| Bi-amping question.......help needed.... If neither set of amps has adjustable gain, you may have a problem matching the levels of top and bottom to get some kinda reasonable balance/linearity. This could be solved by an electronic crossover. OR you might get lucky and like the response ... | |
| Mit cable question Hi Jim,First, I should give you the disclaimer that I sell MIT cable, exclusively.Your starting point with current MIT cables might be the Shotgun S3 Proline XLR -- inexpensive, but it will sound superior to what you have now. IMHO; based on the r... | |
| Input requested Nelson Pass' designs are no more sensitive to high capacitance cables than other wide-bandwidth solid state amplifiers.Painting with a broad brush, solid state amps whose high frequency response extends well beyond 20k can become unstable when use... | |
| Input requested I think I can help you with the break-up problem. Before you change anything else, try putting the Goertz spkr cable aside and substituting -- not permanently; just for the purpose of this experiment -- some generic zip cord or $1/ft Monster or Ra... | |
| MIT Magnum M1-M3 experiences Hi,It would be helpful if you'd also mention the amp and speakers you're using. Otherwise, it would be difficult to give you informed advice.Best,Joe | |
| Recommendation Lindley/Ry Cooder Try Lindley's 1981 album, "El Ray-o X" on Asylum. Very eclectic, very entertaining, excellent recording. Produced by Jackson Brown | |
| Speaker cables for JM Lab DIVA? MIT's Ultra-Wide Bandwidth models in the Oracle Series are specifically made for amps like the Pass X Series (and Spectral, Halcro, and Goldmund)which have bandwidth out to the megahertz region. I've heard the combination of Pass, MIT Oracle and J... | |
| What early 70's rock bands had violins? Timo: Did you go to Nihilist High School also? Class of '64. Remember the school colors? -- Black and Black. | |
| What early 70's rock bands had violins? Kansas! Played the fiddle live,too! Forget "dust in the wind"-- their first three albums are classics. | |
| Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp You can help stack the deck in your favor by keeping the interconnect cable lengths SHORT. 1 or 2m is fine, but if you had to go to 15 ft of interconnect cable with this heavy of a mismatch, I'd say fuhgedabowdit. | |
| MIT cables - any differences between S1-S3 ??? New MIT Shotguns S3, S2, and S1 all use the same internal cable -- the biwires all use a similar cable -- but the networks get more sophisticated as you go up the line. The S1 will have significantly deeper, more articulate bass as compared to the... | |

Here's where to find the review:http://portalaudio.com/8382_eprint.pdfmore info and reviews at ... | |
| Bi-amp problem: SS & Tubes need your help please Two solutions to try:1. try bypassing the crossover; running the woofs full range out of the ss amp; that will tell you if the problem is in the speakers. THEN try it one-box-at-a-time; if one box is louder than two, the woofs might be cancelling ... | |
| Need help with gymnasium acoustics. This approach should make it liveable:1. get the Home Ec classes to sew colorful fabric banners, use thin polyfill batting on some of them; have staff attach them hanging from the exposed steel ceiling joists via fabric tabs. Alternate a 2 or 3 ft... | |
