| Preamps: Rogue v. VTL v. Blue Circle I have a VTL 5.5 that is absolutely wonderful and seems to meet your qualifications like it was made for them. Bass could be fuller in my system but is it the room, do i need more amp? you know the drill there. Very open sounding preamp and in com... | |
| Mono block install question setting up pro sound i would run the board/preamp to the cross over and send seperate signals to the amps powering the subs mids and highs (running three way) or just the subs and full range tops. cutting the low end out of the signal going to the... | |
| Best Isolation Devices? experiment till you find nirvana. similar to sidssp who used an inner tube, i placed a few of those air filled packing bags (about 4in x7in under my cdp. Imaging improved, bass improved, some detail improved...all to a fairly substantial degree...... | |
| Aerial 10 T Owners Need Advice I really liked the 10Ts but found the bass a bit loose for my taste. Highs and mids were wonderful. As a former vandy owner i say there is no contest between the 3a's and the 10 t's the aerials win easily. More open sound, more range, i just liked... | |
| Help Troubleshoot - Left Ch. Louder than Right Ch. I have a transient problem with my VTL 185s that sounds kind of similar and i was wondering if this could be a tube thing as well. One amp will suddenly get louder and then start to hum, or will just start to hum without the volume surge. Toggling... | |
| Are You Satisfied? finally got my system where there is really very little to change on the digital end and the analog sounds good enough...then comes the twins and i'm singing the same blues as ghostrider45 | |
| Electric guitar cable? george L cables, high end cables for guitars. reportedly used by eric johnson who is as obsessive about tone as audiophiles are about reproduction...he even reportedly can tell between battery types and ages in his stomp boxes. | |
| How to make your CD player/amp live longer ? CD player has a mechanical drive that is likely to die. Pure electronics like amps are another thing. Caps may go after years, tubes need replaced and maybe a tranny may have problems but for a reference there are a ton of old guitar amps from the... | |
| Jazz/blues guitarist suggestions for SRV fan. If you want to hear a texas tinged youn-un (at least he was when the cd was released) get a copy of the Ian Moore disc with blue sky on it. Not sure of the name It has a picture of him setting on a super with the band standing around. Great playin... | |
| Jazz/blues guitarist suggestions for SRV fan. There are a lot of great players mentioned here but the only ones that sound like SRV are Duarte and Kenny Wyane Sheppard. There is a Native American blues band Indiginous that nails the SRV thing. Albert King is the source of most of SRV's licks ... | |
| Which speakers do you like in the $5K price range? Dunlavys are the deal of a lifetime these days. I bought a pair of Athenas for $4500 shipped when the co was still going. Considered B&W, then i heard them, was really serious about the Aerial 10Ts and then i heard the Athenas...no comparison.... | |
| To trade or not to trade? I was a huge vandersteen fan until i found the athenas. heard em once and knew they were the speakers to have. The vandy 3 sigs couldn't hold a candle to em. Paind 4300 for mine and don't regret it for a second. They were over $6k new with a nice ... | |
| DIY Room tunes: close enough for rock and roll? go to audio asylum and do a search on jon risch. he is the resident DIY guru for room treatments | |
| Separate ground for dedicated line i originally did my dedicated lines in a previous abode with a seperate ground rod though my secondary box was bonded to the main box. It sounded significantly better. Then a kind soul on audio asylum described with word s and pictures the mechani... | |
| Why do AC cords make so much difference? I'm another guy thinking the cords act as a band pass filter. A couple of years ago i read an article about using home electric wiring as the house computer network as well. The network signal was designed to operate at a higher frequency outside ... |
