| Advice on new cables I kind of agree with Tom6897, but if you have the time and interest why not contact one of those cable library companies? They will keep sending you cables to try until you find on that you like. | |
| Looking to change my amp, need help? Oh, I also forgot to tell you that you could hook up a sub using speaker level inputs. I do it and it works fine. With such a high impedance the Cary SLI-80 doesn't even know it's there sipping a little juice. Kind of like a fly in your soup. | |
| Looking to change my amp, need help? It depends on your speakers. My Montana XP uses 7 drivers and is 4 Ohms. You would think the Wyred would be a perfect match, but compared to a Cary SLI-80 and a Wyred ST-1000 and STP-SE preamp I prefered the Cary. The Wyred combo was excellent in ... | |
| Possible impedance matching issue with subwoofer? Thanks Al for taking the time to write such an informing response. In my case I noticed a distinct reduction of the sparkle in the highs. So I got a much better sound using the buffer, then I just concluded that it's that impedence issue that I ha... | |
| Pilnius SA-103 vs. Modwright KWA 150SE Thanks guys,I'm contemplating a new amp, and while I prefer the tube amps sound I was interested in the convienence of solid state plus some of the ss attributes are superior to tubes as well. So I am hunting for the elusive "perfect amp". I know.... | |
| Possible impedance matching issue with subwoofer? First off, I must say that Al definately knows more about electronics/stereos than me from my reading of these forums for so long. So with a bit of confusion I am asking - "Why aren't we seeing this the same way?" This is what I think:A preamp to ... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? I'm convinced. Send the demonly QOL back, or better yet throw it on a bonfire. Oh wait... todays kids don't even have normal ears. They have big holes, or spikes in them. Maybe a QOL is just what they need. I'm not sure now... I will write my cong... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? Preale: Like someone said earlier.. "stereo is also just an effect". That's so true, you have 2 speakers trying to create the illusion of the room. So now the QOL is also an effect, and apparently doing a nice job by adding to the 2 channel setup.... | |
| Possible impedance matching issue with subwoofer? If you hook the sub up in parallel to the preamp you will go from an output to input impedance ratio of 94 to only 4. I feel that will certainly result in high frequency sparkle loss. You should look into a buffer between the preamp and sub for th... | |
| Possible impedance matching issue with subwoofer? Input impedance is stated to be 20K so the preamp sees 20K to the sub and whatever ?? to the amp, but with both in paralell if the amp was 20k as well then the overall input imp. would be only 10k and that could affect freq. response on both the s... | |
| Pilnius SA-103 vs. Modwright KWA 150SE Ok... I'll start this off then.I have never heard either. I was interested in members opinions, but it seems no one else is. | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? The Pass XA30.5 is my choice, but the Modwright will operate a lot cooler and also sound nice. The Parasound monos are huge and get warm plus do you need that much power? The Pass X250.5 is good up to the 15 watt Class A rating, but then transitio... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I don't have one, let alone two of them. I would think one of these dealers could do this. I also don't see the risk of "frying" anything by hooking up two line level devices, that reportably have no gain, in series. But, you never know, so whoeve... | |
| Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise At first glance I thought this post was about cosmic rays and shielding with foil hats, but to my surprise and immediate realization, I have a noisey frige too! So thank you, and I am gonna get some material as well to isolate the darn thing. | |
| Music Servers-Why so few? The people at Auraliti might not be able to respond to all questions, but the PK90 is a fantastic device that removes all the settings and guesswork from a computer based setup. I have had mine running since September and I love it. It's a small b... |
