| Need recommendations on the following processors Any idea what the McCormack is going to retail for ?I went to an audio auction last week Saturday. A shop in Chicago was "assumed" by the bank and they auctioned off the assets. Since this shop carried Primare, i went there with the intentions of ... | |
| What is the best DB level to Would you listen to a recording of violin's at the same level that you would a "jammin" rock band ? I think not. Each recording works best as an individual piece and at an individual level. My experience is that it would be impossible to "pigeon-h... | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps If the amps were being starved for power, they would start clipping and you'd blow the tweeters. If the amps were pulling way too much from the wall and you had current limiting taking place, you'd pop the AC breakers or amplifier fuses.Taking the... | |
| Klipschorns It has been my experience that the "classic" Klipsch speakers make a WONDERFUL test-bed for upgrades and modifications. I will say that they are very much built to a price point and benefit from some very inexpensive modifications. The difference ... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? 7p62mm, i wish i still had the digital pictures of what the insides of those "cans" looked like. I'll just say that i'm NOT "guessing" at what is inside of them. I have also discussed this with a local dealer. Not only is he a former authorized Oh... | |
| Jeff Rowland Amps? When it comes to high dollar per watt, did someone mention the Audio Note models ??? Sean> | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Unsound, 7p62mm described the newer "Walsh" series. My only comment to what was stated is that it does not use what is historically known as a "Walsh Driver". Instead, the newer designs use a conventional woofer that is loaded face-first into the ... | |
| Opinions on the Bose 901 Albert, i just read your earlier post about "back when i was a kid". I didn't think they had electronics back when "you were a kid" : ) Sean ( still wet behind the ears )> | |
| Do cables age or become too old at any point? Perfect, what would happen if you stacked a copper plate on top of a zinc plate using a peeled potato between them as dielectric ? Inquiring minds want to know : ) Sean> | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company Duke, are you Irish by chance ? Between sitting up with Richard and "swapping lies" all night and the way that you phrased your last sentence, i would swear that you're full of "blarney" : ) Thanks for chiming in with your first hand experience. T... | |
| Suggestion for buying and selling on the site I think that Kelly is too busy listening to tunes to worry about us anymore. He may be the only one with the right idea out of all of us : ) Sean>PS... I'd like to commit to siding with one point of view or the other on this thread, but i think... | |
| Suspended vs. nonsuspended TT? Sean, how would one go about leveling something like that ? Some tables have both great mass and weight that is not equally divided amongst the footers. I can see the potential for GREAT problems using that method due to all of the variables invol... | |
| best ss preamp for 2000 or less used Bullwinkle's suggestion of a Klyne is rock solid. Most of the Klyne gear is well above the other brands mentioned here. You won't see too many of them used for two reasons:1) There aren't that many built as these are all hand built by the designer... | |
| Help with purchase of power conditioner Brian, there are several different things that PLC's are "supposed" to do. The obvious task is that they should filter out electrical noise. Some of the common sources of noise are listed below. Keep in mind that the noise may not even be generate... | |
| How do you "downgrade"? Craig, i'd like to print that one and frame it. If not for the laughter that it brought on, i could use it strictly as a reminder that i'm not the only one with those thoughts when reading "keep it simple" type of posts : ) As to Sos, you hit the ... |
