| Whats playing on your system today? SRV - Blues at Sunrise Warren Haynes - Ashes & Dust Gov’t Mule - Life Before Insanity BTW, the Robin Trower concert a couple of weeks ago was very good. The old boy can still play and loves performing. Solid back-up - it was fun to h... | |
| NAT Symmetrical + Merrill Veritas The NAT Symmetrical had a nice tone and a fair amount of bloom in my system. The Acoustic Imagery Atsahs were tonally dense with hard-hitting but had highly damped bass.I never had the two together but if you like the Veritas amps, I suspect the ... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) actually greater improvement can be had by rotating the fuse in the holder for best contact Al and Ralph,Contact cleaner and a small rubber band from your kid's braces does the trick to improve fuse contact with pcb fuse holders. Geoff, You ha... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all Now running dual pairs (in bi-wire) of WE 10awg for an aggregate of 7 awg to each speaker. The resulting sound is excellent. My next project is going to be a star-quad twist of WE 10awg, with two runs in bi-wire to each speaker for 7awg to both ... | |
| Is it necessary to use the same cable brand and model for bi-wiring?? Hi Jim,I agree with adg101. I believe the benefits of bi-wiring likely become greater when running speakers with large, power-hungry low frequency drivers. For your Wharfdales, I would simply run those HT Pro 11+ cables, or your GHs, full range to... | |
| Hostility from manufacturers Of course they would! Manufacturers would like nothing better than for us to buy their products, use them briefly and discard them in favor of their newest model. That's how the term "planned obsolescence" originated.Lamm must be missing the boat ... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all From what I can see of TWL 7+ pictures, the pairs seems just twisted. Hi Jazz, If you read some of the reviews of the TWL 7+, they discuss how the 7+ PCs are Litz braided. I surmised they are using WE wire based on the comments about the wire ... | |
| ... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy Important if it is off the rails in one direction or the other but, at normal values, somewhat less important, and....after a point, higher isn’t necessarily better, as others have pointed out.It is simply a measure of the amplifier’s output imped... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Robin Trower, Someday Blues.I remember driving in my first car, some 40 years ago, and rocking out to Bridge of Sighs. Friday night's concert will seem like stepping into a time capsule. I am glad some of these guys are still at it 40 years later. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Ironically I do not uses fuses in my current set up. Yes Geoff, the irony of how much time you have spent posting to fuse threads for someone who does not use fuses is duly noted.Maybe consider posting your system on Audiogon so readers can bett... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? If anyone is interested in solid state, I am in the process of comparing four very good sounding amplifiers, at least two of which may fall into your category of "A Keeper for Life."Acoustic Imagery Atsah (Class D monoblocks @ 300 wpc/8 ohms, Ncor... | |
| Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all Hi Bill,Can I ask did you use 2 or 4 of the WE10awg wires for your power cords? If you used 4 wires per cord (2 for pos and 2 for neg), did you twist or braid them?TWL braids 4 of the WE10awg wires for their highly-thought-of Seven Plus America... | |
| Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube After a year and a half, I have finally divested myself from a pair of very good sounding Ncore NC1200 Acoustic Imagery Atsahs, but I have not settled in on their final replacement. The original comparison was between the Class D Atsahs and a Cla... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Geoff, Your proficiency in simple mathematics is duly noted : -) | |
| What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon? I am so tired of reading how someone got offended by a low-ball offer. +1 rockadannyJohn and Tommy, I too miss the free-wheelin days of buying and selling. Probably lost a little money overall but I had about 25 preamps through here before fin... |
