| Why not power your own DC Many of the aftermarket schemes have built in regulators, etc... As such, you would not have to worry about voltage drop, having corrosives or fumes from large batteries in the house, etc... Your thoughts and that approach may be VERY valid though... | |
| need suggestions - transport for EVS Millenium Dac I would contact Tara and see what they have to say about the subject. Drop me an email and i'll try to take a look and see exactly what model i'm using. I think that it is long out of production, but maybe not. Sometimes manufacturers have some "n... | |
| what's so special about center speaker ? ALL of those variables ( including the "off axis dip" ) would change with different drivers, altering the spacing of those drivers on the baffle, changing the size of the baffle, altering crossover frequencies, etc... Vance even states that the re... | |
| music, colors and psychic abilities Bob, do you really not know who Uri Geller is ? There is a current "pop / alternative" song that they are playing on several different radio stations that talks about him. The opening line says something to the effect of "More fun than watching Ge... | |
| I need your expert advise I had a NAD 515 changer for a while and sold it to a friend. It betters many "single disc" players that cost more money. It is not "revealing" or lively sounding, as it does have the "house NAD sound". It is pleasant, warm and smooth without being... | |
| music, colors and psychic abilities Detlof, i'm ashamed of you. Given your profession, you should know that people often see themselves as one thing while they are really another. The accuracy of these "color predictions" has been documented and verified ( Brian and i both think it ... | |
| component order on a rack? I agree with Marakanetz but would take it one step further. A "high bias" amp needs a LOT of room to breath. A 4" space above it is not enough and this can create problems. Not only are you trapping heat in and around the amp, you would also be "h... | |
| Spade V/S Banana I used to think that banana's were "for convenience, not performance". After i bought some used cables that had WBT locking banana's on them, i had to change my mind. I think that these do make a good connection AND are convenient : ) Too bad they... | |
| Infinity IRS Sigma for 2K...Should I do it?? Leon, thanks for all of the background info on these speakers. Out of curiosity, do you remember what woofers were used in these speakers ? I know that Infinity had used some Watkins "dual drive" woofers in some of their models of the same time fr... | |
| need suggestions - transport for EVS Millenium Dac Glad that you were able to snag that piece. Now i just hope that you like it : )I hear where you are coming from about Ric discontinuing production on these pieces. As it is, i currently have a Mill II, my brother is running a Mill 1A and i'm look... | |
| Adcom - A Good Value?? Auctions risky?? Kirk, i think that you and a few others bring up a very valid point. Since many folks that are looking at Adcom, NAD, B&K and other like products are probably not very well versed in gear, they are still pretty reliant on product specs. This i... | |
| Best "Used" Audiophile speakers for 1000-1500 I have to admit that these are the kind of threads that throw me for a loop. How can anyone suggest such a critical product as speakers without knowing ANYTHING about the environment or type of use that they will be seeing ??? The only thing that ... | |
| Nordost Solar Wind with high current amp? The Nordost's to me sound VERY sharp, clean, focused and fast with no overhang or ringing. In terms of tonal balance, they are somewhat lean sounding, noticeably lacking lower midrange "bloom" and "body". I don't know anyone that would ever consid... | |
| Suspended Ceiling recommendations Charlie's suggestion of F. Alton Everest's books is right on. He has several different books on the subject. If you are REALLY serious about setting up a room, i would highly recommend investing in one of these books. While the book may seem initi... | |
| what's so special about center speaker ? MTM's do have several advantages if properly constructed. One would have to do some very serious studying of the drivers, their dispersion patterns, optimum crossover frequencies, the spacing between drivers, placement on the baffle, etc... before... |
