| 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... | |
| Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used? Cinematic Systems, Does this EFT devise measure things like width, height, and depth of image? Does it measure intensity of reflections from the rooms surfaces? Or does it just measure frequency response (not that that is a bad thing to do)? | |
| Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used? Don't forget the program for setting up specific brands of speakers in various sized rooms on the Rives site. I have found that it is a better starting point than Cardas but both are just starting points. Its easy to get the initial triangle set u... | |
| Tweaks That Don't Work Aggielaw, I see this as a very rational request and wish that it could be implemented without rancor, but I just don't see how. My latest successfully implemented tweak will always be someone else's snake oil. And I'll likely think you lack perspe... | |
| Where to place room treatment? Front and back wall treatments are usually best treated with a materiel that is diffusive as opposed to absorbtive, but much depends on the types of speakers you are using, their proximity to the walls, the location of your listening seat, and the... | |
| Speaker/Amp Impedence Interface....... Thanks for the responses. Now time for the dumb question! Would a rise in output impedence from an amp which resulted in a loss of damping as suggested by both Sean and Tom cause a loss of control of the bass driver resulting in a loss of apparent... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? Rod, Just for clarification, I was referring to the Technic's SP 10, the Kenwood from the L series (07?) and I forgot to mention the Nakamichi Dragon, which could even compensate for off center holes in LP's. You asked for the Best with no indicat... |
