| Is it necessary to clean every record? It is only necessary if you would like to maintain optimum performance and reproduction with minimal wear and tear on the vinyl and stylus for more than one play. Sean>PS... Repeat this mantra :Clean the record, play the record. Clean the recor... | |
| Bridge or not to bridge Personally, i would recommend against bridging and just shoot for a bigger amp if you really need that much muscle. Most of the reasons have been previously stated. As to Trollmuse, if you can't do it with 1000 wpc, you're not going to do it with ... | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers Bear, i have seen impedance charts for Acoustat's that show a dip below 1 ohm at appr 10 KHz. From other charts that i have seen, this is pretty normal for a LOT of E-stat's. While the dips may not be quite as extreme or at the same exact frequenc... | |
| HELP... 2 yr. old pushed in the dust cover Tvc15 ( great moniker by the way. I take it that you are a fan of the "thin white duke" ??? ),Now that you were able to correct that problem, what will you do to keep it from happening again ? Just curious as to what you folks with rug-rats do in ... | |
| Magnetic levitating turntable shelf-opinions? I am surely no "magnetic field" expert, but i would think that you would neet to shield the areas directly above ( where the tt is ), below ( where the rest of the gear may be ) and behind ( all of the low level cabling and power cords ). I would ... | |
| What happened to Jonathan Scull? J-10 posts over at AA ( Audio Asylum ) from time to time. He stated that he plans on staying within the audio field and will keep folks posted as to his whereabouts via the AA General forum. If you do a search in the AA archives, you can probably ... | |
| Is this thing for real? One would think that a manufacturer would re-invest some of their profits on actually trying to make a better product, not experiment with idiocy. I hope that "hot glue" and "silicone" are not staples of their assembly line. Needless to say, i wil... | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers Hahahah... Bear, you bring up a very good and interesting point. It is quite possible for an amp to drive a difficult load like a walk in the park, but the bottom line is, does it sound good doing it ??? : ) Like everything else in life, there are... | |
| What is your "evaluation cd"? I've been meaning to do what Ejlif has done, that is to burn a "compilation test disc" of my own. This disc may not even contain entire songs as there are small portions of songs that can tell you a WHOLE bunch of info very quickly. Using this app... | |
| Calibrating monitor If your puter has a DVD drive in it, you can use the Avia or Video Essentials video calibration disc to set up your monitor. Some controls will inter-act with each other, so you may have to jog back and forth a few times to find a good blend. Keep... | |
| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers Back about 15 years ago ( WOW, was it really that long ago ??? ), J. Gordon Holt found that the only two SS amps that he had tried that could drive Acoustat's well were the Acoustat TNT-200 and a Threshold. I will second that nomination and also a... | |
| pure class A? Audiofile9, what you describe is known as a push-pull arrangement in terms of one output device "handing off" to another device as the signal changes polarity. These types of devices, especially SS models, are typically sold or marketed as "compli... | |
| What model Speakers are on the show Friends? I haven't seen the show in a while, but i do know that they have changed speakers along the way. Judging by your description, i might guess Blue Room Mini-Pods. These are made by B&W but are quite different from their regular product line to s... | |
| Speaker cable recommendation please Lugnut, at one time i had an entire list of mods to do to the Klipsch "Classic" series of speakers. Most of these notes are tied up in one of my old computers, which i'm having a hard time trying to access. Someone thought enough of these notes to... | |
| pure class A? Here's a "generic" and very simplified way to look at an amplifiers bias. Think of an amplifier as a rotating wheel. Class A drives the wheel at all points of the rotation. This means that the wheel is always being directly driven and monitored. A... |
