| Speaker match for 75 watt Tenor amps This is the most stupid thread I've seen on this forum.The most important component is the speakers.Unless the Tenor amps are perfect, you should select a speaker which best fits your listening room and musicialtaste, and then pick an amp which ca... | |
| Humming noise in speakers It's better to float the ground on your power amp andleave the preamp/source components grounded.Also, check and sure your IC cable connectors fit tight. | |
| Velodyne ULD-18 or Audio PHysic Rhea sub.... Mike- The Epiks were circa 1984, before I moved to Maui.Aloha. | |
| Velodyne ULD-18 or Audio PHysic Rhea sub.... Just Mike- "Uncle" is a term used here in Hawaii for those who share their mana'o(knowledge or stories) with others.Ezmeralda11- "slow and non-musical were Just Mike's terms notmine. At a 60 hz crossover point and levels correctly set, the Velodyn... | |
| Velodyne ULD-18 or Audio PHysic Rhea sub.... I have a ULD Series II 18, which crosses over to my BudgeKhorus speakers at 60 hz. It does not sound slow or on-musical. The standard crossover point of 100 hz is too high for hiendspeakers, and may account for Uncle Mike's poor impression.A varia... | |
| Bright room, help Don't do anything to your room until you've found the rightposition for your speakers(?).If you can get them well out into the room, and angled toward your listening postion, you might not need any damping material. See the Cardas website for room... | |
| NOS Tubes make a Huge difference Tbg- you're saying there no diffence going from a 6550 toa KT-90 or a Svetlana EL-34 to a Mullard EL-34? | |
| The Best Amplifier Ever ? I suggest you all stop reading Stereophile.Their rating system means nothing.As posted above, at the recent audio show the room using$9K tube amps got more votes than the room with the $25K Halcros.I'll bet as soon as Stereophile tests the new $6K... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Very interesting product.I haven't heard or seen it, but I'm sure most of the magicyou folks are hearing is the octal base 6SN7s in the linestage. MFA used these and their mil spec counter part the 5692 in their preamps.Interesting that the design... | |
| Where to find info on the acclaimed parasound JC-1 Rcrump- Nice picture. Don't the mini blinds rattle?Does the cat hair on the heat shinks enhanse the cooling or does it just make the room smell like pussy?Aloha. | |
| Any one heard the Parasound JC-1 Mono Amps? Mr. Crump- Mahalo for your input, but it seems that Parasound hasn't sent the JC-1s out to very many dealers.Has there been a hold up on the production units?Also, has anyone out there heard these "hot rods" other than Robert?Aloha. | |
| Verity Parsifals vs 1st series Talon KhorusX Jtinn- I'm sure Tim is a great guy. I'd rather not post details of the mods, since other Khorus owners without tech skill maybe tempted to try them and damage their speakers. The mods eliminate the upper mid-range edge and added to the overall sen... | |
| Verity Parsifals vs 1st series Talon KhorusX Tireguy- I'm glad you find me funny.No, I don't know Jtinn. Are you one of Jtinn's customers or just an idiot as you've posted above.My comment was based on Jtinn's posted systemwhich didn't show an analog input until today. Since it's now obvious... | |
| Verity Parsifals vs 1st series Talon KhorusX Jtinn- One more thought, after looking at your system- While I respect your opinion, I doubt that anyone without an analog input can properly evaluate the merits of a music reproduction system.Tube amps/output stages and fancy hi end cables can't ... | |
| Verity Parsifals vs 1st series Talon KhorusX Jtinn- Mahalo for your comments. I still feel the original pre-Talon Khorus to be a great speaker. I recently updated some parts in mine and added a powered sub, coming in at 50 hz. Performance is so good, that Ican't justify an upgrade to the $16... |
