| Rock? money down the drain? A good system is a good system is a good system and the bottom line is that it will do well with any type of music. There is however, strengths and weaknesses to each system, no matter how good or expensive, that will let it work best with specifi... | |
| More Old Timers Required This question came up over on Audio Asylum a while back. I think the overall "winner" was the Technic's 1500. If i can remember correctly, even Victor Khomenko of BAT recommended this model over the ReVox's along with several others that had tried... | |
| Ferrite Clamps for AC power cords? Out of curiosity, are you guys ( and girls ) running the ferrites at the wall end or component end of the power cord ? Have you noticed a difference doing it either way ? Sean > | |
| Don't buy Arcam cd23 Nothing new here. MOST "common" 24 bit CD players may ACCEPT 24 bit input but will not actually pass that much information. Due to the noise floor being higher than what it needs to do so, the last few bits of resolution are lost. In order to achi... | |
| amp is hot on one side cold on the other I used to have a Forte 1A and still have several other Forte' amps. Since they are all biased relatively heavy into Class A, they will run measurably warmer than most other amps. Your amp, while only being 40 wpc, is pure Class A and should normal... | |
| Horrific crackeling at power down...!?! Contact Dennis at the Bryston U.S. service facility. While i no longer have a Bryston amp, he / they are phenomenal to deal with. If you send them an email via their website, they will typically respond quite quickly with the necessary info and ph... | |
| Horrific Confession and Question Bottom line is that GOOD music is enjoyable almost anywhere. EVEN on a less than stellar system. After all, i always thought that we bought the gear to listen to the music, not the other way around : ) Sean > | |
| B&W 804 Matrix or Legacy Classics ? ? ? If i was doing strictly a 2 channel system for music, i would probably give the nod to the B & W's. For a system based on HT, the Legacy's walk away with it. I base this primarily on their measurably greater low frequency output, their ability... | |
| What to look for in a multimeter? My first suggestion is to forget about Radio Shack's multimeters. You can get way more features for for less money. Take a look at MCM Electronics and see what they have to offer. I do agree that you want to buy "more" than what you think you will... | |
| Is it safe to run cheap wires? Your monster cables will work fine unless they have been physically damaged. Sound quality might suffer compared to to other cables, but you should experience no damage to your equipment whatsoever. While the amplifier will respond to the differen... | |
| Speaker Cable Suggestions? My experience is that the two cables that you mentioned are on opposite ends of the tonal spectrum. You may be best off contacting someone at the Cable Company and getting set up to audition a few different cables. What you like and what will work... | |
| Why Is Krell the a bad work??? This has been covered in depth within the last month both here and at the Audio Asylum. It would be better for you to do a search in both of the archives and see what you come up with rather than dredge up more mud on an old subject. Sean > | |
| S-Video Cable - is there much difference Forget S video. Regardless of all of the hoopla surrounding it, it is nothing special. It is simply two small pieces of shielded cable within one jacket. If you've got it, try using the individual component level outputs. These have three individu... | |
| Trelja and Leafs: Coincident Questions Thanks for all of "homework" that you did for me. Well above what i expected and greatly appreciated !!! The original owner told me that these were run full range on the bottom end and simply had a cap to limit high frequency response. While i hav... | |
| THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS The Castle Richmond's are nice little speakers. Not very pricey, not very big but quite full bodied and smooth. You could do a LOT worse for a LOT more money. Sean > |
