| 2-way vs. 3-way As a recent convert to horn loudspeakers, I can state that Ditusa's claim is not ridiculous. My two way speakers consist of a custom conical horn with a 2 inch compression driver, Jbl LE 15B woofer in the JBL L-200 cabinet and an outboard active c... | |
| Amps that sounds similar or close to Lamm hybrids Madison-Fielding Is what you want. Finding it is the problem. | |
| Running a fan to cool amplifier any ill effects? Unless your amplifiers are in a confined area, you should not have to worry about heat. VAC designs their products with heat dissipation built in and normal air flow around the tubes will provide adequate cooling. Fans are not necessary and may in... | |
| What is your dream turntable? OMA Saskia with Schick tonearm and Zu Denon DL 103R. The closest I am likely to get to this dream would involve putting a slate plinth under my current SP-10 MK II. | |
| otl vs push/pull OTL means output transformerless. PP means push/pull. These are not mutually exclusive terms as far as I know. The Atmasphere amps are both. Does anyone make a single ended OTL? | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 09-04-02: MacrojackMy wife says I'm the only guy in America who paid more for his refigerator than he did for his car. I drive a 1987 Toyota Camry sedan that just turned over 200K miles and there's a Sub Zero in the kitchen.She drives a 1987 Camry... | |
| I just inherited some Lustre GST-801 tonearms? I owned one about 25 years ago. If my fading memory serves me right, the mass was mostly in the nut that screwed onto the arm post under the plinth. At the time suspended belt drive tables were all the rage and the mass of the Lustre nut was too m... | |
| Zu Definition Pro - Please comment, room/shipping Sebastian- I used Zu Def Pro for more than a year and loved them. Your room is large enough as long as you can separate the speakers about 8 feet apart or more and place them at least 10 feet away from listening position. Proximity to walls is not... | |
| Which Digital processor/equalizer ? dbx Drive Rack PA does everything you need and more. I bought mine through Amazon for $398 and paid another $92 for the matching dbx electret microphone. Google it and read about the features. You can't go wrong. | |
| Sugden A48B Check out Reference 3A or Zu for big improvement over your NHT. | |
| It's 2008, what speakers deserve recognition. Wide band horn midrange and ancillary drivers that can keep up with it is the way to go. Emerald Physics is one example of this. Oswald's Mill and Classic Audio Reproductions made strong arguments at RMAF from what I've read. Bert Doppenberg's Ori... | |
| the best music dvd video?? Talking Heads film directed by Jonathan Demme called "Stop Making Sense". It has no equal. If you are interested in a terrific movie about a group of musicians with some concert footage, try watching "The Commitments". It's Irish. It's hilarious. ... | |
| Favorite Speakers at RMAF Atmosphere - Point taken. I think your signature appearance is just what it needs to be. I like the retro look too. After all, tubes are inherently vintage. When you make solid state amps (I'm betting that never happens) you can go modern with the... | |
| Which Integrated got you off the merry go round? JRDG Capri and 102 amplifier stacked together are smaller than most integrateds. You get MM/MC phono pre as an option. You get 100 watts per channel. You get 3 inputs in addition to phono. You get very good remote. You get 2 pre-outs. You get bala... | |
| High end Audio for ladies? Check this out There is a traditionally sexist observation which states that a man will pay $2.00 for a $1.00 item he needs while a woman will pay $1.00 for a $2.00 item she doesn't need. While I have seen many examples that support this comment, I can say that ... |
