| Good Inwall Speakers The mechanical and electrical aspects of a driver have to be specifically tuned to operate without some type of a box enclosing them. If you try to do with a typical driver that is not specifically designed for it, the results are not very good. W... | |
| Tube Pre for Klipschorn I've used various Mosfet based amps on several different pairs of Klipsch products with different levels of performance. With a modified B&K, the system was actually pretty dark sounding ( believe it or not ). With a Perreaux, the sound was bo... | |
| Sunfire Sunfire Signature Series II Have you experimented with speaker placement and room acoustics to a great extent ? Using bi-polar speakers can make placement FAR more critical than if one were using "standard" front-firing models. If you have complete confidence that you have e... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize No problem Buscis. As i've mentioned, these forums should be about sharing and learning for the good of the community, regardless of who can help provide the info. I couldn't remember the exact cutting angle anyhow : )As far as trying to duplicate... | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? Newbee: I agree with your clarification whole-heartedly. If you notice, the first part of my original post stated that i thought that the components selected could result in such a problem as Yxlei was describing. I also stated that Yxlei should t... | |
| Tube Pre for Klipschorn For those that are technically minded and interested in highly advanced tube designs that are both linear and built with common sense , try taking a look at Norm Koren's website. Just bring your "audiophile approved bullet-proof vests" with you a... | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? Newbee: While i know that your "invitation to debate" was made to Bob & Mejames, i'm going to butt in ( what else is new ??? ) and throw some thoughts your way.If you know what passive components go into building a tone control or filter ( and... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Sam: I have purchased discs that were markered and / or "cut" from local music shops without even knowing it. That is, until i got them home. Quite honestly, the markered discs bothered me more than the "cut" discs for the above mentioned reasons.... | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? I agree with the others that have stated that you have selected components / cabling / speakers that are all on the lean side of neutral. Having said that, work with what you have, especially speaker placement. This can really sway the tonal balan... | |
| How much power do you need for realistic HT? How much power you need will depend on the speakers being used, the size of the room and your seated listening distance from the speakers. The less efficient and lower impedance the speakers are, the more power that you'll need. The louder you wan... | |
| Loading times / problems on Agon ??? The funny thing about this is that it took me 5 times of trying to submit the original post that started this thread before it finally took. I know that others have had similar problems as they've even started a thread over on AA about this too.I'... | |
| Speakers you regret selling If you find something that you like but doesn't exactly fit the system that you have, why sell it ? Now you've got another reason to build another system that is better suited to getting the best out of those speakers : ) Sean> | |
| Next Generation SACD Players We'll be coming up on third generation of SACD players yet we still don't have much of a selection to choose from. As such, Sony should concentrate on making Hybrid discs available at reasonable prices. This would encourage those interested in the... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize To expound upon what Buscis2 stated about the Audio Desk Systeme "cd cutter", i find that it tends to:1) Produce a more liquid presentation. Much of the harshness and glare are removed, the sound is more "organic" and the presentation is more cohe... | |
| Looking for clean power Rives & other interested parties: Drop me an email and i'll point you in the right direction. I know of a source that has limited quantities of various KVA ratings. Just be forewarned that these units are typically in excess of 100+ lbs and th... |
