| Does it matter which component I power up first? Lupinthe3rd, when you get as old as some of us sometimes you tend to forget things. :^) You are correct, of course, that your method works fine as well. | |
| Does it matter which component I power up first? Follow you owner's manual advice. You can probably avoid the turn-on thump problems doing as Lupinthe3rd does and muting or turning the volume all the way down on the integrated amp, but you do risk a disturbing sound if you forget to do that, and... | |
| The one and only acoustic instrument? Piano, which covers a very large frequency range and has tremendous dynamics as well. A piano playing a variety of music can show you the strengths and weaknesses of a speaker system better than any other instrument, IMHO. Plus, if you know the ma... | |
| CD PLAYER At the level you're at now, the question is not what is better as much as what is different and more to your taste. What don't you like about the EMM Labs player? Do you care about SACD playback capability or just CD? Some of the candidates you'll... | |
| Source for historical recordings --Edison, etc. I thought you lived in NYC. Did you move in the past few years? | |
| Source for historical recordings --Edison, etc. You also might want to contact the Edison Museum over here in NJ, they have transferred their recordings to digital files, not sure if any are available to the public.Too bad you didn't post this before our November NJ Audio Society meeting, I wou... | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers I think Unsound described it well. Both designs use first order crossovers, which I believe is a big reason for an overall similarity. I also think the Dunlavys' bass will be slightly more extended and better defined, but I too was surprised to se... | |
| Replacement for KSA-50 I agree that sending the unit to Krell is probably the way to go. I noticed an ad for Krell MDA 500s that mentioned servicing by a company in Bridgeport, CT called The Service Department, a possible alternative, though I don't have any experience ... | |
| What amps use the KT120 tubes? Rogers uses them. | |
| Anyone hear of the Black Cable Tie tweak? Well, at least this one isn't over $100, and the money isn't going to Machina Dynamica. | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. Mapman, would your experience with Sonus Faber and Krell have been at a Harvey Electronics store (there used to be one in Paramus)? I heard the same combo at a Harvey down in Eatontown, NJ, and it also sounded awful. It was definitely the room (fl... | |
| Thiel CS3 Without The EQ 50K or 50 Hz? Quite a difference! I presume you meant the latter. | |
| Out of this speaker rockort, Atlair MBLs put out plenty of bass, though depending on the room they can actually sound a little fat (when they're right, though, they can sound spectacular). You will need a more powerful amplifier than those you listed, though. Set up properly, they c... | |
| Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia? 28 square feet? Like in 4 feet by 7 feet??? Or are you talking about 28 foot wall dimensions? | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers For $1500, delivered, if you have a room big enough for them and can take their size they're a good deal. The original SC IV actually listed for $4,000 a pair, as I recall (my dealer was among the first to carry them, and I remember being surprise... |
