| Class A Solid State Sound Why hasn't anybody spoken about Boulder amps. They are class A with sliding bias which for some unknown psychological reason I am uncomfortable with. Of course 250 large for a set of boat anchors is a bit steep even if your floor can support them.... | |
| LOUD popping Rogue Magnum Bad capacitor. It starts charging up then arcs out. Both channels involved so it is in the power supply. I think it is going back to Rogue. | |
| Anyone have this turntable issue? Disconnect the turntable ground and see if it happens. Next try a different cartridge. Very Weird. It has to be sending a signal through the ground assume your volume is all they way down when it is all the way down. Is there any signal at all wit... | |
| Replacing caps on crossovers? Musichead. If the speakers are working properly there is little to gain and usually you have to do some surgery to get to the x-over risking damaging other parts like the drivers. If you are not happy with your speakers use the money to save for n... | |
| Magnepan for Background Listening Just fine. The sweet spot is small for every speaker made it is just that the better speakers are better at displaying it for you. The sharper the sweet spot the better the loudspeaker. Background music is just that. You are really busy doing some... | |
| Dealers and exaggerated treble Having worked in a Mid Fi store for a period in the late 70s there were all kinds of tricks the salespeople played. 1st of all the salespeople were "spiffed" on certain products management wanted to push. They got payed extra to move these product... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? I have no idea how many records I have. They are all over the place but I can always find what I want. Not sure how. All the CDs are on a hard drive and cataloged in iTunes. I'd rather look at the vinyl. | |

| Acoustic treatment Geoffkait, just throw the CD's away and download all your music in MP3 files. That should be perfect for you. Your ear works just like any other microphone. It detects minute changes in pressure. In your case you might want to clean the wax out fi... | |
| Paper cone woofers died in 1962 .... a look back They should have just followed Peter Walker's lead. KLH? | |
| Differences among the electrostatics of Martin Logan models? You might want to check out Sanders ESLs. He designed the curved panel for ML, left and created his own company. He is an up front guy.His speakers are significantly better than any ML I have heard. You can not take a curved panel very low before ... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? That is why Howard Johnson made 28 flavors. But, too bad we could not hear each other's systems. | |
| Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts? A Krell KSA 300 is a bad idea unless you are fond of rebuilding output stages. | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Phusis, all that is nice but relative to what? We are not trying to blow up the Empire State Building. If you like pea watt amplifiers then you need all the efficiency you can get but in real life you can get all the volume and dynamics you need w... | |
| Manley Neo- classic mono blocks paired to ML ESL 11A opinions please Pvmike, not the best match. If you like tube sound use tube line level stuff. But for ESLs you are better off with high power AB amp like the Sanders Magtech unless you can afford one of the more expensive class A amps. If you can find a used set ... |
