| Having a bad experience with Ridge Street Audio... MWilson004, has your issue been resolved? IS RSAD still in business? | |
| Amplifier's age I think most folks are just leery of buying older equipment because they don't know how well it has been maintained. It's just like buying an older car. Yes, there are great sounding older amps, but some folks fear buying one and having to replace... | |
| Dear Moderator I thought it was funny. I loved the movie, and I don't like many movies. | |
| Help me decide, please Well I've owned a BAT VK-600SE and a pair of Clayton Audio M100 monoblock amps. If I were choosing, I'd go with the M-300's. Wilson Shen has that *magic* touch, similar to Stan Klyne. A way to make solid state sound musical, like tubes. The only m... | |
| Volume? I agree with Lloydc, what is the problem? Most volume knobs are at their peak performance between the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock position. So if you happy with the volume with the knob at 12 o'clock, everything is wonderful.Also, some albums are rec... | |
| Small difference equating to a big difference? Wait a cotton-picking minute B_limo....are you trying to tell me that you hear sonic differences between cables????Wait right here, I'll go round up Rok2id, Irvrobinson and the rest of the cable police to read you the riot act.You didn't perform a... | |
| RS5s - upper or lower connections? If the manual states no difference then it does not matter. Some speakers, like mine, the crossover is designed so that the signal should come in through the lower inputs. It depends on the design of the speaker and the crossover. So if your manua... | |
| VPI cartridge install f/phase inverting pre Mofimadness, there is another part of the Cary manual that claims that only the line section inverts polarity. The manual is very confusing, so I called the Cary technical service. The engineers (two of them) went to the schematic and verified tha... | |
| So what's a good preamp? I see a Joule Electra LA 150 mk II for sale for $1995. A little above your price range, but maybe you can talk the price down a little. | |
| VPI cartridge install f/phase inverting pre My Cary SLP-98P F1 has a built in phono stage. The phono stage is non-inverting, the line stage IS inverting. My CDP's output is also inverted, so I invert the output of my cartridge, and run my speaker cables non-inverted. | |
| Will Push-Pull Triode amp 20-25 WPC work? Thanks Springbok10. Why don't you try your 30 wpc Thor amps upstairs? Then you will know for sure. | |
| Will Push-Pull Triode amp 20-25 WPC work? I would say yes, it would work. Your speakers are not very efficient, but you have a small room and you listen at quiet to moderate levels, so it should work. 1 watt will put you at 87 dB 1 meter from your speakers, which is certainly moderate SPL... | |
| Stealth Hybrid MLT model 2002 and 2006 This link should answer your questions. If not, try contacting Serguei Timachev. | |
| So what's a good preamp? Kbuzz,That was a very generous offer. :)04-02-13: DhcodI actually got the chance to hear the Mk1 yesterday in my system. It was a little tube-ey if that makes sense, sort of thick around the middle and a little rolled off the top.I note that you a... | |
| Klyne 6PE: comments ? 04-03-13: Daniele_g"They are mutually exclusive,..."mmm.... I disagree ;)I know many who do. Some feel that you can have it all. In over 35 years of listening, I've yet to hear the yin and the yang extremes in one system. I've heard many systems w... |
