| Specifications Bandwidth: 19 Hz - 25 kHz ...? Phil..I don't disagree with you at all. '...broader is better...' I just don't understand the value of specifying bandwidth in an unqualified manner - i.e. bandwidth versus frequency response. How do you measure bandwidth? On axis at 1 meter and w... | |
| Looking for a pre-amp with a lot of inputs. 10 An outboard switcher...I've been looking for a good quality one and one with a remote, perhaps. Who makes them? I've been considering a passive pre, just to get the switching! | |
| A A Capitole MKii Upgrade/Update SuttsWhat passive did you add and why did you add it?I heard it said that the AA Cap is best direct to amp. What amp are you using?Thanks... | |
| RPTV with combination HT and Audio systems? I've just been experimenting a bit to see how much of an affect the reflections off my 60" 16:9 Runco RPTV is having on my audio set up. My speakers, Dunlavy Cantatas, are about 10 ft apart and 2 ft in front of the RPTV. All walls and ceiling are ... | |
| AC Power cords, which components 1st...? Thanks all...a lot to consider.When my dedicated 20 amp lines were installed several years ago I installed standard "hospital grade" outlets. That was before this new buzz/hype with regard to the audio grade outlets. Anyone know what the compositi... | |
| linelevel pre that facilitates balanced bi-amping? Has anyone looked at a schematic for a line stage that has two set of outputs? My suspicion is that both sets are simply wired together in parallel internal to the amp. The second set of connectors is very convenient on the amp but is this really ... | |
| Analysis plus T1 spades and B&W spkrs I should have added...From Analysis Plus you can order cables with the "big" spades that accommodate the 3/8" posts. (Follow the link I posted.) Or, it's pretty easy to reterminate them yourself. I have Analysis cables and like them very much as w... | |
| Need Suggestion on Good HT processor new or used? I agree with the Lexicon and would add Theta Casanova. | |
| Biamping B&W Nautilus 803's While I cannot argue the benefits of defeating the internal crossover and replacing it with an active crossover, I can say that bi-amping using the internal x-overs will work and provides noticeable improvement. Provided, of course, there are two ... | |
| Analysis plus T1 spades and B&W spkrs I have a set of T1 spades sitting here on my deask. I measured the inside dimension to be exactly 5/16". There is no way they will go over a 3/8" post without widening the opening somewhat.From Analysis Plus T1 Spade $15 eachMachined from a bloc... | |
| How many dedicated circuits to run HT/2ch system.. I did the same not too long ago. Unless you plan to have really large amplifiers with lots of current draw as AVguy mentioned, this is how I set up mine:All circuits 20amp (cost pennies over 15amp circuits)1 for amps (more if you need them)1 for v... | |
| buzzzzz, where did i go wrong? I'm with Sean...I would also add to my previous post that if there is CATV involved some where in the system to use a g round breaker for it instead of tyring to make the ground common.dedicated lines. what goes where?Dedicated (meaning separate?)... | |
| 2 Channel pre-amp...where to start... 7p... I have been looking into this exact alternaive. I have found a couple of devices but they include volume controls and no remote or something like a Creek or Placette passive pre. Do you or anyone know of any selector only devices? | |
| split sub signal out of preamp to use 2 subs? The HGS-18 is perfectly fine for HT especially in a room your size. Two subs are usually required in a much larger room. My guess is that your problem has to do with the placement of your sub. Two sub will give you more placement headaches. If you... | |
| dedicated lines. what goes where? Dedicated (meaning separate?) grounds that run to different ground rods...sounds like the beginning of trouble (ground loops, hum...etc). The whole idea is to have a single, common ground in a system. If each is at a different, even slightly, pote... |
