| Help with TT recommendations. I have three Sota tables ( two Star Sapphires and one Sapphire ) with one of them in for inspection / repair. As such, i needed to call Donna to find out what was up with that one. Thanks for the reminder !!! : ) Sean> | |
| Joe Strummer RIP I haven't listened to the Clash in a while now. Turned on the radio yesterday morning while in the shower and, lo and behold, they were playing a Mescalaros tune. I just caught the end of it and would not have known who it was except for the DJ's ... | |
| How to eliminate system hum? Holzhauer: I'd like to take credit for the info in that post, but i can't. This info has been available via several different sources and i simply made it available here on Agon for those that may have never run across or heard of such things. Whi... | |
| Mark Levinson 27 Clipping It isn't a good idea to drive any amp into clipping. Besides potential amplifier damage, you also have the potential for speaker damage. As to the protection circuitry involved, i don't know what the ML uses or has to offer. The Apogee's are VERY ... | |
| How to eliminate system hum? Try reading this thread and see if it helps. There are GOBS of other similar threads in the archives also. Sean>Noise, Hum and AC Polarity | |
| HELP: Tweaking my system is killing my back... Either buy a better / more comfortable listening chair that offers more support or break up your listening sessions a bit. I think that there are others here that would "die" for the chance to have such prolonged listening sessions and / or be abl... | |
| Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies? See, if Dunlavy would have just listened to me years ago, they might still be in business today : ) Honestly though, i don't know what you are refering to, but i'd love to see it if you can find a link to it. Sean> | |
| Help My friend wants to go with some DQ-10s Delete the piezo tweeter, rewire and re-cap them with good quality parts and the DQ-10's are not bad speakers. Technology has moved on, but a good basic design is still a good basic design. You can probably beat them with newer products in any giv... | |
| Small room big amp, need speakers It is FAR easier to develop great quantities of bass in a small room, but the problem is that standing waves or "nodes" are far more common. As such, the quality of bass will probably suffer to a very noticeable degree. This is especially true of ... | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? You don't need an equalizer for a sealed box if it is done right. That is, if you don't mind big drivers in big boxes : ) Sean> | |
| SACD-Heathen David Bowie Ben, the sticker on the front of the CD stated "Classic David Bowie circa 2002". After listening to the disc, it was very apparent to me that both the sound and many of the songs were an attempt at being a "throw back" to Bowie's early aka "classi... | |
| Help with TT recommendations. Twl, i've always agreed with your choice of the Denon 103 being a great cartridge ( regardless of price ) and your statements that it needs ( at least ) a medium to ( preferably ) high mass arm to work best. Between that, the loading requirements ... | |
| Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies? I agree Unsound, Viridian did bring up a VERY good point. The fact that the mass majority of powered subs that are out there are not properly calibrated in terms of crossover frequency does not help any either. Most all subs are actually crossing ... | |
| Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R? I would suggest the larger Pass amps, "possibly" the Sunfire Signature ( will GREATLY depend on the solidity and quantity of bass from your source ) and i would keep an eye / ear out for the new Parasound JC-1's that Tim mentioned. My sources tell... | |
| SACD-Heathen David Bowie Ben: After listening to the redbook tonight, i would have to say that the SACD version would have to sound MILES better to even think about spending the money on it. This disc was purposely recorded "lo-fi" so as to simulate much of the sound of B... |
