| Outlet shoot out Tom, thanks for the explaination; makes perfect sense. | |
| Outlet shoot out Tom, your comments beg the question; if you are using these 2 outlets (Acme and FIM) in different rooms with different gear and different software, how are you able to assign the characteristics so specifically to the outlets?i don't use either (i... | |
| Speaker Impedance, Tenor OTLs, and Watt Puppies Tekunda, art is art, and sound is sound. make sure if you spend big bucks for amps (even with a great discount), that you get solidly engineered amps (which the Krons may well be).i have done "biggest and baddest" before, i had the Mark Levinson #... | |
| Speaker Impedance, Tenor OTLs, and Watt Puppies Tekunda, i refuse, on general principle, to buy anything called "Double Kronzilla".....the name is just too "out there". i couldn't brag all over the web on my great "Double Kronzillas".....the name "Tenor" sounds much more classy and dignified.i,... | |
| Speaker Impedance, Tenor OTLs, and Watt Puppies adsal, i did read that review.Hayden, the choice of which comes first, the chicken (speakers) or the egg (amps) is classic. my 2 cents in this case is that for the closest to the musical event an OTL is the best amplifier and no matter what speake... | |
| Capitole owners- any benefits to external preamp?? Sutts, what can i say?.... a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do. in the context of my system the whole combination of interconnects and Placette makes sense. it replaced a Levinson #32 and sounds better..... and i had money left over to contribute... | |
| Capitole owners- any benefits to external preamp?? Sutts, i'm sorry if i was not very clear, i interpret "cranking it all the way up" as "unity gain" and i just cranked it all the way up.i use Valhalla XLR interconnects before and after the Placette. | |
| Speaker Impedance, Tenor OTLs, and Watt Puppies Hayden, one thing you need to remember is that the Tenors only output 55 watts into 4 ohms, but 75 watts into 8 ohms. then if that is reduced to 3 ohms you are probably looking at less than 50 watts. so the output power of the amp is affected by t... | |
| Capitole owners- any benefits to external preamp?? even though the volume control in the Capitole Version 1 is not the last word in transparency and neutrality it does add to the "bloom" and "layering" that is part of the attraction of the Capitole. so i think the decision to use a passive pre suc... | |
| Placette pasive pre vs. BAT VK-50SE hi Ken, at least i try to keep my opinions humble.anyway, i would guess that the volume control that is in the Berning ZH-270 would be bettered by the Placette but when i had the Berning in my room i didn't try it with it's own volume control. typ... | |
| Placette pasive pre vs. BAT VK-50SE Andy, Matt mentioned to me that you were enjoying the Placette....if you did want what a preamp can do, i highly recommend the #32 as a great one, i really enjoyed mine....it was right up there with any active preamp and as you know, it is a wonde... | |
| Placette pasive pre vs. BAT VK-50SE Arl, save the trouble of considering the #32; i sold my #32 after i compared it to the Placette RVC and the integrated Tenor 75Wi amplifier.....in both cases there was no contest. the more neutral and natural your system is the less you need what ... | |
| Placette pasive pre vs. BAT VK-50SE mrgigi, with only one source what you need is the Placette RVC (remote volume control) which i use and am told sounds the same as the Placette passive pre. I have tried the BAT50SE in my system and prefer the Placette although in some systems the ... | |
| Maple/light wood racks hi Brian,if you really want your significant other to like the "look" of your equipment rack check out Zoethecus racks. their light maple racks, which i use, are absolutely beautiful. unfortunately, the Zoethecus web site does not have their home ... | |
| What is the most expensive? Try this bit of "wretched excess"http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/mikel/wild_thing_3.jpgjust goes to prove that money can't buy everything. |
