| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers As an update. My primary system is now using a Yaqin MC-30L that cost about $600 with my Focal 836v speakers that cost $3,000. I couldn't be more happy with the amplifier or the system. It is more about individual products and not relative price p... | |
| Do powercords make a difference? A Test. I like the way you think; however, in theory a significant part of how a power cord can perform given the power demands of the music. You may be onto something for sources and such, but you are missing a big part of the picture for amplifiers. I c... | |
| Pro Audio Speaker Wire Fail - Story/Question "Have any of you ever had to clean up after a mess like this?"I thought some might be entertained by or could relate to my experience. | |
| Pro Audio Speaker Wire Fail - Story/Question I should take part of the blame for not digging into it several years ago, but but my wife's brother recently moved to town and has a lot of pro audio experience which is a big part of what prompted me to finally get it all figured out. I think we... | |
| Pro Audio Speaker Wire Fail - Story/Question It looks like the goal was biamping with the two speakers in parallel, it is obvious that the jumpers were never changed internally to support biamping. What a mess... | |
| Installing a stereo in my garage. Suggestions? I also have the Audioengine A5+ speakers and have been very impressed with their sound. The do sound much better with a real CD player compared to my iPod. I think they would be worth the risk because you can send them back. | |
| Debating between Hybrid and Tube Integrated Amp I have a Yaqin MC-30L with my Focal 836v speakers and love the combination. I also have a two kids under three. The tube amplifier isn't hooked up all the time, but my older one has no issues with leaving it alone. The baby is still learning to no... | |
| Does treble response beyond my hearing matter? I wish I could find the link, but I was reading something the other day on hi resolution audio and it talked about why Redbook CD is more than adequate to exceed the human capacity for hearing. The interesting thing was that the high res media cou... | |
| Remote Control Codes for DHC 9.9 Try emailing Integra support. They have always responded in a few weeks for me. | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it I would suggest reading some of the cable articles on Blue Jeans Cable website and also TNT Audio. | |
| Matching Amplifier to Focal Maestro Utopia The local shop is currently running Asthetix amps and I have never left the store blown away like I always was with the Krell. I can't say why, but it is a consistent response. | |
| Matching Amplifier to Focal Maestro Utopia I always recommend Krell for Focal speakers. I have heard everything from the S-300i with Chorus 700 series speakers to some of the big mono blocks with the Stella and Grands. I have heard them with other gear but have never wow'd by anything else... | |
| transparent audio ultra ic burn in time Donniewn - My theory in your situation is that the initial pleasing sound resulted from expecting to head said improvement. Then as you listened more and realized that maybe there wasn't much difference, if any at all, and then the new cables star... | |
| What is the acceptable range for tube bias? Yes, the manual clearly states 0.4v and it is also stamped on the amplifieir next to each set of measurement points. I figured that I was on the right track when I got results that were pretty much right on what was expected.I will probably warm i... | |
| Monitor speaker recommendations Skipper - the difference between the 706v and 806v is primarily the cabinet think was. If you knock on the top of them you will quickly hear the difference. The 706v will have more cabinet resonance. My father-in-law has a pair of 706v, a friend h... |
