| Directionality for Alphacore Goertz MI 2 cable? Most people that i know complain of the copper based Goertz sounding warm and round, not lean and bright. Then again, maybe you're having the type of results that i did with AP Oval 9's. My results seem to contrast those of the mass majority. If t... | |
| Riddle me this... I agree that higher efficiency speakers open up a lot of doors in terms of amplifier selection. To attain high efficiency though, one must sacrifice low frequency extension in a sealed design or poorer transient response / less control by going to... | |
| What of your gross annual income is your system? Thank You Joe B. It takes no talent or skill to spend money and i've heard plenty of systems that reflect that. I am always impressed by those that can do the most with the least. Then again, none of my systems reflect that idealogy, so.... : ) Se... | |
| why do power cords make a difference with transpor As far as i know, the signal coming out of the transport that feeds the DAC is centered at 2.822 MHz. This is an RF ( Radio Frequency ) signal. The data is super-imposed or "modulated" on top of the RF signal, much like someone's voice is transmit... | |
| Continuation of my Thread on VPI, Basis, Origin... I like Phil. I think that he is not only a good writer, but i also think that he knows his stuff. If he had that to say about the Teres, i would not doubt that it is a force to be reckoned with. Sean> | |
| Best spkrs for rock: Dunlavy V-Watt/Puppy-Revel?? I think that the Dunlavy's would work the best for you out of those mentioned. That is, if you can get them far enough apart and sit a reasonable distance away from them. There is no substitute for surface area / power handling / low distortion wh... | |
| PS: Typical McGowan Sound? -- HCA-2 & Classic 250 To re-iterate one of my previous comments from another thread, the more a power cord helps a component out, the poorer the design of the power supply and filtration within the component itself. As to the comments about "try it out at no risk for 3... | |
| RFI issues in phono stage-one channel only ?? Sounds like a bad cable to me too Twl, but it could be a bad solder joint in one of the components. Sean> | |
| DC Leakage and dealer issues Peter: It sounds as if the BAT VK-30 can be a handful to own and operate in terms of finding suitable candidates to operate with. I have run across similar products in my line of work. The bottom line in most of those cases is that the owner ends ... | |
| Good source for technical info Judit: I've been dispensable* all along. I'll try harder though : ) Sean*Dispensable: Capable of being dispensed with or done without: not necessary or essential | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Don't know how i missed this thread for so long, but i did. As Macdonj observed above, i have a tendency to hang onto gear. That is, if i like it and think it retains an endearing quality over time. On the other hand, there is some gear that i've ... | |
| Adcom or Creek? Lou: I think that Miles was referring to the cost of the Adcom GFP-750 as compared to what the modified Perreaux SM-2 would give you for far less money. Given the basic build quality of the Perreaux products, i would agree that substituting a few ... | |
| Need advice from OTL experts Brucegel: I think that OTL's are a LOT harder to get to work well than a standard tube amp with output transformers. The transformers lend a WIDE margin of "buffer zone" to a tube amp. Without that buffer zone, the linearity and overall performanc... | |
| Riddle me this... Mezmo: The power dissipated in a "good" 50 wpc Class A amp is appr equivalent to what a "typical" 200 - 250 wpc Class AB amp has to dissipate. As such, the costs are about the same to produce. The low powered Class A amp may actually be more costl... | |
| Riddle me this... Ron from McIntosh brings up a very valid point and one that i have "preached" on more than a few occasions. That is, dynamic headroom is king when it comes to clean reproduction. Most people do not realize how much their system is compromised when... |
