| "Whose" Beethoven do you like? The Karajan 62' is probably the best compromise for a first Beethoven set overall. A decent but not great recorded sound but excellent and consistent performances. Carlos Klieber's recordings of the 5th and 7th are musts for everyone period. The '... | |
| High current or high wattage amps dr. joe is essentially correct. One of the ways to see if the powersupply and the circuit design is able to deliver the juice, is the ability to run at double power in at lower impedance. I believe that many audiophiles greatly underestimate the p... | |
| What AC Power Cord sounds best? PS 300, dedicated lines and a seperate ground is where to start, in my experience, before you spend $$$ on exotic power cords. Unles you have perfect power to begin with the differences are not subtle, especially in the digital chain. | |
| Power cords makes difference-Why? I also have SC-V's which I dirve with high powered tube monoblocks. The three things that did the most were dedicated lines in balanced congiguration for the power amps. A edicated star ground. Dedicated lines in a balanced configuration to two PS... | |
| Power cords makes difference-Why? If you can afford it dedicated power circuits for your rig with a seperate ground makes a huge difference. If your utility supplies noisy power a big honking isolation transformer is good too. The other alternative for noisy power is PS Audio Powe... | |
| Help with a budget second system I'm using a Jolida 502 in the bedroom system with my old IMF Monitor IV's which have excellent bass extension. I'm using KT-88's and NOS on the inputs. The Jolida providesg good solid bass and a sweet sound | |
| Audioprism "Quiet Line" experience I have about a a dozen, one on any line where there is an appliance, computer or a wall wart. I even swee talked my neighbor (we share a drop off the main lines)into letting me put some in his place. They make a big difference for small bucks. | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Carl I apologize for my presumption. You are certainly correct that there are very few audiophiles. There do seem to be more of them out here on the west coast. | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's I came in a little late to this thread but something Carl posted earlier is directed at me. Now, if some guy says "My wife and I have young single women over to the house all the time, who are hard core audiophiles every bit as much as we are", I... | |
| Best amp for Dunlavy V My original plan was to biamp the Dunlavy's. The crossover point is 150HZ so you still need solid power on top. I actually had a Bryston electronic crossoverand tried it but it added too much harshness to he sound. several I had the VT-200 on hand... | |
| Best amp for Dunlavy V Interesting, especially since the Spectron (which the Dunlavy folks have used as their demo amp) is rated at 1 Kilowatt with burst capabilities above that! | |
| Best amp for Dunlavy V I have used peak reading instrumentation on my SC-V setup. On high dynamic range Mahler, Stravinsky, Bruckner etc where the average SPL of the Tutti passages is 90-95 db in my room, the peak power to the Dunlavy always is way above 220 watts. From... | |
| TacT Room Correction System processors They don't have an analog solution yet. The acoustics of my room were pretty good to begin with (impulse measurements, etc). I have basic first reflection room treatments which improves some of the most noticable room effects (also by measurement)... | |
| TacT Room Correction System processors To 1439bhr. There web site is a joke but give them a call. The usual deal is that they will send a rep with a unit who will do full impulse measurements and ten install the unit in your system. They will charge you a consulting fee of $100/hour fo... | |
| PASSIVE Preamp and LIFELESSNESS? I would agree with Otis on the experiment to see if your source/amp combo is even a candidate. However, based on my various evaluations, sources that can drive the amp adequately sound worse going through a passive preamp and thisis with top of th... |
