| Learning about my room and my sound.. Chadnliz, in response to 'what do I do' with a reading. I assume that you mean that once you have moved your speakers and listening position about and have smoothed out the frequency response as much as possible by doing so, then you should consid... | |
| Learning about my room and my sound.. Your not an idiot, but if not already, you may be overwhemed by the task you propose to undertake. Some of us have been lucky enuf to have heard good stuff in an ideal room, properly tuned and set up. That gives us a great basis to evaluate our sy... | |
| CD...then the SACD...all over again Brianmgrarcom, Viridian, and Thedautch. You present such an opportunity to be an equal opportunity asshole...IMHO, if your wanted to hear a REAL jazz singer, not some wanta be, you'd listen more to Shirly Horn. :-) :-) Oh crap, I forgot, she's pro... | |
| How To Improve B&W N802 Bass Response? If your shortage of bass is only at low volumes I'd suggest you install an equalizer or tone control in the tape loop to boost the bass. You can then switch it out when you are listening at higher volumes. Research Fletcher Munson theory re freque... | |
| CD...then the SACD...all over again Eldartford, I've never gotten a satisfactory response to that question whenever I asked it. I assume it's that the producers feel that if you care enuf to by the SACD you're willing to pay the price. Not too much different when you think about it.... | |
| CD...then the SACD...all over again Wow, are you a Patricia Barber fan or what! :-) | |
| Integrated Tube Amp For Soliloquy 5.0 Speakers Rarl, I have the Five as well as the One. I've never heard the Two. I put the Five in my main system with SED KT88's. Its just a tad rich in the bass but, frankly, I've come to love it that way (after repositioning my speakers a little). Go for it. | |
| Integrated Tube Amp For Soliloquy 5.0 Speakers Tpsonic, Doesn't the manufacturer warn against using treatments on tube pins? I seem to recall seeing that in the manual. | |
| Integrated Tube Amp For Soliloquy 5.0 Speakers Primaluna - Well built, not expensive, and idiot proof. Check it out. Oh, BTW, it sounds pretty good too. It errs on the warm side of neutral. Not a bad thing, IMHO. | |
| Tube bias and related ramblings very exciting Too, too, much! ROTFLMAO. Talk about getting educated the hard way.Try calling the techie that fixed your amp. He apparently knew what the bias should be. Next time get an amp with auto bias circuits - that should work for you SS guys.BTW I shower... | |
| Speakers for a first-time separates system? If you can find a pair of used Tyler Linbrook Monitors in your budget range, go for it. These sound much 'larger' than your typical small two way speaker but image just as well. These ARE high end speakers - the quality of sound is such that you w... | |
| Another sign SACD is dying Could someone explain why it costs so much more to produce a SACD than a Redbook CD? That has always been for me the killer. No one who is not an 'audiophile' is going to pay the difference to get an SACD when they don't have the listening skills ... | |
| correct way to turn off tube preamp Dougmc, FWIW I'll take a crack at your questions, but bear in mind these are observational answers, I'm not a 'techie'.1) The circuitry of many pre-amps is not stable when first turned on. Because of this many pre-amps have an auto mute function w... | |

| Graphic Equalizer --Ugh If you have a tape loop, and you are only going to use this EQ on poorly recorded CD's, get something simple and inexpensive, put it in the tape loop and only put it in into the chain when necessary. You are already getting compromised sound with ... |
