| What would you do differently? Bob, In order to ease some of the clutter around your place, i'll come by and pick your "extra" stuff up. Glad to be of help and service to you... : ) Sean>PS Multiple systems can give you multiple headaches at times : ) | |
| More Power??? Yes, it is possible to wire multiple identical amps up together in parallel to achieve greater power output while driving the same load. This is done quite commonly in the RF field and requires impedance matching splitters and combiners.Yes, it is... | |
| Power Conditioner without grounding,does it work? The grunge has got to go SOMEWHERE. Rather than just shunting it to ground, it can be "absorbed" via a resistive trap. This requires the use of "good sized" resistors that may require heatsinking, depending on how much "grunge" is being absorbed /... | |
| B&K M200 Sonata Monoblocks vs. Monarchy SE-100 Delux If i remember correctly, the M-200's were capable of appr 75 amp peak output. This should make it a measurably beefier amp than the Monarchy, which probably sounds mellower and smoother overall. Depending on how tough the speakers are to drive and... | |
| Good inexpensive cartridge Sailor, what are you using for a phono stage ? I'm assuming that it is built into your preamp or receiver. If so, you will probably need some type of "higher output" cartridge like a moving magnet type. "For the record", most Shure's and lower pri... | |
| Speaker placement There is NO set formula that works for all speakers in every room. Due to differences in reflection points, reinforcement and cancellation nodes, radiation patterns, slight irregularities of room dimensions, etc... It is all a matter of trial and ... | |
| Monarchy SM-70 to Model 33 interconnect question If your happy with the Monarchy gear as a combo, why not trust the man that built / designed them to know what will work with them ??? I'm sure that CC has played with enough cables on his gear to know how they respond and what works best. Like an... | |
| what speakers do the best "disappearing act"?? I agree with a LOT of the above comments but would also add this to the conversation:Electronics / cabling have more to do with "spaciousness" and the "disappearing act" than you might think.I have a set of large 4 way / 5 driver towers that have ... | |
| Best Speaker under 31 inches tall Taking the question into consideration, my "final answer" would be Bose 901's. Sean> | |
| Any opinions about Pinnacle Baby Boomer Sub? Reubent, some of the Parasound amps are designed by John Curl, not Nelson Pass. Two big names in the industry and the mistake might be easy to make. Sean> | |
| Cable Confusion I beg to differ about long interconnects / short speaker cables. I think that you'll find that MANY, MANY knowledgable and experienced users will disagree with that type of installation for MANY, MANY reasons. This has been covered several times o... | |
| Why so many Flaky Buyers? Hey, i have to admit that i have "flaked out" a few times. Typically, it is strictly due to an oversight on my part. Between all the spam, communications related to my business, "talkin' jive" with my buddies, audio stuff, etc... I sometimes have ... | |
| DCM Time Windows Kirk, i don't recall what woofers were used in these, but the tweeters were made by Philips. Similar replacements can sometimes be had from Parts Express from time to time. The cost on these range from $6 apiece ( on sale ) to about $10 - $12 norm... | |
| Why so many Flaky Buyers? Fletch, i'm sorry but i'll have to ask you to leave. Your response is WAY too level-headed and realistic for you to be an audiophile. As such, we have no room for "unbelievers of the mystical arts of audio" : ) Sean> | |
| DCM Time Windows This was a well thought out design. It took a minimal of low cost, low quantity parts and implimented it into a nice design at a very reasonable price. While these speakers will never "rock the house" with volume or low bass, they do sound quite g... |
