| Help!! My tube pre amp is shocking me!! Your description sounds like static electricity discharge. Try touching something else that is metal, like a piece of your rack, etc... This is quite common when the winter months hit us due to the lack of humidity. Many people will attach a small... | |
| do tubes rock ?? I agree with Carl. First of all, your room is pretty large. Second of all, your speakers are lower impedance. On top of that, they aren't SUPER efficient. You will need a very rugged tube amp with a lot of "guts" to do the job. I would also sugges... | |
| Elite bigscreen HDTV or Sony VPL-VW10HT? The Pioneer Elite HDTV's look ASTOUNDINGLY good. Then again, the price reflects what your paying to get. If your looking for best picture quality between the pieces mentioned, the Pioneer wins hands down. As to the comments about having a huge box... | |
| fm reception The use of a decent outdoor antenna and what we call a "pre-selector" in the RF field would probably take care of your problem. Magnum Dynalab's makes one of these and i think that they call it a "signal sleuth". It tightens the bandwidth of the r... | |
| Replacing my tweeters a good idea? I don't come here to flame. Between what you posted about not visiting other audio sites and then looking at your Audiogon "feedback" file, it appeared that you were not an active tweaker / experimenter / gear-head. That's not a problem with me, a... | |
| Replacing my tweeters a good idea? Drop me an email. I've got something that will take care of that problem at no risk to your wallet. Sean > | |
| Replacing my tweeters a good idea? The cables in question are marketed by a company called "MobileSpec" and come with a limited lifetime warranty. As to the specific model name or number, i don't have that handy. If someone was truly interested in these, they can email me and i wil... | |
| Bass Amp for Infinity RS 1B Fred, can you recall which Perreaux model it was that you tried ? I'm curious. The only two that i'm familiar with personally would be the 2150's and the 3150's. While similar in looks, these two amps sound very different from each other. I'd be c... | |
| Replacing my tweeters a good idea? "To many, it shows a lack of REAL knowledge(not the kind that magazine readers espouse) and/or experience in working with loudspeakers." I beg your pardon. I have designed / built / modified dozens upon dozens of speakers systems with references a... | |
| b&k or Bryston or McCormack? In a direct comparison using all of the same components and speakers, a Bryston 4B (original model, non ST model) had a harder time driving some very low efficiency / low impedance speakers than did my old Classe' 70 amp. Keep in mind that the the... | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma I currently have a set of these on the way from the manufacturer. Since i blew all of my cash on the speakers and had to sell all of my other stuff just to be able to afford them, i'll be forced to power them with my old 15 wpc Advent receiver hoo... | |
| Replacing my tweeters a good idea? I didn't say that it WOULD NOT attenuate the high frequency response. It's pretty obvious that it would do that. I simply stated that it could also effect other parameters of the speakers design. Making a suggestion to one's own beliefs without no... | |
| CD players,Electrocompaniet EMC-1 or YBA While i've had very little experience with the EMC-1, what i did hear was VERY impressive. At that price level though, you might want to check into a Marantz SA-1 if you can find a really good deal on it. It is supposedly much better at "red book"... | |
| Bass Amp for Infinity RS 1B I'm assuming that your running the Perreaux PMF-2150B, as the model number didn't quite turn out correctly in your post. If i remember correctly, the RS-1B used two 10 inch "dual drive" Watkins woofers per box. If that's the case, your talking abo... | |
| b&k or Bryston or McCormack? By separating the high frequencies from the low frequencies, you effectively double the power reserve of each amplifier and increase its stability. Since he would have a dedicated amp to deal with the "low current" sections ( panels ) at the react... |
