| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? scroydon14 posts01-18-2021 3:06pmThe origin of manufacturing is irrelevant to the discussion.If a knockoff sound as good as genuine it may be genuine but pushed out the back door by employees trying to pad a paycheck. Theft of property rights is... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Also, it wouldn't be hard to tap into and replace the onboard amplifier with an outboard on.And for that matter, it wouldn't be that difficult to turn a passive speaker active without outboard amplifiers and a processor. | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... I have only seen a few of this guys videos, and have never liked him. Doesn't really sound like he even gave many options a listen.I can't really comment on full range actives as I have never heard a high end pair (I do have a JBL L16 that sounds ... | |
| Why do some think "music" (not gear, trading, etc.) is the ultimate end? The music is what drives me to by gear, but as an engineer I admire the design and craftsmanship of the gear.Years ago I abandoned LPs for digital, just my preference. However now I almost consider buying some exotic turntable just because they lo... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Thanks hobo1452.Unfortunately that video showed something that I wasn't aware of that kind of kills that option, no XLR inputs. In a mono block setup I will definitely end up with longer interconnect runs.Complication with going tubes is another t... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated I have one and thinking of getting another and go mono!!! Anyone try this yet? I am pretty sure that the 275 cannot be configured mono.I was really hoping that they would come out with something in between the 275 and 350.My speakers, Legacy Wh... | |
| So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but I have a stereo pre-amp & a HT Receiver with line level outputs.HT L/R outputs feed an input on the stereo preamp. Set stereo to fixed volume (80 dB) for HT use. Calibrate HT at that level, adjust theater volume with HT Receiver. | |
| Audiophile metal albums The Cult - Electric / Sonic Temple / CeremonyGoing to have to queue them up later. | |
| Used Speaker in the 15k range I purchased (new) a pair of Legacy Whisper XDS with the Wavelet Pre-amp/processor and love them.I see that there are several posted for sale here on audiogon. | |
| purchasing US made speakers Man up, get a pair of Goliath subs! Pussied out, ordered a pair of the Xtreme XD. | |
| What have you been working on in 2020? Figured it was finally time to stop saying that I would learn how to play guitar someday and picked up some gear. Slow going, but having fun with it. | |
| purchasing US made speakers A pair of the Xtreme XD is what I was thinking, or possibly a single Goliate XD.What positioning did you end up with in your setup? | |
| purchasing US made speakers Do you have sub-woofer/s with your setup?I don't feel that I really need them for music, though they might add a bit. But my system is multi purposed for home theater as well, so could use them there.I actually have a JBL sub-woofer which was incl... | |
| purchasing US made speakers @ douglas_schroederI have been interested in the Whisper since I first saw them in Stereo Review some 25 years ago, finally was able to acquire a pair a bit over a year ago.I am not too far from their factory and spent about 5 hours with Bill lis... | |
| purchasing US made speakers You didn't say where you are from, so not sure how easy it is for you to get around to evaluate. But I will add the Legacy Focus to the list.There are two models. One passive, and one with an ICE amp module for the two 12" woofers.I never had the ... |
