| New cart for under 1K Johnnyb53,Well said about tweeter types. I've been hearing great things about the GoldenEar speakers but have not yet auditioned them. Another tweeter type that does not have the resonant problems of a dome are the dual ring radiator types. They a... | |
| I have owned a Nakamichi PA7 amp. How would you IMO Not much diff between PA7 and HCA2200. The Nak is a tad more detailed, the Parasound a bit warmer and looser in the bass. The Halo A23 series would be a step up though. | |
| New cart for under 1K Do you have a price range in mind for new speakers or are you just getting ideas? Are you open to used as well as new?What type of music do you listen to? Do you listen loud? What other speakers have you heard that you liked? Is there anything oth... | |
| New cart for under 1K "It might also be helped with a well-placed capacitor or resistor in the crossover to roll off the highs a bit."Actually it would be an inductor in series with the tweeter with a resistor in parallel with the inductor. However it will not change t... | |
| New cart for under 1K Johnnyb53, You state that "Spitty sibilants are the first sign the treble isn't right. In addition to an emphasis at that frequency range, it could also be tweeter overshoot or ringing." Agreed but ringing and resonant peak are the same thing.I ag... | |
| New cart for under 1K Most dome tweeters have the same problem in that the top of the dome resonates at the upper end of the audio band that can add an edginess or sizzlly quality to the highs. You will notice that your tweeters have a lens covering the dome of the twe... | |
| New cart for under 1K Let's simplify if possible. Do you have any other sources. If so and they are also "harsh" in the highs than it is somewhere else in your system and I agree with those that you need to change out something other than your cartridge. (Probably your... | |
| tape monitor switch The tape monitor button is for listening or monitoring the sound coming from the tape deck. Unless there is a record out button or selector on your preamp the tape out jacks will supply a non volume controlled version of whatever the pre amp is ou... | |
| Adcom Amplifier Speaker Protection Some speaker makers do have some form of protection built in but most seem to rely on the amp maker to shut down the outputs if there is a massive fault in the amp. | |
| Velodyne MiniVee hook up Mini to RCA's. Then to sub RCA input. Then sub RCA output to Focal's. You may have to adapt the RCA's back to a mini plug in the last step. | |
| Adcom Amplifier Speaker Protection Not countless speakers as Adcoms in general are reliable amps. Also when an amp fails it does not always do so in a way that would take the speakers with it but in those few times that it does its adding injury to insult. You could give yourself s... | |
| Problem with Turntable leveling? Check your anti skate setting. | |
| Which adcom sounds best? IMO the preamps are the weekest component although the GFP750 came close to getting the most out of the amps. A lot less dark and brittle sounding. | |
| Help using A/V receiver to cntrl proj screen motor I assume that you want to control your screen up/down with turning your Pioneer on/off. If so you will need any 110v A/C to 12v DC adapter. plug it into the switched outlet on the back of the PIO and hook up the other end to the screen as directed... | |
| B&W 803D and Parasound Also it may not be all of the 2250's problem. What is the rest of your system? I have installed lots of Parsounds and most of there sin's are of ommision. So if you are going to upgrade one piece at a time IMO it is best to track down the weekest ... |
