Jul 06, 2003	Cable Costs Relative to System Homedesign: It is too bad that you didn't apply as much logic or research as you did passion to your post. Not all components are load stable, nor do all cables present the same feedpoint impedance, even when terminated with identical electrical c...
Jul 05, 2003	Decware Zen Monoblocks & Coincident Triumph Combo Brian Cheney of VMPS measured the output of a Zen amp and it was well below the rated output power. As such, it would only be a good candidate for those that use highly efficient speakers and / or only listen at very moderate levels. If you can fi...
Jul 05, 2003	Voltage Regulators & Sound Quality All i will say is that voltage regulation is VERY tricky to say the least. If you want to run the entire system from a device such as this, the circuit must be capable of MASSIVE amounts of current i.e. rated for well above what you'll ever pull o...
Jul 04, 2003	Great Bar Bands with Great CD's Thanks for the tips. I'll have to check into them. The problem that i've run into with hearing great "unknown" bands is that, many times, their live performances EASILY out-shine their studio efforts. While there is no price to pay for having a gr...
Jul 04, 2003	Record clamps The Sota I-Clamp is relatively light weight and easy to work with. I've used it on suspended tables that were not very "beefy" with no problems whatsoever. Just make sure that you don't "clamp" the record down, you simply want to hold it seated to...
Jul 04, 2003	Why so many problems with martin logan? Delivering a product that works is the manufacturer's responsibility. If the manufacturer doesn't take the necessary steps to provide safe delivery and the consumer or dealer ends up with a faulty product at the point of sale or delivery, who else...
Jul 04, 2003	Rattle from Ceramic art pieces I've used some "generic" Blue Tak and also thought that it was "stickier". The stuff that i tried came from a graphic arts supply store but i don't remember the name. As a side note, i think that all of this stuff will leave some type of oily resi...
Jul 04, 2003	DVD-A/SACD two box solution what do you think? Do you really feel the need to cover both formats ? Is there really enough recordings being released on either format to make either of them "mandatory" at this point in time ? While there are a few SACD recordings that are worth owning, there rea...
Jul 01, 2003	Pass X250, Classe CAM200 or... Having owned amps from all three manufacturers, the Pass is a walk away with the other amps seeing nothing but tail-lights and dust. As Bigkidz mentioned though, the Pass needs to remain powered up at all times to really sound its' best. You can t...
Jul 01, 2003	Need some audiogon expertise Creeper and Sogood bring up very valid points. VMPS products tend to be capable of good bass extension but typically sound bass heavy due to the slower transient response of a passive radiator. Obviously, speaker placement is critical and i'm assu...
Jun 28, 2003	Please help Sub not working You've got to track problems like this down by process of elimation.Feed the subwoofer output from the pre-pro to the channel of your amp that you have connected to one of your mains. Do this using the the regular interconnect from your mains, not...
Jun 28, 2003	Ohm Walsh speakers; Anyone have any experience Here are a few websites that discuss the Ohm A's, F's and later "Walsh series" of Ohm brand speakers. As a side note, i've included a link that discusses modified Hill Plasmatronics. Since Plasma drivers are "mass-less" and radiate in what is basi...
Jun 28, 2003	Ohm Walsh speakers; Anyone have any experience Zorpman: I don't doubt that the Dynaco's are stable driving the load. Quite honestly, while the Dynaco's may be up to the task in terms of brute force, i'm certain that there is plenty of room to move in terms of improved sonics. I'd be curious as...
Jun 27, 2003	Ohm Walsh speakers; Anyone have any experience Zorpman: My experience with the F's is that they have tremendous bottom end. Then again, they have a huge radiating surface area that is equivalent to multiple woofers. In a direct comparison to the mains that i'm using in my HT system ( two 12's ...
Jun 27, 2003	Ohm Walsh speakers; Anyone have any experience Zorpman: As you may be aware, i have two sets of Ohm F's. Not to side-track this thread, but i'd love to compare notes with you regarding your installation / experiences with the F's. We can do this publicly on this forum so that others can read o...
