| This Sistrum stuff works Brulee: While Judith is a big girl and can answer for herself, i'll only add that i was adding a comment to this thread. I did not state that one product was superior to another or that one should buy one over the other. I did say that i found the... | |
| Are the "Outlaws" for real? Jack & Jayctoy: The comments regarding build quality and high noise floor were taken from those that own the 950 and have publicly posted such comments. More than a folks have stated such things, going so far as to say that they have sent them... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Brulee: I am sorry if my post came across the wrong way. I was not trying to belittle the comments / experience that anyone has had with Sistrum products and stated such in the first sentence of my second post in this thread. What i was trying to ... | |
| TT suggestions -- please 1musiclover: I combined several sources of info into that one post. John Atkinson made the statements that he did in a relatively recent article about the 100 most influential audio components. The comments regarding the isolation and review were ... | |
| Pro or hi-fi amp, which one would you choose? Pro gear typically has far more protection circuitry, is narrow bandwidth, much slower in transient response, uses a lot more negative feedback, etc... resulting in what most consider to be "sterility". Most pro designs and design philosophies tha... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Not to detract from the information included in this thread or the experiences of others, i found the information and design process of the racks at Grand Prix Audio to be a steeped in actual "technology" and "science" rather than the gimmickry an... | |
| If i had the money..... Once again Tok20000, one has to look at ALL the specs and know what they mean / how they are arrived at to know what to make of them.As far as your comments go about damping factor, that is the ratio that compares the output impedance of the ampli... | |
| Are the "Outlaws" for real? I checked into their pre / pro and it appears to be built to a pretty low standard, seems to be plagued by quality control problems and suffers from a higher than normal noise floor. All of this plus quirky operation of the remote. Hearing these w... | |
| TT suggestions -- please I would only add that there are a LOT of "suspended" turntable designs out on the market now. This does not make them all "equal" in terms of design or immunity to external vibration. To quote John Atkinson of Stereophile in regards to the Sota de... | |
| HELP: Bel Canto DAC and my cables aren't working.. I ran into a similar situation when trying to use a Monarchy DIP a few years back. I tried a bunch of cables and nothing would work. Hooked up a "generic" analogue interconnect and it finally locked onto the signal. You might want to give MSB a ca... | |
| If i had the money..... As far as i know, the closest thing that Parasound offers to this would be the HCA-3500. The 3500 is high powered and is still very different in terms of the quality of parts used, but from what i understand, it can be modified to be quite a good ... | |
| Outlaw 1050 vs. Onkyo SR600 Believe it or not, those figures were taken from a Consumer Reports buying guide that i ran across. They bought off the shelf units and put them through their paces. Since they don't have a clue about sound quality, they are only good for such thi... | |
| Analysis Plus Spker Cable Excellent Cable or Hype? Try doing a search in the archives both here and in the Cable Asylum over at AA. Plenty of info and various points of view on these. Sean> | |
| books/articles on loudspeakers. Try starting off with books by David Weems and then move up to Vance Dickason's Loudspeaker Design Cookbook. You can probably obtain these through your local library or do an inter-library loan. That is, if you live in a populated area : ) Sean> | |
| This Sistrum stuff works As far as "cones" go, different shapes, materials and the placement of the cone under both the equipment being supported and the point that it makes contact on the shelf will all effect things. Try reading the article below. It is not an "end all"... |
