| Ohm question In a parallel circuit, voltage stays the same across both loads but current drops. You are right that two 10 ohm loads in parallel presents itself as a 5 ohm load. Each speaker would have half the current flowing through it (i.e., the total curren... | |
| I need more cowbell.... Audiopoints beneath Thiels are a great idea -- I found that they make a very noticeable difference. Glad you did that, but you already took my first recommendation. My second is to go to MIT and you already did that too. ;-)So, let's go far deeper... | |
| "do it yourself" acoustics 13 by 13 is tough since the same frequencies are reinforced and cancelled by two of your three dimensions. If you can move the system to a different room, you'll definately be better off. If you have 8 foot ceilings, you will get artificially stro... | |
| I Hardly Listen to Music Anymore Wow! That's tough. Much of the time, I listen to my system as background music -- but I am drawn into it 100% often enough to make it great (it plays and I simply stop sometimes and just listen before resuming what I was doing). Other times, I foc... | |
| Switch or not to switch...interconnects Yes -- do the two sets. It will be tough to get the full effect otherwise. I assume that there is some sort of try before you buy trial period. If you find that only one set does the trick, you can always return the other. Good luck. Be sure to al... | |
| Single box or upgrade w/DAC? There's no simple answer. I recently auditioned three new one-box solutions compared to my current separates. It was pretty much a toss-up. The systems were all under $4,000.The advantages of separates are that you can spend $5,000 on the DAC alon... | |
| Another Kind Of Blue Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out. Do you have any other experience with those musicians? | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Ditto on Quest for Sound -- Stephen Monte is fantastic to work with, even long distance. His cables are also quite inexpensive and very capable. | |
| Who R U? Rooze, that made an excellent read. Well done! I'm not sure you need to respond to the "where did your user name come from" thread -- we might be able to figure that one out ;-) On the other hand, I'm always up for another fine post! | |
| benefit of Higher power over Lower power Amp ? Mitch, I'm with Bigtee -- i.e., there is no reason I can determine why that thread was eliminated. Maybe it's a system glitch??? | |
| Stillpoints or Audio Points, has anyone compared In my system, under the cd player, Stillpoints made a difference. But, it was hardly spectacular -- no night and day, my jaw dropped, veils disappeared kind of difference. Just a slightly crisper sound -- just enough to make them worthwhile for me... | |
| benefit of Higher power over Lower power Amp ? Deja vu all over again! I was going to reference a thread with virtually that same question from a week or two ago, but it disappeared. It is no longer on the Gon, even though it wasn't very controversial -- just some spirited discussion.Long stor... | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Thanks for the review Joe. While I'm into much larger amps right now, I'll be pondering your words and those of others as I think about next steps. In the shorter term, the cd player sounds interesting. I'll check to see if they have a multi-forma... | |
| help with my journey ?? From all accounts, the Dunlavy SC-IV is a very fine speaker. If you feel you need to try something else in the same general used price range, you might want to check into:Kharma Ceramique 3.0, which is a little above your price range (3.1 is newer... | |
| Dealing with transformer hum Here's an interesting reference to the Nelson Pass comments and a lot of discussion around hum circuits. You may have to join the diy site (which is a pretty cool place) to see the circuits themselves -- there's a link to get to the original posts... |
