| Bose 901...really Eldartford- I missed that last sentence. Hey- If it works, and you're happy: don't change it!! Just build your airplane around it. Maybe if you keep it in the corners, your wife won't notice? Tell her it's an acoustic treatment to eliminate spurio... | |
| Bose 901...really Good old Amar's first concoction was the "2601" and had that many speakers(26, or was it 28?) arrayed on the surface of what looked like 2 segments(eighths) of a huge grapefruit that sat in the corners of the room. Of course, the speakers were the... | |
| Where can I find a RS1b bass driver? I've bought a lot of parts(cones/surrounds) from Millersound. A very knowledgeable and pleasant person to deal with! He would be my recommendation as well. | |
| Bose 901...really Hi Eldartford- I envy you for your soundroom. If I had a room that big, I'd be torn between using it as a listening room, or rebuilding my cars/bike in there(too many loves, not enough room). I've a number of recordings that were done personally, ... | |
| Extreme Midrange Bloom Those teflon V-Caps do sound intriguing. AudioCap has teflon/tin foil caps as well. Same manufacturer as the MultiCaps I recommended. These caps are the creations of one Richard Marsh(the founder of Marsh Sound Design). If you know how good his el... | |
| Getting back to members on passive vs active lines Addendum: SS output impedances would be more stable than tubed. My CD player employs no buffers at all. Here is a review, and measurements comparing the outputs of two Cary CD players, the same except for one employing a tubed output section. Noti... | |
| Getting back to members on passive vs active lines The output impedence of your CD player will vary with frequency. IE: My BAT VK-D5's output impedence measures between 880 to 910 in the middle and high freqs, but goes to 8475ohms at the lowest(single-ended). Balanced- it's 980s to 1200s, and 17kO... | |
| Tube amps have a signature sound Bigkidz- If you bi-amp correctly, you'll never go back. For instance, read this: (http://www.avguide.com/products/product-1672/) Click on the review. I'd been using a Dahlquist DQLP-1(slightly modded over the years) since 1981 with great results. ... | |
| Extreme Midrange Bloom Tweeking equipment is not very difficult, and can yield outstanding results when applied to an already good piece of gear. I've used the MultiCap film and foil polystyrenes, and auriCAPs to excellent result(very transparent). Always buy in 2% matc... | |
| Bose 901...really Bose 901s can be EQ'd using any graphic Equalizer with enough boost at both ends of the spectrum. The DEQ 2496 just does so automatically and in the digital domain, plus compensating for the curve of the room(which the Bose EQ does not). It won't ... | |
| Extreme Midrange Bloom If you know what to listen for, and thrill to the sound of live music in a real venue: nothing beats tubes. Any equipment(tube or SS) takes time to sound it's best. Taking the time to burn in gear, and taste various tubes, is an act of love for so... | |
| Extreme Midrange Bloom Frontier1- Please, let us know your estimation of the sound of the BAT(with both tubes sets) after it's burned in. Thanx! | |
| Best small signal tube for a preamp? You're right Mitch- If a piece of equipment is already too bright or forward sounding, the CCa's might be too much(like a lot of cable mis-matches). I've found with the BAT VK-D5, CCa's and a pair of Kimber Select 1130s: everything encoded on the ... | |
| Best small signal tube for a preamp? "I have used the CCa's Rodman99999 talks about in a SF Line 3 SE I used to own, and they are nice but maybe a touch on the clear/extended/neutral side of things compared to the better Amperex's which are a little more in the rich/organic/full-soun... | |
| Extreme Midrange Bloom How many hours do have on this unit? Most take 200 before sounding their best. Some interconnects can interact and cause anomalies as well. If this is a new unit- give it some time. You can burn it in by playing your CD (on repeat) through it with... |
