| do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals? i use copies in the car where it makes no difference to preserve my originals. | |
| Phono Preamp Vs. Transformer for Moving Coil Any inductive device will "eat" your bass.In ideal case I'd aim to have phonostage with sufficient transformerless gain. | |
| Got the itch again "real bad" for tube mono blocks Try VTL MB125 or MB100.Very powerfull monos. 'Have them spare.Drop me a note... | |
| Why Purchase used tubes? My experience:Bought new 6CA7 power tubz directly from ebay seller new matched quads turned out $<8/piece over 3 yrs ago.Often run amps 24hrs during weekends and once-in-a-while check the bias... Still hasn't change a notch!Still noise-free!Sti... | |
| Integrated amp reccomendations I'd get either used Plinius 8200 or used Krell KAV300i. They both sold in $1300+- range and great step-up from NAD.Another option is to try Portal Panache integrated amp. | |
| If you haven't tried them, you need to... usually i only make sure that CD i buy has the artist or the band i love. as to hdcd sometimes there could be red-book being recorded better than hdcd. | |
| Good speakers less efficient? The efficiency and impedance of the most popular dynamic speakers solely depend on Faraday's Law i.e. on the driver itself.The impedance of the coil rises with the freequency growth Z=wLFor DC current the coil impedance is zero(w=0)or same may app... | |
| Improvement? add few bucks and get krell kav300i integrated for the radical improvement or plinius 8200. | |
| Speaker Cable Termination Etran,I've built up and serviced tons of the circuits you're talking about.When I connect conductors and circuit elements I ensure the contact of the conductors but not through the solder bubble no matter how nice it looks.The solder must secure j... | |
| Speaker Cable Termination Arni,applying a silver solder to the ends of the bare wires makes no sencei since it decreases the contact conductivity.The unit resistance of the solder is more than several times higher than any conventional conductor even with the silver content. | |
| Speaker Cable Termination I prefere bare wires. It's not realy a brainer to maintain. Just clean them once in a while with the contact cleaner. The crimped termination can also oxidize with time and will need much larger effort to clean. | |

| Front vs. Rear Port Duke spells the truth.The whole idea of rear port is to isolate woofer resonance. | |
