| Room size too big for Sub?? My gut reaction is that your problem is not so much the capacity of the sub to produce sufficient volume in your room, but the accoustics of your room itself. You may have a substantial suck out in the low bass due to room placement, location of t... | |
| Huge sound stage Lkdog, I didn't mean to confuse you.....The key here is 'properly set up' meaning that you have, for example, minimized your reflection points and are hearing the direct sounds from the speakers from the sweet spot. When you have set up your speak... | |
| Are some tracks impossible to track? Analog playback is full of compromises. Even assuming proper set up, different cartridges and stylus have strengths and limitations and the ability to track a highly modulated groove is one of them, and perhaps the most common. Some of the best so... | |
| Using integrated as headphne amp: tape in or aux? Couple of things - as a practical matter its a moot point whether or not you use the tape or aux input, you really can't use the tape in for whatever reason. Your only pratical recourse is to use the aux input which would be the same as any other ... | |
| Huge sound stage Since you didn't ID your old stuff its hard to answer your question except in general terms, but you did say something which I'm not sure I have ever experienced in a properly operating system (not to throw water on your experience). In a general ... | |
| i'm looking for a dull 12ax7 and 12au7, ideas? I just noticed your other similar post looking for a CD player. Why don't you just buy a 10 band equalizer? Then you can tailor the sound of the system to your hearts content? The only thing you might loose sonically by putting an equalizer in you... | |
| Dual CS508 generates hum If its only humming in one channel, and when you reverse the IC's from pos to neg & visa versa the hum follows the change from channel to channel the problem is either in the IC's or quite probably a loose connector attached to the cartridge p... | |
| Where to find quality "stock" power cords Try your local 'electronics' store (not stereo store) and get some heavy guage Belden cords. They are cheap and good. | |
| Tyler Signature System versus Merlin VSM-MM Jerrym303, The FWIW department, I'm just a Tyler Signature System owner..........Bobby P has given you a huge clue - These speakers will sound nothing alike, in any room. Apples v Oranges and that is apart from the additional issues of the driving... | |
| LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ? If you mean by larger sweet spot, the ability of someone sitting to either side of the sweet spot to get a good sense of soundstaging width etc, and not just hear mostly the speaker in front of them.........Before you venture out to get new speake... | |
| Need guidence on Tube amp repair..... Forgive the dumb question. Have you checked the fuse? | |
| Insurance All you need is a homeowners policy, preferably with replacement cost coverage. I'm not aware of any company requiring a special rider to cover audio equipment, but best to ask your agent. Do take photos and keep receipts for all your stuff. Insur... | |
| Tube Suggestions Onix SP3 What a winner! And you bought it used. Many dealers/manufacturers would not even have talked to you except to say send it in, we'll fix it, and you'll pay for it! Hope the new one works for you. | |
| Silver vs Copper cables Brianmgrarcom (and any others who have the expertise), You have referred to some folks using cables as tone controls as opposed to seeking something else, I assume you are referring to neutrallity and transparency/resolution.Can you identify a set... | |
| Transformer Hum Stevecham, What do you mean when you say Newbee's "solution" will not work in every case? I think you may have missed the penultimate paragraph. Isn't that exactly what you did to solve your problem (in part), install a line filter? :-) :-) Jeeze,... |
