| Vintage vs New Vintage for nostalgia and aesthetic style, modern for sound quality and everything else. There are no vintage speakers can hold a candle to Tekton Double Impacts, to name just one, and the same goes for everything else- especially wire. There simp... | |
| Can AVR DC Output at Preamp Outs be Increased? Possibly something missing in translation. | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. I’m old enough to remember back when it was considered proper to correct bad grammar right on the spot. It was never considered bad manners or insulting to do so and when I was corrected, it was not a big deal. In fact, I appreciated it and endeav... | |
| Problem of an infrared remote affecting two components at same time Would be nice if one or the other could be programmed to a different code. Short of that you probably have the right idea, and just need to find the receiver. Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it already. If you open it up and still can... | |
| Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why. Tamber is a girl’s name. I found a baby name website claims it means music pitch. Whatever. The word you were probably looking for is timbre. Pronouced timber, timbre is the word for the particular harmonic overtone structure of different instrume... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander It all depends on your point of view. Stiffer in general leans a bit lively, softer a bit more full and round. Something like that. You can also do stuff like mix them up, use three vs four, augment with one Nobsound, etc. They are so flexible, I ... | |
| Adding Home Theater To 2 Channel System A screen is the best way to go. If you really want the least possible compromise use an acoustically transparent screen, one designed to have speakers behind it. This way you can put whatever acoustic panel you want behind the screen and it will s... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon miller carbon: let you in on a little secret. If there is one thing that could be called my secret weapon it is that I am fully prepared to admit I don't really know what is going on. Why? Because the minute you are sure you know, you stop looking... | |
| Broke key guide on 6sn7 how to keep using tube Line up the mark where the key used to stick out with the slot in the tube socket. | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. We still have some ways to go. But we're getting there.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIRDCR8xSO0 | |
| Adding Home Theater To 2 Channel System Don't do it. Doesn't your stereo image well? So what do you need a center channel for? Don't you have a wide expansive sound stage? The worst thing you can do to a fine system like yours is add a surround processor, of any kind. Any price. Does no... | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander Yes the crossover got physically roughly 8X the size, if you go by volume. And I totally know about outboarding. Rick was pushing it hard. And really, I wanted to do it. Why I did not, it was a simple calculation of risk/work/reward. Moabs have a ... | |
| My Apologies to Miller Carbon You know I will! The sick part is, and this is a long story, but there's things I am not at liberty to discuss on-line (Frank knows) that have a huge impact. When Danager was here I pulled one out and handed it to him while the music was playing. ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration A lot of the challenge is that while there is no stereo bass in the bottom octave or two, it does sound as if it is stereo. The drum whacks in Bird on a Wire, each one has a definite location. The hall ambience and cannon on Tchaikovsky 1812 are a... | |
| Returning to audiophilism after 20 years: a little guidance would be nice :-) Pieter, I think one thing you will find out real fast, the last 20 years have not been kind to Mark Levinson. The 331 will probably seem flat, dry and sterile compared to a much less expensive (and powerful) tube integrated. Here in the US I am bu... |
