp, in which c... | |
| capacitance/inductance ...and that's important only if you use LONG cables or if your drive unit has high (say, over 1000 Ohms) output impedance.. | |
| Yet another wacko 'Help Me Decide' thread... This amuses me. I'm back into high-end audio for only about 1-1/2 years after being out for a dacade of so. I don't even know what those are. I THINK I've seen the brandnames. LOTS of stuff out there!. | |
| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? Search this site, prof. You'll find probably hundreds of notes on the AntiCables.. | |
| With all your knowlege you have gained over time, Generally, I'd buy FIRST the gear I now have and love, instead of spending money on the hundreds of pieces that got replaced over the decades...I think. Maybe I'd have money for that 6-channel tubed preamp!. | |
| phase inverted preamps...about This'll be interesting. I can't imigine there would be a difference.. | |
| Tube amp, size and power info........ Chad, with 99dB-sensitive speakers, you're ready for flea-powered SETs. An affordable one is the ASL Tulip, here http://www.divertech.com/asltulip.html , and here http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?accstwek&1134752610 is one for $600!!!!!!... | |
| SET for Orchestral , Big Band etc. "...thought Atkinson's analysis was VERY harsh. Didn't you think? I think, towards the end, he said something to the effect of them being "broken" by most engineering standards? Did you get that same impression?"Not at all. I was MUCH more swayed ... | |
| Replacing caps in Audio Research, help alun, if you can mail me a clean schematic diagram, I'll be happy to help. From the ARCDB, I see 9 'lytic caps in the PS, some film-types on the PS board, and 8 couplers per channel. Recapping this monster won't be inexpensive, but you knew that w... | |
| What Bryston says about power cord... "Audiogon is the only place I know of where the majority seem to encourage spending money on fancy power cords..." Oh no. There are even-more PCs-make-HUGE-differences people on Audio Asylums.On the sound of powercords, I believe that EVERY change... |
