| cd plays without preamp Rcme53 - from what you describe, it appears that the volume control is only acting as a rheostat to attenuate the incoming signal and that the preamp provides for only unity gain, if any active gain at all. I suppose that the tone control could al... | |
| Best amp under $6k, in your opinion? As far as list - Mcintosh MC 252; as far as used MC 402 | |
| Removing the ground on PC? Cheating out the ground may get rid of the hum but the problem isn't that you have a grounded chassis. The way to address the problem is to find the cause and address the cause. As Carl109 pointed out that the 'fix' of cheating out the ground has ... | |
| Best short-lived band? The Zombies or The Fugs. By the way, was watching a rerun of the Johnny Cash show the other day - Derek and the Dominos was one of the guests- and they did a tune with Carl Perkins , Johnny Cash, and Eric Clapton playing side by side. | |
| cd plays without preamp Are there tone controls on your preamp, or a method of selecting different sources? If there are and these work then I would agree that perhaps the unit is actually on. If not (and you could always just unplug to to eliminate that possibility) wit... | |
| Holographic imaging Newbee: nice rational statement. By the way, I noticed on your system page that you don't list your cables, cable lifters, power cord, outlets, or interconnects. Does this provide a window into your views on the great necessity of spending thousan... | |
| Holographic imaging Surely this is a matter of the emperor's new clothes. That was my point with the doppler shift argument. Another classic example of taking a scientifically established effect and then either playing with the definition, as in this case, or taking ... | |
| How different between B&W 804s & B&W 805s???? Ngocdj: I run my main system with an MC402 and, for my ears , there is Mcintosh, and then there's everything else. You mentioned the MC6600. One thing to check on is whether Mcintosh uses their autoformer with that model. I know that Mcintosh did,... | |
| Digital XLR vs. Analog XLR - Balanced Cables The analog vs digital XLR cable construction, materials etc are not going to make any difference - if indeed there is any difference in construction. As to carrying digital signals are not going to introduce jitter with the cable. Other than compa... | |
| Holographic imaging Tvad: Thanks for the heads up. I had not noticed that he was selling wares connected with his theories. Certainly explains the explanations. | |
| How different between B&W 804s & B&W 805s???? I have heard the MC6900 driving both and it is a good match either way you go. Both the 804 and 805 are nice speakers. There is something to be said for the two way design and I would not agree that 3 way floorstanders are always better than books... | |
| Holographic imaging Roger paul: There is no confusion. What you initially described is not doppler shift and your analogy and most recent explanation is contrived, at best. You are not describing doppler shift. My suspicion is that this adherence to an obviously inco... | |
| Holographic imaging The problem with the amplifier doppler shift theory is that it hinges on a redefinition of the term "doppler shift." At least in science, terms have precise meanings, almost always defined mathematically. Redefining the terms renders the terms mea... | |
| Holographic imaging Doppler effect ? What is moving ? Were the instruments and musicians on wheels during the recording or were the mikes? Of is it during the playback - I picture speakers on motorized wheels careening first toward the listener and then shifting into... | |
| Jeff Rowland 501s burn in ... a strange experience Nothing having to do with the JR 501's underwent any permanent or long lasting change from about 10 seconds after you powered it up to 6 hours later, or for that matter, till now. If it did, then the equipment is poorly designed. Since that compan... |
