| Gryphon Diablo 250 vs Hegel390 Is the Hegel unit a new unit? Do both amps have the inputs and features you require? The Hegel has a plethora of digital features that the Gryphon omits. Is that important? Your choice can also depend upon where you live. If either unit break... | |
| Why is black so popular for components? Because nobody wants to be Mr. Pink. | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS Absolutely no sympathy for the OP. If you didn't know this when you purchased your preamp, then you didn't do adequate research. Only yourself to blame. Also, if I owned an ARC preamp, and I don't due to high operating costs, I would only buy r... | |
| Room Treatment Question, lost the lowest bass notes. Do an internet search on audio room modes. From your description you are listening in a null area for low frequencies. As a quick fix move your seat forward or backward until the low notes reappear. | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? Using an SPL calculator you should be able to achieve 97 to 100dB levels at your normal listening position. The Pass amp is rated at 50 watts peak power. Personal taste differ and some would not consider this level very loud. I suggest you use ... | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? How loud are you listening? If you're trying to do 110dB, then there are better loudspeakers than the Harbeths. Also, you mention that you're further away from the loudspeaker and dancing (presumably standing), both of which will alter the tonal... | |
| Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection Imagine if every high end manufacturer had a "rebuild" program similar to Ohm's? | |
| vinyl versus digital redux master tapes which in general will be stored properly for any media company of noteAre you forgetting about the Universal studio fire in 2008? Apparently, it's really hard (expensive) to properly store large amounts of media.If you're considering... | |
| Amp repair cost — is this right? I understand every amp is different, but I had a Rowland 112 power amp recapped in 2019 for about $400 plus shipping. I was told Jeff did the work himself and there were other minor updates. Rowland even gave me a new shipping box. | |
| Still confused about clipping after reading all the articles. You can prevent amplifier clipping by placing a limiter (a type of compressor) before the amplifier. Some powered loudspeakers have this in their circuitry. Regarding your question, an integrated amp is a preamp and a power amp built in a single... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Charles1dad, thank you for your thoughts. | |
| Dynamic range - effect on different speaker cables - even very high quality ones The cables make a difference naysayers have found an unusual ally in the "professional" reviewer as they together launch personal attacks against the OP. This is proof positive that evolution isn't always in a positive direction. | |
| Problem with phono stage From the spec sheet the max input on the Lehman is 4.5mV and the Nagaoka outputs 5mV, so the phono stage overloads (distorts) when it encounters clicks on the record. | |
| Policy question: can I give away stereo equipment out here (asking for shipping)? Your local Craigslist has a "For Free" section. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Thanks for a very educational thread. I don't know if this can be answered directly, but feel free to speculate. How much of the loudspeaker's sound quality is attributable to its full range, crossoverless design vs. its fanatical and over the t... |
