| Moderately priced phono preamps How are you using JUST the phono section of the PSE preamp ? Are you feeding the pre out of the PSE into into one of the Rotel's aux inputs or simply running the PSE directly to the amps when "phono-ing" ? Given your current system, you would need... | |
| just hype? I know some folks that have worked with their ribbon drivers on special projects and been extremely happy with them. Most of the comments that i've seen about them have been quite positive. While not trying to sound "elitist" by any means, i would... | |
| B&K and Magneplanar MMG? B & K products can GREATLY benefit from some simple modifications and upgrades. The VERY FIRST ST-140 was a top notch amplifier and was the product that garnered the most raves. These were rated at 70 wpc @ 8 ( 2 X 70 = 140 ) and were quite li... | |
| Class Action Suit against UPS? I am in the process of dealing with a UPS claim as i type this. I bought some gear from someone in California and they shipped it to me via UPS ground here in Chicago. When the driver delivered it, part of the amplifier was hanging out of the box,... | |
| Ohm Loads for cartridges If any of you guys remember J. Peter Moncrieff's International Audio Review ( IAR ), he spent quite a bit of time in a few issues charting and documenting what worked best with dozens upon dozens of cartridges. While this was quite a while ago and... | |
| Share your thoughts on Marsh Amps Here's a review of the P2000 preamp that i did a while ago. Keep in mind that i ended up purchasing one of these a short while after this review and currently have it running in one of my systems. Sean http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/general/mess... | |
| Do amps need time to break in? my hpa-2 My experience is that Solid State amps sound best when left on. While you don't say how long you've had it, how many hours that you have put on it, etc... i would suggest leaving it on full time and playing as much music through it as possible. Ev... | |
| Tweak for Rogue Preamp Owners David, i simply mentioned those things as some people might take for granted that this "tweak" might work on other gear and do it without considering some of the existing consequences. On the same note, some folks are "trusting" and assume that "s... | |
| Tweak for Rogue Preamp Owners My only concern with a "tweak" or "mod" like this would be heat dissipation. If there are any parts that are running near their rated amount of power dissipation, doing something like this could cause premature parts failure due to excessive heat ... | |
| cartridge set up This is my SECOND time posting this. It "somehow" disappeared. Try contacting George Merrill at www.merrillaudio.com as he has a pretty decent "booklet" that walks you through all of the necessary set-up procedures along with covering some basic s... | |
| Best speaker for rock music I don't want to start another thread within this one. Email me for a list of notes that i've accumulated from modding more than a few sets of their older series of speakers. Sean > | |
| The best upgrade I ever made! C & H might have some smaller units. You might want to check their website. Tripp Mfg. in Chicago also offers items of this ilk along with tons of other companies. I can't think of any "supplier" right off of the top of my head. If you are int... | |
| Carver original amazings and room size ? Do you plan on putting the speakers on the long wall ( 21 footer ) or on the short wall ( 13 footer ) ? As to the size of the room, that should be fine with careful placement. | |
| Best speaker for rock music Thank You Estrnad. MODIFIED Klipsch's will give you the most bang for the buck in this area with nothing else coming close. They are efficient, dynamic, punchy and can be DRASTICALLY smoothed out with with a little work. The older models like the ... | |
| The best upgrade I ever made! An isolation transformer of ANY type of current capacity would be relatively large and not be able to be installed inside of a "breaker box". Your best bet would be to keep it as close to your equipment as possible while still avoiding putting it ... |
