| Digital harshness or Clipping? I agree. It could be distortion of the recording equipment i.e. mic overload, clipping of the input stage, etc... The end result would be that it ended up on the recording and is not related to Marco's system giving out. When it comes to this type... | |
| Newbie with $1500 and a wife pushing for Bose Can we look at this logically without people getting upset with me for doing so?Do you folks recommending the Def Tech ProCinema 60 realize how big this room is? Not only is it 16 x 20, it also has an 18+ foot ceiling. There's quite a few cubic fe... | |
| One big subwoofer or two weaker subwoofers? Scott: Thanks for the laugh. Too bad my Dad didn't have a "sub" like that. Taking a date out for a ride in the "sub" and "running out of gas" or having "engine trouble" would have probably been FAR more effective going that route : ) Sean> | |
| Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory? Marco: You are probably closer in your description than of my "clutter" than Matty is. As to your question, i responded there prior to coming back to this thread. As such, "you've got mail" ( in that thread ). Sean> | |
| Properly connecting an isotaion transformer Vman: If you would like and since you can't use them right away, send me your cabling and i'll burn in it for a week or so and ship it back to you. This should give you a better idea of what to expect from your system right off the bat. One catch ... | |
| Newbie with $1500 and a wife pushing for Bose Sheesh. I overlooked that Eric already had a DVD/CD player. Maybe i need to read things a little better myself : ) Having said that, you can pocket the $80 that i recommended for the Panasonic DVD player or put that towards some new recordings to ... | |
| Should I upgrade my adcom 750 w/black gate caps Tgi: Passive mode simply turns the GFP-750 into a "switchbox" for what source ( CD, Tuner, Cassette, etc...) you want to listen to. There is no signal processing in terms of potential for gain ( added volume to what already exists ) or tone contro... | |
| Outputs of 2 amps share common return - problem? I would not do this nor recommend it. I'm sure that it has been done a million times before, but that doesn't mean that it works well or you won't be the one to experience problems. Sean> | |
| Digital harshness or Clipping? There was a recent article i read about this phenomena. According to recent studies, the human voice / speech reproduction system distorts as both amplitude and frequency climb. As such, many of the singers that can hit very high notes actually ha... | |
| Properly connecting an isotaion transformer I don't know what you have for speakers, listening room or listening levels, but i wouldn't run an amp that size with anything smaller than a 20 amp line and a 2.5 KVA transformer. I would really prefer to see an even larger transformer for this a... | |
| Newbie with $1500 and a wife pushing for Bose I didn't even think of the NAD "combo" unit. That would be both convenient and of good quality, but it doesn't do surround sound at all. My guess is that this was a big part of the equation since Eric stated "Almost 100% for movies/tv but want to ... | |
| Big caps v Little caps Boy, am i glad that this thread came up again. I re-read my post above and it is backwards. Gs had it right i.e. bigger caps have a lower ESR. I can remember posting this late at night, which is when i do most of my posting. I must have been very ... | |
| Should I upgrade my adcom 750 w/black gate caps One of my friends ( Lou S. ) that posts both here and on the Asylum has experimented with caps to a great extent. His findings are that Black Gates bypassed with Reliable Cap RT or RTX series caps work best. The Black Gates by themselves tend to l... | |
| Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory? Cdc: I am not a huge fan of most Goertz interconnects, so there must have been some type of mis-communications here. Having said that, i AM a huge fan of their flat speaker cables.As far as their "Micro-purl" interconnects go, they can work pretty... | |
| Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory? Dweller: Much of how long components can sit will depend on the temperatures that they are exposed to and the build quality of the components used. Due to the high voltages involved, it is easier for a cap to "go south" in these devices than it is... |
