| What's Up Wth Ultimate Audio Magazine ? I hear ya. It's just that i HATE getting stuck in the middle of situations that i have no control over. No matter what you say or do, as a non-participating middle man, all you can do is say nothing, make matters worse or drag your own reputation ... | |
| Subwoofer ratings by Widescreen Review mag I'm on the same page as SD. I too found somewhat "contradictory" information jumping back and forth between the reviews in WR and in other audio based mags. Given the way that the WR reviews were handled, i think that i would trust their opinions ... | |
| LP Cleaning Question You guys are TOO much and probably thought i was joking.... : ) Sean> | |
| Tweak worth 100X It's price - Vibrapods George, you bring up a good point. Where have Sam and Red disappeared to ? While i know that Albert has been laying low due to being busy, house reconstruction, etc..., it seems as if more than a few people have wandered off. That list should also... | |
| LP Cleaning Question Goliverjr, are you talking about us or the chemical ??? : ) Sean> | |
| Is it true Genesis is out of business? Sarah, some of the Genesis parts may be proprietary, i don't know. As such, you might want to "scare up" at least one spare driver for each type in the cabinet. Should some type of accident or part failure rear its' ugly head, you would at least b... | |
| Subwoofer ratings by Widescreen Review mag Very kind of you to compile and list the figures SD. I have the same issue and read it cover to cover in one day : ) Others that don't have that issue or never saw it should take into account the amount of work that SD put into this post, as he ha... | |
| Triangle Monitors--Port Noise Complaint All ports will generate "noise", especially at high volume. Some companies try to get around this by using multiple vents. The problem with this is that vents also allow out of phase upper bass and midrange to "vent" into the room. That is one of ... | |
| What's Up Wth Ultimate Audio Magazine ? Don't "punish" or "barrage" Lisa with email for her husband's business associations. That would be like someone having a "discussion" with your wife simply because you cut him off in traffic. Not only is nothing resolved, things can escalate or ge... | |
| Mcintosh - Love Em' or Hate Em' ......Why? Arthur, i've found that i prefer the sound of SS amps that use minimal to no output inductance. While this can make the amp somewhat unstable into some loads ( easily compensated for ), i think that it sounds so much more "liquid". Having ALL of t... | |
| LP Cleaning Question While i'm a relative neophyte in terms of vinyl knowledge, my guess is that an LP should be THOROUGHLY cleaned BEFORE any playing takes place. This is to remove any of the mold release compound and other foreign particles such as dust, paper bits ... | |
| Mcintosh - Love Em' or Hate Em' ......Why? While i don't know anyone running Mac tube gear, the folks that i know that have tried their SS power amps found them to be pathetically poor performers. As Bob mentioned, it may be the fact that they use output transformers ala tube gear. Either ... | |
| Need speaker cable recommendations ... Most of the differences in cables of any kind have to do with component interface and personal tastes. With that in mind, you really do need to audition a few cables and see what floats your boat. Some amp / speaker combos will respond quite drast... | |
| Replace Cambridge Audio D500 or add DAC? Natalie, i have to wonder what would make you state the comments that you did ? Are speaking from experience after using a modified Sony, know others that have gone that route, etc ??? If so, who performed the mods and what did they consist of ? I... | |
| Is there any "volume attenuater" The cheapest passive that i know of is an Adcom SLC-505. It might not be as transparent as the other "high grade" pieces but they also don't cost about $90 - $100 on the used market or come with a wide variety of inputs or a tape loop. For that am... |
