| Crossover Capacitor In Parallel with Woofer It sounds like a 12 dB/oct Linkwitz-Riley crossover. | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Yes zalive, it comes down to the master. But better is better. We have no control over which master is used. The question is, is computer audio better than digital playback from a CD drive. I can not really answer that question. I have compared th... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush I have never heard an ARC phonoamp with "tube rush." They do have noise way down which is not a factor up to 110 dB in my system. I do use super low noise 6922's from Roger Modjeski's tubeaudiostore.com. He measures every single tube and puts them... | |
| Pass Labs XA 30.8 Standby power draw? Put your hand on the amp when you get up in the morning while it is in standby mode if it is cold you are drawing very little like the 0.3 watts suggested. | |
| Pass Labs or Devialet Good choice.Enjoy,Mike | |
| Do any of these interest you at all? (If you had the money)(Which I don't) mantaman, if I follow in my father's footsteps I will wind up the same way,Fairly wealthy and deaf as a door knob. My plan is to use my system like giant hearing aids. Room control will become head control and I already have the power and soon the... | |
| Best settings using a Jolida JD 9 II phono with Ortofon Quintet Black cartridge Hi audibleguy, set the preamp to 100 ohms, pf all off or 47pf. MC high.Great choice. This Ortofon is perhaps the best buy in a moving coil cartridge on the market.Enjoy,Mike | |
| Dazed & Confused No high-amp I do not think it is your ears. I know all those cuts intimately.You have a rising response in the upper midrange. I would guess it is the interaction with your room. Hang a rug behind your system rack and run a line of acoustic tile o... | |
| Best realistic omni type speaker option? cdc2, you are already use to ESLs. MLs are limited because of that curved diaphragm which forces ML to go down at 250 Hz to a dynamic woofer smack in the middle of the midrange where ESLs are supposed to shine. The curved diaphragm is not linear. ... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! As was mentioned previously, pushing the envelope is what makes the stuff we can afford better. That there are people out there that can afford it makes advancing the art practical. In reality, if you put the same tone arm and cartridge on a lesse... | |
| Dazed & Confused High-amp, I looked at your room. The problem with ML's is that curved diaphragm. As the diaphragm moves forward it tightens. As it moves back it gets loose. In other words it is not linear. The harder you push it the more it distorts and you have ... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! Oh, thanks for the correction lewm, right gimbal. Got it.Not envy at all lewm. A practical analysis of the product at hand. The only positive thing I have to say about it is that at least it has a gimbal bearing on the tonearm. I would get a Kuzma... | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! edgewear, you never get your monies worth when you spend 2-3 times as much for an inferior product. However the person who buys one of these would not know the difference. In reality they will sell very few of them because the vast majority of rea... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Comparison's made with the same system cancel out everything except the variables being changed. For digital it is relatively simple. It is all about the DAC. Any good transport will suffice. For Vinyl however it is the cartridge, tonearm, TT and ... | |
| The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase I wonder what Elizabeth Kubler Ross would think of this. As far as audio is concerned I have died 100 times. Usually, I don't even go for the 30%. I just throw it in the garbage rather than ruin someone else's day. (Ethics in Audio 101) But, the e... |
