| Any suggestions for a really good 2 or 3 channel amp 1k I don't think that either the Belles or the Bryston "double down" whereas the Monarchy Deluxe's do. Finding the Monarchy's for below $1000 is a RARE occurance although i too have seen them pop up for that or slightly less. The McCormack is also a ... | |
| Need Help Designing a Dream Room Albert, thanks for sharing that info. Your results are pretty irregular yet undeniable. I guess that you changed the impedance enough by using your "ground grid" to "detune" / alter the impedance of that area. Not many people would have thought of... | |
| Need Help Designing a Dream Room Albert, an "rf cage" can only be achieved by doing what is called a "screen room". This is a room that is COMPLETELY covered in a tightly meshed conductive screen that is grounded, much like some "avid" ham radio operators do when building a "grou... | |
| What kind of power needed for Martin Logans? Look for an amp that uses very high rail voltages with a BIG "high current" transformer. This type of amp tends to work best with E-stat's. The first ones that come to mind are Perreaux's and the Innersound amps. The Sunfire amps, primarily the Si... | |
| Need Help Designing a Dream Room If your going to spend the money and do it from the ground up, i would SERIOUSLY suggest either doing a TON of homework or contacting an architect with background in acoustics ( for that one room ). I would also be VERY careful as to the contracto... | |
| Anntenna Question Something is VERY wrong with your installation. Either the antenna is not oriented in the right direction, the cable was not properly connected somewhere, etc... The cable that you are using is fine and should pose no problems whatsoever. Out of c... | |
| why are jolidas so cheap? I am not directly familiar with either unit, but an internet acquaintance that i speak to somewhat regularly went from a Jolida integrated to the YBA Audio Refinement integrated. He was overjoyed with the difference in performance and has felt no ... | |
| King of High Current Amps I would agree that the Sunfire can pretty much drive whatever you throw at it. Low impedance, high reactance speakers are a breeze with the amp never sounding compressed or smeary at any volume level. It just gets louder and louder as you increase... | |
| Any "tiny" DVD players ??? No computer in the bedroom, Sugar. I think my girlfriend would walk out the door if i tried to put one in there. She is not happy with how much time i "waste" on MY version of the "one eyed monster". Her "one eyed monster" is the TV. I had forgott... | |
| Mix match 4/8 Ohm speakers on one amp? This should not create a problem so long as:1) you can set the volume levels for the fronts independent of the center and rears via your processor.2) your amp is PLENTY sturdy enough to do the job that you want it to. In other words, the amp NEVER... | |
| Help to find an inexpencive active Xover The Marchand design is quite flexible, reasonably priced and built pretty well. It also offers a "Q" adjustment, which controls overlap between the drivers at the point of crossover. As such, you can "fine tune" the system to a much greater extent... | |
| Shouldn't you always go nude? Just as our skin protects our "innards", so does the body of a cartridge. I am primarily speaking about dust, dirt, airborne particles, moisture, etc... working their way into the motor structure. So long as the design and construction of the body... | |
| Does anyone know much about AGI preamps? Without getting into more expensive TT's, the one that comes the most highly recommended for the cash seems to be the Well Tempered system. Since i don't have first hand experience with this piece, i'm simply repeating what i've been told by peopl... | |
| Anyone ever heard/try Maggies hooked up to Pass amp? While i've not heard it, i would have suspected something to what Acuujim stated in terms of the lean bottom end. Maggies are typically "quick and clean" on the bottom end and so are Pass amps. As such, i think the combo would lack "weight" or "au... | |
| Does anyone know much about AGI preamps? Jay, i also forgot to ask if you are taking advantage of the phono section in this preamp ??? If not, i would HIGHLY suggest investing in a GOOD yet basic TT and giving it a try. You might be AMAZED at how good vinyl sounds via a well set-up syste... |
