| mcintosh MC 7270 or mc 7200 Woah, 200-270 wpc into Khorns! Good grief I have a 6 WPC OTL amp with these speakers in a fairly large room and anything over 10:00 on my volume control (with CD's, vinyl anything over 12:00) will make my ears bleed. Am I missing something here, t... | |
| Tube Monoblocks for heavy music on Khorns I have tried many amps with my Khorns and ended up with a custom 6 wpc OTL amp. I can't believe how good this combo is with plenty of power AND bass for my 23'x24' room (with a vaulted ceiling). Drop me an email if you would like to know more abou... | |
| Best day of work ever... Awesome! now treat that coworker to a nice lunch and make his day. | |
| Turntable leveling... As mentioned above, level the table, not the cabinet. Leveling the cabinet will more than likely not provide good results for a level TT. | |
| MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else? Polk432I have not cleaned mine yet. You bring up a good point though. I thought I remember Yip having specific directions about cleaning it, but I can't remember what it was. | |
| MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else? Well, you got me curious so I just looked at mine and guess what? It is also that dirty brown color. Now I don't really remember what it looked like new but I purchased mine about the same time- 1-1/2 to 2 years ago. I wonder if a bad batch went o... | |
| What I learned on Audiogon This Year That this is a great site if you want to know more about motor oil, toothpaste and jeans. | |
| Something Stinks Yes, I understand that I should not use it, and I have not since the smell occured. Well I just opened the top cover of my CD player and isolated where the burnt smell is coming from. There are small heat fins (maybe 3x4) with some internal el... | |
| Is there better amp for bass then Cary Rocket 88 +3 for the sub(s). I have the Cary 808 Rocket 88 R version and do use a sub as well. I'm not sure if it's the amp or my speakers but am very satisfied with the results with the sub. A very nice feature is being able to control the sub volume. | |
| How a turntable is like a gym membership Nice going guy's. I just got back into vinyl some two and a half years ago now your all bailing on me! Seriously, I really enjoy the extra work involved in vinyl and I think the results really pay off. Perhaps someday I will get tierd of it too, b... | |
| 12ax7 tubes can be enterchanged with xxx tubes? It's my understanding that the 12bz7 might be compatible with the 12ax7 as well. You certainly want to check and see if they will work in your piece though. | |
| Are my ears just fooling me? I have to agree with the Klipsch recommendations above (I'm probably biased because I own a pair of the Khorns). These speakers are fast and play horns very well. Every time I hear a sax blast come through my head raises and a huge smile gets plan... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" I believe most here, including myself, who won't acknowledge a "what is your best price" buyer (particularly as an opening statement) do so from prior experience. I am sure there are just a small hand full that might actually be buyers, but most a... | |
| JMW 9 effective mass? I've been using a Benz cartridge with my VPI setup for a while now and they are avery good match. Dynavector's also work good with VPI. It's my understanding that high compliance cartridges is the way to go with these tonearms. Enjoy. | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" Tvad wrote;I don't believe replying with, "What's your best offer?" is a smart a** response. I agree. I was thinking more like someone else's response here that went like; " just pick your favorite number and keep adding zeros till I tell you to s... |
