| Marantz AV-9000 processor loses its mind ... I had an AV-9000 for a short period of time but didn't become intimate with the internals. Having said that, this is strictly a guess.Many devices that use digital processing make use of a "memory battery". These are used so as to store specific u... | |
| Differences between Quad 405 and 405/2 I have a review of the original 405 in a 1979 "Audio" magazine. While the amp was rated rather strangely in terms of many of the spec's, it went measurably down in power output going from an 8 ohm to a 4 ohm load. From what i can remember, we are ... | |
| Cross over frequency ??? Kgveteran: Glad you are making progress. It's always good to hear that someone is willing to experiment and learn on their own AND the results that they obtain from doing such are to their liking. This can only encourage that person and others tha... | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? kpaudio: Dunlavy was an engineer first and then a music lover. The amount of detail that he put into his research and designs demonstrates this. As such, his products strived to be the best that he could deliver on a technical basis while trying t... | |
| Differences in CD players? Am I crazy? Tomek: the biggest differences with "good" digital gear as compared to "average" digital gear is VERY noticeable. That is, if the rest of the system is capable of revealing such things.Many of the differences are not "in your face" changes, but ma... | |
| Jump Factor There is a disc that my Brother and i use as part of our "reference listening sessions" when comparing gear. As such, we've heard this track a million times. It has some very fast and dynamic percussive sounds that are of great impact and that's w... | |
| Review: Neuance Platforms for cd & tt Tweak Glad to hear it. I just picked up an earlier version of a Neuance shelf about a week ago but haven't gotten around to putting it into one of my systems. After reading many of Ken's posts and just recently talking to him for an extended period of t... | |

| PS Audio Power Pant vs Shunyata Hydra conditioner Lrsky: The biggest problem with the PS Power Plants would be their lack of efficiency. They consume gobs of power and produce a lot of heat to do what they do. If you don't mind paying 200% to make sure that you get your full 100% and are not worr... | |
| Feedback/Ideas for New Magazine? Plato: Since others have brought it up, any "magazine" that is available in downloadable form should be able to print out in like fashion. Many people don't want to spend as much time on the puter as we do. Besides that, we all need "good" reading... | |
| Cross over frequency ??? El: The Marchand "blending control" or "damping" adjustment as Phil calls it works fabulously. I'm sure that you'll be happy with this once you get it running. Sean> | |
| My M20s were humbled Phasecorrect: Nothing produces a soundstage like a point source radiator that dispurses 360* horizontally. I've got monitors with time aligned stepped baffles that are treated with damping material and there's NO comparison between the two. Sean> | |
| Feedback/Ideas for New Magazine? Plato: I have no problem paying for something that i enjoy and feel to be a reliable source of info. I have stated publicly on AA and on this forum that i wouldn't mind paying as much as $10 an issue ( subscription price ) for a really good mag th... | |
| Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma.. El: I was being a smart ass. I agree'd with what you were saying, hence the "smiley". No smiley here as i'm being serious in this response. Sean> |
