| How to hook up 2 amps from one set of pre outs? you can add another set of main outputs on your preamp, if there is room. | |
| Can I improve tonality and keep room the same? the easiest change is to replace the outlaw audio interconnects. i owned two pair. i don't any more.i suggest you audition cables--speaker and interconnect to see if the improvemnt you desire can come from a change in cables. | |
| magnepan 1.6 subwoofer recomendations try to find a panel sub, such as an enigma, or tympani 1 d bass panel.i have a pair of 1.6s and am reluctant to try a sub. i also own quad unlimited quad 57s. i would be reluctant to use a sub with the quads, as well.what i have found, is that a h... | |
| Best tube amp $2000-2500? consider some of the older amps, such as cj mv 45, mv 75 or mv 125. you could also consider some of the older cary or audio research amps as well. | |
| The Room, not us, determines our speaker choices hi magnumpi:i have been to ces for 16 years. i have noticed certain speaker systems consistently sound good, in spite of bad rooms. most manufacturer's blame the room, when, often it is the equipment."a bum mechanic blames his tools". a poor speak... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- you believe that accuracy is the pinnacle of sonic excellence and enjoy suffering the sound of a pooor quality recording because you believe it is indicative of a high quality audio system.if you admit to being an audiophile you need therapy--audi... | |
| Proper Toe-in Configuration i own a pair of magnepan 1.6 and recently acquired a pair of quads unlimited quad 57s.i am the speakers toward the side walls, which are treated with a sound-absorbing material, in order to change the frequency response. since there is some absorp... | |
| The Room, not us, determines our speaker choices soundstage is over rated. i lived with tympany 1b's for 14 years, with no soundstage width. the speakers did not disappear. it was a wall of sound. the instruments sounded realistic.i heard the mg 20 when it was first introduced at ces, in the Gol... | |
| Proper Toe-in Configuration you assume all speakers should be toed in or be placed parallel to the wall behind it.i prefer speakers toed out. | |
| The Room, not us, determines our speaker choices i don't agree. i find a less-than-optimal set up of panel speakers preferred over most cone designs.if i like a speaker, i would rather own it, than a speaker that i don't like that mates well with a room.as an example, an mg 20.1 in a small room ... | |

| Where does fatique come from? listening to music can be relaxing if one listens for pleasure rather than to assess the sound quality of a recording or stereo system.perhaps superficial listening is a way of avoiding fatigue. if your nerves aren't firing to much to begin with, ... | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around hi tvad:thank you for reminding me to be objective.my point regarding the difference between solid state and tube amps is that there is a sonic signature which is evident when listening to solid state amps, which makes it possible to identify the ... | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around in the context of current production tube amps, perhaps, excluding low wattage sets, a ss amp which does not evince the objectionable characteristics ascribed to the sound of transistors, would connote a tube-like sound.the "modern tube" design mo... | |
| Where does fatique come from? fatigue, in the neurological sense occurs after one reaches the adaptation level--sorry, you may need to go to the psychology books.essentially, the rate of firing of neurons decreases to the extent that one's ability to differentiate is severely ... |
