| Can anybody please help me identify a plug socket Honestly, I would not want that thing anywhere " in " my system. Why would I want to " dirty up " the signal of what I put together for " cleanliness. | |
| Two more recordings expected to be released by Tony Minasian....... Obviously, people have no interest, or knowledge, of the recordings of engineer, designer, producer, microphone extraordinaire and more, Tony Minasian. His recordings were talked about on other threads, here and elsewhere ( how i learned of his re... | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Not sure if this is " best ", but Edge ( now Maker Audio ) NL Reference mono blocks, through a pair of MBLs. It was so beautiful listening to Santana’s Europa, I cried. | |
| What is Floyd Toole saying about extra amplifier power and headroom? To the OP, and everyone. I am here to not play devils advocate, but here it goes. 1st, lots of good information shared above. Steve Guttenberg, the Audiophiliac, came out with a video on his channel a few weeks ago, asking " Is your system perfect... | |
| Matching a Spectral DMA 180 with a preamp that is not Spectral I am someone who has eliminated the preamp ( additional active stage ), from my system. Without being crude, I do not understand why anyone would own such a fine amp ( with such high speed and wide bandwidth ), and feed it a mediocre, at best, pre... | |
| Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience. Myself, as well as my client base, all feel differently about the damping. It is all ok. Enjoy ! | |
| Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience. The horn material, whether short or long, still benefits in sq with damping. The tweeters, being quite short, benefit with damping, and I am sorry if I never mentioned that, for you to do. The woofer frame as well. I am just a damping kind of guy.... | |
| Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. One word : Dynamat | |
| Help finding a simple but high quality buffer or preamp for remotely controlling volume Should I assume you contacted SMC to see if he can remote control your TLC1 ? Will this unit you are looking for be used in line with the TLC1, or independently ? | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey Likely before you all were doing any of this, I was damping the undersides of tt platters, speaker horns, woofer / driver frames and cabinets, books and bricks on top of and under components, changing out the a cheap thin power cords with shielded... | |
| I have been a stickler about keeping power cables away from signal cables...on equipment ? DS....I hear differences of great magnitude after a substantial warm up of a piece of gear, as well as upgraded fuses. Based on your writings, we are quite different in our opinions. It is ok to challenge me on what I hear or what I think I hear, ... | |
| Usher R 1.5, Can This Amp Be For Real? Years back I bought a combo of this amp with it’s matching preamp for just under 2 K, from an old client of mine. Well made, with a very powerful presentation. I liked the sq of the amp more than the preamp, but ultimately, found it to be very " t... | |
| Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience. Not to disagree with wolf, because many people prefer the Heresy's on the floor, tilted up, and not to mention, they were designed to be used this way. However, for my type of presentation, I prefer them on good, rigid, non resonant stands, away f... | |
| Belles original 150 amplifier. Any good? Can’t beat a deal like that, for sure. However, I too had a hot rod version of the amp in my collection that I sold, shortly after acquiring my 1st Nuforce STA 200. The Belles in comparison, sounded dark, lacked detail and had a withdrawn presence... | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) @atmasphere Ralph, great story. I am sure in my past life I had many instances of using and listening to a true balanced system. So, what can we all do, to get this type of balanced system into out listening rooms ? |
