| Best Guitar Band part11 Can I get an amen for Parliment/Funkadelic, Television and the original Electric Flag. Mike Bloomfield seems to be a forgotten guitar hero, but he's arguably the best "white boy" blues player ever. The first EF album, "A Long Time Comin'", has som... | |
| PS Audio PP300 works great, but...... I'm a big fan of the PS product and have used it in two different systems with excellent (and consistent) results. In a high resolution system the PS has the ability to seemingly deconstruct the sound. A friend noticed the change in my system imme... | |
| Widening my soundstage Your equipment is fine, no need to replace anything. The key to obtaining a proper soundstage is to sit in the near field (no further away than the distance between the speakers) and to acoustically treat the floor and wall reflections. With a fri... | |
| Frequency Spectrum Analyzer Software You might want to consider Terrasonde's Audio Toolbox. It's not software, but a hardware product. I don't have first hand experience, but it appears to do everything you want and much, much more. It features a display screen, signal generator(s) a... | |
| Amp+Cords or New Amp, best bang for $$$ Metaphysics, I'm curious, what are you trying to achieve with changing your amp and/or power cord? On the surface, you appear to have a very high quality system and I question whether a new amp is really necessary. | |
| Greatest Guitar Band Can't argue with some of the above named bands, but let's not forget Jr. Wells Blues Band (Buddy & Phil Guy); the original Quicksilver Messenger Service (John Cipollina & Gary Duncan); Santana (Carlos & Neal Schon); Miles Davis (Pete C... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? Recently replaced my preamp/amp with an integrated unit (a demo, presumably already broken in) and my first impression was that the integrated had slower, more rounded bass and slightly elevated extreme high frequencies than the units it replaced.... | |
| Ohm Loads for cartridges In general, the preamp load setting should be 10x,or greater, the cartridge's internal load. This last number can be obtained from the cartridge manufacturer. | |
| S-Video connection; 2 outputs - 1input Entech (available thru Audio Advisor) makes a switching device that can do what you require. When faced with a similar situation, I ended up routing the video thru the A/V processor. It added alot of extra electronic circuitry and there was a mino... | |
| Buyer Beware! Sober1, I don't think you have a legitimate grip. I recently sold some equipment on Audiogon. I priced the items for a quick sale and as a result I got a number of inquiries. As a seller, all that I am ethically required to do is to clearly state ... | |
| Equipment Rack Placement The only sure way to know is to try it and see, but as a rule the space between the speakers (both at the plane of the speakers and to the rear) should be free of obstructions. A few pieces of equipment, especially if positioned low to the floor, ... | |
| Impress Your Friends and Seduce Women! Redkiwi, please clarify. IMO, fidelity to the music is not possible without the ability to play loudly. I don't mean that the overall level is high decibel, but instead the ability to accurately follow the wide range dynamics of musical instrument... | |
| How come a power cable changes the sound? Science may not have the answer for everything, but that's not a reason not to ask pertinent questions. The ear is a marvelous measurement system, but it is not infallible and on the head of an unskilled listener, it's not particularly reliable. B... | |
| Integrated for around 1K to match with.. I defer to Dekay as to the price of used AR CA50. My info on its price was from the other post. | |
| Integrated for around 1K to match with.. Recommend you proceed with caution. At MRSP, you will give up sound quality in switching to an integrated at the $1,000 price level. Would recommend stretching to $1,500 at which Audio Research CA50 (used) are attainable. Musical Fidelity also mak... |
