| Window Treatments to Remove reflected sound No set blinds will have any effect below mid-frequencies and exactly where they will change from dispersing the audio to reflecting it is somewhat unpredictable. The glass is transparent to bass and reflective of HF so, in order to have a nearly e... | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K First, I do not think you can feed the front L/R directly to the xDs amp since you would not have a volume control for those channels.Second, if you are using only the analog outs, the settings for S/PDIF (the digital output) are irrelevant.Third,... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? OK. The referred to manual from Eminent Tech distinguishes between different drive systems and further distinguishes a ribbon as having its magnetic polarity across the surface of its diaphragm rather than normal to it. Nonetheless, electrostatic ... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? "First of all, Apogee are not planars. They are ribbons.""As noted above, the Apogees (and Maggie IIIa's) are ribbons, and not planars."Would any one like to explain this distinction? A ribbon is a planar film driven in a particular way, afaik.Kal | |

| Cables for surround Under carpet No reason you should be getting feedback unless something is defective. In any case, I use Nordost under the carpet.Kal | |
| Why do amp A-B switch-boxes have a watt rating? Jameswei is correct. However, let me add that inadequately rated wire and contacts will also represent a higher series resistance than larger ones, so you might expect some compromise in performance even if you do not get to meltdown conditions.Kal | |
| Why do amp A-B switch-boxes have a watt rating? "The bigger the wire, the more current it can carry."Right. The same can be said for the switch contacts.Kal | |
| What are differences between Dual 301/401? I think, in this context, you probably mean Garrard 301/401.Kal | |
| Benefit of Tri or Quad Wire compared to Bi wire Thanks. Now, I recall those room dividers. ;-)Kal | |
| Benefit of Tri or Quad Wire compared to Bi wire Well, I did miss your reference to "big B&W800's" but I also tried to Google them and could find no references. Can you provide one?Kal | |
| Benefit of Tri or Quad Wire compared to Bi wire Quad-wired? I saw only 4 speaker terminals on the N800s I had making bi-wiring the maximum possible.Bi-amped and quad-wired? Seems more than compulsive.Kal | |
| SME Model 10 How much should I spend on speakers? "Would it be odd to see a SME Model 10 with Revel M20s and a B15 as speakers?"Odd. That only depends on your perceptions. If you like the way that sounds and it fits your life-style, why spend more money?Kal | |
| balanced vs unbalanced 1. Rarely but possible.2. Does the amp have a switch to select between the two inputs? If not, you probably need the jumper.Kal | |
| Strategy and Components Advice Needed 1. That's what it is doing. It is the front channels for HT.2. Line-level preamp outputs.Kal |
