| what else do i need to improve sonic performance? I agree with Philjolet. Just one word of advice...components with a low current draw such as a preamp do not need the heaviest gauge PCs.For example, Pangea sells the AC-9 for amps and the AC-14 for preamps, CDPs, etc. I also suggest you research ... | |
| Advice on Equipment Upgrade Yeah, you have a small room, but I think your phono preamp is a weak link...Upgrade. As far as the small size of the room, why not turn off the subwoofer for a while and see how things sound. I think the sub should be out of the system while you'r... | |
| Admiral Television? Martykl ...sounds like your not giving up on this. | |
| Admiral Television? I said it was a TV thinking maybe Todd Rundgren was doing some sampling with it. The name in the credits is in quotes. | |
| Admiral Television? Maybe it's an old TV made by the Admiral Company. They made early radios and TVs.??? | |
| Looking for a GREAT preamp under $2000...thoughts? I've got one last comment. You've got the amps you wanted, you have some EXCELLENT speakers, now take a little time to audition some tube pre's. There are excellent recommendations in the above comments. The point is to get the most out of those G... | |
| Looking for a GREAT preamp under $2000...thoughts? One point I want to make is that you can change the timbre of a tube preamp. Rolling in some NOS tubes would make for an open, lush sound. Yes, you will need to spend some time auditioning the AR and the Metis, but it might be worth it. | |
| How Black is Your Background? Mapman, didn't mean to imply cables are adding hiss or noise. I meant the system as a whole. So I'm saying cables are not adding anything, just transfering the signal from the source. Of course some cables "colour" the sound.(and some people want ... | |
| Looking for a GREAT preamp under $2000...thoughts? The Rogue Perseus can be had for about $1800 new. It uses (2) 12AU7 tubes (very low noise). A very neutral, open sounding preamp with wide soundstage. Not trying to sell you one, just saying with your budget you can afford tubes. | |
| How Black is Your Background? All of the above are good answers and yes it is a buzz word used by the manufacturers. I'll give you the simple answer as the term black is used in my work in the film/video biz. We all know the term "fade to black"... there is video black and au... | |
| 10 gage electrical wire for speaker cables? Forgot... Nsgarch states an important point regarding wires shorting out your amp. Also if the 2 bare ends of the wire touch. | |
| 10 gage electrical wire for speaker cables? It wont harm anything, but I suggest looking thru the archives using keyword "zip cord" and you will find many opinions on the subject of electrical wire for amp to speakers. IMO, you will find much better speaker cables at Blue Jeans Cable as Jh... | |
| I would advise to avoid amazon for vinyl purchases Never ordered LPs from amazon, although I have some on my wishlist. Did your records come from private vendors or from an Amazon fulfillment center? Also, were these new LPs in shrinkwrap (causing them them to be warped?) | |
| building the best system I can? funny thing.. unsound posted at the same time as I did. | |
| building the best system I can? I think UnSound is saying that the first move is to match the speakers with an amp that will provide great synergy. I would agree that in a system you start with amp and speakers, after that add the preamp. I have never heard paradigm studio 20's,... |
