| Technically Correct Subwoofer Settings..... My experience is that HT and music work best with completely different LF settings. How much of a boost is required for "best" HT will vary with the extension, type of loading and placement that the subs have to offer. Trying to find one setting t... | |
| What's the best sounding SS or Tube linestage pre? I have to wonder why someone hasn't snagged that Stan Warren piece yet ? I was thinking about buying it when Chuck first listed it just out of curiosity. I figured that it would be gone in a matter of minutes, not a matter of days or even weeks. S... | |
| Parts Connection - Now where do I find parts? Their ads claim that the Parts Connexion was founded and is at least partially staffed by former employee's of the original Parts Connection division of Sonic Frontiers. Sean> | |
| Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation If your amp is of a wide-bandwidth design, it would probably be wise to use zobel networks with these cables. Keep in mind that an amp can become "partially unstable" and not go into continual oscillation. Severe cases will manifest themselves as ... | |
| Recommendation for amp & pre combo +- 3,000? Dynaudio's perform best with an amplifier that has plenty of reserve power. While their crossover networks are very sophisticated, they tend to soak up as much as you can feed them. Sean> | |
| Bass/Room probelm Quite honestly, your measurements are not that out of the ordinary. Most speakers do not take into account room acoustics and are not designed for linear "in room" response. This problem is further compounded by improper placement or selecting spe... | |
| help please. i need opinions of high output carts I agree. 4.5 mv is definitely not low output. You may have a real hard time finding a good quality cartridge that produces measurably higher levels than that. Are you running the 7 tube or transistor version ??? Sean> | |
| Want to buy - Need help and opinions Buy something that you can audition and return if you're not happy with them. As you mentioned, there is a BIG difference in some of these cables and those differences are not subtle. As such, they will be both system dependent and a matter of per... | |
| value of la scala speakers John's suggestions are excellent ways to get an idea of what "street value" actually is on a product. Such things as supply and demand and condition of the product can drastically affect what the value of an item is though. I have seen prices on u... | |
| Is a cheap 350 Power conditioner I will only add that isolation transformers typically work as well or better than many of the highly touted power line filters that are out there. Just make sure that you get one that is rated for more power than you'll ever want to pull out of it... | |
| Who would like to see a "Tube" section Records can easily be inspected for major damage and typically don't cost that much. In comparison, putting ONE faulty ( budget or expensive ) tube that looks "brand new" into your system can short out power supplies, do damage to other support co... | |
| Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks 4yanx, i can understand your not understanding : )I too was in the same boat. I thought that vibrations could SURELY alter the stability of a phono system and probably even play ( smaller ) games with digital front ends, but amps ???? I went from ... | |
| amp dies in middle of playing Viridian brings up a very good point. I have run across situations where fuses were not blown, but the device was not getting enough juice through the fuse to function properly. Kind of a "that shouldn't work, but it does" type of situation.Someti... | |
| Use of Ferrite Cores for EMI Reduction??? Bob, out of curiosity, where was this cable located at within the confines of your system ? I have found that ferrite works best on digital based products. In specific, i'm talking about the power cords of transports, dac's, cd players, digital tu... | |
| Am I the only one? Had to laugh. I went after the same tuner as John on Sunday night and never got a reply. Now i know why : ) Sean> |
