| SET amp w/Neg feedback? The Art Audio Quartets (845 PP) have a switch for 0 or 6 db of feedback. I was trying them on my Maggies and preferred the feedback initially. One day I had some "girl with guitar" music on and went back to the 0 setting, which was preferred. It w... | |
| Maggies with no Sub: Fantastic surprise Agree. I have the 3.6's. I could turn the sub on/off with the remote on my pre and for much of the music I could not tell "but" there were times the sub made it more enjoyable. I don't feel I have to spend alot of money on a sub. My ear is not tha... | |
| Is anything better than Aleph 3? Peterayer, I would agree with you but he is trying to reduce heat and power consumption.And BTW, a public thanks for your personal help when I was moving up the Pass line. | |
| Is anything better than Aleph 3? The Alephs are special. I owned the 5 and heard the 3. There is a good reason for all those heatsinks!!!!I have Pass's XA.5 amps now and several SET amps so you know what kind of sound I like. The amp I would recommend for your situation is the Re... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Soren,50 ohms is great. What brand and how long are your ic's to the Pass? Is the needle on the Pass moving when you are experiencing the flab? My 30.5 had more articulate bass on my Maggie 3.6 than my previous McIntosh 1000 watt monoblocks (as lo... | |
| SF Guarneri with ARC Reference 110-CD7-3 ? Raquel, not quite true on your service statement. Sumiko will provide service to any owner as long as the speaker was originally purchased from an authorized dealer in the USA. You could be the 10th owner, doesn't matter, but you will need the ori... | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Ssglx, Thanks for the feedback. I took a look at your system"s". If I had to use only one word to describe them it would be "smart". | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? I gotta believe they all impart something to the sound. The more polluted your environment, the more you might like one (lesser of two evils). I just had my AC line analized. In my worst room with a computer and dimmer on, I had between 1.5 and 2.... | |
| Would diffusion help in this space Musicfile,The fake ficus is light and easy to move. I bet you could move them as fast as taking the blanket on and off.Let your wife pick them out, they don't have to be that big. I bet she will like them more than the blanket.Have fun. | |
| Would diffusion help in this space Musicfile,If you put a cotton blanket over your tv, you will have a certain sound. A wool blanket will give you another. Different materials absorb and reflect different frequencies. People roll tubes for a different flavor, I suppose you could ro... | |
| Would diffusion help in this space I would put 2 fake ficus trees side by side right in front of the TV. Move them to the side when you want to watch. | |
| Connecting F-type cable to Mcintosh Tuner Using the adaptor will work but you will lose 3db of gain. If your station comes in strong enough, no problem. If you notice a problem, get a folded dipole at Radio Shack (6 bucks). It's terminated with small spades that will fit your Mac perfectl... | |
| Low SET versus High SET The 300b is my favorite tube but I really like the extension of the 2a3/45. My wish came true (I didn't know I had one) when I got a high eff/easy load speaker with an active x/o. I run a 300b on the mid/woofer and a 2a3 on the tweeter. I initiall... | |
| Over the top I've always wanted a pair of Guarneris and finally got a pair of new Mementos. I also had the C2200 and MC2000 years ago so with a little conjecture I can say I'm sure you're going to love your new pairing. What size room do you have the G's in? | |
| Sophia II's and Pass Labs etc The ONLY hard/fast rule in Audio is there are no hard fast rules in Audio.A softer/slower rule is that amps with fewer output devices seem to sound a little sweeter than their bigger brothers which may explain some peoples preference for the 30.5.... |
