| Do CJ's amps project a "V" shaped soundstage? Jkphoto, Perhaps the question or my answer was ambiguous. I assumed that he truly meant "beyond the outside boundries" of his speakers which would have included information coming from the outside of the speaker on the plane of the speakers. I sus... | |
| Do CJ's amps project a "V" shaped soundstage? I don't know what your past experience has been in your set up, however much of the sound which you hear coming from beyond the outside borders of your speakers is the result of out of phase info from/in the recordings itself. In phase information... | |
| Favorite Performances of Russian Compositions Gunbei, One of my favorite Prokofiev disc's combines his Symphony #7 and the Concerto #3 by Leif Ove Andsnes and the Bergen PO led by Ole Kristian Ruud on Simax. Both are performed in a bold romantic style. Not saying its the "best of anything" bu... | |
| Digital vs. Analog a reasoned comparison Rockvirgo, I agree with your post up to the last sentence. I think the format war has much more with those who see audio as a hobby, and those who want to spend their time listening to music. Playing CD's isn't much of a technical challenge. Buy a... | |
| Does such a preamp exist? For you information, unless you have an odd unit, your pre amp does have a gain control with a subtractive position(s), a unity gain position, and a amplified position(s). On my preamp, using an amp with a 1.5v input sensitivity, about 10 o'clock ... | |
| Stress relief for a power amp ? look advise, tks Your logic has led you to the right conclusion. The amp is on full power all the time and is only responding to the strength of the signal you are feeding it. Reducing gain of the source or turning the volume control effect the same end result - l... | |
| amp-preamp considerations. Well, this is a unique experience for me - recommending a SS preamp, but what the hell.....If I had to buy one, and I didn't need a remote, I'd get a used Threshold FET10HL (designed by Nelson Pass, by the way when he owned Threshold). I've seen t... | |
| Silverline La Folia Speakers FWIW I have been interested in these speakers because of their looks and drivers, however he has now come out with the Bolero which, I think, is the SR17 with real bass. Love the look of the speaker even more. I'm now waiting to hear some field re... | |
| amp-preamp considerations. It is very easy to match a SS pre amp with a tube amp - electronic matching is not a problem due to high input impedences of amps and low output impedences of preamps. Its the reverse that can be problematic for some. If you don't want to have a t... | |
| flat speaker quandary Nick, Perhaps if you describe your room, its dimensions, where you have placed your speakers and your listening seat, and describe your floor and wall coverings etc some one can give you some help. I had a similar experience with large panels when... | |
| cable degredation audio/video Perhaps the hum is from your cable box - try disconnecting it and see what happens. Not an unusual problem. | |
| Please help fill in the blanks... Your rug should work quite well. What you are trying to do is to reduce high frequency reflections from the floor. You should also plan to have some type of dispursive/difussion materiels on the 1st reflection points on your side walls, the wall b... | |
| Please help fill in the blanks... Newerby - Well, good that you should ask. Your initial inclination about speakers suggests to me that you need to focus on that issue a bit more. The speakers which you mentioned have different amplification requirements and sound very different f... | |
| A personal challenge Great move!!!!! Did that myself someyears ago - the only downside is I became intolerant of 2nd hand smoke and close contact w/females who smoke. Not much of a down side. Now all you have to do is figure out what to do with your hands since you no... | |
| VTA adjustabilty... For those of you with fixed VTA, other than my condolences, I offer you a possibility (compromise) not often mentioned - When you set the tracking force, use the mid-range recommended by the manufacturer and the VTA for a 180 gram disc. When you p... |
