| What do audiophiles listen in their cars? I could care less about car audio. I mostly listen to sports radio on the daily drive which doesn't require a fancy system. The radio in my 95 BMW died and I replaced it with a Kenwood from Crtuchfield for 160.00. This thing has features that are ... | |
| DId lightening strike twice? Amp s problem I'd be inclined to separate the amp/amps from the system to test individually, basically the concept of divide and conquer. Pull out the amp, connect a different set of speakers with different speaker cables, and without any inputs connected to th... | |
| AC Outlets Where is the Pangea outlet when you need one? Somebody needs to market a matched cord and outlet in a package deal. | |
| Which stands for Joseph Audio Pulsars? What does Jeff Joseph use at shows? I would think he would have a good idea of what works best, unless of course the appearance of what he recommends is unacceptable to you.Skylan and Core Audio are two companies that come to mind although I must ... | |
| Help w/Integrated Amp for JBL L112 Speakers I had L112's for about 20 years. I liked them best with a Classe DR5 pre and DR8 amp. If you could find a Classe integrated that would be a good match. Out of the group you listed, I would think the NAD C326BEE would be the best choice.Eventually,... | |
| How Black is Your Background? It's not just the shade of black, it's the texture of black. I really like velvet black, as say compared to satin black. The warmth and feel of velvet between notes is so soothing I wish the music would stop playing. I mean the black velvet silenc... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please The VAC Signature w/o phono is 15K. The VAC is not rolled at the frequency extremes. It will give you an optimal foundation for a full orchestra. There is a lot of flexibility between rca and balanced input/ouputs so system configuration is simpli... | |
| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers I wasn't attempting to profess the superiority of one type of tweeter over another, only to point out that B&W offer a diamond tweeter that they build themselves and that tweeter has a potential advantage over other types of construction.Back ... | |
| WP 7 or Totem Wind or AZ Crescendo or ???? The Crescendos at RMAF 2007 were driven by Halcro amps. That combination of speaker/amp put out the most impactful bass I've ever heard. Gut punching bass would be an apt description. The rest of the speaker is pretty good as well. | |
| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers B&W speakers represent innovation, immaculate contruction, genuine value, and solid performance. They were the first to use woven Kevlar drivers, adopt computer analysis of their own drivers, and explore different cabinet materials, constructi... | |
| Sealed vs. Ported Speakers What are the pros & cons of sealed and ported speakers?(The port can be used to increase efficiency or extend the low frequency response but not both at the same time. The response drops at 12db per octave below the cutoff whereas a sealed spe... | |
| Tube Amps from China I would take the Dynakit ST70 currently advertised for 425.00 over any chinese amp under a grand. However, you might need more power. You may be able to find a VTL ST85 for under a grand if you keep looking. | |
| Test CD : In Phase / Out of Phase test Using Stereophile test CD2 in my main system, I achieved results similar to yours. My speakers are not equidistant from the sidewalls. The whole system is shifted to the left side of the room and my listening position is centered between the speak... | |
| Spikes or other on carpet for maple blocks If the floor is concrete, spiking through the carpet would be best. The spikes will need to be thin and sharp at the tip. You can install threaded inserts in the maple block to accept a threaded spike. | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T Or you could buy a new Rogue Cronus Magnum with KT120's and 90W power. Plus it is made in America.A used Cary SLI 80 would be another alternative that is made in America. |
