| Threshold input sensitivity Lngbruno: He needs the input sensitivity, not the input impedance. I've tried looking up info on this amp, but can't find that specific spec. If one of you two can tell me what years this unit was made, i can probably come up with the answer. My g... | |
| Tonearm/table compatibility? Don't forget that an arm change requires a new armboard. You should factor that into the equation too if you don't want any financial surprises at the last minute. If you want to use an MC cartridge, stick with an arm that is of at least medium ma... | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). Jayctoy: You and your buddy are the kind of guys i'd like to kill : )I have a few customers that are easily rattled. Their buddies / co-workers know this and screw with them all the time. One of these customers used to come into my shop 2 - 3 time... | |
| Phantom Center sound better than a center speaker? El: the fact that you have your speakers spread out in opposite corners tells me that you probably do need a center to fill in the gap. Like i said, the closer that the speakers are together, the less likely you are to need a center channel. Sean> | |
| Bob Carver Architect's Choice Series II SunfireAmp That would be the Signature series if it has Bob's name on the faceplate. This is the bigger ( and better in my opinion ) model. As far as factory mods go to this unit, i don't know if they do the "low impedance" aka "Apogee mod" to these or not. ... | |
| Bob Carver Architect's Choice Series II SunfireAmp Peter: Saw your email first and responded to you privately. Promod: Which Sunfire do you have ? There are factory mods that can be done to some of these amps that will improve current delivery. This in turn increases bass output in a very noticeab... | |
| Power cords,15A and 20A.What's the difference? A 20 amp cord is not only capable of passing more current for sustained duration, it will have a different type of power plug on it that will only work in a 20 amp wall receptacle. As such, the two types of power cords are only interchangable if y... | |
| Are today's interconnects really better? S23chang: If you keep giving away hints like this concerning vintage gear ( with some basic internal upgrades ) and modern cabling, we won't be able to get such good deals on those "crusty old relics" ( i.e. "old, reliable gems" ) for much longer ... | |
| Suggestions on recovering Deluxe Room Tune Most any hobby / craft store will have various materials. If you want something that is quite rugged yet inexpensive, you can usually find burlap in black or brown. This works quite well and isn't reflective at higher frequencies. Be careful of us... | |
| Do I really need a crossover when running 2 amps? I agree with El and Timo, but on different points. If you REALLY want to have a revelation, get rid of your internal crossover and go electronic. Passive bi-amping compared to active bi-amping with "direct drive" ( no passive crossovers between am... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Lot of great music / musicians listed here, but how about some of those "talentless hacks" that don't know what "technique" is yet somehow manage to make you want to tear the house down playing air guitar ? Some great "get in / get out" type guita... | |
| Musical Fidelity Turntable? Hmmm... I wonder where you read that at David ??? : ) Sean> | |
| what is dynamic headroom? Gs: "As far as damping factor is concerned, a ratio of speaker impedance to total output impedance greater than 10 will adequately control most cone drivers."Does this mean that an amp with an output impedance of .1 ohm will be able to control a s... | |
| Worthwhile $5 Tweak Errivera: Can you at least confirm whether this was a tubed or SS preamp for us ? My guess is tubes. Sean> | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Z: THAT should tell you something right there. It's been a LONG time : ) Sean> |
