| Modern "Vintage" Sounding Preamps The lower level CJ PVs are what you want. | |
| Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question? I hope you meant to type incorrect. The Magnepan magnetic-planar drivers have wire conductors glued onto the mylar diaphram. You are right the new models don't have wires glued to the mylar anymore, it's a printed circuit now. You might call... | |
| Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question? bdp24 has it 100% correct. | |
| Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question? The tweeter section on the non-ribbon Magnepans are not perfect. The 1.7 can sound pretty decent with the right amp but never as good as the ribbon tweeter 3.7. | |
| flabbergasted with reviews on speakers Are speaker sensitivity real... They are real but not the whole answer. Impedance and phase angle are also important. | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? If operating balanced and the volume winds up being higher, its a sign that the equipment does not support the balanced standard. I’m not an electrical engineer but a lot of amps have the balanced outputs at plus 3db. Not sure why or how, perha... | |
| Does a cartridge that has been in storage for an extended period need play time… The materials that support the cantilever do degrade. It's a maintenance item. | |
| Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers @russ69 i would think he needs something decent sounding for the 5 channels The Parasound A51 is about all I could recommend....and that's 5 grand. | |
| And a Happy Festivus to all! I already did the feat of strength, I lifted a big ass subwoofer. P.S. I have a lot of problems with you people! | |
| OK-- I think I get it, now... Just be sure to enjoy the ride. | |
| Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers 10 channels for 1,000-2,000 bucks, you are talking mass consumer gear. | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? Don't put single ended and balanced cables in the same system, unless they are not differentially balanced. I'm pretty sure the connection between components with balanced cables still works regardless of what is upstream or downstream. | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? ...Balanced pre & amp will provide 6db additional gain and reject noise. It's a clear advantage... Sometimes the added gain will show up as noise in your loudspeakers and you'll need to attenuate the gain. Balanced cables are most useful f... | |
| Looking for amp to go with Triangle Borea Br08 ....300W per channel, same 32 volt wall wart power supply! Why pay more? Wait until you hear a real 300wpc amp. One with big power supplies and large capacitors. | |
| What combo would you choose and why Not trying to be a smart ass but I don't see much to save. I'd get a good 3 way tower and a decent integrated amp. If I was forced to keep some of your gear maybe the Odyssey Lorelei but it would have to be paired to some really good electronics. |
