| how good is Dyna FM1? thanks Ezmeralda11Nice web page and it gives me hope.Phil | |
| Quietest amplifier you have ever owned. Manley Stingray - at full volume I had to be 8 inches away from the speaker to hear anything at all. | |
| 4ohm vs 8 ohm......why one or the other....... typically a speaker with a higher impedance is more desired than one with a low impedance, especially if you have a tube amp - which will sound like it has tighter bass if your speaker has a 12 OHM load instead of a 4 OHM load for example. A tube ... | |
| HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound I own a Plinius SA100 MKIII and it is very nice but it still does not quite match Rogue 120 Magnums in the midrange and I agree with TWL,there is no such beast | |
| Looking for opinions on ATC Active 10's or 20's... I have a friend who is an ATC dealer and I am only familiar with the bigger ones (that cost $15000) but they are amazing, unbelievable really - you should make an effort to listen. | |
| And what do Maggies sound like near a wall...... They would sound muffeled - with big ill defined bass, they need 3 ft minimum and like at least 5 ft from back wall, (mine are 7ft 7inches) | |
| Hydra vs. Richard Grey for a Krell KSA-250 Amp I read in either Stereophile or TAS that one of the Richard Grey units actually made the sound worse. I have no idea myself but remember the review. | |
| what is the meaning of this??? I think I have used that recently and I meant that the sound was lacking body - on a frequency response graph there would be a dip in frequency response in the approximate area of 150 - 300 hz which results in a 'lean' sound, so something like a s... | |
| Unico vs A3.2 amp - a toss-up choice ? It depends on the speakers you have - what are they? | |
| system upgrade suggestions You do not mention wire used, do not underestimate the improvement you can get with properly matched wire and power cords.I know the Conrad Johnson PV10 to be pleasant but somewhat lackluster, not especially dynamic or revealing. | |
| Sonic Differences Between 2-Way and 3-Way Speakers I think in most people's price range a 2 way speaker makes more sense, it is better to have fewer high quality components. That being said often people have a subwoofer to flesh out the bottom end, so in a sense a sub satellite system is 3 way any... | |
| Quality of Stereophile Class A speakers at 2K? TAS is a lot more in line with their rating systemI still think Stereophile is fun reading - just more like fiction these days :) | |
| Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions MarakanetzWhere did you learn this about the Plinius?thanksPhil | |
| Help me tame the brightness of my Triangles I have listened to a few of the upper end (I forget)Cardas cables and they lack the open sound I crave and yes they are big and sloppy in the bass.I have just recently gotten some PCs and I recommend them to everyone. The kind of difference they m... | |
| best upgrade for 'standard' LP12 thank you Egross but my pre amp needs a fair amount of signal which is why I bought the Grado (4.5 mv version) the Rogue is known for having a little noise in the phono section. Plus my cartridge is pretty new so I will stick with it. I had consid... |
