| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables You folks are right. It can become pretty confusing. I can see how Craig and Swampwalker could see the two seperate bi-wiring cables as being a "shotgun" configuration. While I have never been a fan of internal bi-wiring, that is not to say that i... | |
| Are these cartridges worth anything???? HELP Good point Jeff. So long as Mark makes everything clear up front, the bidders should know what they are getting into and bidding on. Sean> | |
| Audio & PC Audio Cable upgrades better than stock. The Musical Fidelity X10D is a unity gain tube based buffer. In other words, you put a signal into it, the signal goes out at appr the same level. The only thing that it does is introduce certain characteristics ( typically a warmer and smoother s... | |
| Can different brands of subs be integrated? Roger, i don't see a problem with doing what you want to do. It would be nice to have a processor with different bass settings for your different modes ( stereo vs ht, etc..), wouldn't it ? Unless you have the capablility to do such or have dual s... | |
| Does the VAC Avatar bonk when you drive it hard? Depending on the gain of the preamp and how the attenuator ( volume control ) is designed, some amps may max out at as little as 9 or 10 o'clock ( tube pre driving ss amp ), 1 o'clock ( ss pre driving ss amp ) or not at all ( passive line section ... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? My comments were based on what i purchase in terms of recorded music. In plain English, i think that the "average recording" is strictly "average" at best. Those that truly stand out are far and few between. As such, i think that until the bar can... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Darryl, the speakers in the rear of my HT system are identical to my mains from 200 Hz on up. Below that, the mains have dual 12's in each cabinet and the rears make use of dual 10's in each cabinet. They all use a single 8" lower midrange driver,... | |
| How to burn in both silver IC's & speakerwire? Francisco, i did not "dismiss" the Audiodharma. The little that i do know about it though leads me to believe that it is not nearly as effective as a speaker cable burner as it would be as an interconect burner. This is simply my opinion and worth... | |
| Is it just me or.....? I always check what the most current postings are and then look at either those that have had responses within the last 24 hours or specific threads that i've contributed to. Cables are rather controversial and system dependent to say the least, s... | |
| bad for an amplifier when there is no speakers ? Tube amps should NEVER be turned on without some type of load hooked up. Anyone that has done so has been lucky to say the least. I have seen a few output transformers that literally "melted down" from doing such. The output section of a SS amp pe... | |
| Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ??? Ray, the "cracking" took place in my "computer room" system. I'm currently running a Robertson 6010 ( 200 / 400 ) driving modified Ohm F's. Speaker cables are currently Nordost. I was running a pair of Kinergetics KBA-202A Platinum Mono-blocks wit... | |
| How to burn in both silver IC's & speakerwire? Trying to "burn" interconnects in via normal use within an audio system will never happen or let you hear their full potential. They would surely benefit from as much time as possible on a good quality cable burner. As to speaker cables, i do not ... | |
| Are You Content With Your System? After attending a live jazz / "world music" performance last night, i have to say that i'm VERY pleased ( and kinda shocked ) at how well one of my systems does. For the last few days, I had been listening to a reference level live recording of th... | |
| Puff Goes the Sunfire Mk II Subwoofer Derrick, i can see it now. Your standing at the podium testifying against a whole CITY full of cell phone users trying to explain how they are bad for your high fidelity gear. Only on "Court TV" : )Out of curiousity, have you guys tried changing p... | |
| Wanna hear your soundstage walk around ??? Crazyconnell, now you have me wondering. I only experienced this "cracking" on my one system and it was at low frequencies. As mentioned, i had the volume up WAY too loud when this took place, so i assumed that it was "system overload". It can't b... |
