| Any ECM fans here? Thanks for the Jazz Times link. These were great years for Pat Metheny music.I'm listening to the remasters and guess what... compression. To my ears they were trying to remove the tape hiss and went too heavy.According to the article, they used 1... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Squeek_king, I see they make a short footer, but it's more than I want to spend. Thanks. | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? @t_ramey EL84's...Nice amp. I am looking for more detail and realism from my preamp. It's a choke point in my system, all other components have been successfully treated with footers and platforms.The limiting factor with the pre is I only have ro... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? @jriggy yes, it proves YMMV. I'm looking for lively. Thanks for the thoughtful reply. | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? @jriggy I'd like to remove the Herbies and try the EVP's under my preamp. Did you find they were more effective on heavy components? My Audio Note is only about 20 lbs. I tried Myrtle wood blocks and there was a major improvement over Herbies, fas... | |
| Any ECM fans here? I love the ECM sound. Not very familiar with their classical, but I have many of their jazz albums. Lots of Pat Metheny starting in the 70’s.And I loved when Pat said, please don’t play my albums on smooth jazz radio.I’ve always preferred the soun... | |
| Power Conditioner Cables @hickamore,The Brickwall power conditioner/surge protector is an affordable highly effective unit if you want to move up from the Pangea. Lowers the noise floor, I used it for all sources and a small amp. My high current amp sounded better plugged... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? @georgehifi,Get an amp like I said for your Aerial 7T’s and you’ll be happy. Your 7T at 84db and 4ohm "nominal" you need 100w-8ohm and close to 200w into 4ohms because you can bet they dive to 3ohm or less with epdr somewhere. The OP's new speaker... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? @atmasphere Thanks, Ralph. Both amps listed will voltage drive the OP's speakers, but when said amps don't list separate power specs for 4ohm and 8ohm, it's doubtful that they double down their power rating. Yes? | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? My speakers are 4 ohm speakers.What speakers do you own; brand and name of model?The most important detail in determining amount of power to drive a speaker is impedance. And the way to research a speaker is to view the impedance curve which shows... | |
| Power Conditioner Cables OP, I don’t see a Quattro Premier listed on Google, who is the manufacturer? I’d like to know the type of conditioning you’re using and desire as replacement; eg, active, passive, power strip with filtering. | |
| Power Conditioner Cables What power conditioner are you using? And yes, installing a high quality aftermarket PC on a conditioner should make a very audible improvement.The gauge of the cable depends on the type and size of the power conditioner and the components being u... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Herbies Tenderfeet are a good cost-effective footer.I've replaced my Herbies with DH Cones. They are ceramic and sit under the component with the point facing down onto a hardwood platform such as maple. They do not colour the sound. | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Agree. Sorbothane absorbs vibration but softens the sound. Also can leave a residue under a hot component. | |
| purchasing US made speakers Devore. Characteristics of the Gibbon line are very good detail and realism in the mids, highs are extended and super smooth. Deep, layered imaging.Orangutan speakers have high sensitivity and present a more immediate sound. Very lively and realis... |
