| Which solid state power house: Naim NAP 500DR or McIntosh MC611? This business about system synergy is distressing to me. There are amplifiers that can drive anything including a dead short and there are amplifiers that are limited to easy loads. This all depends on the speakers. If you have speakers that are a... | |
| SS Amp suggestions If you can find an old set of Krell KMA 200s and do not mind rebuilding them then you are in business assuming you can find them. Other than that you are talking about amps like the Pass XA 200.5 or .8 which will cost you much more money. You need... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 and Subs No they are not and I agree. I have never heard a full range bipole speaker that I have liked. Although I think unipole line sources are a step in the right direction all the ones I have heard have suffered next to dipole ribbons and ESLs. Variabl... | |
| Stylus not tracking and sounds terrible That is bad nolacap. The little wires on the coil of the bad channel have broken. Happens a lot. New cartridge time. I have had this happen several times over the years usually to old cartridges that have seen a lot of miles. | |
| beryllium vs diamond georgehifi, it is not a matter of opinion. That ESLs are better is a matter of fact for the reasons I stated above. I love Maggies but they can not hold a candle to a big ESL. | |
| beryllium vs diamond Oh kosst-amojan, there is no question that ribbons disperse better than many if not most ESLs. But if the ESL is designed correctly this is not a problem. Everywhere else there is no comparison first because there is no crossover. Second, the dia... | |
| beryllium vs diamond Hey smodtactical, the best value by far is the 3.7. Fabulous speaker for the money. There is no dome tweeter as good as the Maggie ribbon. | |
| Stylus not tracking and sounds terrible There are very powerful magnets inside the cartridge. Amps have large transformers in them that generate strong magnetic fields. Need I say more? | |
| Recommended solid state amp for user with tinnitus DAC is going to make a set of amplifiers for audition in your own home. Tim promised to notify me when they are ready. | |
| beryllium vs diamond Oh, and georgehifi it is the mass of air moved per unit weight. Since ESLs have such a large surface area the mass of air moved is quite high even when compared to ribbon tweeters and the mylar diaphragm weights much less than a comparably sized s... | |
| beryllium vs diamond They are interesting to say the least. I was in on the ground floor with Hill Plasmatronics helium tanks and all. I am not sure what those are but they are not plasma speakers. To create a plasma you need some serious heat which requires serious p... | |
| Recommended solid state amp for user with tinnitus bdp24, that might work for some people but usually structured sound keeps people up. In my case I'm fine sleeping with it. I wake up when it stops or changes tempo. Unstructured noise is generally better for masking. I have been very disappointed ... | |
| Stylus not tracking and sounds terrible Get the darn amp away from the turntable! | |
| beryllium vs diamond Today's dome tweeters are way superior to what we had 20 years ago primarily because their power handling has improved to the degree that you can get to 100+ dB without blowing them. For a point source system a single tweeter is optimal. Arrays wi... |
