| What's an Electron Kinetics Eagle 7A worth? Bob (you sneaky guy), you'll have to refresh my memory ( one more time ) about your source for Orion quotes. As it is, i'll take ALL of the Eagle 7's that i can get at the Orion price. Especially wholesale in "average" condition : )George, that th... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? There is another Canadian based company that takes the "improved" Walsh ( aka "Dick's Dipole Driver" or "bending wave transducer" ) that GP makes and modifies it. It is supposed to blow smoke and walk on water. That is, if you're into the type of ... | |
| Is their any way to keep voltage steady? Dweller, the devices that i and others have mentioned are typically adjustable ( to some degree ) as to what voltage you want out of it. Some of the better devices ( read that as "more costly" ) actually employ isolation transformers and may even ... | |
| Are all blank CDR'S created equal ??? Craig, after saying those words, do you know feel like a "top advisor" ? : ) Sean> | |
| What's inside these aluminum/metal cases? The Bryston amps remind me of a TON of other amps that i've seen. Adcom was the first one that comes to mind.The problem with a LOT of amps built like this is that they route signal and power wires side by side and even bundle them together. They ... | |
| Where can I get RAM super low noise tubes? Don't know what specific brand of tubes that RAM relabeled and sold as their own, but when my Dad put them into his preamp, the upper mids became very hard, "glassy" and brittle and the bass turned to a bloated thud. This "tube upgrade" took his p... | |
| Is their any way to keep voltage steady? Most power companies are running anywhere from appr 115 to 123 volts with the median figure being between 117 - 120 volts from what i can figure. To me, that is a good thing. Slight sags are not as noticeable that way and most all equipment is des... | |
| Speakers with built in subs? I think i've been knocked off the throne : )This type of speaker does have it's place. On top of the "convenience" factor and space savings, the designer can also build in equalization circuitry to ( somewhat ) correct for driver deficiencies / bo... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? I have to admit, there have been times that i have inquired about items ( if they are still available, specific questions, etc... but with NO commitment to buy ) and then forgot to follow up on them. Between everyday life and sometimes working on ... | |
| Is their any way to keep voltage steady? I used to be able to purchase commercial grade Sola brand voltage regulators rated for 120 volts / 500 watts continuous ( enough for ALL your line level components ) for less than $300 including shipping. If i remember correctly, i think that thes... | |
| Opinions needed; which is a better choice and why? As several others have pointed out, with versatility ( amp & preamp ) come options. With options you also get variables. With variables you get a lot of trial and error i.e. finding the perfect match for cables from component to component, whi... | |
| Preamps in general The MC-12 is pretty well thought out in terms of future upgrades. I don't see it becoming "obsolete" any time real soon. As to features and performance, that would be a matter of personal tastes if it would work for you. Sean> | |
| "Redbook" meaning? Hmmmm..... "One of those things, is not like the others, one of those things, just doesn't belong" : )Onhwy61's comments are the commonly accepted story behind that. Since every design has to have reference specifications, CD's became known as "re... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? John, if those A's ever become available, PLEASE let me know. I will drive to pick them up. As to the F's, drop me a line if you pick them up and we can compare notes. I have two different sets of modified F's that i dearly love and will never par... | |
| Is their any way to keep voltage steady? Darryl, you would need to have some type of line regulator or regenerator installed. There are units that will do this for you, but it would be phenomenally expensive to power a large amplifier. If you were looking to do this for strictly the line... |
