| Who uses long interconnect like in dealers? I typically look for VERY long runs of interconnects and cut them down / reterminate them myself. Since most people aren't using long runs of interconnects, the market for great lengths just isn't there and the seller ends up taking a bath when th... | |
| Why go with active preamp? If your CD player has a volume control on it and can easily drive your power amp into saturation, i see no reason to go active in a case like yours. Sean> | |
| InfiniCap Vs AuriCap I agree / disagree with both Sportinlife and Herman. Personally, i think that either the Infinicap or Auricap is a more neutral and better sounding cap than the Solen. Which one you like better in that specific piece of gear or your system is a pe... | |
| How did you hear about Audiogon? Another "good" name for the forums might be "Comparing Notes". Get it ??? : ) Sean> | |
| Home HiFi better than Live? I agree with a lot of what Pbb mentioned. Many bands simply aren't capable of playing live with the intensity that is presented in their studio efforts. As such, this is not only a let-down in terms of sonics, it is a let down in terms of overall ... | |
| How did you hear about Audiogon? I found Audiogon somewhere around 7 years ago while doing a search for used audio gear. From what i can remember, it had just gone on-line at that point in time. That is, in the current format that most people recognize Agon in today. I did not be... | |
| Cleaning & polishing speakers & gear S7Horton: What do you put on speaker cabinets that are 20+ years old in order to keep them from drying out and preserve what's left of their natural beauty ? If paste wax is your "end all" answer, what brands do you recommend and how often should ... | |
| Understanding cartridges ? "Z" did a very nice job of summing things up. Hats off to him for contributing a very concise and useful post.As a general rule, most MC ( moving coil ) cartridges work best with arms of medium to high mass and most MM ( moving magnet ) or MI ( mo... | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers I don't know about the Bel Canto's or Spectron's but the PS HCA-2 does not respond very linearly as impedance is changed. Both frequency response and distortion are effected as impedance varies. Sean> | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers Hmmmm.... Thanks for the info Btstrg. I'll have to check with my sources and see what the deal is. Sean> | |
| Math calculations about the speed of a TT..help... Very informative responses. Thanks for sharing your knowledge folks. Taught me something new today. Sean> | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Same thing goes for a rush of Pass gear listed within the last 24 hours. People are either moving onto other / newer gear or hurting for cash. Sean> | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers From what i've been told, both Sound Labs & Martin Logan ( as companies and manufacturers ) have ordered or already have the new Parasound JC-1's in their reference systems. As i mentioned in another thread before, if i had the money, i'd have... | |
| Anyone using a Marchand crossover??? I'm using a Marchand XM9-3 Deluxe and have no complaints about it. Like anything else, it is built to a price point and can be upgraded as one feels the need. It does have some nice features ( such as the "blend" circuit ) that other crossovers la... | |
| VMPS RM40 better than Dunlavy IVa? Not having heard both speakers but being familiar with the designs, i'm thinking that there would be a marked difference in presentation. For one thing, you're talking about an all dynamic driver system ( Dunlavy ) against a hybrid ribbon / dynami... |
