| XTC Room Analyzer Kal,It looks like you have reviewed a few analyzers. If you then tried putting the resulting curve into a parametric or other EQ device, and can you comment on whether there is an effective EQ that will not have detrimental effects on the overall ... | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... Thanks all. Actually Swampwalker I called Paul to see if he would make me some 6" adapters to go from the tiny screw posts on my vintage amps to some bananas, and buy some jumpers, and he called back this morning. Before I got off the phone he sol... | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... Phd, thanks very much. Don't let's get started on the economy...John, thanks much, I've spent some time this morning reading threads on the Mapleshade wires and will get both speaker cables and interconnects to try when I can.Jim | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... John I'm amazed there may be a speaker cable for that price range. Would you call these on the bright side?I fully expect the B&K will not replace my 8B. But I have been intrigued for some time. It's costing me $27 in shipping, and I am sure I... | |
| Which B&K ST-140? Timlub, thanks a lot. I'll have to work on understanding that but will look at some charts and see if I understand. I know what resistance and capacitance are and know that capacitance can be resistive (I think). Not sure why there would be capaci... | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV minus SC-I = a good sub? Meadowmand, just responded to your classified. | |
| Amp preamp impedance matching...can anyone explain? Thanks Almarg. What sort of frequency response irregularities? I have a CJ PV-5 (only thing I found was a post saying 200 ohms output impedence) and Marantz 8B (and Mac MC240 and MC30s but listening to the 8B). I am considering trying a SS amp and... | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... John, will do. Thanks for the comments on preamp characters, that was incredibly useful. I should give you a percentage of the money you just saved me.Cables? Well, um... I went to the local car/home hifi place, and asked for the best car audio ca... | |
| McCormack DNA .5 vs 1, after revisions... Thanks a lot Swampwalker. The desert is an acquired taste and I don't deal with humidity well at all; always look like I just stepped out of the shower. Went to junior and high school in Albuquerque and the California high desert. I love riding my... | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... Just looked up the input impedence on the DNA-1, 100Kohms!Jim | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... Hi John. Just to try something SS without really opening my wallet I just picked up a like-new B&K ST-140 (105w version 2). I know these are a bit weak in the bass and high end, but it will be an easily recovered data point. I waffled between ... | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... John, thanks very much. Can you educate me a bit about the impedance matching issue with mating preamps with amps? Your system sounds really nice. I do agree the PV-5 is probably the weak link limiting clarity in my system. Uncle Stu (don't see hi... | |
| McCormack DNA .5 vs 1, after revisions... Wow, what a great read to go with my coffee in the morning, thanks, that was good. The real source is interesting too. You would find my environs a bit challenging, as I'm in the driest spot in the country supposedly, though I always think that ca... | |
| Pass vs McCormack? Unsound and Mcondon, thank you much for your comments. Unsound, that is the kind of very valuable appraisal we can only get from each other and the kind of thing that helps us know what we want.Mcondon, I suspect the X150.5 is a bit more than the ... | |
| McCormack DNA .5 vs 1, after revisions... Thanks Swampwalker. BTW, I'm curious about the origin of that name.I have ProAc One SCs in a 11x12 room as I just said in another thread I started on Pass vs McCormack. I plan to get Tablette Anniverseries or Harbeth Compact 7s eventually. Listeni... |
