| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) You have to put this speaker in context. Back in 1960 the most powerful amps all tubes was 90 watts. In order to get realistic volume levels you had to resort to something like the K horn and back then they were the ultimate speaker and they stood... | |
| The sounds reproduced by KEF Blades are amazing! with Merrill Audio! Yes, I have always wanted to hear the Blades. I love the design. The opposing woofers is brilliant. Point source to the max. Set up correctly they should be holographic. | |
| Parasound JC-1 - How old is too old? Oh and don't forget to tell us what you think of them. | |
| Parasound JC-1 - How old is too old? and get to it fast. They will not last long! | |
| Parasound JC-1 - How old is too old? Geoffkait, they run class A to 25 watts into 8 ohms. For some reason this is a magic number for John Curl. After that they run class B. Run on full bias they still can get pretty hot. Hot enough that you would not want to keep your hand on the hea... | |
| Parasound JC-1 - How old is too old? Jaylor, as I said above these amps can not overheat. If someone was silly enough to put them inside a cabinet they would just keep shutting themselves off. I had a pair of Krell KMA 100s which was made with output devices not near as sophisticated... | |
| Parasound JC-1 - How old is too old? I have a pair of JC 1s which are now driving my subwoofers. I used them on my ESLs for many years and I can tell you that there are very few amps that perform as well and the ones that do cost way more. They may go down as the amplifier value of t... | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) I read the review and there are obvious issues like the front panel resonating and the phase distortion between drivers. I would love to triamp K horns, and correct the phase issues and frequency response with DSP control. Add subwoofers below 100... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Wow, some people need a higher dose of Thorazine. I could never hear the difference between styli in the same cartridge. I guess my hearing sucks. If you think you need a mono cartridge it is your money. I certainly do not having just listened to ... | |
| Forced into Near Field Listening - which ProAc stand mount? Go with the D48s They are the same width as the D2s and with the D2s on their stands the same height. The D48s have a better tweeter and will have lower distortion levels at any given volume. They are also not ported which I think is an advantage.... | |
| Ortofon 2M Bronze vs 2M black any difference? Johnjohn, correct the bronze and black styli are interchangeable. The effective mass of these styli are essentially the same and their tracking ability is close to identical. The radius is a little different so they will contact the groove at a di... | |
| Saw Brian Ferry Last Night! Everyone have a Great Time!! He is complete with his gorgeous and fabulously talented female musicians. | |
| Replacing components, Please weigh in! Amy, all you need is a Parasound Hint 6. It is complete with a built in phono stage and everything you could possibly want in the future. You can read reviews on it. At $3000.00 it is a 180 watt per channel bargain.I promise you will love it! | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Here is a nice article on the subject. https://dgmono.com/2018/04/06/deep-groove-mono-and-the-great-groove-width-mystery/It is the stylus radius that is the most important measurement not the shape of the stylus. The smaller stereo stylus might ... | |
| Searching for matching(?) Subwoofer solution Using sine wave test tones at five Hz intervals audiophiles can reliably locate 60 Hz and a few even down as low as 50 Hz. Nobody can locate 45 Hz. Below that the whole house is shaking. At 20 Hz your vision blurs. My wife can not locate 80 Hz. Ha... |
