| suggestions for pre amp for Quikie v4 monos I don't really know the amps, but I haven't heard glowing descriptions about the Quicksilver full function. I think the CAT Ultimate II is a great preamp in your price range, as is the Modwright 36.5 and the Hovland and the Lamm. I've had all in m... | |
| Noob Planar Speaker Advice Needed If you're looking for midrange, why not consider Quad? I had Quad 988's with the Aragon amp and it was a great combination. I think that amp is great bang for the buck! | |
| Mag 3.6 Soundstage question.... To me it sounds like a room issue, with different room response at different frequencies. Maybe you could try using a frequency generator (can be generated off a computer) and vary the frequency and see if it has an effect on the image.Also, try s... | |
| Where to insert XLR "Y" Adaptor Thanks Al. I'm having Redco make up a 6" pigtail pair. They also thought the addition of one more connector to the sub would not make a difference, so I decided this would be most flexible.I'll be doing a bunch of soldering, putting Neutrik connec... | |
| Where to insert XLR "Y" Adaptor Splitting it near the amp/sub results in the shortest total cable, but it requires one more connection (male to female Neutrik plugs) than two parallel runs originating at a preamp split. The latter approach allows the signal delivery to the amps/... | |
| Where to insert XLR "Y" Adaptor BTW - Jax2 (and others with similar thought processes), please leave bodily orifices out of the list of options ;-) | |

| Classe Owners Please Help need FCC Thanks for looking guys. Zephyr, yes, I picked up the ones that were listed here on agon. Looking forward to a happy new year!!! | |
| Review: ALLNIC HT 2500 Head Amplifier Nuvistor Tube preamp One of the best reviews I've read! Dude - you should be writing (were you an English major?). I've got the L4000, and think very highly of the Allnic gear. | |
| DAC that re-clocks for under $1000? You will also need something to get the digital off the ipod. The Wadia is the only one I know of. | |
| mhdt havana vs streamer+ ....anyone? I'm listening to a Havana right now, not using USB instead using optical, and it sounds great! Warm and musical. I'd love to have a shoot out some time and make the comparison. | |
| Mac & iTunes geniuses... help I'm not an itunes expert, but I would consider the following approach:1) Temporarily change the location of your music files to the location you want to keep the lossless files in.2) Temporarily et itunes ripping format to lossless3) In the "advan... | |
| Classical music speaker recs for small room? Yes, I just auditioned a new pair of Vandersteen 1C's with a friend, and I think they are a great all around speaker for the money. Open sounding with body. Good suggestion at the price point. Also, not too hard to drive. Need to be a minimun of a... | |
| any reasons NOT to buy a peachtree nova? Bass is sounding fine now. I think it was the speakers it was driving.My friend took the unit "out shopping" for a pair of speakers. We listened to it with Rega RS-3's, a $2k pair of Avalon floor standers, Vandersteen 1's (all new) and used Triang... | |
| Booming Tunes You could insert a passive high pass filter (single high quality capacitor) between your preamp and amp with a roll off at 80 hz. Then tune your subwoofer accordingly. |
