| Mixing Tenor hybrid with SS multichannel for HT ? Thom, the 'warm-up' circut of the Tenors will protect it as long as your kids know how to properly turn the amps on and off. it IS important to not be turning the amps on and off immediately (allow for full 'power-up' before powering off). once yo... | |
| Mixing Tenor hybrid with SS multichannel for HT ? that is exactly the way i'll be going. although my new room is no-compromise 2-channel......i did set it up for multichannel and anticipate using ss of some sort ( maybe Dartzeel or Rowland) for my rear channels. i have 2" conduit buried in my con... | |
| Which is better, gain in phono stage or pre amp? typically you are looking for the least 'noise'. try turning up the volume with the arm raised. which combination of phono stage gain and preamp gain is the most quiet?at the various gain settings of your phono stage; are there variations in the c... | |
| Anyone: Wilson X1Grand Slamm/ Lamm ML2's David,30' x 60'x 13' is extremely large. i have a friend with a 40' x 28' x 14' foot room (that i consider large) that had X-1's for 6 years until he recently got the JM Labs Grand Utopia Be's. i listened to many amps (of many different configurat... | |
| Anyone: Wilson X1Grand Slamm/ Lamm ML2's David, i have nothing but a great respect for your opinions.but we might disagree on what is acceptable in terms of having the dynamics to energise a room. as i said, even in a large room this combo would be engaging.....but would also sound somew... | |
| Anyone: Wilson X1Grand Slamm/ Lamm ML2's i would think that a blanket statement here would be a mistake. on this combination, room size and listening tastes would be big varibles in apparent performance.in a small room with an emphasis on intimate accoustical type music i would think tha... | |
| Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter Joeycalda, i do have a comment on the Levinson #32. i was a Levinson guy for quite a few years (1995-2001) and loved every minute of it. i owned the #37, #36S, #38S, #335, #33H.....and my final Levinson system was the #32 and #33 monoblocks.....wh... | |
| Opinion on Mark Levinson 33H Monoblocks i've owned both the #33 and the #33h in a relatively small room (12' x 18') with no air conditioning. the #33h's really don't get hot at all. the #33's do put off a fair amount of heat but less than any of the many tube amps i've tried.neither the... | |
| Wow .....Pat Barber Cafe BLue HDCD version no, it comes as the regular 'Premonition' cd, the FIM HDCD, the FIM hybrid SACD and the Premonition LP.i agree that the HDCD Gold pressing is better than the standard cd.i have not seen it as an XRCD or other variations of XRCD.the SACD is better ... | |
| realworld experience: Kharma subwoofer + 3.2 CRM thanks Tpsonic for the clarification.why mess with Diamond Midi-Exquisites when the regular Exquisite 1D's do it all and work great with all the amps you mention? the price of the two speakers is close enough that it shouldn't be an issue. | |
| realworld experience: Kharma subwoofer + 3.2 CRM Tpsonic, what do you mean by your comment;"the 75K Kharmas are much harder to drive in the bass (unusual impedence load)."????....maybe i have miss-interpreted your comment.i assume you are referring to the Kharma Exquisite 1D's....which i own. my... | |
| EMM DCC2 & Learning Remote Rcr,the Meitner/emmlabs Dac's (both the DCC2 and the DAC6e/DAC6) will play redbook with any transport that can output a digital signal.....but it will not be optimized.the reason is that the emmlabs DAC's are designed for the transport to operate ... | |

| Receiver Rotel? and Speakers Maggies? for HT? Exertfluffer, have you heard the current versions of Rotel Receivers, processors and amps?i am no Rotel champion.....only a satisfied customer of the RSX-1056. i have not heard recent NAD or the Outlaw products. i am just curious whether your gene... | |
