| SACD-Heathen David Bowie Ben, i was thinking about buying this on SACD. As it is, i wandered into Best Buy today and found it for $10.99 on standard "redbook", so i bought it. I have yet to listen to it though, so i can't comment on either the sonics or performance. If i ... | |
| Speaker Wire Help Sheesh, here we go again... Sean> | |
| Help with TT recommendations. To all of the above, i would only add that i don't think that the BPS is a good match for your Dual TT / tonearm. I do not know if you picked this cartridge or it was recommended to you. If it was recommended to you as being a good combo, i would ... | |
| Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies? Viridian hit it on the head. Moncrieff's research shows that bass becomes non-directional or "loads evenly" at appr 100 Hz. What allows us to precisely place the woofer or subwoofer at frequencies below that are either high levels of harmonic over... | |
| Speaker Wire Help I agree with Sugar in terms of length. If it is not too long, 8 to 10 foot per side is a very common length for most systems. Obviously, this will vary quite drastically depending on how things are set-up. As far as speaker cables go, i would look... | |
| Tandberg tape decks Never heard a Tandberg deck, but i always thought that they looked good on paper. One of my friends, who used to work on audio gear many, many moons ago, told me that they were very cheaply built and a pain to work on. I think the model that he ha... | |
| Speaker break in period I've heard gradual changes in speakers and then WHAMMO !!! It was as if another bass unit was added to the cabinet and a sheet was lifted off of the speakers. I've had this happen on two different occasions. Both times, i had been sitting and list... | |
| What's My Problem? I think it was the RB-981 that was recently reviewed in Stereophile. If that was the Rotel model that i'm thinking of, it was mentioned that the frequency response and overall linearity of the amp changed as power levels were varied. As such, you ... | |
| Amp Problem I've never had any problems with static on anything, but i would think that digital gear would be most susceptable. You might want to think about adding a "ground reference" to your rack. You can simply run a 14 - 16 gauge wire from a strip of met... | |
| Do you pay seller for packaging supplies? If you want your item to arrive in one piece, you should pack it like it is going to be dropped from an airplane. I would only add that if a seller intends to use a third party professional packing and shipping service ( Mailboxes Etc, Pack & ... | |
| Overtubing? Danger? Matchstikman: Mankind has had and used tubes for about a hundred years now. On the other hand, Aliens have obviously used SS gear for a lot longer and have travelled a lot further than we ever have. After all, if it wasn't for Roswell and the tech... | |
| Kharma with or without grills: Am I crazy? Joe D'Appolito has stated something to the effect of "There is NO perfect grill. They are there strictly for cosmetics and protection". The reason that he said such things is that most every speaker known to man ( and woman ) will show greater irr... | |
| Gain and Rothwell attenuators Why not contact Cary and see if there is some way that they can lower the gain of your preamp ? This is a VERY common problem when folks try to run tubed preamps with SS power amps. Having Cary take care of the problem directly at the gain stage s... | |
| Speaker Polish? Paul: I agree with Twl. Too much oil will saturate the veneer and then soak into / soften the adhesives below. Adhesives deteriorate with age as it is, so no need to speed up the process.I typically apply a reasonably even coat of lemon oil on one... | |
| Please, please help It sounds as if the bi-wire terminals are just there for looks from what you've stated. While you did not mention what set of cables that you knocked out of the speakers, you should have either lost all the highs or lows when they came loose. If a... |
