| Bi-amping, "What amps would you use" Will you be dividing the amplifier work between the woofers and combining the 8" mid & tweeters together or between the woofers and 8" mid and separating them from the tweeters ? Obviously, the crossover points would be QUITE different and may... | |
| Review: Marantz 7t Preamplifier I'm using a modified Dynaco Pas 3 in that system right now. I've got another Pas 3 that i've got to "gut" and will be doing a complete redesign / rebuild on in the future. By the time that i'm done with it, i'll simply be using the core components... | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? Tom: I find your results comparing the Mill II to the DAC 3 pretty interesting. Like you, i was also interested in that piece. I found the Mill II to sound much more "organic" i.e. more musical, natural and fuller sounding. In comparison, the DAC ... | |
| using a transformer to separate your gear power Rives: 6.5 KVA ??? Now THAT is a transformer. Only problem is that you'd need one HELLUVA circuit feeding it in order to tax its' capabilities : ) Martin: Thanks for responding. While we've got you here, can you clarify something for me ? If a noi... | |
| power up and shut down Good suggestion Jc. It may not even need to be a different brand, sometimes just a different cable can be enough to find the culprit.I once bought a set of RCA based interconnects from a guy that was going crazy trying to find the source of noise ... | |
| Power Cord Lenght ? Better shorter or longer? Okay, now i can better understand where you are coming from. I was thinking along the lines that you would want to start off with a very low inductance design to begin with. If the inductance truly is negligible, the increased length and commensur... | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? How do you make an aperiodic transmission line ? I would assume that the TL was terminated in some type of resistive ( probably stuffed ) vent. Kind of reminds me of the Shahinian Obelisk. This is a TL that terminates into a passive radiator. Both... | |
| Power Cord Lenght ? Better shorter or longer? Audioengr, are you trying to say that a highly capacitive cable design becomes more inductive as you lengthen it ? I am having a REAL hard time following your statements both here and on AA. Either we are having a REAL hard time communicating our ... | |
| power up and shut down Talk to Don at Fi and see what he thinks about leaving the preamp on 24 / 7. Now if it was a tube power amp, that would be a different story. I don't see a problem with leaving a tubed preamp on due to the much lower stress level on the tubes. Jus... | |
| Try running satellite dish through DAC for music Jc and Aaron, only the newer boxes have digital out. Some have optical with possibly a few having coaxial jacks. Those with older boxes are stuck with using the analogue outputs which probably don't sound as good. Sean> | |
| Power Cord Lenght ? Better shorter or longer? Some cords use specific geometries to achieve "filtering action". As such, altering the length can change the amount of total capacitance or inductance of the design which in turn alters the amount of "filtering" taking place. That would explain w... | |
| UPS ??? Do they ever pay a claim??? Pretender, if these truly are "large" speakers, i would check into going motor freight. You will have better luck using that method than you would with UPS. While i'm not saying that they are the best out there, i have had very good luck over the ... | |
| UPS ??? Do they ever pay a claim??? Pretender, some of the worst packed items that i have ever received came courtesy of a "mailboxes, etc" or "Pak-n-ship" type of service. The episode that i mentioned previously with the amp hanging out of the box was packed and shipped courtesy of... | |
| UPS ??? Do they ever pay a claim??? TT's are the most heavily damaged audio item that gets shipped. Most people don't secure the arms and platter correctly and all hell breaks loose ( literally ). Then again, one of my friends has literally had a TT delivered where the wooden base w... | |
| "EAR VS Cables" I agree with most of the above comments. Buy what will work best for you while spending the least amount of cash. There is no sense in over-spending for something that you do not benefit from. Having said that, i would get used to the system with ... |
