| Is the moscode 600 a great amplifier? Replace the tubes with either Siemens E188CC/7308 or CCa, and the sound will be transformed greatly. Then there's the upgrade path as well: (http://moscode.home.att.net/M_mods_upgrades.html) People don't ususally bother with modding products that ... | |
| Ultra high resolution One caveat Dave: If you listen at realistic SPLs, and have woofers with output in the bottom octave(20 to 40hz on CDs anyway):turn the volume down a bit for cuts #4 and #8. If the CD doesn't generate some serious toe-tappin': check your pulse!! Ha... | |
| Ultra high resolution Dave- I'll bet you'd enjoy 'A Twist of Motown' on GRP(if you don't already have it). Lee Ritenour produced it(a lot of contemporary jazz greats doing a collection of motown standards). On a couple cuts the bass can get a tad heavy, but other than ... | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp Sashav- I should have included this with my last post, RE: Availablility of a balanced Placette. Read the last two paragraphs on page one of this review:(http://placetteaudio.com/reviewpage1.htm) You may want to download and check out this review ... | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp Sashav- I used the Placette Passive Linestage for few years. The Placette Passives(you may already know) use no attenuator at all. They are a resistor ladder, built exclusively of Vishay Bulk Foil resistors(virtually invisible in an audio circuit)... | |
| Ultra high resolution Dave- If you play a lot of gigs, you can probably tell the difference between Zildjians and Sabians when listening to a good system. Likewise- Can probably appreciate a soundman that knows what a Les Paul(or Strat, etc.) are supposed to sound like... | |
| Ultra high resolution Nilthepil- For vinyl: Crystal Clear, MFSL, Telarc Digital, Sheffield Labs, Audioquest, Groove Note, just about anyone that bothered/bothers to press on virgin, or extra thick vinyl from original master tapes, and a lot of the Columbia Masterworks ... | |
| Ultra high resolution I believe everyone in here will probably have a different idea/perspective/angle/semantic use for the term, "resolution". I get to hear live music twice a week, both amplified and acoustic as a sound tech. That requires me to hear the instruments/... | |
| Speaker cable for B&W 703's Here's somone selling two pair of 7' 4TC cables: (http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?cablspkr&1211471382) | |
| Speaker cable for B&W 703's Use the same cable(and same length) for both top and bottom. Mixing cables when passively biamping can result in freq. response problems. Kimber's 4TC and 8TC have been around, and very popular, for a long time. It's hard to beat their performance... | |
| Question on amp power and speaker ohms. Try it set on 4 ohm for a while, then on 8, and see which you prefer. Most tubed amps output less power into 4 ohms than 8(an output transformer winding thing). My Maggies are 6 ohm nominal, and I'm running them on the four ohm taps of my amps. | |
| Silver Plated Copper Balanced Cables The Kimber line includes the Silver Streak, which is the only interconnect that has a silver and copper mix of conductors. (http://www.kimber.com/Products/Interconnects/SilverStreak/SilverStreak.aspx) The KCAG is silver and silver, very transparen... | |
| Ultra high resolution Chris- All I can add to what Atmasphere said is, "AMEN". This is an excerpt from the Mark Levinson site: "Another factor in Mark Levinson excellence is the array of the ultra-high performance parts that populate our balanced circuits. Even the cir... | |
| Power factor correction None of the "power conditioners" that I'm aware of are actually correcting power factor. They eliminate the hash/noise/RFI/EMI from the incoming AC, protect from spikes and some stabilize the voltage. Someone out there has probably looked at corre... | |
| Ultra high resolution Joey- Don't worry, It really doesn't. Actually: Some mil-spec suppliers(Vishay, Caddock, etc) are used extensively in the best audio gear for their low noise resistors (http://www.ecircuitcenter.com/Circuits/Noise/Noise_Analysis/res_noise.htm), BU... |
