| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? In general it does seem many systems using mcintosh are all or nothing as in all mcintosh made components. I have heard them and they sound good. Hey I just saw that show "Elementary" and Sherlock Holmes even has an all Mcintosh system even the tu... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil No doubt my post was not very clear..**First I totally agree, horns from then or now are the way to go for effective and cheaper alternative than several of the so called "esoteric" speakers..Never would I or could I dispute.. By the way I was not... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Now it explains it... Well I see where your true issues lie... Your in need of some real electronics my friend no offense.. Your simply trying to pry some very old and distorted equipment back by now "covering it" with good filtering..and re-cappi... | |
| College student stuck w/ bad speakers: advise pls Why are "Klipsch, Bose, Polk" out of the question? Cost? Bose is not even close, so forget those, you get nothing for your money, however klipsch and Polk both have some real killer speakers for the prices, and used you can do some damage, maybe n... | |
| Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please Gradient evidence? Not sure how it would replace a 100 db sensitive system that goes down to 20 hz.. The specs on the gradient are 86 db which is not very comparable to 100 db efficiency, and the frequency range on the Gradient is only45-20000Hz +... | |
| Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please Not to pile on here, facts are facts.. the Eminence Beta drivers used in these new open baffles are about 50 bucks, the waveguide is about 6 bucks.. And the DSP unit is about 199.00 online, and it is HORRIBLY cheap and not very good sound compared... | |
| Sweetest SET Amp below $5k SmeyersI have the 20 watt versions... And their preamp with Phono stage all hot rodded out.. I have owned Cary, Mcintosh, threshold, Odyssey, Classe', Forte', Rogue, Counterpoint, Ps Audio, Basic Denon and Harmon amps, yeesh can't think of them al... | |
| 12AX7 vs 12AT7 Some circuits can use both.. Also the lowest gain of the series is the 12Au7's but make sure you can use any of this family first..Beyond that 12AT7's for the most part are easier to find in better quality these days, even some of the new producti... | |
| I Have 100K for Speakers? Its about the same as these motorcycles.. A seat, handle bars and Wheels.. I mean they can cost you as much as a full blown advanced vehicle like a mercedes with everything in it, costing 100 times as much to build but they cost the same price as ... | |
| Sweetest SET Amp below $5k Audio Mirror.. Nothing like them.. Nothing with the finish and parts quality, not to mention the tubes are cheap compared to other models with better sound and are much more durable.. using the same tubes as Atmas-phere amps. | |
| 8 ohm Dual woofer speakers... How? ElevickThats what I was getting at, So realistically the two combined in parallel is not really the impedance of a speaker than, its simply the resistance? | |
| 8 ohm Dual woofer speakers... How? No I understand how to do it.. but they are not.. The drivers from many are 8 ohm each wired in parallel giving a 4 ohm but still speced at 8 is what I am saying. | |
| Speaker driver efficiency, series vs. parallel etc Drew, seems I am following you but I might be getting a little messy on this so for the example above, my 4 drivers run series-parallel and original single drive at 90 db... Is in fact now a 96 db sensitivity seen by the amplifier? It would at lea... | |
| Unable to audition used speakers a problem 99% of the sales are sight and sound un-seen, un-heard.. Just the way the used market works.. Most of the time there is Zero optimal way for someone to hook up where they are going to sound correct, or even with the right equipment anyway.. Unfort... | |
| In the latest The Absolute Sound I get ZERO static with VPI and record research fluids, I check it and then just run a Carbon brush on it right before played anyway which grounds out and pulls any debris and static, the albums sound perfect, not a crackle or pop, so I have no pla... |
