| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? Funny but I also have a CEC transport feeding an Audio Note Kits Dac (3.1 sig) and I only listen to Redbook CDs. I do listen to 60% vinyl because it sounds even better on the right recordings, but Redbook sounds great. It is largely about system b... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener I just realized I am completely wrong. Apologies all. JohnnyR is right of course. No crossover sends far more bass information than the sub is supposed to see and the inverse curve in the sub would produce far too much low frequency info and damag... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Sorry if I misled ... I know you are supposed to use the crossover to get any kind of good results. But running the full range signal from the amp to the sub doesn't endanger the sub, does it? It just puts a bunch of higher frequency information t... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Sorry if I am misunderstanding one of your posts, but if you are using the 2wq without a crossover in between the pre and power amp, it poses no danger to anything of course, but you are doubly reproducing a fairly wide range of frequencies from b... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener actually maybe I bought two MH- crossovers for $600... sorry I can't remember! | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Another vote for the Vandersteen 2wq sub. I owned one for a couple of years, and bought another. The crossover setup makes this the most seamless sub system I have heard. I have used them with Quad ESL-63 and Snell Type A speakers. These subs are ... | |
| Snell Type A II Speakers Marty I apologize that I did not see your question until now. You can reach Lloyd at (314) 440-8187 | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? It was nice because most tube amps sounded musical back then. Now more than half the tube amps sounds closer to solid state, at least in tonal balance. I wish Conrad Johnson had stuck closer to their musicality heritage, for example.Who didn't lik... | |
| Thor ta-1000 pre cap replacement -- advice I replaced two more caps, beyond the coupling caps with audio note mylar copper caps. Still breaking in and making tube and cable changes too so I may never be able to.attribute changes to the caps. But things are heading a good direction. Thanks ... | |
| Frequency equalizing -- Left and right channels separately or together Sorry for the very late reply, but thank you, Erik! | |
| Snell Type A II Speakers I have owned six pair of Type A speakers. They are one of the most realistic sounding speakers ever designed, in my opinion. I have owned Proac, b&w 802, Quad esl-63, Spendor and others, and just a month ago returned to the snells for my main ... | |
| Thor TA-1000 - inerverting or non-inverting absolute phase? Cool. I just bought a vac Renaissance 30/30 amp and may replace more caps in the Thor to soften the treble a tad. The Thor is so bulletproof, quiet and great sounding. Hard to imagine replacing it. | |
| Vac Renaissance 30/30 -- difference between original Mk2 and Mk3? What do you think an original is worth, in excellent condition, with no output tubes? | |
| Rives PARC parametric equalizer This is an old thread, but I see many of you are far more knowledgeable about equalization than I. I just bought a Rives Parc and even a quick and dirty measure/set shows truly amazing effect on my 50hz bass bump. I just measured and corrected bot... | |
| Shindo Montrachet EL34 amp -- can it handle impedance of Snell Type A? I confirmed that the Snells are a 4ohm nominal load so they just are not suitable for the Shindig. Too bad. Thanks very much for everyone's advice Now I need to either find a new amp or other speakers ... But I do not like most speakers, so I may ... |
