| Any benefit from" same brand" amp/pre-amp?? 'd' amps may be said to have problems with hi frequencies, especially with low impedance loads...at those frequencies. The output zobel is the cause.Look up the info on the top B&O ASP 1000 module as used by Bel Canto and many others. http://w... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Wow, Map,That would appear to be an awful space. Headphones, anyone?I had some MG-1s in a 10x10 room with an 8' flat ceiling. now THAT was terrible. I had to swap the speakers L/R (they are marked) to make is sound right. | |
| How do I know if iTunes files are all 'lossless'? I put ALL my cd's to Itunes as ALAC. Than I make a 2 playlists...one of the lossless files for wireless streaming to the stereo / DAC and a copy into an MP3-160 playlist for car / pod. | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? OR, better stillAn amp that produces 200 watts into all sorts of wacky loads regardless of impedance OROne of those 'double up' amps that fades when confronted with any but a pure resistive load? | |
| McIntosh MC352 lamp replacement Lamps that run hot do not like to be touched with bare hands. Oils / Salts from the fingers when heated can actually cause a lamp to burn out more quickly.In the past when I changed hi-pressure mercury vapor lamps, I wore latex or vinyl gloves and... | |
| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? Agc, I know what you mean.......The Leap, though, to me is just so darn comfortable. The Leap Worklounge is nearly 3000$ and the Siento is 2000$ Both are perhaps a little.....industrial....looking. But just my Opinion, the comfort part trumps look... | |
| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? If I had the loot, I'd buy a Steelcase 'Leap'. for a tick over 800$, this is by far the most comfortable chair I've ever test-sat.You can also get it with an optional headrest and footstool as a lounge type chair.It's like sitting in a hand. | |
| Maybe Apple TV will allow bit perfect streaming so BINGO!Does anyone know how to fix the AE jitter problem. Better PS / Caps? Junk it out and start over? | |
| Clarity MR caps for external crossover? OH! one other thing. Many online inductor calculators exist. Some allow for more changes in dimensions than others. All can use any wire gauge.My inductors for my Magnepan 1.6s is an aircore near-duplicate of the iron core stock. New is 14 ga. and... | |
| Clarity MR caps for external crossover? Does Tannoy make there own drivers? Do they use SEAS or Dynaudio?I like the idea of comparing 2 complete crossovers......You can than basically A/B them and see which is superior.Going at this piecemeal may drive even a stable person crazy. | |
| Maybe Apple TV will allow bit perfect streaming so Does a similar feedback site exist for Airport Express?I'd like to know what I could do to fix the jitter problem. | |
| Clarity MR caps for external crossover? I'll get ZERO traction with this, but you may want to look into improving the inductor(s) in the bass circuit. This has the greatest need for power handling and may benefit from air cores. Stock inductors are probably iron/laminated/ferite cored. ... | |
| stupid question about sources, amps, and loudness Is anyone going to mention potentiometer taper?Linear or log, for example?Want more vol control range? Get a different taper pot. | |
| Clarity MR caps for external crossover? http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.htmlAn EXTENSIVE list of caps and thumbnail review of each. Name your price: name your quality level: Take a chance!Some combos with bypass caps are listed and given good marks.Some of the downline Clarity cap... | |
