| Eliminating humming & buzzing If your receiver has a two prong power cord and the prongs are both sized the same, it is possible that you have the receiver oriented for the "least correct" AC polarity. If you can, unplug the receiver from the AC, turn the receiver on and let i... | |
| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? Pbb: I try to call it as i see it. As such, sometimes i might be someone's friend and sometimes i might be someone's enemy. Either way, thanks for the kind words : )As a side note and something that i find kind of a "funny coincidence" given what ... | |
| Need Advise Audiobugged: He stated USPS ( United States Postal Service ), not UPS ( United Parcel Service ). Bioman: Give it another day or two but stay in contact with the buyer throughout that period of time. There is nothing worse than feeling like your ge... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. You guys are cracking me up and disturbing the class at the same time. Sit up straight, look forward and pay attention : ) Sean> | |
| Moving to Horn speakers Which Lowther drivers are these and what are they rated at in terms of 1w / 1m in stock form ? Sean> | |
| Which Pre/Pro regardless of $$$ For reasons having to do with product support, you'll probably want to remove Tag Mclaren from your list of candidates. Sean> | |
| Moving to Horn speakers So long as one uses a reasonable amount of caution, too much power in an amp is typically not as much of a problem as not enough power. Having said that, my thoughts are that Lowther's are more fragile than most "hi-fi" type drivers, so treat them... | |
| Compare and Contrast That specific CJ model has very limited power bandwidth. This means reduced speed with a lack of leading edge information. I would suspect that it is somewhat veiled sounding with a lack of high frequency "air", resolution and transient "snap". If... | |
| I'm confused Gunbei: Are you green with an odd shaped head and hang around with a horse named "Pokey" ? Oh, nevermind. Wrong fictional guy, similar name... : )As for my center channel, the cabinet is quite large at appr 4 cu ft. This is an obvious advantage wh... | |
| Need Advise If you insured the package, someone has to sign for it. That in itself will provide proof of delivery and the date received. If you didn't insure it, you are at the mercy of the individual that you are dealing with and their level of honesty. If y... | |
| Slappys Sob Story. So long folks Sorry to hear about your situation. Hopefully, the goals that you are working towards achieving in the future will allow you to look back at lessons that you've learned from these hard times and laugh. Best wishes and good luck with both the house... | |
| I'm confused Gunbei: My HT system consists of "large" speakers i.e. the mains have dual 12's and an 8", the center has dual 8's in a large box, the rears have two 10's and an 8", etc... As such, i've not had to tinker with various settings. With that in mind, ... | |
| Is a cable cooker worth it? Geoffkait and Philefreak basically echo what i said many moons ago. That is, even if you've had your cables in a system for a LONG period of time, burning cables in will still improve their performance to a very noticeable extent. Having said that... | |
| Contemplating other amps If what you said here is true, "I like to play it loud and listen more for clean delivery, soundstage and headroom than details and nuance", you've given up on the amp that was best suited for your needs. That is, the Sunfire Signature series. Out... | |
| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? The advent and use of laser technology and the ability to incorporate such precision may be the final frontier in terms of building precision phono cartridges. Being able to trim "pieces of the puzzle" to within milli-micrometers and micro-grams a... |
