| I need speakers for HT/2CH $1500...help What are you using as a center and surrounds? Are you looking for floorstanders or something smaller? Any specific mounting / speaker design limitations to deal with? Sean> | |
| Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't Tp: As Unsound stated, i wasn't trying to stifle input to these forums from professionals so much as trying to encourage "full disclosure". After all, knowing where someone is coming from can be just as helpful as the information provided. Since p... | |
| Sota turntable not SOTA,need help.Thanks. I agree. Call and talk t Kirk. He's very thorough, knowledgable and patient. He can walk you through anything that you are having a problem with. Sean> | |
| severe limiting factor Kevin emailed me with some specifics, so i'm responding here in hopes that this may help others and / or encourage further commentary that may benefit his situation.Your speakers are WAY too close together and you're sitting too far back from them... | |
| Cyro'd Outlets - Need strong hold on Elrods As some of my past posts have reflected, i'm a big fan of Hubbel products. Having said that, these specific P&S plugs have a noticeably better "grip". If you read the link that i provided above at VH Audio, Chris specifically mentions the comp... | |
| Dummy Load yes, all you have to do is connect them as you mentioned. That is, so long as the leads are long enough to allow bending to reach the amps' binding posts.Using three of them in parallel will produce an appr 2.2 ohm load, which is kind of low right... | |
| Alpha-core or perfect lay inductors for upgrading? The Goertz will work better as frequency rises. They have less skin effect and time smear, which is why their mid and treble response are more coherent. I discussed many of these benefits in a recent Goertz speaker thread.Having said that, if usin... | |
| Dummy Load Looks like Herman and i were posting at the same time. We are both on the same page, i just went the "over-kill" route : ) You can achieve much the same effect that i mentioned above by doubling up two of the resistors per channel that Herman link... | |
| Dummy Load Purchase a quantity of 14 of a part number 004-30 from Parts Express. You will end up using 7 per channel, all wired in parallel. This means that all seven resistors will have all their leads tied together on one side and tied together on the othe... | |
| severe limiting factor While components and cabling can drastically alter soundstage and imaging, a large percentage of what you'll hear will be attributed to how the speakers load into the room and where your listening position is in regards to those loading characteri... | |
| Newby question on watts... My guess is both a more rigid chassis and an improved / sturdier power supply. While the improvements to chassis construction can be debated, a sturdier power supply will typically be audibly obvious if one knows what to listen for. This becomes m... | |
| Cyro'd Outlets - Need strong hold on Elrods Take a look at the Pass & Seymour 5362AI's at Chris Ven Haus' VH Audio website. You have to scroll about halfway down the page to find them, but this may be what you're looking for. Sean> | |
| Want to buy for a power conditioner? Mark: Dedicated lines with a clean connection for the mains at the ground rod is the first place to start. If the mains aren't properly grounded at the service entrance, you are FAR more likely to experience noise from other devices within your ow... | |
| my $686 stereo system, laugh if you want... Bottomsup: You did a GREAT job and i bet your system sounds phenomenally good for the money spent. I thought i was good at finding "killer deals", but you've got me beat by a long-shot!!! Hat's off to you, your system and the spirit of "bang for t... | |
| How long to burn in Rotel rcd 1072? Select a disc that offers both a high average listening level AND a wide frequency response to it i.e. lots of deep bass, lots of extended treble and a loud recording. Let this play in the machine on repeat 24/7 for as long as you can. Obviously, ... |
