| B&K ST-202 or Forte 1A? Unsound, i did not even notice that in the original post. Thanks for pointing that out to both of us. Neither amp would be real happy with that type of a load in my opinion. Not only does the B&K not have enough power supply, it is seriously l... | |
| Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation Now you know why i stress the fact that people should use these Pops, even if they don't think that they need them. Out of curiosity, how do you have the networks connected to the speaker binding posts ?What i've found to work well is to use the c... | |
| Spectral DMC 12, 20 or 30 preamp? Bear, it is both pretty funny and amazing how using the exact same parts but in a different layout on a board can get you very different results, isn't it ? Since i work with RF for a living, which can be EXREMELY layout sensitive due to impedance... | |
| B&K ST-202 or Forte 1A? While the Forte' is a far more refined amp that is "more powerful" than its' ratings would lead one to believe, i would probably stick with the B&K. While the Forte' might work better for Classical and jazz, it will not come across as having t... | |
| DIY Speakers, worth the hassles? The Madisound kit that is known as "Thor" and based on Seas drivers in an MTM array loaded into a transmission line and designed by Joe D'Appolito looks to be phenomenally good. There was a review with laboratory test results of this "kit" in Audi... | |
| which Alpha Core MI2 is the one to buy? Alpha-Core is the company. Goertz was the designer. MI is a prefix for their copper speaker cables.AG is a prefix for their silver speaker cables.Both the MI and AG come in different gauges.1's are 13 gauge2's are 10 gauge3's are 7 gaugeYou can or... | |
| B&K ST-202 or Forte 1A? What mod's have been done to the 202 ?How loud do you like to listen to your music and how big is your room ?Musical preferences ? Knowing this might give us a better idea. Sean> | |
| Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation The factory supplied Goertz networks are designed to come into play at 160 KHz. As you might guess, this is WAY out of our hearing range of what is supposedly 20 KHz. Since i only know of one speaker that actually could make it out to 100 KHz, i d... | |
| Spectral DMC 12, 20 or 30 preamp? Bear, have you ever seen the insides of a Spectral ? I know that this may sound "insane" to some people ( especially at this price level ), but do they use ribbon cable in any of their designs ? As to their sonics, i would agree with your assessme... | |
| anybody know a true dual mono passive preamp? I'm sure that A-gon member Tom_Nice would be able to help you out with something like this. I know he's experimented with this area quite a bit and could probably give you a run-down on what to look for and how to best set it up. If he doesn't res... | |
| What do you think about this idea for the FORUMS?? Audiogon, how about something that allows us to post links that are "clickable" ? Having the link open in a separate window would be even nicer. I know that this was discussed and basically put on the "list of things to do" but it has not material... | |
| Burn-in and Biasing I agree with "two wheelin' Bob" up above. This is something that you should learn to do if you intend to own / operate a tube based system for any length of time. Keeping track of the bias will also let you know what state the tubes are in, as not... | |
| Okay, now I think I've seen it all... Kemp, don't worry about it. They'll be coming out with the "big block" motorized version so that you can put your towers on these stands. Isn't that "neat-o" : ) Sean> | |
| Audioweb/ What a bear No help to either of you. Now go to your rooms, study for the test and don't come out until you know the answers. And NO nintendo playing either : ) Sean> | |
| Audioweb/ What a bear Yeah, Audioweb has made a few changes and not for the better in my opinion. Out of the "big three" ( A-gon, Audioshopper and Audioweb ), it is my least favorite for several reasons. Having said that, can you tell what is my favorite "used audio" w... |
