| Class D vs Class A Education I just sold my Spectron Musician III Mk 2 amp (Class D) and bought a used Pass XA30.5 (Class A).These two are the best I've had in my system, and I've had a few high-end amps before these (Krell, Karan and Burmester).If you're leaning towards a Cl... | |
| Monitors for a small room - please help I will ask you one more time to please consider the Caravelles from Star Sound Technology.Here's a pre-review: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/starsound/caravelle.htmlThe reason I'm suggesting these speakers is that they're $5000.00 new and now... | |
| Monitors for a small room - please help I personally believe that you would really, really enjoy these speakers: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrmoni&1291325518&/Star-Sound-Technology-CaravellI have a pair that I'm using in my 10' x 12.5' room.Chuck | |
| Maggie 1.7's? I think that they're fantastic and can't be beaten for the money, if you have a big enough room so that they can breathe. | |
| Do power cords make an audible difference? While I agree with what DrDennis says, I think that it applies to more subtle differences. You have to remember that when you power down your components and then power them back up, some components take some time to get back to their optimum inter... | |
| Should I be using the grounding terminal? Does your integrated have a phono section? If it does, the ground terminal is usually meant for the turntable ground. | |
| How Important is Dynamic Headroom? Very significant, think of it in this senario: you are entering a freeway where you need to get up to 70 miles an hour as quickly as possible so that you can merge into traffic without having someone ram you in the rear, or you have to accelerate ... | |
| Just a stinkin fuse... Tim,Yes, I still have my Star Sound speakers, the Harmonic Precision Caravelles. It's sad that very few people know how good they are.They say the secret behind them is the molded cabinet. They aren't the first, the seashell B&W Nautilus has o... | |
| Just a stinkin fuse... Tim,I'm glad that it worked like that for you.I think it's interesting that with all of the hundreds and thousands we've spent trying different pieces of equipment, that the relatively small cost of these fuses are nothing in the grand scheme of t... | |
| This is no joke. This is what the Totem Beaks, HRS Damping Plates, etc. do, help stablize the cabinet vibrating and/or to keep it from moving.http://www.magnan.com/tweaks/componentsupport.htmlChuck | |
| Do Spectron Amps have faulty switching modulators? Scp,On a side note, what did you mean that we are being 'ID'?Chuck | |
| Dynaudio C1, why so expensive? George,Yes, I'm always on the lookout for something better, but as much as I liked the C1's, my Caravelle's were better to me.Just as I wouldn't sell my B&W Silver Signature's for the B&W 802D's, but I sold them for the Caravelle's.Chuck | |
| Dynaudio C1, why so expensive? Matro5,I was trying to be helpful. My second post was asking what Richard was wanting to know. Was he questioning the price because $7000.00 is expensive or because he was looking for another speaker.Dynaudio speakers are very, very good speakers.... | |
| Dynaudio C1, why so expensive? Richard,I don't know if you asked this question about the C1's because you are curious about the price or looking for new speakers.After I heard the Caravelles over a number of months five years ago, I sold my B&W Silver Signatures and bought ... | |
| Dynaudio C1, why so expensive? They're very good speakers. But IMO my speakers, the Harmonic Precision Caravelles, the source of many heated Audiogon forums posts, are better. I've personally compared them a number of times at different dealers when I was auditioning other comp... |
