| rebiasing from 4 to 8 ohms? No. Biasing the amps has nothing to do with which taps you choose to power your speakers. | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Sean, IMHO you are not wrong. I've a good friend who is an astro physicist (he is a dept head at an major University and is a consultant for NASA). Even though he is not involved in designing devices used for controlling resonances in electronic c... | |
| matching impedances Yes, you will have no problem with this match. | |
| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question First I would build a house with a large room dedicated as a music room - then I would build a system based on large Electrostats such as Sound labs - then I would obtain the components which best matched the Sound Labs and produced a very neutral... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Interesting post by Roy of GMA on the effectiveness of cones in dealing with resonances in the thread "Green Mountain Europa hupe" - sez that cones don't damp or transmit many vibrations.........This from a well educated designer involved in makin... | |
| Best Recording of Scheherazade Megasam's list is excellent - While I can't add anything meaningful to the list, I would highly encourage you to own Beecham's. It is a thing of beauty. Reiner & Kondrashin are equally excellent and, interpretively speaking fall between Beecha... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Sean, Can you explain to the village idiot (me) how reducing the strength of vibrations by allowing them to "drain" to ground can cause an increase of gain such as experience by Tom. A 50% increase in gain from the previous setting is not insubsta... | |
| Best Orchestral Film Scores When in time does "Modern Day" begin? Many of the best film scores are by Korngold, Rosza, Bernstein etc, but they may be out of your time frame. | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Theaudiotweak, In all candor, this claim about the use of your product resulting in an increase in gain (and especially gain at select frequencies)is what really causes me to question the validity of the product - this is to me the proverbial red ... | |
| Jolida JD-100A Tube Rolling Nealhood, Its not your ears - I used this tube for a while and agree that its is best used in a low res system. The Sovtek 12AX7LPS is a much better tube (don't get old ones - they had some reliability problems (at least mine did). | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Wow! I don't know how I missed this thread. Sean, FWIW, I think your have covered the matter well. What I don't understand is, instead of a money back guarantee, why don't they send these devises out to the reviewers/labs for some independent (hop... | |
| No Budget Amp? With out knowing you budget or speakers its hard to make a meaning ful recommendation. But, what the hell - the best "budget" amp I've see about that will drive most reasonable speakers and sound quite good (I use it in a secord system) is a Muse ... | |
| The obsession, the trees. The music, the forest. Subaruguru, Don't stop re-leveling your CDP unless your also stop releveling your amp, pre amp and speakers otherwise you will lose the synergy between your components you worked so hard to set up. :-) By the way, unless you are willing to wear th... | |
| Jolida JD-100A Tube Rolling Russ, Detail and warmth are sort of competetitive - its tough to get both in any piece of equipment, including tubes, especially at any nominal expense. I'm not familar with your electronics, but I use 12ax7's in 2 of my DAC's and in one of my pre... | |
| Considering HDCD players I have an unmodified BAT and like Hepl I haven't enuf HDCD disc's to make it worthwhile for that function alone. The reason I bought it was basically I agreed with those who felt that the chip that facilitated the HDCD decoding also was superior w... |
