| Retro Hi End Trivia Question Man, I just read this thread from End-2-end. Great stuff and stories.I remember lusting after better stereo when I was a kid. The house Zenith just didn't get it done, even with the 2g tonearm! I finally sold my RSL3600s (So Cal House brand, JBL43... | |
| Buzz trnasmitted to speakers from amplifer If Thorman is correct, you can test with a decent power conditioner. BORROW one for test. Can you supply more info? Age of amp? Other stuff on the circuit? (fridge?, aquarium pumps/filters?) Tube or SS amp?Does the ll Buzz get louder when you turn... | |
| Rotel RB 1070 from Elite Receiver Big Difference? The ONLY hangup with the RB-1070 is no factory 4ohm rating.8ohm, sure and 'bridged' also, but no 4ohm rating.It is 130x2@8 and (can't recall) 330 or 360 bridged/mono.That being said, unless the Polks are really awful loads, you should be OK. The R... | |
| Adding a subwoofer to a 2 channel amp I, too have Maggie/HSU setup. Absolutely seamless with very musical bass. My Listening room is about 4000ft3 and the VTF2mk3 fills the bill. Not bad for flicks, either. | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? I have the PSAudio GCC250, also an ICE based product. The difference here is the 'gain cell' inputs, the claim being it is now a variable gain amplifier, not fixed gain with an attenuated input. My Magnepan 1.6s seem perfectly happy. I believe the... | |
| Looking for a small bedroom amp http://6moons.com/audioreviews/sonicimpact2/t2.htmlOne of the T-amps?I know it doesn't cost enough, but fill the rest of your requirements. | |
| Magnepan 3.6 ship to overseas My 1.6's came Double Boxed. I discarded the outer box.That being said, have some bulletproof crates made to contain the boxes. | |
| Toslink Connection Flakey E-Pray? | |
| How can you not have multichannel system Music recorded for 5.1 or more by recording engineers who understand the media will sound best.Rechanneled stereo will sound like colorized movies look. If I can ever build a HT room, it will be for movie/sound in 5.1 or better. My current room wo... | |
| Cleaner for volume control WD-40? on contacts?I'd as soon do that as use Armor All on a record. HEY, I DID use Armor All on a record! ONCE. 30 yrs ago.Absolutely NO surface noise, a ruined stylus (gunk) and a new replacement disk. | |
| Subs & Group Delay Unless you listen almost exclusively to Baroque Organ, I can't imagine much 20hz content. For HT use, where the 'musical' properties of a sub are.....less needed......it may even be a non-starter when listening to 'effects'.Also, if Crossed-over l... | |
| will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio Yes, but I suspect without ever having done it, that you can 'oversub' a room. How small is a 'small listening room'? CUBIC FEET counts.Just for reference, check out HSU Research site which has a 'recommended sub' size chart based on room size. Th... | |
| Power conditioner/protection question Man, if I was born RICH instead of just GOOD LOOKING!!!I'd no more run my system, compromised or not, without some form of protection than I would start on a cross country car trip without a good spare!On Balance, I'd say I am in plus territory. M... | |
| Safe to replace fast blow fuse with slow? Buss or LittleFuse also makes a 'faster' blo fuse. My Question: could you replace standard fuse with a Slo-Blo of lesser rating? Say a 4amp std with a 3amp slo? | |
| Updating a 1991 Sony ES receiver Even if you purchase an HT receiver in your proposed price range, you can always add an external phono preamp later. |
