| Older Electronics - When to cut bait? Your thoughts? Timlib, most people do not rebuild stuff themselves hence rebuilding stuff costs money and I guarantee that the rebuilt stuff will require more rebuilding before the new stuff. If you know your way around a soldering iron making old stuff work is ... | |
| SS Amp Designer by Reputation You definitely want to stay a way from older Krell amps Like the KMA and KSA series. They used an insufficient number of output devices and were under cooled. Many of them blew their output stages.I am a Pass fan if you can find a decent unit for ... | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Wow, that should scare the hell out of your wife. | |
| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? I'm not being facetious guys. I am trying to learn here. Way back I had Heresys and I loved them. In 1970 we did not have much for power. With a Dynaco Stereo 120 these things would rock. No deep bass but then nobody knew about sub woofers. They w... | |
| Where are the subs? dbphd, better room for bass. If you want the most out of your subs put them right in the corners and cross them over higher, 100 Hz at least.Play with it. It might take some work to get it sounding right but I am sure you can make further improvem... | |
| Older Electronics - When to cut bait? Your thoughts? Fix it and sell it. The very best equipment should be good for 20-25 years. Cold equipment generally lasts longer than hot equipment. All other things being equal an AB amp will last longer than an A amp. But a very well constructed A amp may last... | |
| How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables? jL35, people do not buy expensive gear that they do not like. They buy expensive gear that is flashy only to find out that they do not like it then are told "Gee, you just have to break it in." People like geoffkait are suckered into believing tha... | |

Many amps particularly tubes amps and preamps sound a little better after they warm up for a few minutes. But, breaking in of electron... | |
| Splitter -- One preamp to two amps. What to use? I forgot to mention that you can also bypass part or all of the passive crossover in your speakers which in many if not most cases will improve the sound and imaging. | |
| Splitter -- One preamp to two amps. What to use? To do this correctly your preamp should be plugged into an active crossover like The JL Audio unit which would then have separate outputs for the woofer and treble amplifiers. This gives you control over the cross over points, phase and amplifier ... | |
| What is the least compressed signal? A live concert. | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale If you get a SOTA Sapphire you will shake your head at just how bad the LP12 really is. Back in the day there was nothing else that sounded as good when properly set up and isolated. But if anyone sneezed in the room.........Plain and simple it is... | |

| How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular? Audiokinesis, I would like you to tell me how you would make a two way hybrid horn speaker.Otherwise I could not agree more. The business about woofer "speed" is unfounded. The only issue with the larger woofers is pistonic control thus the use of... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound What you will get running a Class A Pass amp into a 2 ohm load will be a very hot amp that will probably shut itself down or burn a hole through your floor. Into 4 ohms and up Pass class A amps will switch to AB at their rated power and continue o... |
