| OK to remove Tweeter Grill?? I believe Hansen was responding to a question about Paradigm speakers, but his answer was generic. Personally, I would probably not try it on expensive speakers unless either I was for sure planning to keep the speakers for the long haul, or unles... | |
| OK to remove Tweeter Grill?? Here is some more from Mr. Hansen as he answers another poster's questions and comments related to Hansen's original post above:Poster: So you believe that designers added those "Helmholz resonators" purposely to degrade tweeter performance?Hansen... | |
| OK to remove Tweeter Grill?? Check this out: The problem is NOT the metal dome. A good metal dome tweeter will sound sweet, open, transparent, and resolved. The problem is that 98% of all metal dome tweeters put a "thing" in front of the dome. Sometimes they call it a "phase ... | |
| the dead on tour again. ---two questions: The Allman Bros. have always been a favorite of mine. Sadly, I never caught them with Duane, and the one time I actually got to see them (about 10 yrs ago) Gregg appeared to be in bad shape (and sounded terrible) and the show truly sucked. Fortuna... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 versus the best Pass Labs amp Have not compared with a whole lot of amps, but to cover a few I found the DNA 500 to have better resolution than the BAT VK500 and to better it in pretty much every way. I also liked the DNA 2 run single ended better than the BAT, and I thought t... | |
| 12v triggered outlet? Eldartford makes a good point that the relay contacts will be in the AC power line path. I guess I assumed the relay contacts on my Lamm amps would be worlds better than any sort of external power switch. I do not need a remote to turn the amps on... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 versus the best Pass Labs amp I found the DNA 500 to be pretty good, but calling it "the best solid state amp" (I believe from the IAR review) is quite a stretch. Most amps in that price range have trade offs, and your success will depend on the type of sound you desire, your ... | |
| Zu Presence vs. Devore Nines I have the Zu Definitions. I auditioned the Devore Nines in NYC. With the caveat that the spaces and electronics were totally different, a potentially big caveat, or are you comfortable with your assessment?to me there was no comparison - especial... | |
| AC Power Cord Wire Gauge Increased resistance in the house wiring, due to smaller gauge or greater length, will produce a voltage loss just as readily as in the power cord. And in fact most likely to an even greater degree (since the combined current draws of multiple dev... | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Whatever you consider them, I agree with Nolitan, the Lamm hybrids are the end of the line for me. The M1.1 is what I can afford for now, but the 1.2 is on the horizon. Pretty close to everything I could hope for. | |
| Vote for your "Favorite Christmas Music CD or LP" Second Chuck Brown, my long time favorite - a glass of something, dark room, Christmas lights on the tree and listening to Vince and the gang always helps me forget all the crap and remember how lucky I am to enjoy another holiday season. Willie N... | |
| 12v triggered outlet? Hi Kurt,I did contact Lamm, and received a response (which I will forward to you) but before implementing it I thought I might get some more insight here. I believe the "switched" approach is to simply run a 12V DC circuit between the two jacks on... | |
| 12v triggered outlet? I appreciate that I could use a remote power switch, but I would prefer to keep my amps plugged directly into their dedicated circuits, without a switch in the path. Therefore, I am looking for a solution to use the 12V trigger. Also, I don't want... | |
| 12v triggered outlet? Programmergeek and Kurt, I have the exact same deal with my Lamm M1.1 monos and LL2 Deluxe preamp. Eldartford, my LL2 and Kurt's K-1xe do not have switched outlets. Could this be as simple as wiring a switch in line on one half of a 12V DC power s... | |
| Room: 16 x 18.5 how big of tv? They had an Aquos rep on Fox and Friends this morning and I believe he said the tv height should be no less than 3x the viewing distance. But then, he sells tv's. |
