| Frequency Response I will go out on a limb and just tell you that 20Hz-20KHz reasonably linear i.e. +/- 3Dbn is fairly standard fora large floor stander. My Focals actually don't extend done to 20 cycles but stops around 27 Hz. I don't miss it but some people like t... | |
| speaker to use with Von Schweikert lcr 15? You answered your own question, VR-2s are a great small footprint floorstander, with an ambience rear firing tweeter/midrange. Post your requirements in the wanteds section of the many audio websites around the net. I don't think VSA still makes t... | |
| New tube problems - need help Yes you need to be concerned. Did you check all of the fuses? You may have done damage to the amplifiers circuit for that tube, typically a resistor might get taken down with a blown tube. I think it would be prudent to refer the question to Quick... | |
| Pre amp for Nuforce Reference 9 mono's My generic advice is that you would be a lot happier with the right tube power amps. Doubting you would consider that I suggest you get a tube preamp. If you have $1200 to spend the AES AE-3 is still available new and if you can get one used allth... | |
| THE GREAT AC OUTLET SHOOTOUT. I am actually an MD. The one thing we learned with certainty in Medical School is that there was more we didn't know than what we did. I have changed that to sound more reasonable. I did not invent this, we don't know what we don't know. Unfortuna... | |
| Bryston or Levinson for Revel F52 Don't call me but have you heard either of these two? Why are you considering them and what do you want the amp to do that MF doesn't? | |
| Dynavector XX Mk II Look up Bob's devices for a currently popular SUT that uses Cinemage transformers. I don't know enough to guide you beyond that, but there are several other "Analog" forums to post your questions to and get advice about which Bob's device you want. | |
| Best Upgradeable DAC ? The best upgradeable DAC is so good it will never need to be upgraded. I don't know it'sd name but I am sure it is out there. | |
| New Shelter 901-iii I used the Google translator "accelerator" and found the translation difficult to understand but it does clearly speak about a 901 III. So it appears to exist. | |
| Sonus Faber Toy Monitor or S.A. Minuet Supreme??? If I were buying a small monitor I would buy the FJ mini. It is a fabulous little speaker I think from Germany. | |
| How Black is Your Background? @RLHJazz,can I borrow your "Sonic Enima" cable name that one is very funny. | |
| Luxman SQ38s or Sansui AU-111 The one you like the best is the is the best.I can say as an owner of a Sansui amp that it will be less warm and more defined in the treble than the warmer than neutral Luxman, which I have a owned in the past. If you like the rich warm tones of a... | |
| Recommendations for Electronic Crossovers - HELP I think Accuphase makes an external X-Over but that is at least one arm and one leg min. There is another HI-FI X-over but the name escapes me. It is one of the obstacles to biamping, it is a royal bummer, wish it was easy. | |
| does your system "warm up" and then sound better? Anyone who said warm tubes would sound better is correct. They sound much better than cold tubes. I was thinking of the leaving them on all the time part of the question, | |
| Best 2-way room friendly speakers Of any era I don't know but for the late 1950s My dad's JBL C36s with a extended range woofer midranrange driver the Iconic D-130 and the Aluminum short horn "bullet" 075 tweeter were contenders for best sound. They were clear and fast while other... |
