| Does anyone know anything about a Forte FP-1 phono Other than what Ljgj stated above, the only things that i can add is that the unit was still available in 1995, max output is 8 volts, distortion is rated at .005, MM sensitivity is rated at 1 mv ( no spec on MC ), MM S/N ratio is 85 dB's at A wei... | |
| Best Cable for canceling RFI Either the amps are sensitive to RF signals or the cords ( power OR speaker ) are acting as antennas. Sometimes, simply moving the cords into a different pattern can cure the problem. Sometimes altering their length can cure the problem. I would s... | |
| Best looking / worst looking amps & preamps Craig, i gotta agree about the "sexy" tube gear that seems to be coming out of the woodwork lately. I also second the "chrome Cadillac bumper" look of some of the Perreaux line. What in the hell were they thinking ??? Sean> | |
| Digital Audio Cables: Wire or Optical The reason that wire is superior to toslink is that there is a lot more "unnecessary" work taking place with the toslink. As such, there is more room for signal loss and degradation.The signal on a disc starts off as digital. When using a Toslink,... | |
| Threshold T-50 vs Forte 4 ? I've run Forte' 4's and 6's ( both use IGBT's ) on low efficiency 2 ohm speakers and throttled them. No problems what so ever. Just remember this: He who hesitates is lost. You better snag it before someone else does. Sean> | |
| Difference between 24/96 and 24/192 I know that some of the Pioneer DVD's will output 24 / 96 when used as a transport. Sean> | |

| Ugliest speaker ever? I don't have a problem with horns and i think that the AvantGarde's look like misplaced tuba's on a flower box. Not the worst i've seen, but surely NOT attractive by any means.As to others that look "funky" or "dorky" ( but may perform well ), her... | |
| Does anyone know anything about a Forte FP-1 phono Help me out so that i can help you : )Is this complete preamp or just a phono stage ? ANY idea of vintage ? Sean> | |
| Threshold T-50 vs Forte 4 ? I agree with Cbird. One of the first things that i noticed about the Forte' line as compared to the Threshold's is that they make use of smaller power supplies. Since that is the most expensive part of the amp and Forte's cost less than Threshold ... | |

| Room setup vs. longer interconnects Greg, look around at some of the other forums and see what the engineers and designers have to say about this. I know that John Curl and Jon Risch have both stated that it can be done ( obviously ), but that it is typically not a "good idea". One ... | |
| What group do you wish would be remastered? Thanks for the update Tswhitsel. It looks like I need to sneak out of my "bubble" a little more often : ) Sean> | |
| Coolest looking speaker ever ? Did anyone notice that the Bose 901's that i mentioned were series SEVENTEEN ??? They just keep making them better and better : ) Sean> | |
