| Musical Concepts amplifier modifications upgrades Not ICE, but IEC, the power cord inlet. And yes, wonderful work from him. | |
| Anyone have this kind of problem with their amp? Not familiar with this unit, but looking at photos posted on this unit, does the design incorporate output relays ? The problem described, ime, sounds like this might be the issue, as relays have a notorious history of failing. Or an output curren... | |
| Music in multiple rooms By using the fixed output of the Rogue into the Yamaha, you will have independent volume control of the Yamaha with the other 2 sets of speakers being driven by it. Using the variable preout of the Rogue, the Yamaha will be dependent on the volume... | |
| Unexpectedly low volume with Schiit Saga + Vidar Not just a different set, but a more efficient set. However, I do not recommend buying speakers for this reason. If you like a particular pair of speakers, there are always matching products to get you there ( in your case with the Maggies, a prea... | |
| Unexpectedly low volume with Schiit Saga + Vidar The typical output voltage of most sources today, is about 2 volts. I use a passive unit ( no gain stage ), but my speakers are very high sensitivity, so passive gives me plenty of output and drive, between any amps I run, from my sources ( I pref... | |
| Unexpectedly low volume with Schiit Saga + Vidar Look into the Freya units, as they offer a gain stage ( 12 db I believe, which is gain = 4 ). | |
| Unexpectedly low volume with Schiit Saga + Vidar My understanding of the Saga +, it is a zero gain device, offering passive output, meaning, the source is driving the amplifier. You have a choice between passive, and passive with a buffer, used for driving longer cables, and helping with impedan... | |
| Direct or Reflect ... What's your flavor Eric......If I may......Bose 901s are not ambient reflectors, as 89% of their output was purposely sent to the back wall. Then you have speakers designed by Stewart Hegeman, and all of the manufacturers who use his design ( s ), ( look them up ). ... | |
| Vertical bi amping Mcintosh MC275 and Rotel RB-1582 MkII What you are describing to do is horizontal biamping ( passively ), and George, is correct. However, I feel both amplifiers have enough sound character differences between one another, that you may find a discontinuity in sq between the woofers an... | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System Miller, you have much to say about many subjects. The way movie soundtracks are produced, you would need a minimum of 5 discreet channels, not including the subs. You do not have a decoder, a center channel, nor rear channels. You have an elaborat... | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System Miller, I might be missing something here, but, if home theater is part of this package, other than the screen, I do not see it. As far as I can tell, I am with Ozzy on this. This is a 2 channel audio system, not a home theater system. | |
| Truly High Efficiency, High Quality, Nearfield Usable, Affordable Speakers, Do They Exist? A pair of Klipsch Heresy 3s will do the job very well. If out of the price range, a pair of series 2s would also be a good fit. I would be happy to discuss a few low cost modifications to get them to the next level. The natural bass roll off would... | |
| Roger Waters-Amused to Death mijostyn....+1........how about that explosion.......I enjoy all of RW's recordings, as it is an insight to who Waters is. EC on Hitchhiking is as wonderful. Just like audio gear, people enjoy different things, musically. | |
| 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. |
