Surround Sound Processors SSP : I give up
My experiences basically duplicate yours. That is why i said that i would have went with a much smaller / simpler HT system with very efficient speakers if i knew then what i know now. People, PLEASE learn from my mistakes. At least someone may be... 
any comments on the threshold fet ten/hl pre-amp?
Edle, that's the funny part and why we can't explain certain things. You can put in any combination of test tones and a well designed SS piece can typically duplicate it flawlessly. Doing the same thing with a piece of tube gear will typically pro... 
Impedence and capacitance for a Supex 900 Super
I would procede with the above suggestions then. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Sean> 
Regrets
I wish i would have stopped messing around with one specific system when i had it sounding "right". It sounded phenomenal on all types of music and had really excellent "PRAT". Being the "boy genius" that i am, i kept monkeying with it trying to "... 
Aren't passive radiators out of phase?
Besides the phase considerations, you should look at the transient response of all vented designs. Passive radiators are the slowest of the slow but can still sound "good" if done right. I much prefer a well tuned passive radiator to that of a por... 
CD suggestions and help with Musical Fid. and BMW?
These are MY personal thoughts on the question as presented. As such, others might agree or disagree:Musical Fidelity SS gear sounds "quick & lean" to me, i.e. it has limited bass weight.B&W's can sound somewhat bright in many systems.Almo... 
any comments on the threshold fet ten/hl pre-amp?
I have to laugh after reading the two posts above. Keep in mind that i'm not laughing at either of the posters themselves but only about the comments and how it pertains to the product in question. The reason for my laughter is that it reminded me... 
Impedence and capacitance for a Supex 900 Super
I just found a review and comments regarding a Supex 900E Super in the same magazine ( they covered 54 different cartridges at one time !!! ). This one has different loading recommendations. He also makes mention of yet ANOTHER earlier 900 Super. ... 
best diy or used somewhat small speaker 1200
Truthrider, hope the Totem's do everything that you want them to and even more : ) Vince's "little" speakers with "little drivers" are kind of amazing so long as you don't want to raise the roof. Sean> 
Impedence and capacitance for a Supex 900 Super
I have information on the Supex SD 900, which in the notes says that it is very similar to the Supex SD 900 Super. The reviewer ( J. Peter Moncrieff from International Audio Review ) states that the internal resistance of the cartridge is 7 ohms, ... 
"Thumbs Up" to Kora Customer Service
Two sides to this coin. 1) Kora obviously stands behind their product and is highly concerned about customer service & satisfaction2) Judging by the responses and the limited number of Kora products in circulation, it appears that Kora has a f... 
Anything wrong with Treshold "T" series??
The "T" series makes use of output devices that are no longer available from what i understand. Having owned several amps that made use of similar circuitry with the same devices and pounding on them day after day, i would not worry about this too... 
Cables "Burn In"
Bob, what does the Purist disc do that no other disc or combinations of discs can offer ? Since one can find recordings with white noise, pink noise, brown noise, sine waves, square waves, triangle waves, frequency sweeps, etc... and all of the va... 
consensus on passive preamps?
One of my DAC's has the option of running line level out to a preamp or through a stepped passive attenuator system. Since the DAC was built to produce 4 volts of output, lack of drive when going passive is not a problem. I've tried it both ways w... 
Why are there so many unopened amps, ect for sale?
Budrew, what came of that situation ? While i can understand the manufacturers point that they want their product back, i can also understand that it puts them in a helluva situation in terms of customer service / satisfaction. Even if the guy did...
