| Founder of Valve Amplification Co. VAC passes... I never knew the older gentleman who often answered the phone at VAC was Kevin's father. My condolences to Kevin and his family. I had a similar relationship with my father and I know what Kevin is going through. I've never been able to afford a n... | |
| thinking of trying vinyl I would recommend to stick with the silver discs. If you already owned a decent collection of vinyl a turntable makes sense, otherwise it is a poor allocation of funds that could be spent on a better integrated amp.On another thread, user knownoth... | |
| Audio Apparrel I have my Manley shirt "made in Chino, not China" which I really like, plus the functional Manley huggies to keep your beer cold and your tubes warm. Mapleshade records has a nice looking recording oriented t-shirt also. I would like a Cary or VAC... | |
| Room Treatment: Whatcha Got? I have an unconventional room which does not allow for the normal treatments you see in the application guides from the various purveyors of acoustic treatments. It has required over six months of trial and error with various panels from GIK and A... | |
| Does anyone have an opinion about 7 ch. stereo? Axe five channels, then spend the money on better speakers and elctronics for the remaining two channels. I have not heard any multichannel system that made the listening experience any more believeable than a two channel system and most of the ti... | |
| Would diffusion help in this space Is that just a drop down in the ceiling that I see in the photo of your speakers from head-on? | |
| Would diffusion help in this space What's behind your chair? Diffusion works best on the back wall behind your chair. I see you have some GIK 244 panels. How did you arrive at those positions? Did you experiment with a lot of different positions or just pick the spots that seemed r... | |
| Do you spend more on audio than your income allows I spend as much as my income will allow, but not more. Half of the fun is dreaming about some piece you can't afford.I'm frugal in other ways, small house, no kids, no fancy vacations, two old BMW's to drive (not expensive when you works on them f... | |
| Novice looking for advice You need to establish price range, space limitations, type of music you prefer, how loud do you want it to play. Should it be a floorstander or stand mount? How important is appearance. With this type of info, members could give you specific advic... | |
| upgrade from 803N's I auditioned the 803 before I purchased the 802's. There is a big jump in midrange clarity with the separate Marlan head for the mid driver. The larger cabinet volume adds more weight to the bass. I love the looks of the 802 and they will blend be... | |
| Tube Amp to play with my B&W 803D I preferred VAC PA100 over Classe CA300 on my N802. A lot depends on what you value most in listening. | |
| Krell Power Consumption Other than radiated heat into the room, why would you care? If you can afford a Krell amp, you should be able to afford the extra 1.00 per day for power.If the greenies make you feel guilty, I would suggest to sit back and enjoy the music and gree... | |
| Jolida and Cary I really like the sound of my Cary amp in my secondary system. It is an SLI50 so not exactly the same but close. This amp is only rated at 30W and with 89db efficient speakers it will absolutely crank in a 10x14 room. It is great to look at as wel... | |
| Using different cables for Bi-Wiring I would say the same cable but not necessarily the same gauge. DH labs bi-wire is 14g mid/tweet and 12g for the bass. I believe you would find the same principles applied to the wiring inside a quality speaker, ie different gauge wiring is used fo... | |
| Hooking up a REL Sub to a preamp that has 1 preout REL subs are designed to connect to the power amplifier outputs so it receives the same signal as your main speakers. Preamp connection is not recommended. |
