| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Mapman, Recalling an earlier conversation that we had on the subject of imaging of Ohms, omni's, and conventional speakers, FWIW I set up my conventional speakers so that the tweeter axis crosses in front of the listener position on about the same... | |
| Has any had experiecne with the MF 550k superchar? David, You are right. I was operating off a poor memory. Sorry I was off topic Warren. I'll be more careful in the future. | |
| Analog Noob: I have a few questions Dawgcatching, I'm not sure if I can add much, but regarding the supremacy of analog to digital at $1200 price range, that is an unquestionably foolish statement made by someone with more ego than sensibility or experience. In fact I'd guess that m... | |
| Who was your first Detlof,Detlof, FWIW, I think we share a 'personal taste' in jazz.A question. Is Chet singing music an oxymoron? I wasn't part of the jazz culture when he was on the scene. Who was his audience? I enjoyed his trumpet playing some, but then he would... | |
| Has any had experiecne with the MF 550k superchar? Warrenh, Perhaps the MF unit is (was) not moving because of its cost if nothing else. Its original price of 5K was a bit steep. Consider that Nelson Pass developed a very similar devise for less than half as much. Perhaps that is why MF has reduce... | |
| Analog Noob: I have a few questions I started to creat a long post about analogue, but instead let me ask a simple question. Are you up to speed on how much effort is involved in getting and setting up a good analogue system? It is a lot of work and a long learning process. Analogue... | |
| Who was your first Not sure whether it was Bill Evan's (Trio) Debbie, or Oscar Peterson's (Trio) We Get Requests. In either event it was a great place to start and has anchored a lot of my jazz preferences. | |
| $3000: upgrade Tyler Linbrooks or amplification? Stltrains, I'll be looking forward to hearing about the D1's, especially since you will have the LLS' on hand for an A/B comparison. I suspect from the generalized description that Ty may have made a couple of important changes. They sure look bet... | |
| can a tube-o-phile be happy with ss? Here is my experience.....Bought a SS amp - didn't like the way it sounded, so I bought another, didn't like it so much either, so I bought another, ditto, ditto, etc.Then I bought a tube amp! Almost wonderful - bought some different tubes. Differ... | |
| $3000: upgrade Tyler Linbrooks or amplification? Can you improve the 'sound' of the Tyler's? Absolutely, but they aren't that bad and unless you have some specific goal you can do a lot worse for more money. I had a problem, I had a goal, and I moved up successfully. But, when I bought the Tyler... | |
| Sansui TU-9900 vrs Magnum Dynalab MD-90T I don't know if this is an issue for you, but do consider that many recommendations that are made here will be made more on the basis of the technical performance associated with receiving and processing signals than the quality/tone of the tuner ... | |
| Solid State Preamp recommendation for $2500? Re tube pre-amps, premium (tested for low noise) tubes can make all the difference between noise or silence. I have a bunch of tubed pre-amps and none of them make noise at 15' and most are dead quiet until you put you ear an inch or two from the ... | |
| Preamp gain question If you are looking for consensus, I agree with Photon46.I think the Rothwells are an elegant solution for the money involved and that most folks with ordinary 'high fi' systems and are mere mortals here will will not detect their presence. If you ... | |
| Speaker Help Required Before you buy floorstanders try moving the low pass to 50hz and move the sub woofer out of the corner as much as you can, towards the left speaker, if possible until it is nearly behind your left speaker, and see what happens. With a sub XO at 50... | |
| Slight "Crackling" noise in right channel of amp Yep, sounds like you might have a tube failure in the right channel. Those tubes were supposed to last for 100K hours I think, but that doesn't mean they won't fail pre-maturely. It might also be a cap or something, but 'tube' is so logical. I'm s... |
