| Does biamping w/ SS + tubes work? Two different sound characters at the crossover point has not worked for me, but some people are more sensitive to this than others. You just have to try it. | |
| rack mount ? Put it where it is needed the most. | |
| Placement of components in audio rack No, you have it right except I prefer to have the amp in a separate stand instead of in a rack. I am a believer in not having anything sticking up between the speakers, but I like to keep my speaker wire runs short, so I place the amp between the ... | |
| How best to sell Hafler DH200/220 modified? You should subscribe to the Audiogon blue book to help you with pricing. | |
| Replacing capacitors for my ARC VS110 The caps that are suitable for your amp are the ones Audio Research installed during manufacture. I have heard these so called upgraded Audio Research amps and preamps and I can assure you it is not an upgrade. It's hard to beat the engineers at ARC. | |
| 6x4 tube differences in a Fosgate phono preamp? The best 6X4 in the original Quicksilver preamp was GE. Quicksilver updated the rectifier from 6X4 to 5AR4 because the 6X4 did not hold up well. Many considered the 6X4 version of that preamp a design flaw because of that tube, so be careful when ... | |
| Inexpensive Transport California Audio Labs Delta transport is excellent. One thing to remember when choosing a transport is that all transports have a sound of their own not to mention trying to find the right digital cable. You may want to consider an all in one CD p... | |
| Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's? Krell does bass better than anything else. However, I don't think Vandersteen 2Cs need help in that area. If you want the best from your 2Cs use Audio Research. | |
| setting-up rel strater-3 The Sumiko website just shows the owner's manuals. The problem with using one recording, like Sneakers, is you optimize your system for that one recording. I recommend always using a variety of recordings and find the setting that works well with ... | |
| setting-up rel strater-3 REL subwoofers have to be the easiest subwoofers to set up. Just follow the manual and you can't go wrong. No one here can give you advice because your room has a great deal of influence on bass. | |
| Bi-amping LF with high-powered pro amplifiers The real question here is, how compatible will the bass amp be with your existing amp? If you are going to biamp it is better to use the same amplifiers so you do not here a change in character at the crucial crossover point. There are some except... | |
| How are Hig-End Speakers Priced? I know of a speaker manufacturer who's speaker was priced at $15,000. At the time the speaker was expensive, but the speakers were labor intensive with all drivers broken in prior to matching and the cabinets were custom manufactured on site then ... | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used I'm not a big fan of Totem although my experience is with the Model One. It requires a great deal of high quality power to become balanced. If you are a late night lower volume listener the sound would be lean. | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used Sunnyjim, I have decided to check out the 301s also. I have to find out for myself since there has been so much controvercy about Bose in general. My friend says the bass is insanely good and the speaker presents a big relaxed sound with excellent... | |
| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used Sunnyjim, $500-$550 is what VR-1s sell for. What do reviewers know about speaker value? They don't pay for anything. If I were selling VR-1s I wouldn't sell them for $375 either. Speakers for $375 don't come with a beautifully finished wood cabine... |
