| Balanced vs Non-Balanced XLR? True differentially balanced components eliminate 2nd order harmonics, at least internally. What the speaker does is another story. From a purist point of view, distortion is distortion and the manufacturers that build this way must feel it's wort... | |
| Best inwall speaker 4000$ pair BG Radia might be more in your budget. | |
| What speakers under 2000$US for... New: NHT Three's, stands and a sub or just Four's or VMPS 626R hybrid. | |
| Will An Attenuator Help Reduce This Hiss? Just to be different, Prometheus TVC's offer up to 54dB attenuation and isolation as well for under $500. Haven't read of any shipping backlogs for years. You can take a look at the Bent Audio stuff as well. If you're up for some DIY, I believe bo... | |
| B&W matrix 800 or genesis V A little while ago, a pair of V's was selling for $2500 US out of Chicago. The question is: Do you deserve to own Genesis? | |
| why do we argue? Just kidding. | |
| why do we argue? What a load of *%$#! | |
| Best Active Crossovers? Can't think of any 6dB active analog xovers. Like the Digmoda idea but still wary about class D for tweeters. As far as a separate crossover, other digital options are Xilica (might be the best of the 'pro' stuff and stand-alone option for 8 out),... | |

| Use of isolation transformer I've got a few. 300W, 2 and 5 KVA. The latter 2 step-downs fed 240V, wired for balanced and $100 each off Ebay (not included shipping). All I want them to do is reduce noise and if they changed the sound any more than that, they wouldn't be there. | |
| Victical bi-amp or mono block? Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't those Mac's "monostrapped" or paralleled, instead of bridged. If so, they double current and are better into tougher loads. | |
| Tubes Versus Solid-State Audio Amps—The Last Word Thanx.......... | |
| Driver recommendation for hi-fi DIY sub? Have you looked at the GR Research SW-12-04 and the plans of the "sand box"?Another "off-the-beaten-path" name to drop is CSS. | |
| Explain Class A amp to non audiophile friends http://sound.westhost.com/class-a.htm | |
| Why do I like Class AB better than Class A? I have a couple of the same amps. The difference between those modes of operation can be subtle, depending on the recording and the volume. Patience... you'll hear it. After a while, you'll never want to listen in anything other than class A. Prob... |
