| CD transport warmup If your unit is truly 'off' your situation would be normal, I think, IME anyway. But I've never used this unit. If it does not totally shut off, but goes into a standby mode, I don't know, you'd think that is what a standby mode is for. Personall... | |
| Dynaudio customer service ignoring me A little history, FWIW. Many years ago Dynaudio was selling drivers to the general public. At the same time they were selling their own speakers. They discovered that a lot of speaker designers/makers were using their drivers, quite successfully a... | |
| Beethoven Complete Works boxed set recommendations Too many excellent choices (for me at least - I've got/had a lot of them). In recent years I found myself listening more often to Bernstein's set on DG than others available, and more recently the set issued set by Blomstedt on Accentus Music. F... | |
| Soltek Tubes I think you meant SOVTEK. These were very nice new production tubes. They were discontinued several years ago and are pretty much unavailable now. (I still use them in a Primaluna amp.) | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers rrm, Your room dimensions are close to identical to mine. Our set up is a bit different in that my speakers are 5 1/2’ from the back wall and I listen on axis about 9 ft back (about 4 1/2 ft from the wall behind the chair . I’ve minimized side wal... | |
| Reasons not to freak out about tube supplies FWIW Victor Khomenco sez the problem has been solved and Russian tubes will be available. Posted on Audio Asylum on 3/16. | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers I erred. First time this month! :-) Its a FOZ by Black Ice not Fusion | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers rrm, I've been giving some thought to things that you might do to 'improve' your soundstage, but nothing I've come up with can create the outside of your speakers soundstage which you initially indicated that you wanted to obtain. Others have dis... | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers Mahgister, What a rude post! Who really knows what you hear in your room besides yourself and I fail to see anything in soix’s post that comments on you or your subjective beliefs. Some of what you have set forth in this thread and some others I’... | |
| Limited soundstage between speakers In-phase signals will appear between your two speakers. Out of phase signals will appear outside the speakers. Speaker placement can cause 1st reflection points to create bounce off walls etc and this can/will create a sense of a wider sound stage... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? Bobbydd, re comments on ’stuff between speakers’, even though Jim Smith sez so it ain’t necessarily so. For example if you listen to your speakers toed in so that the axis crosses in front of your listening position there is a fair amount of signa... | |
| Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much? OP is right I think. It is hard and complex, but the end result is usually worth the effort. Many folks have yet to hear a properly set up system so they have no point of comparison. Flying blind so to speak. Took me years to get it drilled down a... | |
| Frequency Response 45hz could be adequate for most music if the frequency response is flat at 45 hz and started to roll off at that frequency. I doubt that it is but you must factor in the roll off when doing comparisons. Some speakers that say they go to 45 hz actu... | |
| Equalizer connection question If your equalizer also has a tape loop make sure it is not engaged. That could be your problem. BTW I like putting equalizers in the tape loop - if nothing else it allow you to disengage it without disconnecting it and is less likely to degrade t... | |
| any thoughts? I owned the Cal for many years - nice unit but nothing special. I now have the Audio Lab 6000 - it is a better unit. BTW if the Delta fails you can't get a replacement laser for it. |
