| Bi-Amp success story Nice posts you guys! Here's my 2 cents. While most amps can play loudly very few can obtain a high SPL without distortion. Low impedance speaker design characteristics further tax amplification demands and as gain increases so does distortion. As ... | |
| Electrostatic or Dynamic Given the correct electronics and room setup, I think ESL's produce a more satisfying presentation of the music than a box loaded with dynamic drivers. The box induced coloration's, particularly in the midrange, bug the hell out of me. Every now a... | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s Bowhunter: Some High End amp manufacturers do! My Classe CA 300 came with a high-end "super-duper" power cord and I understand that NAD recommends the use of their power cord. Some "High End Amp" manufacturers such as Krell have even produced, mar... | |
| Power Cord For Audio Research gear FINALLY! SOMETHING WE CAN ALL AGREE ON! | |
| VTL 450 SIG. vs. Wolcott P220M I recently purchased the Wolcott mono's to power my Inner Sound Eros. The Eros are a ESL hybrid with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. The Wolcott's produce the best bass I've ever heard from the Eros. More tuneful and accurate than the bass control ... | |
| Tube amps for Maggie 3.5 or 3.6 I looked at the SF Power 3 and Wolcott mono's to power my Inner Sound Eros. The Eros are a ESL hybrid with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. The Wolcott's won hands down exhibiting better bass control than my Classe CA-300. Bottom end in spades! Thes... | |
| PS Audio Ultimate outlet Drubin: I don't believe threatening has anything to do with Stevemj posts and certainly no one must keep an open mind, though it would be nice for all concerned. Unfortunately, labeling people as "weakminded" or one's actions "insanity" is usually... | |
| PS Audio Ultimate outlet It seems like every six weeks or so some self proclaimed Wizard of Science from the Radio Shack Institute of Enlightened Electrons stumbles into the forums intent on saving us from our delusional pursuit of procuring "fancy" power cords, line cond... | |
| Stereo sounds better than 5.1? Interesting thread, but I can't buy into the premise that 5.1 sounds better than stereo. Perhaps it's because I'm use to listening to two speakers not 5.1. For me, I hear more image focus, detail and timbre correct resolution in stereo. The sounds... | |
| A bad situation Jeff: There have been a few threads here about shipping gear via UPS. UPS ground is brutal on audio equipment. To have any chance of being successful winning an insurance claim with UPS your packaging has to exceed the UPS packaging requirements. ... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System First, I would like to thank Metaphysics for starting this thread, as after reading it, I realized that I had never given this subject much thought. I've always approached the audio hobby experience as a journey. I've never thought about ratios or... | |
| Which is better: separates or receiver? For $3,000 I would definitely go with separates. AV Receivers drop in value dramatically as soon as you take them out of the box. With separates I think you'll be happier with the quality of the sound and you'll also be in a position to upgrade do... | |
| Preamp with Remote ? I agree with Craig. The Sonic Frontiers Line 3 is a superb piece. It is versatile, extremely well designed and doesn't get in the way of the music. Add NOS Amperex tubes and prepare to fall in love. I can't imagine anyone not being happy with it. | |
| To tube or not to tube... I totally agree with Onhwy61 on this one. In the right system, tubes can be a real treat and in the wrong set up it can be a real disappointment. The same can be said with solid state gear. I happen to own a tube pre amp but I purchased it because... | |
| Ringing heatsinks I must admit that I have never heard of this. Intriguing idea. I have a Classe CA-300 that I am using in stereo to power the bass woofers of my speakers. After reading you post, I tried the ping test and it seems that they do resonate. The amp sit... |
