| Can You Get 1,000 WPC Out Of Regular Wall Socket? "Who the he*l would want or need that much power and for what purpose???"Bi, with the right speakers that can use it, you'd be surprised! Especially for lifelike volumes and dynamics with large, lower efficiency, full range speakers in larger room... | |
| Can You Get 1,000 WPC Out Of Regular Wall Socket? My 500 w/ch BEl Canto ref1000m Class D amps are on a regular home circuit. The only time they trip the breaker is if I power them both up at the same time. That does it every time! They have never tripped the breaker while playing, and I go pretty... | |
| Best High Efficiency Speakers for full bass tone I've heard the large Classic Audio Reproductions models that I belive are fairly Hi Eff and seem to do it all very well. Similar in size, cost and retro styling to the large Tannoys. | |
| Machina Dynamica MD makes me feel ronery. Why am I so F---- stupid? | |
| Recording quality by decade Nature of recordings then and now is similar to movies. Used to be simpler, more organic, and natural in many ways. The trend, with some exceptions, has been towards more complex. varied, and "processed". Think Cinemascope versus CGI. The good new... | |
| Need help with ARC sp16 and tubes Tobes, that's good to know.My current tubes came from ARC about a year back. They shipped me 6 tubes, 1 special low noise (more expensive) for slot 1, which is the one most towards the rear of the three phono tubes to the right looking in from the... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "It's loud, but we can talk to each other without really raising our voices."That's a very good omen!!! | |
| Recording quality by decade a lot of good hendrix recordings are very tricky to get to sound good but once it does.......... | |
| Getting overtone in a pair of bookshelf speaker. Glad to hear. Good luck! | |
| Need help with ARC sp16 and tubes OK, problem solved. It was phono section tube slot 3 gone bad. Replaced that with a spare I have and back in business. Luckily it was not phono slot 1 which takes a more expensive very low noise tube in order to keep things quiet that is harder to... | |
| What causes some transports to oscillate? I've had it happen on occasion with drives on some older laptops with some CDs, never on a CD player. I'd attribute it to a combo of drives and disks that are not manufactured within certain common modern quality assurance tolerances, in other wor... | |
| Whats my weak link? In addition to what Almarg said, see if your buddy will let you try his power conditioner. Plug source gear and pre-amp into it, not power amp. I suspect some power conditioning might make an improvement. Need not be expensive (unless for a power ... | |
| Machina Dynamica Tm,Not just a bell, a QUANTUM TEMPLE BELL!!!!!!!!!!Get with the program!QUANTUM + TEMPLE gotta = TECHNO_SPIRITUAL HEAVEN!!!!:^) | |
| What is a better route, tube or SS preamp? If you go the tube pre-amp route, newer ARC pre-amps are fine choices for all kinds of music, including rock and metal. I would be cautious with some tube pre-amps though especially for this kind of music. I use an sp16 with Class D amplifiers. It... | |
| Whats my weak link? YOur room probably has different acoustics than the other guys. Have you played with speaker placement and orientation to get them locked into your room? Gotta do that first to get a good baseline from which to judge what aspect of the sound, if a... |
