| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Muralman1, I can't dispute what you've heard. Certainly I've not duplicated your experience. FWIW, and not a real comparison, but I'm sure you've heard a stereo system playing 'upstairs'. For those of us who have lived in flats or apartments/condo... | |
| Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube What 6moons review on the Canary CD100? They had it in previews for some time then it dropped off w/out a review. Next thing I see is one for sale by a Canary dealer as a "demo" for $1400 and I did a little fanciful reading between the lines. | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Muralman1, I agree, and then some. The real thing is the only thing! No audio system will ever come close, not by a great margin, to ever reproducing the dynamics and power of a grand piano. Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been listening to mu... | |
| Tyler PD80 power cables I can't imagine how a very short length of cable will make a difference over what has been selected by Tyler. They don't skimp on parts cost in thier speakers so I imagine Tyler doesn't think so either, but why not give him a call. You are probabl... | |
| Review: Prima Luna Prologue Two Tube amp Larinawong, After much experimentation I ended up using SED (the original and best Svetlana tubes with a 'flying C' logo) and the small tubes are the new EH tubes which I believe are the tubes now supplied by the manufacturer who uses their own lo... | |
| New Tubes- Need Burn-In? Don't know about a Cayin - probably depends on the sound you are after. You will likely hear a fuller and warmer sound with the KT88's and a more linear sound with the 6550's. I'm running KT88's with EH drivers in one amp and 6550's and EI drivers... | |
| New Tubes- Need Burn-In? You must differentiate between SED's and Svetlana's. Present day Svetlana's are nothing more than Sovteks in disguise. The really good Svetlana tubes are now called SED and they are made in St Petersburg. The logo on the tube is a 'flying C'. The ... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Stereophile ranks (in thier component recommendtions) speakers as full range if they are relatively flat from 20hz to 20khz. They have a second category for those that do not which includes speakers which have a 30hz to 20hz response. At least the... | |
| I've all the gears. Whatelse do I need? Chulheekim, It is difficult to tell from your post exactly the kind of help you are looking for. You've got some good stuff and should be able to get some very good 'sounds' from it. Are you still in need of equipment? If so what kind?Assuming you... | |
| Zu on Zu Onhy61, I couldn't agree with you more. I've been following the Zu threads and the claims being made by so many of the 'users' are reminiscent of claims made by users of other 'unusual products' in threads long deleted. Contrary to peaking my inte... | |
| IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER I had this problem for years and in more than one house and with several speakers. I had assumed I had a hearing problem in my right ear (image shifted left). Long story short - it was because of the speaker placements interaction with the rooms a... | |
| Bloated speakers/weight wise I've a pair of Paragon Jubilee/Jems, a two piece three way speaker. 150lb's. Lead lined to reduce cabinet resonances. They produce a very clean signal (Dynaudio drivers) so I imagine the lead lining must work (in conjunction with thier potted in e... | |
| contradictory communication Pabelson, Of course these words mean 'something', its just that one has to work hard to ferret out the meaning being applied by each user. No difference between how people apply modifiers to audio or anything else. Some folks overvalue consistency... | |
| What outlet should I choose..... Sammie, I agree with your last sentence. Personally, I would opt for the less expensive outlet. Unless you have the finest equipment capable of revealing VERY subtle differences in your room, I doubt that you would ever hear a difference, assuming... | |
| Audio Mags/A believer or skeptic? I look at all of the pretty glossy pictures in the 'rags', then I read all of the reviews, then I check all of the internet sites for user comments, and when I've finished all of my research I decide I can't make a decision and go back to my fanta... |
