| Good News for "Threshold" Fans......... Charles: It has been pretty well publicized in various mags that Threshold ( the name ) is back in business. Since Nelson Pass was a large part of Threshold ( later sold to PS Audio ), i have to wonder who the "brains" behind this operation are ? ... | |
| Bi-Amp Question I see nothing wrong with what you are doing. One question though: Are you using an all metal "splitter" or is it a "Y cable" i.e. one male RCA that feeds two cables terminated with female RCA's ? I would recommend an all metal splitter over the ge... | |
| Bi-Amp Question There is no problem with doing what you ask. The sonics should improve so long as the quality of cabling used remains consistent and the way that you split the signal from preamp to amp is done in reasonable fashion. The only potential problem tha... | |
| Comments on "Spider EMC-1" v018998: That's good info. Nothing more frustrating than ordering a new toy and having something that won't work or is not quite what you expected show up. Between the wait and the disappointment, the thrill is somewhat gone even when the "right o... | |
| Solid State replacement for AI Modulus 3A. Lot of good and helpful information there Bigtee. Nice contribution. Sean> | |
| API PowerWedge IV?? Jeff: Here's a link to API's current product line at Audio Advisor. I couldn't find the model that you are talking about as it is probably an early model. It is probably worth a few hundred dollars. So long as you have enough outlets to supply you... | |
| Does your system reflect your personality? If such is the case, i must suffer from multi-personalities : ) Either way, both i and my systems are QUITE "disturbing" : ) Sean> | |
| What are the big boys using ? I've got two VPI 16.5's and a Nitty Gritty 1.5FI that i use to clean records with using the following approach. I try to do records in small batches as it makes things easier.Records are typically hand scrubbed using Disc Doctor brushes on both si... | |
| API PowerWedge IV?? From what i can gather, this is a device that uses several individual isolation transformers. My guess is that they are toroidal in design, so noise reduction may not be as good as if using a heavier, more expensive iron core E-I transformer, but ... | |
| Electronics Store Power Conditioner is a good buy? I haven't seen or used a Sola power regulator / conditioner, but i've been told by others that i know to stay away from them. That is, for use with audio gear. It may work like gangbusters for other applications though. Sean>PS... You should al... | |
| What are you all doing to modify your cds? Buscis: As i've said before, people should use and do what they think sounds best and gives them the most listening pleasure. I still think that.As far as markering, etc... sounding "better", i can't agree with that let alone test it out. When i h... | |
| What are you all doing to modify your cds? 4yanx: My thoughts on the article that i referenced are that they demonstrate that using some type of a "CD mat" is a negative, which the "DED" device demonstrated due to the need for added error correction. That is all that i wanted to show, noth... | |
| Bryston 4B gets HOT. Should I leave it on? Vetteman: Sounds like you are running something similar to what i'm doing, just in a different manner : )I've got six stereo amps and am running all 12 of their channels. They are arranged so that each amp runs only one frequency range of one chan... | |
| unico 80wpc enough for dynaudio contour 1.3 mkII? Dynaudio's typically work best with a LOT of power. Not being familiar with the Unico but having others state that it seems to be a bit shy of its' power rating tells me that this might not be a good combo. Without trying it, you might not ever kn... | |
| What are you all doing to modify your cds? 4yanx: Proof is in the eye and mind of the beer-holder. I look at it like this:Audio reproduction is a blend of human perceptions and science. Through science, we can break down and assess what we perceive as humans. When science can fully explain... |
