| How international is your system? Hmmm, Let's see: Magnepan speakers, Balanced Audio Technology CDP, TacT Audio pre-amp, Cary Monoblocks(top), Hafler TransNova(bottom), My own design transmission line woofers with Nestorovic drivers, Magnepan tonearm, Kimber Select 1130, Silver Au... | |

| The Definition of An Audiophile Audia- Here's a decent little treatise that mirrors my opinion on the subject of compression, and will save me a lot of typing: (http://www.woodpecker.com/writing/essays/compression.html) | |
| Mundorf silver in oil cap burn in? Ecka- I don't know why I was thinking you had installed them in a pre-amp(mis-read apparently). The whole system would have to be in operation in the case of an amp mod(as you probably already know). Burn-in could be done with the speakers facing ... | |
| OK to use spades in bare wire terminal? The one-side-of-the-spade trick will work just fine. I've had to do it many times over the the years in testing situations. | |
| Calling all passive bi-ampers You may be able to obtain a copy of the manual or formulas from the seller in this auction. He mentions having a copy of the manual. (http://cgi.ebay.com/DAHLQUIST-DQ-LP1-passive-active-crossover_W0QQitemZ230247544266QQihZ013QQcategoryZ14977QQssPa... | |
| Mundorf silver in oil cap burn in? A faster/less painful way to burn them in: Use either a tuner, or CD player on repeat(something with heavy bass drive on either). Turn on only the source and pre-amp and let them run whenever you're not listening to the system. Your ears will love... | |
| Calling all passive bi-ampers That's exactly how the high-pass section of a Dahlquist DQ-LP1 Passive/Active x-over functions, though it may be necessary to add a resistor in parallel for proper alignment. Your amplifier is processing a full range signal otherwise, which is the... | |
| The Definition of An Audiophile Goldorak- She left and never really said why(at least that could hear). Thank you so much for the closure! | |
| The Definition of An Audiophile My reference has been live music(acoustic and amplified)as a sound tech for the past 30+ years. Rest assured: You have opened a can of worms with this thread. Live music is absolutely not "cold and sterile" unless terribly mal-adjusted by the soun... | |
| Ultra high resolution I'd have to personally know a used vinyl's history before I'd spend $60.00 on it. It may have been subjected to a second cutting lathe! I don't know how old DS is, but he was already a symphony orchestra performer(trumpet) when he quit to start Ma... | |
| Walker Audio- High Definition Links- anyone Enjoy your music!! | |
| Ultra high resolution Hey Dave- I got the 'Cannon' yesterday. Gotta love those horns! Doug Sax has yet to let me down(took me right into the studio). I think it's great they brought Nancy Wilson in to do her bit on this tribute. The album she and Adderley did in the ea... | |
| Ultra high resolution Make that, "definitely." | |
| Ultra high resolution Something else that has been overlooked: Not all of us are Classical Music lovers. The vast majority of my listening/tech work is done in intimate club settings, smaller auditoriums, and/or done with vocalists/instruments mic'd(or direct). Many of... |
