| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? I have never heard these speakers nor have I read a thorough review by a competent independent reviewer. The only concern I would have to satisfy before I would consider a purchase is their claimed ability to deliver full bass (at realistic listen... | |
| recommended redbook classics Gammejo, before making any more recommendtations, a rhetorical question. As opposed to spending more money buying a better(?) recorded performance of the stuff with which you are familiar, why not explore other music by your already favorite compo... | |
| recommended redbook classics I started a lengthy response of my favorite performances ala Gregm - but I find I have a really hard time remembering the quality of the sonics which I infer from your post is extremely important to you. I have boiled down my recommendations to th... | |
| noise ..noise..noise.. FWIW TWL and Gmood1's comments seem to be nearly on point....However I cannot tell exactly what you is doing with this integrated unit when you say "I try using it as a direct amp.....try it as an int amp"..... Could you elaborate for me. Are you ... | |
| Tyler Acoustics Linbrook system II FWIW I have the Linbrook Signature System (one piece version). I can drive it with any of my PP tube amps, including a 35wt amp. The speaker's sound reflects the quality of the amp driving it, but even the 35wt amp does an excellent job considerin... | |
| Need help from Pass X-600 + ARC Ref 2 MK1 user The in-line attenuator that I was referring to is made by Rothwell. It is, in essesence, a resisor that is placed within an adaptor that you plug into your amp and then plug your I/C into it. You can buy these on line. They reduce the pre-amp outp... | |
| Need help from Pass X-600 + ARC Ref 2 MK1 user Nope. Not implying anything. I'm sure your X600 is probably just fine and the match up may be fine as well, just that the noise could be normal. I thought you might just be new to tube pre-amps. Continuing on that assumption....Tube pre-amps in ge... | |
| Need help from Pass X-600 + ARC Ref 2 MK1 user Well, here's another dumb observation....If you are listening to noise with your ear near the tweeter/midrange and if your amp has a highish imput sensitivity you might just be listening to the noise floor of your amp, or its tubes. When I crank u... | |
| Need help from Pass X-600 + ARC Ref 2 MK1 user Dumb question time. Have you tried using a cheater plug on the amp? | |
| Speaker for Threshold amp and preamp Well, you've heard some good speakers that you can't be sure that you would like. Whether you like speakers a depends largly on how they integrate with your room and the electronics you use to drive them. So my question, rhetorical if you like, is... | |
| Speaker/Amp Impedence Interface....... Tom, thanks for you comments...now for a laugh at my expense! The speakers I was using were 4 ohms nominal and I never thought to do the obvious, try the 8 ohm taps. Shouldn't really work right? Well the bass is a little softer but the mids and hi... | |
| Subwoofer Isolation, what do you think... Since Barry asked for some clarity about my post.....My focus was on the effect of airborne vibrations. I think TWL appreciated my intent. But I'm not sure that I can totally agree with (or perhaps appreciate) all of the discussion since my post. ... | |
| Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used? On Audiogon - dammed if I know. He used to have a site on Audiogon, but I can't find it now. HOWEVER!!!!!! Go to Audio Asylum - Rives is listed as a sponsor where he has all his products and a forum. Down load his Cara program - this should do it ... | |
| Subwoofer Isolation, what do you think... The problems you may experience are more likely to be with airborne vibrations. I don't think that you will benefit much from further floor isolation under your sub. Your turntable, perhaps. Generally it is best to place your turntable (and other ... | |
| Speaker for Threshold amp and preamp This combo will drive most reasonable speakers. The questions for you are - How big is your room? What type of music do you listen to? How loud do you listen? How much time and effort are you willing to spend on proper set up? Do you have any soni... |
