| Multichannel Preamp Well, I can only remember one point and that vaguely. It had to do with the tape monitor switch only handling 2 channels so that, when set on monitor with the input selector on the 6channel input, the other 4 channels leaked through. Also, only on... | |
| Multichannel Preamp Jeffreybehr wrote: "Absolutely wrong in spite of the 'information' published in a couple reviews. The Pre 5 is a 6-channel preamp conceived and built as such."That may be but it's hard to believe if you use it.Kal | |
| Equalization done right, experiences? I can vouch for both the Rives PARC and the z-systems RDP-1. The PARC is for low(ish) frequencies, cut-only while the RDP-1 is much more flexible. As for 'digital edge,' that's not the EQ's fault as long as you do not add unnecessary conversions. ... | |
| How do you bi-amp with tubes and solid state Same here. Get an electronic crossover with level controls.Kal | |
| Redirecting bass frequencies Plants are generally useless but I do agree with you about the RealTraps which are now in my listening room. However, the information at that website should be a guide to what to do even if you have to go elsewhere for esthetic reasons. Another us... | |
| Redirecting bass frequencies Bass is usually pressurized in the corners and that's the best place to deal with it. For guidance, read the information at:http://www.realtraps.com/info.htmKal | |
| sonic frontiers line 2 It's not really balanced but a 3-conductor cable and connector: 2 channels + ground.Kal | |
| Info on Gale Maximum Fidelity Recordings They are generally excellent. I have a couple and the only distinctions are in the selection of the music. 1977-8.Kal | |
| Recent reviews on Cyberlight IC's AFAIK, no interconnects are rated "Class A." They are either recommended or not.Kal | |
| Can this be done with good results???? Frankly, I'd buy or build a regular speaker or trade in the MGMC for the C3 with a little more bass.Kal | |
| Need Processor suggestions for 2 channel into 5 If you go with an integrated for the main/stereo setup, you can either get a pre/pro plus a 3channel power amp or an A/V receiver with pre-outs for the remaining functions and channels.Kal | |
| Using Y-adapter to duplicate preamplifier outputs I would suggest you get the Y-connectors at Radio Shack and see if they work for you. If the input impedance of the SS amp (even when off) is much lower than that of the tube amp, it will shunt most of the signal and you will get little out of the... | |
| Center speaker OR Full range as Center speaker? Krellman-I do not doubt your observations and, in fact, I am not surprised by them. Using 6! bipolar speakers is a sure way to have amorphous imaging and, more than that, using 2 together as a center-channel is going to give you less specific of t... | |
| Just a power amp, turntable and speakers? Nope. Generally, the TT needs a phono preamp and you also need a volume control somewhere. Get both in a preamp.Kal | |
| Center speaker OR Full range as Center speaker? Rysa4, you make a good statement: "But I am referring to getting a center actually designed well, (not cheaply or offhand by a non-HT focused manufacturer) and matched. A good center is not a speaker on its side and is not designed that way." Unfo... |
