| please help with new purchase Personally, I'd get the Rega. Its a good starting point. You won't have too much invested if you find the hassle of vinyl is too much for you. If you really enjoy the sound of vinyl and the music available to you in that medium, you can always upg... | |
| Dual Banana lPlugs All of my speakers have had uniform spacing, but not all of my amps. Hard to make a universal statement though. | |
| what is a high end component ? A high end component is any component I can't afford to buy! :-) | |
| Expectations low, listening pleasure high. Goatwuss, It's an interesting trip, just don't do it with earphones. My ears are still ringing! :-) | |
| Sub size for 2 channel music in large room 1st things first, your room is not large. As a general proposition the smaller the driver the faster it can respond to changes (i.e. tighter bass). The smaller the driver the easier it is to integrate at a higher crossover lever. A good sub with a... | |
| Measuring speakers You would need some sophisticated equipment and a suitible environment to replicate testing as done in the mag's. As a pratical matter even if you could it wouldn't make much difference in actual use since the room and speaker placement makes a hu... | |
| neutrality & transparency: what's the difference ? While your at it, why don't you also include a definition of 'resolution' and how it differs from 'transparency'. | |
| Biasing amplifiers Bias drift occurs for many reasons, the tubes themselves can cause drift, the condition of the amp, and even its design can cause drift, and the time in use can cause drift.It also depends when you measure - many amps will have bias drift during w... | |
| I hope break in is true Flyski, Why would anyone bother to go thru all of that just to prove a point to some one who sez it doesn't happen, or that it can't happen, that it's all in our head, or at their most gracious have never heard it themselves. Frankly IDGAS what ot... | |
| Tweeters, Scanspeak or Seas Bartockfan, It's Sunday, a slow day for most. Why don't you take a moment to describe your 'hearing sensibilities' so we can all appreciate the value of your post more clearly (not that I necessarily disagree with your conclusion). :-) | |
| Tweeters, Scanspeak or Seas Apples and oranges perhaps but, FWIW, I have the Tylers with the Seas Millenium and in comparison to the Dynaudio tweeter in my other speakers it is a pleasure to listen to CD's with the Millenium whereas the Dynaudio tweeter is far more dependent... | |
| Who makes speakers with relaxed high freq.? Spendors come to mind, as do Tylers which would be my first choice. The Tylers are very detailed and revealing but are not bright. In fact they might err a tad on the warm side of neutral. Look at the Linbrook Monitors, which used, are in your pri... | |
| tape output to drive my amplifier Your tape out has no volume control, it is passing on the signal from your source without adding gain, or reducing it - how do you control the volume your sub produces? You may just happen to be operating your pre-amp at unity gain, that is it is ... | |
| I hope break in is true Break in is a real issue, althought I don't know if it will result in the improvement you are after. I'm breaking in a new CDP, for the first 50 hours it was brittle and dry sounding - all of the notes sweemed to have their endings chopped off. It... | |
| Looking for warmth FWIW, although I agree with Onhwy61 in general, your post doesn't really help me in understanding your needs. You ask for more warmth but I have found that when a lot of folks do that they are in fact confusing warmth (as described by Onhwy61) and... |
