| need power cord to my system..... Thanks for filling me in. The reason that i asked is that "old style" E-I transformers are less susceptible to line noise and do a better job of "filtration" as compared to an equivalent toriodal design. If Bryston was still using the "old time" d... | |
| NAD S200 Amp sounds amazing Nad's typically sound "smooth and warm". If you're looking for something "punchy and open sounding", you've probably got the wrong amp. My suggestion is to leave the amp on continuously for at least 36 - 48 hours and THEN listen to it. The more mu... | |

| Crossover questions Joe, how do you feel about horns ? They meet all of your criteria and then some. Highly efficient, easy to drive AND very dynamic. This would work with either a tube audio set-up or a "punchy" HT set-up. You can easily get away with a single mid a... | |
| Forget Expensive Gel Absorbers While i'm always game for someone passing on knowledge, experience or savings, one must remember that just because something looks similar, that does NOT make it the same. Sorbothane has very specific characteristics that NO OTHER material can dup... | |
| Disappointed in SACD player There was a point in production that the Maggies ( specifically the 1.6's ) were selling WAY faster than they could make them. As such, dealers had more people clamoring for them and willing to pay full price for them than they could get in. Selli... | |
| Any others with Millennium II s ??? Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I wanted to think about things before posting. Let me start off by saying that the Millennium II that i had is now back at Ric's. For some reason, it had a low level hum in it that i could not get rid o... | |
| need power cord to my system..... Are the current Bryston amps still using "old style" iron core ( E-I ) power transformers or have they gone to toroidals ? Sean> | |
| Not happy yet I also forgot one more thing. You have your speakers 6 feet from the back wall and 3 feet from the sidewall. As such, you will have MAJOR cancellation / reinforcement at specific frequencies. Since 3' and 6' are direct "harmonics" of each other in... | |
| Not happy yet Ehart, what are you asking folks for advice for ??? Your the only one so far that has looked at this logically. While everyone can be pissed at me for saying this, so be it. While many suggestions are valid in terms of building a system composed o... | |
| Tubes are not so unreliable Power output tubes in RF gear take a beating. As such, one of my fellow "techs" uses a tube radio on his bench to test all of his repairs. The original tubes in the output section have been used on a daily basis since 1968 up until appr 2 years ag... | |
| Not happy yet Ehart, i am not familiar with your speakers. Are they floorstanders, "bookshelf" units, monitors, etc ??? If bookshelfs or monitors, how do you have them situated ?What type of "equipment holder" are you using ? Rack, entertainment center, desktop... | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? While i WILL read that article, i will stand by statements about frequency response / tonality / harmonics GREATLY affecting the "PRAT" of a system. Do the simple test that i mentioned and judge for yourself how much "pace" the music has left. Oth... | |
| no body is buying anything on audiogon According to what i've read, Americans as a whole are further in debt than we have been for MANY, MANY years. As such, things are probably tight for those that were spending what they didn't have to begin with. Things like Paypal and other online ... | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? PS... i'm not trying to say that bass output is EVERYTHING when it comes to "prat". It is obviously just one aspect of a very complex issue. Sean> |
