| Tubes plus SS Mezmo, everything i've seen, heard or read about the Rogue pre's is very positive. Let us know how things work out for you if you do go that route. Sean> | |
| Rack effects on aktiv equipment I have heard a rack produce DRASTIC effects on what you heard. However, if it isn't doing it in passive mode, it isn't going to do it in active mode. My guess is that something is wrong in the active crossover section. The slopes may not be adjust... | |
| Mike Elliot-Alta Vista Audio Derrick, i have to agree with you on this one. The few times that i've had to talk to Mike, he's been very responsive. When i've left messages or sent emails, he's called me back in a VERY timely manner. Whether or not you like his products, he is... | |
| Dylan on Drugs ? Brulee, words of magic and praise for someone that you obviously feel linked to. Kudos for putting your own twist on things. Sean>PS... Saw Dylan ONE time quite a while back. That was enough for me forever. | |
| Help me find this sound While i hate to sound like a broken record, check out the EVS Millennium II. While you might see some of these for sale on occasion, there seems to be a common denominator amongst this crowd. It seems that the people that buythese and end up selli... | |
| Odd shaped speakers Some speakers are designed / shaped a specific way for technical reasons. Many times, this type of product can be done so that they don't stand out from the crowd or at least do it in a manner that is not "over the top". Then there are the other t... | |
| Speaker ratings, how to interpret? Bomarc, that is a good point. Unfortunately, we tend to HOPE that the "specs" are actually based on REAL measurements of the equipment, not just marketing hype that paints a pretty picture. I guess that this is why i still like reading Stereophile... | |
| Rock and Roll System Milo, did you have the original Heresy's or the Heresy II's ? You can tell the difference as the II's had plastic horn bodies rather than metal.Something else that you need to check into on these is how the mids are wired. Some of the earlier vers... | |
| Tuner Recommendation for New York City I just did a "shoot-out" with 6 different omnidirectional FM antennas last night. While these are all primarily designed to operate outdoors, you could use them indoors if you had no other options. None are big i.e. "TV antenna" sized or difficult... | |
| Rock and Roll System Oh, i almost forgot. Sell all of your electronics and buy "mid-fi". Rock and roll NEEDS "grundge" to sound its best. This is why multiple systems are mandatory if you want to listen to a LOT of different types of music. Sean> | |
| Rock and Roll System Pick up two sets of Klipsch Heresy's and stack them ala Dunlavy SC series, tweeter to tweeter. Some simple modifications are easy to do and will take this set-up to the next level. This will give you appr 98 - 100 db's @ 1 watt, have plenty of pun... | |
| PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton Ernie, i have NO idea as to what brand of IEC it was ( it was not labled ), where it was made or if it was a factory assembled cable. It might have been put together by a dealer, a DIY'er, etc... using whatever parts they could find. I contacted Y... | |
| Best Pre-amp under 2k-USED Ernie, i was not "slamming" any of the Pass designed gear in any way. If you've read more than a few of my posts, which i know you have, you would know that i am a BIG fan of Nelson's work and typically recommend his products whole-heartedly. As t... | |
| Burn-in Device vs Burn-in CD Some good news and some bad news. Here's the bad news for Bob: There IS an airport going up somewhere out here in the south burbs. I just had some drivers come through that told me their companies have gotten work contracts for the next TWELVE yea... | |
| Does Threshold equal newer amp designs? No, i think that you are right Jmc. Some of these companies feel the need to change products just for the sake of change. It is NOT better, it is just newer. MANY older and original designs ARE better than their "latest & greatest" upgraded mo... |
