| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? I should have mentioned: Do yourself a favor and contact The Cable Company, to audition a pair of Kimber KS-1130's(or whatever else suits you) for yourself, via their Lending Library. There's a small fee, that will be applied to whatever you might... | |
| Neutral Sounding Silver Cables? I had used a number of cables between my BAT VK-D5 and pre, before settling on the Kimber KS-1130's(about 6 years ago). They simply let everything through(freq extension-both directions, without bloat, becoming sibilant or grainy/great sound stage... | |
| electrostats vs ribbon drivers Mrtennis- On what are you basing your assertion, that ribbons are, "hot?" | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... Mrtennis- How does Math, "sound?" (just kidding) I know Acoustics, Electronics and gear specs are all about Math, but- ANY two amps are going to differ in SOME measureable parameters. | |
| What does it take to qualify as a reviewer? I agree with most of what Elizabeth mentions. But- It is apparent that, in many cases, ears were NOT a prerequisite. | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... DEJA VU(Stereo Review)! Or perhaps, simply a plagerizing of some of Julian(stone-deaf) Hirsch's better columns(some were more hilarious than others). | |
| All Amps Sound the Same.... If you can't perceive the differences in tonality, resolution, sound staging, imaging, ambience recovery, etc, between various amps; you're blessed(think of all the money you'll save, by NEVER having to upgrade). | |

| What Are The Best 12AT7's and 12AX7's? The very, "best" 12AT7 family tubes, are supposed to be Tele ECC801S's(http://www.jacmusic.com/nos/ECC81.htm), and for the 12AX7 family; the ECC803S's(http://tubedepot.com/pa-ecc803s-tele.html). Good luck, trying to find those, for less than your ... | |
| Let's ID Speakers with 1st order Crossover design. While in the speaker/electronics repair business; I saw quite a number of cheap(read, "junk") speaker systems, pass through my shoppe. Without exception: they all were crossed over with one cap on the mids(when applicable), and one cap on the twee... | |
| Speaker crossover mod. Your advice? I haven't read all the posts, so- someone may have already mentioned the sonic benefits of observing the directionality of film caps. Most of the better ones are marked, in some way, as to which lead is connected to the outer foil. Good tips, espe... | |
| Sagging Voice Coils? I'm just talking from my personal experience, as a speaker reconer. The article YOU cited, was referring to the spider sagging towards the magnet structure(not the frame), and states exactly that. Like I said, I don't doubt that could occur, do to... | |
| Sagging Voice Coils? Step Six is speaking of the spider sagging toward the magnet(read it again). Something that I ran into frequently, with older woofers, when in the reconing business. Just the opposite of what one would get, in a downward firing woofer. That would ... | |
| Sagging Voice Coils? You might notice; that article, and it's accompanying remedies, addresses downward facing woofers only(as in some subwoofers). Many of which have heavy cones and/or long excursion(some double) coils. The effect of that type of sag would displace t... |
