| Anyone remember speakers by Kindel Audio? Any PLS-A owner looking for a pair of heavy-duty steel stands for theirs, almost free? The PLS-As I bought from jstromp were so equipped, and I do NOT need them. E-mail me at jeffreybehr@cox.net for pics if you're interested. The price will be $10... | |
| What is DTS and how different from SACD 5.1/DVD-A DTS is an acronym for Digital Theater Systems. Regarding multichannel sound, it's a system of compression and delivery of 6 channels* of audio via DVD-Video that uses less compression than the Dolby Digital soundtrack that is required on every DVD... | |
| Are There Any Inherent Advantages to Class A amps? "The Krell is probobly [SIC] pure class a for the first few watts or so."That's class AB, Radiob.Mitch, I believe class-A-biased amps have an inherent sound-quality advantage over class-AB-biased amps, but in well-designed amps, this advantage is ... | |
| Anyone remember speakers by Kindel Audio? TYVM, jstromp--the PLS-As that were yours yesterday morn are now in my multichannel music/movie system, partnering my 'old' PLS-As. It was a pleasure doing business with you. I hope you get your new music system running soon. | |
| What center speak go with Avalon Symbol? I know little about the Avalons, but if the S3/5 is a BBC-licensed minimonitor like the Rogers LS3/5A, it's rather thin sounding, or at least has very little output from the middle of the midbass down. That already is a mismatch with the Avalons, ... | |
| Is there a better sub than the Aerial SW12? Don't laugh--read the latest issues of 'Stereophile Ultimate AV', the replacement for 'S...Guide to Home Theater'. Someone is doing a survey of high-end SWs and so far rates the Genelec 4-driver model as the best...in extention, power, sub-20Hz po... | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? "anyone know of source for cross-x mod for aerial 10-t.thanks,bill."Bill, I just bought an Aerial CC3B. I'm an incorrigible tweak and e-mailed Aerial for info in the crossover.If the 10-T's crossover is as complex as the CC3B's, it's complex indee... | |
| What are your most favorite violin concerti? "This is a "Sophie's Choice" question. It ought not to be answered."Not at all. Sophie was forced to select someone to die; we're selecting things we love without destroying anything. | |
| What are your most favorite violin concerti? Tchaik's. Tied for 2nd are the Beethoven*, Brahms, and Sibelius, with the Mendelsohn close. I love the Barber until the 3rd movement, so it's gorgeous-but-short for me.* Did you know that Ludwig himself wrote a 6th piano concerto by adapting the V... | |
| Anyone remember speakers by Kindel Audio? I too, as Two Jeffreys Audio, sold Kindel speakers in the '80s. The smaller ones were great values but used not-good tweeters. I bought a pair of PLS-As in 1987 and still have them. I redid the crossovers years ago with better parts and am about t... | |
| Crossover cap value? ...the 'passive' devices in series with the signal and probably the parallel devices too. Most crossovers are easy to diagram, with the easiest high-pass being merely a series cap and maybe a parallel coil, while the simple low-pass filter is a se... | |
| Crossover cap value? 1. The formula for calculating filter frequency in Hertz is always 159155/RC with R = resistance in ohms and C = capacitance in microFarads. So a 1uF cap into a 22000-ohm load = 7.2 Hz. If the load resistor in the SE-120's circuitry is first, calc... | |
| Question from tube y newbie If your amp allows individual biasing of each output tube and does not 'require' matched tubes, it's perfectly OK to replace just one. However, as Marakanetz said, overall distortion will be lower with a matched set. Whether that difference in dis... | |
| Tube power vs Solid state power, how much is enoug Sean is right and Sean is wrong. A watt is indeed a watt. Also, many years ago the Federal Trade Commission regulated the way manufacturers rated the power of their consumer audio equipment, so generally, one at least gets the "100 watts into 8 oh... | |
| DVD-A questions: LFE channel; DTS/DVD-A confusion First, to Foobagger and Kr4, you guys must have those LFE woofers turned up LOTS louder than mine*--I have 3 of those Abravanel/Utah DVD-As (Sibelius symphonies 2&3 and 1&4 and Mahler 2) and seem not to hear that LF noise. I think the LFE ... |
