| I need top quality banana plugs. The WBT's make a very solid connection. Radio Shack even has some inexpensive locking banana's that work decently. I won't go into the sonics of either connection as i don't have much experience with them. I honestly don't know if i could tell a d... | |
| how do you measure the coil in the crossover? I don't know where you planned on buying the parts from, but you can always send the coils into Madisound, they can measure them and then sell you the "most correct" Goertz coil for your specific application. Personally, i would tend to agree with... | |
| Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock?? When is the last time that you've changed or at least checked your output tubes ? Can you give us an example of what types of bands / music send your amps into "thermal shock" ? For the record, with the sensitivity levels that you are talking abou... | |
| Adding power-supply chokes to gear possible? You have to be VERY careful doing something like this. It would be easy to literally "choke" the power supply into starving itself, especially on power amps. You might want to check into Jon Risch's PLC as it uses a good sized "choke" or inductor ... | |
| Rear wall effect on sound stage location? "Center stage" will ( or at least "should" ) vary with each recording. While a lot of what you hear is based on room acoustics and the gear that you are using, spacial cues are derived from the source material and the way that it is mixed in terms... | |
| Terres TT why a mystery My experience is that most dealers and salespeople are VERY lazy and are only familiar with the gear that they carry. They may know a little bit about specific products that are covered in Stereophile, TAS, etc... but that's about it. Very few dea... | |
| Sensible Sound's annual speaker recommendations Phasecorrect: Choosing a speaker is very personal. While Vandy's may cost less than Legacy's, they are less efficient, will not play nearly as loud, will be higher in distortion at volume, etc... As such, one should buy the speaker that will work ... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Foreverhifi: I might agree with John Dunlavy regarding his comments "God himself couldn't hear the difference in two wires/cables measuring the same values!"If the cables presented identical loads to the source component with the same level of sig... | |
| Quietest amplifier you have ever owned. Drubin: My comments to Pbb are not based on his input to this thread alone, but to his continual attack against those that seek a higher level of reproduction to that of what he personally feels to be necessary. He constantly tries to remind us ju... | |
| Help--SACD volume too low I know of someone that had problems with their Lexicon MC-12 and the tech's could not figure out what was causing it. This person was not alone with the problem that they had as i've seen others mentioning it on various HT audio sites. After going... | |
| Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock?? Jeff: Out of the speakers that you listed, the Dunlavy's will be the closest to your NHT's but with a lot more "finesse" and "refinement" with much greater potential for volume. Other than that, the newer Legacy Focus 20/20 and the Montana's will ... | |
| Quietest amplifier you have ever owned. Drubin: Pbb was basically commenting that most of us are wasting our time seeking out components that both measure and perform better sonically. He basically stated that we are worried about subjects and situations that will never come into play. ... | |
| Ready to Throw my Wadia 6i out the window. HELP No, i never heard that one but i bet i can guess the premise behind the skit : ) Sean> | |
| The Truth of the Philips SACD1000 Kana: I forgot to mention that i have also "mass loaded" the top of the SACD 1000. Thanks for bringing that up and reminding me. I'm using a zip-loc freezer sized bag that is partially filled with sand and spread out on the top of the player. As t... | |
| Ready to Throw my Wadia 6i out the window. HELP Marty: You might want to find out just how far of a drop it is from the window to ground level before you start volunteering for such a job : ) Sean> |
