| Attention Horn Owners The newest Khorn and Lascala are optionally available with a crossover for tri-amping......plus other changes/updates. I feel they should offer the newest of the two with the simple, single amp crossover. Simplify the connection for a single amp s... | |
| Adcom Amp Owners Rejoice! I have always felt the Adcom amps to be quite rugged and reliable. | |
| McIntosh amp Power tube replacements needed Isn’t the MC 901 a single channel power amplifier, meaning two are needed for stereo, 2 channel, L&R? | |
| Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ? I owned a pair and thought they were very enjoyable, but I always preferred my Lascalas, for my own reasons and tastes. I heavily damped the horns, woofer frames and upgraded crossover components which brought the 19s to another enjoyment level bu... | |
| Revelation Audio Labs (RAL) - Buyers Beware! I purchased my umbilical from Brad and am extremely pleased. When inquiring and then determining my build, his correspondence from beginning to end was always fast and professional. I am sorry many folks had negative experiences. I would purchase ... | |
| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? Musicianship....Composition......everything else (tone, imaging as examples) are icing on the cake. Determine what characteristics are important to you and strive for those. This can take some time for many. | |
| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? I hope I do not get long winded, as I would like to keep this short, but of my experience. I just want to say, I am happy to be part of this community, because it allows us all, with the sharing of a common interest. Even with the back-and-forth d... | |
| Standmount speaker suggestion @ullogu1 Did you / can you place the speakers along the long wall and create a near field listening situation (of course this depends on the room configuration). I have preference for this setup as side walls have always been terrible (given your ... | |
| Revelation Audio Labs Cryoed Silver Umbilical vs Audio alehcemy OEM I had a great experience with Brad from RAL. From my initial contact with him to receiving his umbilical, it was a great transaction. Upon inserting the RAL cable, it was so apparent that the factory umbilical was a "bottleneck", to my entire syst... | |
| Upgrade from Joseph Audio Pearls? I agree with "sheesh"......For what I look for in a loudspeaker, to reproduce the music I like, at the levels I like, I have easily kept my tweaked Lascalas as I have heard the Joseph Audio Pearls, and like many speakers I have heard, they were li... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? @rvpiano, as always, I hope and wish you well. No question, that there is a competitive, mine is bigger than yours, attitude amongst many of us here, in this industry, and many other industries. Men, and women. Just reading the posts here tell you... | |
| Leave it on? I use SS gear and I leave it on 24/7, because I listen daily. Simply sounds better to me after a long burn in (no pun intended). Never had a failure in 60 years for leaving ss gear on. In fact, I keep an FM station playing 24/7, through the system... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? My longtime experience tells me that the size and quality of the amps power supply has the greatest effect on what we hear, keeping in mind, the amp is of good design. I personally experienced this when I purchased my Krell KSA 100 upon its introd... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? @jonwolfpell I agree with "Can't You Hear Me Knocking". Have you ever listened to "A Tribute To Jack Johnson" by Miles Davis. | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? I generally listen to my system an hour a day, based on when and who I want to listen to. The amp I am currently using from my rotation is so beyond what is needed to get the job done, but the cleanliness and headroom screams out to me "turn it up... |
