| Wattage 4 or 8 ohms? Not being entirely sure by what is meant by 'peaks increasing expotentially' and for the benefit of others facing a decision about how much power is needed, consider this as a rough guide. Assuming you anticipate that the average sound pressure le... | |
| Tripods as turntable or component base? IMHO the real reason that a tripod (vs a 'quadpod') is better is that it is just easier and faster to obtain set up and a horizontal plane. If you think it is actually 'better', try sitting something on it which is not balanced weight wise and see... | |
| anyone use the parasound jc2 with primaluna monos? FWIW, a question. Do you have the Parasound and are considering the Primaluna's or do you have the Primaluna's and are considering the Parasound? In either event, with this specific combination, I suspect that you could find a better match. Nothin... | |
| Best sounding Beethoven symphony LPs Well I have some recommendations for complete boxed sets, but right up-front, I like my Beethoven clean, clear lined, and energized. I'm not up to deep, 'brooding' Beethoven.Harnoncourt's set which blends the efect of the HIP but uses modern instr... | |
| Does impedance matter? Shadorne, Nothing wrong with what you suggest but what if someone doesn't like the 'sound' of SS amps, normally used by manufacturers in thier powered speakers? And, who sez that anything about this hobby, other than marketing and product pricing,... | |
| Wattage 4 or 8 ohms? The difference between the power out put between 100 and 200 wts, everything else being equal, is 3db. If that is the threshold where you and distinguish clear differences in SPL's then you are correct. But if you have the ability to discern small... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years Shadorne, Consider that the 'obvious' that Mr T refers to may be nothing more that what he said in that post. He is telling us how he feels, what his opinion is. Nothing more or less. He doesn't like cone speakers. Cone speakers have faults. Peopl... | |
| Looking for great violin CDs in solo. YoYoMa = cello. Does that open up possibiities for you. Here is a quick recommendation of a cheap Naxos recording of very enjoyable/romantic music -Virtuoso Cello Encores, Maria Kliegel & Raimund Havenith Naxos - One of my favorite compilation... | |
| great sounding cds to audition new speakers Shadrone - Sorry about the moniker confusion. :-) FWIW, I think we were on different wave lengths so I might well have been talking about a non-existent poster in the thread. | |
| great sounding cds to audition new speakers I don't have a clue what type of music you listen to most so I'll spare you another arbitrary recommendation. But some of the comments above are excellent and I will try to add to them.What I used to test speakers (in my home) are chosen from the ... | |
| Looking for great violin CDs in solo. Recordings of Violin and Piano (I'm unaware of any solo violin recordings) which I enjoy and would fit into your description would include -Kyung Wha Chung "Con Amore" on LondonVirtuso Vengerov on TeldecHomage to Sarasate by Rachel Barton and Samu... | |
| suggestions on musical score. I think you will find what you are looking for in a live performance of a Mahler Symphony, perhaps the 5th, 6th, or 1st. If you are not familar with his music, buy or borrow a CD first (a good idea anyway) before you spend the big bucks to go to a... | |
| The Next Level I can recall two times when I reached the plateau you have described. The first was when I was driving towards my career apex but had a very mundane system (I don't even remember what) because who has time for that 'audiophile stuff'. I was just b... | |
| Wattage 4 or 8 ohms? Dmitry....You may detect a sonic difference between the two taps, depending on the design of the speakers and your ears/expectations. You should try both taps and simply pick the one that sounds best to you playing the music you enjoy hearing. You... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? FWIW, the best times I spent with a TT was when (in the late 70's) I had a Technic's 1350 TT Quartz DD with a Grace 9E. Looked great and played records just fine. Lots of great analog nites. Then I read about high end belt driven TT's and MC cartr... |
