| Speaker design myths revealed I'm not an expert on speaker design, but I can assure you of one thing - several of these questions and answers would certainly disinterest me in this man's designs. For the life of me I can't even imagine an infinitely large baffle - for a home s... | |
| hilary hahn..violinist My guess is that she is one of several young players who will still be around 10 years from now. She is very good, but who knows how she will develope. As it is now I don't think she has come close to equaling any of the greats in the pieces that ... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? For vintage DD tables, Technic's and Kenwood come immediatly to mind. Both are hard to come by (in excellent condition anyway) and the Kenwood is hard to find and fairly expensive. But, then you knew that........ | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? This will not resolve the (again) growing format dispute on this thread, however FWIW, IMHO, there are great silient LP's out there, new and old, and a lot of noisy LP's, of revered musical performances and audiophile junk. Ditto on CD's. The only... | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? Psychicanimal, And that difers from pop music, how. Is pop music in all its various forms (including smooth jazz!) being composed and recording by rich philantropists? 95% crap with a few gems thrown in just to keep you interested and coming back,... | |
| Only three manufacturers? Much overhyped, IMHO (I'm an ex Thiel owner as well as a user of Quad's). But if you think you can hear the difference, its important to you, and you like the sound that these speakers bring to your room, why not! | |
| Spikes versus wall coupling TWL, Maybe its because the sand is wet? Did you consider that. Your friend should loose some weight, for his health sake, if nothing else. :-) BTW when you and Tom are asking these kind of questions and/or making observations about a competitors p... | |
| Re-biasing a CJ Premier 8 Fernando, I don't know where you are getting your price quotes, but I just check the web site of Triode Electronic's. He is selling matched quads of SED (the old Svetlana brand) for 95.90. According to my calculations that would bring the cost of ... | |
| What about a product can irritate you? Mechanical noise, unnecessary lights that can't be defeated, unusual output/input connector fittings and products furnished without a schematic. | |
| PrimaLuna One, interconnects,cables,power chords I put in some NOS Tesla E34L's (power tubes) built in the late 80's/early 90's, but I haven't tried similar vintage Tesla EL34's yet, but from past experience I suspect they would sound much the same. That brightened my One up quite a bit. Added t... | |
| Re-biasing a CJ Premier 8 Since you are just starting out with these amps, I would suggest the Svetlana (SED) flying C. They are very reliable and produce a fairly balanced tone. The KT90's may have tighter bass and maybe a bit brighter tone - my biggest reservation is abo... | |
| PrimaLuna One, interconnects,cables,power chords New Old Stock. Means that they are tubes that have not been used but are no longer in production. Unfortunately many tube sellers on the internet apply this designation to any old tube, used or not. Caveat emptor. | |
| PrimaLuna One, interconnects,cables,power chords I have a hard time justifying spending a lot of money on cable, PC and I/C just to improve this amp's "sparkle and transparency" (not that you need my justification). One of its biggest attractions for me is it's price/performance ratio. What I wo... | |
| New Condo, time to downsize?? If you are just into CD's, I probably get a CDP with analog volume control and connect it directly into a medium powered triode amp connected to some small(er) floor standing speakers dynamic speakers with efficiencies in the 90's and a relatively... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music If you can hear the effect of the sub woofer in any substantive way you may have it set up improperly. In a music system the only time you should hear the effect of a sub woofer is on very deep notes and you will get a little added warmth in the m... |
