| Can you tell me why I didn't like the Reference 3a MM's? jgoldrick....to minimize the merry go round, I would take the advice, and try the speakers, in a more optimum position, especially for the purpose of hearing the problems a speaker will have, being 1 ft off, two reflecting surfaces ( the ceiling a... | |
| 'Short' horns Many tweeters are designed around a short horn, often referred to as a flare, but the size, width, length, taper, shape, you know, all have to do with the design. | |
| Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product? Hiller......I am a bit insulted that I am not on your list, LOL.....reviews are to be taken, always, with a grain of salt. Always individualistic, always, with a difference of specific music, associated gear, rooms, etc. To review a product, thing... | |
| Help hooking up a new amp Do not use the Yamaha pre out....use the rec out....I thought we covered this on another post of yours ? | |
| Considering going back to Solid State No mention of your source ( s ). I went passive ( Luminous Audio Axiom II, Walker Mod, with remote, 3 in, 2 out ), and am listening to my cds and tuner in their full glory. Worth a try. | |
| What creates the effortlessness in sound reproduction? As geoffkait indicated, but, in two words, dynamic range. Every listener, should have some experience, to listen to live, unamplified music, to get an understanding of what dynamic range, really is. ( real musicians, in a real space ). I am speaki... | |
| Looking for some Hafler XL-600 Amp service/repair references Did you check the speaker output fuse ? I believe, in mono it is a 10 amp fast blow fuse that is recommended from the manual ( I owned these amps ). | |
| Yamaha C-4 and Belles Aria help Why not trust your ears, and listen for yourself ? | |
| Anyone done A / B listening to compare vintage stereo receivers with today’s Amps/Preamps? As I understand the nostalgia thing ( owning some of these products over the years ), the worst of it, ime / imo , are the speaker switching, and the output relays, in most of these units. Yes, convenience, and a way of protection ( same for speak... | |
| Yamaha C-4 and Wells Audio Majestic help Feed the Majestic ( or any other integrated amp or preamp ) from the Yamaha’s tape rec out ( I would use tape 1 ), and make sure to switch the Yamaha’s front panel rec out to phono. This bypasses all tone controls, the volume and balance controls,... | |
| Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay. Imabucfan......We have been speaking via PM, but, I want to come out in the open about what I mentioned to you. Without listening, you ordered the Pass pre and Bryston amp. You could have done worse. Maybe not even better at those prices, simply d... | |
| Holy Brightness Batman! Helo.......you are convinced, that is for sure. Always nice exchanging words with you. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Holy Brightness Batman! Speaker designs marketed for older audiophiles ? Really ? Ridiculous. Speakers need brake in time, for sure ( everything does ), and I am assuming these are used, but still might need break in time. Although very clean sounding speakers, they are ... | |
| I have a set of professionally balanced Hafler amps. I need a good preamp for the system I find the Haflers to be on the warm side. Have they had any modifications ? If you buy the Freya ( the + would be my recommendation ), you will need a phono preamp. You might want to consider going passive ( I have ). The Freya gives you that opt... | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV 10 db of bass ?....= 10 hz of bass. Guys ( and gals ). You need to look at some of the pro versions of the Heresy’s..........again, nothing new with the ported design, except for the port itself. R.D. had much to do with the design of the pro mode... |
