| best rock voices Rock is a pretty vague term, so here goes nothin'. I'm not including several others that i think are very worthy candidates as they've already been mentioned : )Tim Baker ( Cirith Ungol ) Killer metal screamer that needed a heavier band than what ... | |
| Who has Caps on their AC lines ??? I should have clarified that the 250 volt rating that i previously mentioned was for the working AC voltage, which is different from the DC working voltage quoted for most capacitors. I agree that a higher voltage rating is better, as the 120 volt... | |
| Best $200 speaker cables for overall performance? Rayhall: The 8TC's are half the impedance of the 4TC's, meaning that a stable amplifier should be delivering more power with improved transients across the band into identical speaker loads. If you ran into low frequency problems when going from 4... | |
| isolation transformer vs line conditioner JD: People can believe whatever and whomever they want to believe. All we can do here is share opinions and ideas while trying to learn from one another. Having said that, most of the Bryston amps are not real strong performers into lower impedanc... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X-250 Amplifier Bigkidz: Are you still running the Pass amp or have you moved onto something else? As far as the Pass sounding lean, that is probably a byproduct of the load that it is seeing. When reaching this level of equipment, you really need to have a low i... | |
| isolation transformer vs line conditioner Wow, never saw this response from 7b4me and it's a year later. I didn't read the material that you mentioned on Bryston's website, so forgive me for my ignorance as to their point of view. As far as my comments being wrong, i think that you'll fin... | |
| Who has Caps on their AC lines ??? I am currently looking through Belden's online catalogue for something like this that also meets some other specific criteria. So far, i haven't been able to find anything that i'd recommend. Sean> | |
| Who has Caps on their AC lines ??? Benie: You want to place the caps near the input side of the iso's for greatest results. This reduces the amount of "muck" that the iso has to deal with. After that, all you'll have to worry about is keeping the AC "clean" from behind the iso up t... | |
| Need help understanding tube wpc Not to change the subject, but i wanted to point something out. Ralph aka Atmasphere said: "Since the peak represents a peak in power as well as voltage, current must therefore be peaked also".This is not always true. When a speaker resonates, it ... | |
| Need help understanding tube wpc This is simple Ohm's Law. One can try to make it as complicated as they like, but it is actually just as simple as it sounds. The amount of current needed in the circuit is dictated by the impedance of the load at the frequency that is being repro... | |
| tri-wiring w/ Canare 4s11 Run one cable using all four strands for the woofers. The other cable can be divided in half for the mids and tweeters i.e. two conductors for each. You shouldn't have any problems with this whatsoever. Just make sure to alternate polarities withi... | |
| Can I ever stand to listen to our system again While i'm sorry for your loss, I think that your wife would want you to remember the good times that you had together. Obviously, you loved each other very much and the fact that she was willing to work with you in picking out your system componen... | |
| Who has Caps on their AC lines ??? You can purchase a multimeter or dedicated capacitance reading meter to see what value they are. If you don't want to do this, and can live without them for a while, you can drop them in the mail to me. I can read the value and return them back to... | |
| Need help understanding tube wpc As i've mentioned before, you have to look at ALL of the pertinent specifications on the whole and understand how the results were achieved i.e. specific test methodology used. Singling out one spec on ANY product in the world won't tell you ANYTH... | |
| Need help understanding tube wpc Forgive me for generalizing, but most tubed amps SUCK in terms of their power bandwidth. This also means that their transient response sucks too, hence the amount of low frequency tilt and rounded square waves that are seen in most test reviews. Y... |
