| Please explain clipping Jcbtubes, I thought I knew what clipping was, but now I wonder. From your post, it appears that clipping is not amplitude related, as I thought it was -- did the 2kw amp produce clipping even at very low volumes? Was it more a function of slew rat... | |
| Sony 9000ES: DanWright or StanWarren Mod I bought a used Perpetual Technologies set-up with the Dan Wright mods and power supply -- it sounds great and does not void the warranty since the company approves Dan Wright mods. Then, I sent him a Pioneer DV-525 and the blacks are blacker and ... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Greg, I'll give you three tweaks and a small box of cables for your mother-in-law! How about just for a week or so? I bet you and she could clean up by having her tour the country and helping more Audiogon spouses see the light (er, hear the waves... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? I subscribed to various audio magazines and was an enthusiast for the first 16 years of our marriage without moving away from my system that I bought in college (which was nothing to write home about). During the last four years, Katie bar the doo... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1 Mk.II news Darn it Hakan, now I've got that song in my head. Cheers.Guenther | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1 Mk.II news Thank you for your courtesy and work in sharing this review -- I don't speak Norwegian and appreciate seeing other perspectives. Bravo! -- Assuming of course you are not a dealer of this equipment ;-)Guenther | |
| Info - CD copy protection OK, so this prevents us from recording back-up copies or mixes. The big pirate companies will, I suspect, easily find a way around this. But Macrovision will make lots of money as will the companies who will spring up with their black boxes. Thank... | |
| Hate to ask...... Like others here, I have two separate systems since I have two separate living areas. The HT has a modified Pioneer DVD, Lexicon, Sunfire and Paradigm Reference (v2) speakers. The main system is for stereo only and is a real joy since I upgraded t... | |
| What is the best digital cable? As you know, "best" is very subjective. I sure like the Stealth Varidig -- I have the 1.5m balanced and the sound is very clear. | |
| Another Cryogenic Freeze Article HFNRR Has anyone seen reviews or experienced whether the freezing has long term effects? I'm not a scientist (and I know from listening that science doesn't know it all by a long shot), but the effects of freezing may not last. I wonder if the freezing ... | |
| ML 39 w/Bryston amp and Thiel 2.3? Rsuminsby, I owned the 3B-ST and then moved to the 4B-ST with the Thiel 2.3. Then I moved to the 7B-ST with the Thiel CS-6. The Bryston/Thiel combination is a bit bright and can lead to some upper mid congestion, depending on room acoustics -- but... | |
| What is your OTHER passion? Glreno, I hope everyone here understands life if too short and beautiful for just one passion. From the sounds of it, maybe anyone with one passion also has others. I too love to drive fast but haven't got into racing (J thunders, glad Audi did we... | |
| Straight wire with gain???? Sean, I like your Yin / Yang approach. Doug, you're absolutely correct in suggesting that no one system can do the trick. I think that's at the heart of the question. The "straight wire with gain" approach forces us to reach the single most pleasi... | |
| Straight wire with gain???? I'm sorry. I mistyped. I mean a big fat "IMHO". | |
| Room Acoustics Problem? Gregg, thanks. I'll move the speakers out another one to two feet and retest. The bass doesn't exactly roll off. At 63 Hz, it's +3dB and then it plummets to -6dB at 50, -7dB at 40 and -6dB at 32 rising to +2dB at 25 and -1dB at 20. That's strange,... |
