| Too much midbass. I will be auditioning the Rives PARC unit next week for a similar problem. I have heard great things about the unit, but can't vouch personally yet. It allows you to address up to three bass humps (under 350hz). | |
| SAS Audio I don't have any specific information regarding the reliability of the unit. However, from corresponding with Steve, the designer, I have formed the impression that he takes very good care of his customers. I know that he is also getting ready to ... | |
| Levinson 33 Archaic???? Actyally, the 33 is the best sounding, most neutral amp I have heard. I enjoy the sound of many great tube amps, but can't say that any are as neutral. The 33 seems to have less of a sonic signature than any amp I have heard, and it is significant... | |
| Great bass amp SS for 15" 8 ohm woof 800hz max Hi again Hicourt,Althoug I answered you question quite literally, I agree with the following posts. I can't imagine how two different amps of any sort would blend well at 800Hz. I do believe you would just be playing with a low probability game of... | |
| Great bass amp SS for 15" 8 ohm woof 800hz max P.S.If you really want to go nuts, get a pair of Levinson 33s (240v). The 33h is also wonderful, but, to my ears, sonically not as good in any area (power demands aside). | |
| Great bass amp SS for 15" 8 ohm woof 800hz max Depending on your budget, some options might include the Bryston 4B-ST, or Krell KSA 150 or 250. The Krells are powerful, controlled, and tuneful. Others may disagree, but I am less of a fan of the later Krells in this application. I have never he... | |
| Well Tempered Turntable set up questions If using any mat, you will have to readjust the arm. Not only will VTA be effected, but because the VTA is changed by the thicker surface, the VTF will also be reduced. This is because the arm pivots in the plane of the record. As you raise the ar... | |
| How do you get to listen to high end speakers? As a former high-end dealer, I know that unfortunately, your experience is not unique. I was treated that way in the past, especially in NYC and made a commitment to never treat customers in such a manner. Regardless of a customer's budget or purp... | |
| Worlds’ Best High End Loudspeaker Competition/Demo Thanks for the post. Like others, we would enjoy such shoot outs in the U.S., but the domestic magazines are unlikely to do so.I am a big Wilson fan, so I am not surprised. I have some close friends who just sold their X1s to take posession of the... | |
| Linn LP 12 vs Well Tempered TT I have owned both. Obviously the Linn has been through many updates and I'm not sure of the specifics of the TT you are looking at. I am not critical of the Linn and appreciate what they did to create "turntable consciousness" but am not its bigge... | |
| Lamm M 1.2 against Tenor 300 and Boulder 2060 I am curious about what type of sound you are really looking for? Despite the rave press surrounding the Halcro and Boulder electronics, many people, whose ears I trust, seem to share Rcprince's opinion. I hope to audition them in my own system at... | |
| Well tempered platter problem? I am very familiar with the Well Tempered and used to sell them. If the bearing is placed appropriately, the spindle and platter will fall to the right (away from the motor). The tension on the belt should hold the platter level, unless you apply ... | |
| Foam bass traps and diffusor panels I agree with trying Rives formula and buying his Radio Shack corrected CD. Place your DB meter on a tripod at your listening position. Write down your db output at each frequency from about 32hz-200. Keep track with each speaker movement. Based on... | |
| Cedia Expo Thanks for your respons Larryi. I have attended CES shows since the early 70s, although not recently, but knew nothing about Cedia. Sounds quite different than CES. My brother is presently building a home entertainment system, which prompted my po... | |
| mark levison I understand that they are doing repairs now and I believe they are shipping or getting ready to. Not sure how build quality will be effected since I believe that none of the old team are still around. I own a pair of 33 monos and hope that the co... |
