| Small speakers...big sound?? If you're looking for small speakers with big sound, check out Mark&Daniel Maximus Monitors. They have a huge sound. In my listening room, my trusty RadioShack db meter shows them to be flat down to 31.5cps, and they image very nicely.They are... | |

| The Hub: No moving parts? No problem! No mention of the Electrovoice Ionic tweeter (late 50's)? I recall it as sounding marvelous, and looking so cool with that violet glow at its throat. | |
| Anti-Diffraction Surrounds for Speaker Tweeters After a slight difficulty, partially due to my own stupidity, I have mounted a pair of Jim's surrounds to my NSM 10S minimonitors, and have spent the afternoon and evening listening to favorite CDs (classical and jazz) with a new appreciation of t... | |
| ac cables falling out of IEC inlets on amps It seems to me one solution would lie in the design of the inlet prongs.A possibility would be to spring load them by shaping each prong to be effectively a leaf spring.Easy. | |
| ac cables falling out of IEC inlets on amps Arthursmuck and Sherod- I'm applying it as a small ring on the Marinco connector,where it will contact the inlet only in the area furthest from the inlet's prongs, where I certainly don't want it to reach.I have now installed it on the connectors ... | |
| ac cables falling out of IEC inlets on amps Fatparrot-I tried your suggetion with regard to Blutack. To say it worked seems, at this time, an understatement. The connectors are staying in place, and there is a remarkable effect on the sound.The image has enlarged, become more specific, and ... | |
| ac cables falling out of IEC inlets on amps Fatparrot-I take it you have tried blutack and it worked out well for you, and you tried some other brand and it didn't. Can you say a little more about your experience?pummy | |
| ac cables falling out of IEC inlets on amps Tvad- I've tried tape with only partial success. It seems the inlet is slightly tapered, so taping Marinco connector prevents full insertion.Kenscollick- Your tip of bending the contacts might have some merit. My incentives for replacing the IEC i... | |
| Gainclone vs. Pure Class-A I have a pair of 200w Rawsonte monoblocks which replaced a pair of class A Monarchy SM-70 monoblocks (70w). Driving a pair of very inefficient NSM minimonitors (82db), I much prefer the Rawson amp, for both dynamics and imaging. | |
| Any good CD for setting up/positoning a Subwoffer? Arni- Before you even start using a cd, 1) get the center of your woofer cone as close as you can to the same distance from your listening position as your mains,and 2) improvise a platform for you sub that will decouple it from the flooring. Yuo'... | |
| Which amp? I agree with Gmoodl- The Monarchy SM-70 is potent, punchy, sweet, and harmonically rich, especially when used as monoblocks. A pair should cost you $500-700. | |
| Review: SignalCable Magic Power Cord Power cord In response to Marcberger:If this is a problem for you, it is easily solved by wrapping the portion of the plug that inserts into the component, but not with electrical tape. Use duct tape. It works perfectly. Cut it down to the apprpriate length ... | |
| Review: SignalCable Magic Power Cord Power cord Plato- Thanks for your comments:the guiding rational for my present system has been "bang for the bucks",as you aptly put it.I would like to note however,as excellent as the various components may be,my SignalCable power cords,speaker cables, and ... |
