| Should mags review stuff not easily available All excellent answers with valid points that i think we can all relate to.Now for the next question: What mags DO review products from smaller companies ?Since i'm asking, i'll start off with by saying "Bound For Sound". While Marty does cover a l... | |
| What's everybody listening to this evening? Well, my first disc of the night is Dalis Car "The Waking Hour". I have no idea what i'll be listening to next but i've got about 2 - 3 more hours of tunes before hitting the hay : ) Sean> | |
| First Look - In DashTube Car Audio While i've never seen the "shockwave action version" presentation, someone had posted a link to this unit over on AA a few months back. Given the size of the unit, i have to wonder how many vehicles can actually accomodate such a unit and if they ... | |
| Volume Controls that Accept 12 Guage?? If you are trying to fit the wire into the eyelet on the L-Pad, you can do either of three things. 1) Slightly enlarge the eyelet in the terminal to accept all of the strands.2) Solder the wire to the terminal without slipping it through the eyele... | |
| Better magazine, Stereophile or Absolute Sound I will simply say that i have WAY more respect for the "Captain" of Stereophile than i do for that of TAS. Given the "public disagreements" ( HA HA HA ) that i've had with some of the staff of Stereophile in the past and especially quite recently,... | |
| Another Scam on E Bay The "funny" part about my situation is that the seller has his home address and real name listed in his Audioweb member "bio". Through this information, i was easily able to track down his phone number and that is how i was able to call his house.... | |
| Another Scam on E Bay I recently ran into a VERY "funky" situation on Audioweb. I found a product for sale listed as used that i was not even aware was in production. The seller had a very nice picture of the unit, full description, etc... and the price was right. Chec... | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers Bear, i'll see if i can dig up the info on that specific Acoustat. As to running Acoustat's with receiver's, we've all seen systems that worked but were far from optimized. In fact, i think that most of us still own them : ) Pls1, while i haven't ... | |
| pure class A? Sorry i missed your questions folks. Luckily, Bear stepped in and helped us out. He is far more capable of explaining most technical things than i am. Sean> | |
| 40hz ratings/speaker response Bob P. brings up a very valid point about lack of very low frequency content in most recordings. The other point that i would stress would be that your room or speaker placement may be limiting actual low frequency output. Most averaged sized room... | |
| Bridge or not to bridge Michael, not to challenge your findings or experience, but i have a copy of test review for an amp that basically ( give or take by a very small amount ) does "double down" as impedance is halved. I am not talking about rated power but actual powe... | |
| Apogee Duetta Sigs? Help with new amp While we all know that Apogee's are phenomenally tough loads, i once saw someone running bridged Perreaux 2150's on them and they did this for many, many years. Since bridging and low impedances typically create havoc, that should tell you somethi... | |
| What Power amp SS would you recommend........ If you can find one, an old Perreaux PMF-3150 will supply you with a very noticeable increase in bass output and control for not that much money. This is the bigger brother to the 2150 and is rated at 300 @ 8. In a direct comparison between one of... | |
| Nitty Gritty or VPI, Which record cleaner ? ? ? ? While i don't know this for certain, i'm pretty sure that VPI build the Sota machines for them. I do know that they look a LOT alike. Sean> | |
| ClassD Amps & Cable Geometry - Suggestions? Class D amps are of quite high efficiency. While one could easily "skimp" on power cord gauge with an amp of this nature, i would treat it as a combination of a digital source component and a power amp. Due to the switching nature of the power sup... |
