| CD Player with Volume Control "...attenuating in the digital domain..." Not my favorite thing for many reasons. OP just needs a passive volume control, much better without stripping information. | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? You first have to know what a good system sounds like. You do that by auditioning the very top performing loudspeakers and equipment. Find the sound you like, then move down the product line until you can afford the product and still gives you a t... | |
| Help, MC7270 with 2 pairs, Serial or Parallel A serial hookup would keep the impedance high which is usually less stressful. It's a powerful amp with taps for low impedance so I think you would be OK either way. If it plays well on the 8 ohm taps, you are all set. | |
| looking to upgrade - identify the weakest link? There is lots of room for improvement. I'd start with a pair of Forte IVs. Probably a better match for your amp. I'd also shorten the path of your source as much as possible you got a long and low quality path before it gets to your amp, that is n... | |
| Building my 1st real system. Need advice. Hoping to pair Luxman507uxii/Dyaudio Evoke20. "...The only recommendations you will get here are what people already own or have owned..." Better than any other audition.... | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? Turn mute on or volume all the way down, whenever you turn stuff on or off or switch inputs. If thump is not loud you will be OK. | |
| Using SUBWOOFERS internal crossover... "...I'm totally convinced...routing it through yet another piece of equipment...is a bad idea. At least on this sub it is..." This is not a problem usually. It sounds like there might be something wrong with the sub crossover. I would not make ge... | |
| Best Way to Split Amplifier Output Frequencies to Main Speakers and Subwoofer DBX makes a nice crossover. | |
| Why I sold my Magnepan .7's "...Oh come on I dont subscribe to this placement thing Nor faulting electronics. My FR can be placed anywhere in the room and sound super,, stick it in a card board box, above 200hz the speaker would sound fantastic..." You are not a Magnepan cu... | |
| Understanding ohms Old gear is really hard to quantify today. Often using high levels of negative feedback to get low distortion numbers, the sound of these older receivers is not always that great. Personally I would not run vintage equipment very hard, I have done... | |
| Why I sold my Magnepan .7's I'll leave this here for people interested in the Magnepan .7. Placement is critical as we all know. I was a confirmed tweeter on the inside guy but with my change in hearing and the .7s, they seemed better dispersed with the tweeters on the outsi... | |
| Sexiest New 'Vintage'-Style Integrated/Amp/Receiver The Yamaha looks great but it's the sound that matters more than looks. I'd tend to look at Musical Fidelity or a Vincent before a mass market brand. | |
| Musical fidelity M6SI problem. Crackling sounds are usually a dirty potentiometer. Some tuner spray fixes that. It is rare for caps to go bad in just a few years and I'm not sure what a "power unit" is. Very curious. | |
| Rogue Audio ST-100 versus Atlas Magnum III The price might be one tip-off that although the specs are similar, there is a difference in the amps. | |
| Mc 240 vs. Prima Luna Doubling up your existing amp will not gain much. You'll have the same sound and 3db more power, just not worth the trouble. Although mono-blocks are better than stereo amps, bridging a stereo amp is not the same thing as a pure mono-block amp. A ... |
