| the best of five channel amp.... While it might not be in the same league as the Theta or EAD ( don't know, never tried them ), you might also want to consider the Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature. Given that it is rated at 405 wpc @ 8 and 810 wpc @ 4, it will drive ANY load that y... | |
| How can I make my own acoustic materials? Try checking out this site. Jon is an electrical engineer and works for a company designing Pro Sound equipment. He is well versed in pretty much every aspect of sound reproduction. Hope this helps... Sean>http://members.nbci.com/Jon_Risch/inde... | |
| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? The way to solve problems is to look at them logically.Since you have this problem with either headphones or speakers, it is obviously something in the components and NOT the room. While the room acoustics may not be the greatest, the use of headp... | |
| Help with speaker selection, please As others have pointed out, each of those speakers may have different drive requirements. Besides that, your "short list" is so diverse that i see NO continuity to the choices. In my opinion, NO electrostat or "monitor" type speaker can do justice... | |
| Sometimes skips, sometimes doesn't Another possibility is that the power being fed to the laser or the laser itself is sagging under load. Lasers do burn out or "go soft" after a while, so it is possible that you may have to either juice up the power supply to it in order to keep i... | |
| Any others with Millennium II s ??? From what i saw on my bench with the Millennium, i would assume that power cords and isolation could EASILY change some of the parameters of this DAC pretty drastically. As to the "warmth" that you've noted, it is like i said: tube-like but still ... | |
| Short Power Cable (ie, 3 to 6ft) Liguy, your thoughts are right on target from a technical perspective. This is exactly why there are so many questions as to why things "measure well" but do not "sound good". I would simply add that a well designed preamp should be able to deal w... | |
| Who is selling Musical Fidelity Now ? AA and MF probably couldn't come to terms regarding using multiple dealers / distributors, etc... Even though AA does offer a 30 day trial ( which is EXCELLENT in my book ), they basically sell at or very near list price on most items. Now others ... | |
| vibrapod residue Albert, if you new one of my cats, you would understand.If it smells ANYTHING like "human food" or something that you put into your mouth, the cat will try to eat it or at least taste it. I simply sprayed a few squirts into my mouth as a "breath f... | |
| Short Power Cable (ie, 3 to 6ft) While this is a very "generic" statement that could change from gear to gear, i ( personally ) would try to avoid long interconnects unless both the preamp and power amps were operating in a TRUE "balanced" mode. I am with Greg in my findings of p... | |
| vibrapod residue I simply used something on the order of "Windex", etc... No problems whatsoever. Apply enough liquid to a soft cloth to make it noticeably damp and wipe away the rings. Sean> | |
| Speakers with a 360 degree sound. Read Three questions:1) What makes you think that this is different than Mirage / Def Tech or other similar designs where they use "back to back" drivers inside the same cabinet firing in opposite directions ?2) What " 360* " speakers are you basing yo... | |
| Any Opinions about Innersound ESL amps? WOW !!! Great to hear the results that you're getting and glad that you're happy. So far, it sounds like you're "sold" on those babies. As to the difference between 330 wpc and 1200 wpc, i can believe that it would make a difference, especially wi... | |
| Misconceptions of Speakers Ohhwy61 is right on the money. Products usually "stand out" because there is some specific irregularity that catches your ear. Speakers that are "forward" often seem louder, clearer, offer better resolution due to propped up midrange, etc... Try l... | |
| Can someone explain db sensitivity? Yeesh, i can see how people can get "confused" ( Kelly would be "corn-fused" ) about something like this.While it is a general assumption that a speaker that is more efficient ( 93 db's / 1w / 1 m ) would play progressively louder than a less effi... |
