| Have you used a frequency/tone CD w/SPL meter ... Okay, I am going to out myself a little bit. I own a company which rents and sells SLMs, FFTs, RTAs, various spectrum analyzers,etc. As far as the perfect measurement and alignment goes, you would use a sound source like a Bruel and Kjaer 4204 or ... | |
| What is the best $1000 CD Player? Here be my vote.Used, very cheap, old Rega PlanetBel Canto DC-1 w/ Pioneer DV414, get to do dvd's too:)New, Rega ApolloCheers!Chris | |
| what do you put under your sub? Rel Stentor MK2...I put 200/pr Symposium Rollerblock Jrs under it, best tweak I have ever done. I totally lost the "one note blues", the sub opened up, easier to integrate..I used four, one under each foot. I can't begin to tell you what a huge di... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Spend more money than you have, use a finance company, make payments on your system for five years that take all your disposable income, then, for at least 5 years, no more upgrade bug :):):):) I am kidding of course, at least a little bitCheers! | |
| Guilty Pleasures.... Okay, I could have bought a country club golf membership (around here 50k plus 500 bucks a month plus a food charge) and been around my family less with nobody enjoying it but me.. then add food, misc, a cart) but I would rather golf with my frien... | |
| Any thoughts on Krell Oneobgyn, I loved the KRC-HR too... still have it around somewhere... hmmm..oughta try it with the MBL101s just for fun. I'm really depressed that the SE upgrade on the Meitner is really good, the way my system is now,after a preamp upgrade, I pro... | |
| mbl fan club Just bought 101e's two weeks ago, and then bought the 6010d. They need power! Did I mention they need power? I really liked the 116s too, however, personally I thought the Usher BE's had their own advantages at a less expensive price point. I thin... | |
| Any thoughts on Krell I have two thoughts on this. I've had a coupele of Audio Research components in the past. Seems like everytime I turned around, there was another MK something for my amp or preamp that was just an amazing breakthrough for two grand and up. That go... | |
| Preamplifier: Yes or NO ? Okay... I have Wadia 861 and Emm Labs Dcc-2. I have the Audio Research Ref II mk II, Krell KRC-HR and MBL 6010D so I can speak with some authority on this. I have ever tried to run the internal volume controls direct to the amp. Theoretically, one... | |
| Best amps for MBL101e's? Well I tried mc2000 on top, and VT100 on bottom, that sounded like doodoo. My whole family is apparently tubeophiles, as all of us preferred the mc2000 by itself over the Accuphase monos, although they had plenty of power. | |
| Best amps for MBL101e's? Thanks for your feedback. I have pretty much always in the past had one solid state and one tube preamp/amp combo. I have the Ref 2, and didn't try it yet with the Accuphase monos I borrowed, good thing to spend tonite on!cheers!Chris | |
| Best amps for MBL101e's? Thorman, thanks! I have two biases, a:, they are so bloody expensive, and b:, if I get them with the preamp, the whole system will look like an expensive Fisher All-in-One:) Seriously think I will have to demo the 9008's though, afterall the speak... | |
| Hail to Mcintosh Well and here is my two cents. I have an MC2000 driving a pair of Alto BE's, I tried Halcro, AR, Levinson. 6 years later, the bias still doesn't need to be reset... they are not on the "MK14 version", and the midrange is to die for. So, it looks c... | |
| What dynamic spkr. did you go to from electrostat? Went from Maggie 3.5 to Watt Puppy 7.0. Loved the bass, miss how transparent the Maggies were... WAF was not good on the Maggies either. WP's sound good with tubes, ARC voices their stuff with Wilsons I think. I think stats are like that one old s... | |
| Unsteady SPL Readings The Radio Shack is just not designed to accurately measure low frequencies whether it be noise or sinewave. It cannot respond near as well as other slms. However, come to think of it, you could be having some cone breakup on the sub, that may give... |
