| To Filter or Not To Filter . . . I bought an Audio Magic Stealth XXX several years ago, and it made a vast improvement with regards to the background silence of my system. The results were more what was not noticed until it was gone(background grunge), than something added. It al... | |
| "Breathing" of the air "anechoic" MEANS "no echo". No echo means no reverberations or ambience. Anechoic chambers are built so that the frequency response, efficiency, etc. of a transducer/speaker system might be tested without any room interaction at all. Were you list... | |

| Bi-Amp Basics - NHT 29s Follow Markruss' advice of using an active crossover to bi-amp. Power amps w/o active filtering MUST have matched gain AND sensitivity to provide an accurate frequency response when used to bi-amp(or at least input attenuators). An active crossove... | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question You really can't make a final judgement with most "high end" interconnects/cables before they've seen 200 hrs of strong music signal. Be patient! | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question If you look at the manual for your preamp, the section dealing with source connections generally is titled, "INPUTS". That's because the signal voltage(and it's swings) are coming FROM the source to the pre. The input impedance of the pre remains ... | |
| Ultimate test of your system image Vett: That was a few years back. Bought it from Caiman(great people) on Amazon. They refunded the $$. Now I just borrow my son's occasionally, for the kicks it provides. | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question The preamp DOES NOT have to be powered up. The voltage swings in a musical signal are generated solely by the source, and nothing is added (or sent back to the source) by the pre. AS long as the interconnect is hooked up to the load component, and... | |

| has anyone tried ultrabit platinum on their cds Clean cotton diapers, washed w/o any kind of chemicals, leave no lint either. | |
| Ultimate test of your system image My son's 'Amused to Death' is an excellent copy, and both of our systems cast the images/info contained way beyond normal soundstage parameters. ie: The horse/wagon effect begins at about 7 o'clock(behind the listener's left shoulder), and ends at... | |
| "Breathing" of the air "Liquid" applies to midrange, as "air" applies to treble(general semantics anyway). | |
| "Breathing" of the air The Audio Glossary (http://www.audioxpress.com/bksprods/products/bkaa7-s.htm) Defines "air/airy" as, "Pertaining to treble that sounds light, delicate, open and seemingly unrestricted in upper extension. A quality of reproducing systems having ver... | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? 2)TungSol JAN/CTL 6SN7GT round plates and 2)Sylvania JAN/CHS 6SN7W tall bottles from the 1940's. No- I haven't owned them quite that long. | |
