| Knowing Nothing About Capacitance... The sound with the Denon should be slightly brighter and more forward than optimum. The degree to which this appears depends on the rest of your system, your set up, and your expectations. I had a control on my pre-amp which allowed me to change t... | |
| Good way to connect 2 subs? I agree with Tvad.Still have that hum I see. I doubt that the way you had connected the sub caused your hum though. You will find out when you change it. Assuming it does not I would suggest that you attack the hum issue more aggressively by unplu... | |
| My new room is 8 x 16 x 32, what to do? FWIW most empty rooms with out domestic furnishings such as rugs, drapes, pictures, furniture, etc will have echo slap. Don't let that overly concern you. Apart from room induced nodes in the bass created by room dimensions, most of your room prob... | |
| Clarinet Music on vinyl or CDs You didn't indicate an interest in jazz, but should that interest you Ken Peplowski and his quartet have a bunch of recordings of laid back jazz on Concord Jazz. A couple that I enjoy are "It's a Lonsome Old Town" and includes Charlie Byrd, Marian... | |
| Clarinet Music on vinyl or CDs David Shifrin and Carol Rosenberger recreate the Brahms/Schumann Soiree in the home of Clara Schumann and play the Brahms Clarinet Sonatas op120, no 1 and 2, as well as Schumanns Fantasiestucke op 73. Delos 3025. An absolutely delightful performan... | |
| What Silenced the Ground Loop? All hums are not from ground loops. That you hum varies with volume suggests to me that it is not a 'ground loop' hum. Your RCA's output connections themselves may be causing a hum, or the tubes in the center two positions may be inducing a hum. D... | |
| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? Tvad, FWIW I think your definition of 'musician' might be a bit narrow, especially in view of how it's defined in my dictionary, i.e. a composer or performer of music and as an alternative a performer esp of instrumental music. Re Robert Johnson's... | |
| my take on blind tests I think we aught to have a contest with a large "Randy" type award going to the person who can in a short period of time ID what is going on with two similar products over the entire bandwidth. Its relatively easy to hear broad dips or bulges spre... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I've got nothing against Mc's and their sound, but I do have a question. Would their sales suffer much if they no longer had all those pretty blue lights and VU meters?I suspect that audiophiles would recognize their quality for what it is, but th... | |
| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? Leonard Bernstein in classical music. He was aConductorComposerMusicianTeacher and a very public advocate of classical music written in America. In jazz I'd have to agree with other's nomination of Johnson, Armstrong and Ellington for their roles ... | |
| Volume issue Sorry, haven't got a clue. I doubt that they are retailed by B&M stores. | |
| Volume issue If there is a degredation in the signal from the insertion of a Rothwell 10db attenuator I really don't hear it. It is after all just a single resistor (encased in a rlug with male and female RCA's) put in the line. You place it at the amp and the... | |
| Volume issue The efficiency of your speakers may be too high for more flexibility with the output gain of the SP10. You can do two things. 1) Engage the switch on the front panel which lowers the gain of incoming signals 6db. 2)Or put in a fix attenuator, like... | |
| What makes instrument immediacy, -separation & -bo "What do you think..."I think you may not have optomized your speaker/room set up/interface with any of the speakers you have mentioned. JMHO based on your comments. | |
| Need integrated for Tyler linbrook Signature I also have the Signatures and I am using both the Raysonic 128 and the Wadia 302 as sources I have been quite happy with both a Cayin A100T and a Paragon Three/Five pre-amp/amp combo. Both are very responsive to tube changes. I've only had the Ca... |
