| Klipsch Lascalla pro edition The Pro LaScala's used a different woofer than the standard "consumer" version. This woofer is capable of greater low frequency response, especially if you modify the cabinets. I can't remember the rest of the differences but i know that this is b... | |
| Warrenty and lifespan of cd players Wouldn't you know it. My Sony DVP, which was their top of the line model when i bought it a few years ago, just went belly up. The audio portion works fine but the something is very wrong with the video portion. From what i can tell, it looks like... | |
| How often do you have to tuneup Linn Sondek LP12 Lugnut: There are many people here who like the Linn. They just don't have as big a mouth as i do : ) Sean> | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... Infinitebaffle: You are listening to the spec's whether you think you are or not. If the spec's you're looking at don't correlate with the sound that you're hearing, the spec's were either obtained in an incorrect manner, the circuitry was poorly ... | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... Z: While many of your technical comments are quite valid, the fact that these units show marked deviation in any form is testimony in itself that products aren't being designed for neutrality or accuracy. As such, they should no longer be referred... | |
| Isolation feet/pads with minimal verticle height You've created a situation that you can't rectify with simple tweaks as far as i know. Not only do you have to worry about resonances / vibrations, but also magnetic fields from transformers, the proximity of AC cords to signal cables, etc... If y... | |
| the best amp to run the bass of infinity RS-1b's Judging from past experiences, i would consider the Classe' and Perreaux long before either of the others. A Sunfire Signature with their factory "low impedance mods" aka "Apogee mods" would also be a good candidate. These are rated at 600 wpc @ 8... | |
| Need more info on the Electron Kinetics Eagle-7A Kana: That's a good suggestion about measuring the DC leakage. My brother did this after having problems with some speakers. What he found was that one amp was passing 3 volts of DC on one channel and 2.5 volts on the other. Luckily, this problem ... | |
| Warrenty and lifespan of cd players Leo: I've had Magnavox cdp's, modified Magnavox cdp's, Philips cdp's, etc... For that matter, my Brother has had some of the same. All of them went down in a relatively short period of time. Even my latest Philips, the SACD 1000 took a dive about ... | |
| Need more info on the Electron Kinetics Eagle-7A Kana: My comments are not only based on the technical measurements that John Curl obtained when testing this unit, but the suitability of this product for Rick's specific intended use. From my past experience with the Perreaux 2150's, these amps t... | |
| Cross over frequency ??? That is the problem with many HT processors i.e. the lack of bass management. They want us to run a million speakers for all this surround stuff, but they won't provide us with the actual versatility in these units to do so properly. The only alte... | |
| Need more info on the Electron Kinetics Eagle-7A Here's a clickable link. I really wish Audiogon would fix that. Maybe they aren't aware of this problem ??? Sean>http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1014011751&read&keyw&zzac=polarity | |
| Need more info on the Electron Kinetics Eagle-7A Rick: I apologize for not getting back to you after last time we spoke. Too many things going on and not enough brain cells to keep track of them.Here's the thread that i made mention of: [url=http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1014... | |
| Warrenty and lifespan of cd players "Good" CD players last a LONG time. 7 years to 15 years would be the norm in my guess. From my experience, stock Philips players don't last as long as many other brands. Sony's seem to last a long, long time. Other than that, digital technology is... | |
| midfi turntable cable: revealing vs. forgiving You have to take into considerations the electrical characteristics of this cable before changing it. Since most phono cartridges are quite sensitive to impedance changes, use a cable that is low in capacitance and very low loss. Sean> |
