| Can I run my Amp from a Line Conditioner? It depends on several factors. If you have highly efficient speakers of reasonable impedance, a small room and listen at low levels, i see no problems arising at all. If you have a large room, low efficiency low impedance speakers and like to list... | |
| link between speaker and floor Be careful placing various "flats", "pucks" or coins underneath spikes. If you have hardened spikes connected to large, weighty speakers, the constant vibration can cause them to slowly dig or migrate through the metal "puck" and begin to bore int... | |
| Can you help a computer "idiot" ? Thanks for the kind words Scott. I had tried Google but it did not come up with anything that i was looking for. A couple of Agon members suggested that i try going to www.deja.com, as this is a newsgroup based search engine that Google recently p... | |
| Perfect sound forever ? Not even when new... Both are "rock" discs. The first disc that i noticed this on was "The Vines: Highly Evolved"*. The second disc, which has far more noticeable ticks that are louder in amplitude, longer in duration and greater in quantity, is "Queens of the Stone A... | |
| amplifier's "slam-factor" Stehno: As to the Primare piece, i would have liked to have grabbed it, especially at that price, but i'm not upset about it. Then again, i don't know what i missed either : )As to listing my systems, i had done that at one time on AA and had one ... | |
| Satellite or CATV? Can't speak for Dish Network as i have no experience with it, but i can say that Direct TV absolutely smokes cable as provided by AT&T in every aspect. It is hard to go back to cable once you've had satellite. Sean> | |
| amplifier's "slam-factor" Stehno: J. Peter Moncrieff of IAR showed why one cdp sounds different from the next. He did this many, many years ago to specifically demonstrate that some "golden eared reviewers" really were hearing differences and not imagining things. This is ... | |
| Should Class A Amps be left on?? No offense Ezmeralda, but Doug Self can listen to his system how he wants. Regardless of who has how many books published, his thoughts and opinions on the subject are simply that, his thoughts and opinions. Personally, i think that he is FAR more... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Good question Newbee. I guess if someone is going to berate one product, knowing what they are comparing it to gives us a point of reference. Let's see if our beloved "Uncle" is up to the question. Sean> | |
| Problem with Home Theater Volume While i'm not familiar with the Heron's, the fact that the Vega's will play as loud as you like tells me that the main culprit in this situation is your speakers. The fact that they used to play as loud as you like but no longer do so also points ... | |
| amplifier's "slam-factor" That's a good question and one that i would like to know the answer to myself. While one can "tighten" and "stiffen" the bass by going gonzo on the power supply and filter cap reserve, it is not easy to make it "slam". Sean> | |
| How does the Phase Linear 400 compare? ykingfisher: If you have ever read any of my posts, you would know that i am not one to rave about products based on price or brand name. Personally, i would rather pay the least amount possible and obtain the most performance possible. I am VERY ... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em For the record Max, IAR used to like MIT cables. I don't know what Peter's thought's are on them now. Sean> | |
| Problem with Home Theater Volume Throw the Vega's in there and see where you go. While they are probably more efficient to begin with, this will give you some idea as to where the major problem exists. Sean> | |
| best DIY power cord? I would suggest sticking closely to Chris' designs as there are valid reasons as to why he took the approaches that he did. These designs can be further refined, but these will get you close to what is optimum without anywhere near the hassle, eff... |
