| Cartridge Output Level Question What is MC vs. MM? | |
| From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal I'm the proud owner of a pair of Focal 836v speakers and have been very happy with their bass response. Just recently I hooked up my Martin Logan Dynamo 700 10 inch subwoofer to the main channel pre-outs on my receiver to allow me to "fill in the ... | |
| speaker cables What sound characteristic are you wanting to change? What do you want "more" of other than placebo cost? Speaking of cost, a budget range would be helpful as well. | |
| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... I took a different route in playing detective and tried to figure out the value of the bike in the pictures found on the link so see if the OP could afford the systems described. I wasn't able to figure out exactly what model it was as the name on... | |
| Speaker Wire Recommendations? Buconero117 - That's what I'm afraid of and trying to get a feel for. Some people believe that speaker wire is more about "snake oils" than actual factual improvement, but I'm not yet convinced one way or the other.I think that it's possible for t... | |
| Integra 9.9 v 40.1/.2 MAIN DIFFS ?? Have you checked out their website? They have several different series 40, 50 & 80 and the .1 is the older version and the .2 is the newest version that is slowly working it way up through the series. the 50.1 and 40.1 are more than a model ye... | |
| Integra 9.9 v 40.1/.2 MAIN DIFFS ?? Too bad you didn't see the 40.2 that sold on eBay a few weeks ago new in the box for just over $300. I tried to get a co-worker to get it, but he got greedy and then gave up. It was a buy-it-now for a long time around $300.I think the biggest diff... | |
| $500-$1000 to spend on a used CD player Check out www.pioneerelectronics.com as they have several SACD players for sale at great prices. I have the lest expensive one, on sale for $230, and it was a significant improvement over my blu-ray and 6 disk changer. There are several other opti... | |
| Using Receiver as a Switcher? I recently purchased a Pioneer Elite SACD player from Pioneer for a great price and have been really impressed with the sound quality improvement compared to my Integra 6-disk player and Samsung blu-ray player. The difference in redbook playback i... | |
| How is Mid Fi defined? Tvad - It sounds like you've met an engineer before! We tend to approach things a little differently than the rest of the world. | |
| How is Mid Fi defined? "Why do you have the need to define your gear in some nebulous ranking system?" - TvadI honestly don't care where my equipment ranks in the Low/Mid/Hi Fi world, I'm happy with it. Being an engineer I like to understand/explain things using concret... | |
| How is Mid Fi defined? I think that many of the comments are on track for a reasonable distinction, but like everything else, black & white doesn't exist.Let's examine my system:(1) Focal Chorus 836v speakers. Not a "Big Box" store item, but is considered to be the ... | |
| How is Mid Fi defined? I don't think that Hi Fi, Mid Fi or Low Fi can be defined in a way that very many would agree, but since I've seen it referenced several times I figured I'd ask what it means to different people. I hadn't really considered that my speakers were an... | |
| Integra 50.1 Speaker Setting Question The power output is rated for 130 watts @ 8 ohms. The dynamic power rating is 150 watts @ 8 ohms, 250 watts @ 4 ohms and 300 watts @ 3 ohms.It sounds like the setting probably is more limiting in the 4 ohm configuration because it has the potentia... | |
| Using Receiver as a Switcher? From what my electrical engineering buddy has told me, you can judge the power output on your amplifier to a certain degree if you have a volume that reads in minus dB. At 0 dB you are providing 100% amplifier power and something like -3dB is half... |
