| FYI: Goertz Zobel Networks Audioengr: I shouldn't have phrased that the way that i did. Let me say that non-polarized capacitors have a specific orientation to them and each orientation will have a sound of its' own. The key is to find which orientation sounds best to you i... | |
| equipment interface to rack tweaks Rhl: Kind of amazing the difference that a rack can make, isn't it ? Quite honestly, i had read various reports about the sonics of various racks and always thought it was "hype". After experiencing something like that first hand with several diff... | |
| equipment interface to rack tweaks I agree pretty much with The Audiotweak. My experience with the MGD Deluxe Justarack was that it sounded phenomenally bloated and indistinct on the bottom end while completely destroying the harmonic structure and the "air" around instruments. I k... | |
| Anyone have feedback on the CINEPRO 3K6SE GOLD ?? Ahhhh.... this thread looks like it was started by someone that is in the business of selling / supporting these products, but done so in somewhat of an under-handed manner. As such, it is kind of in poor taste and should be considered nothing les... | |
| FYI: Goertz Zobel Networks Non-polarized capacitors are polarized, so you can orient them one way and get one sound / reading and flip them around and get different sound / readings.As to mounting the zobel's at the amp or speaker, at the speaker is always the preferred met... | |
| song title that is memorable Eddaytona: That is a song by The Dickies aka "The Incredible Shrinking Dickies".Since we are wandering down that lane, i'll add a few of the tamer ones that i can remember:"You drive me ape, you big gorilla" by the Dickies"Bring on the nubiles" an... | |
| song title that is memorable If Wesley Willis is the guy that i think he is, i can understand why his stuff comes across as being a "doozy". Sean> | |
| How much Power do speakers really use ??????? Twl's response of "it depends" is about as accurate as you can get. Given the massive amount of variables involved ( speakers being used, their radiation and compression characteristics, the type of music being listened to, the individual recordin... | |
| song title that is memorable Boy, i could fill this thread up with a bunch of ripe trash from my youth, but i'll pass. Sean> | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers Scotty: I think Bear meant that one might want to do some research and find out who actually builds the amp for them i.e. Innersound does not build their own amp or preamp. As far as i know, it is built by Coda for them. On the same hand, Coda als... | |
| Perreaux amplifier 3150B - your opinion sought Hi Frank. I too remembered the 2150's as having excellent bottom end "way back when". The first time i heard the amp, the first words out of the owner of the shop's mouth were "listen to the bottom end on this baby", etc... After comparing a few 2... | |
| how much tube power for eclipse ? Tim: With "to the point", "hard-nosed" and "opinionated" advice like that, you'll soon be climbing into the dog-house that i end up inhabiting all too frequently : )Honestly though, i too would look for an amp that is very "sturdy" and can pump ou... | |
| What to use as a subwoofer amp My experience with Bryston's are that they don't work that well with low impedances. Other comments by reviewers in Stereophile also support my findings. Take these comment for what they are worth i.e. simply my point of view. Obviously, others ha... | |
| How to respond to those who say it's not a hobby? I'll only add that there are FAR greater things taking place in your conversation with your wife than initially meets the eye ( or is it ear ??? ). You might want to try working out the details to those situations prior to creating yet another con... | |
| Perreaux amplifier 3150B - your opinion sought Rwd: Sorry for the phenomenally slow response. As you might have noticed, i've not been on the puter as much lately.As to my "deathly" comments, you would have to be doing something really dumb to have an amp "cook" you via the binding posts. None... |
