| Please recommend speakers for ASL 1003 If i were in your shoes and running an ASL amp, i would look for a speaker that had the highest sensitivity possible with a higher nominal impedance that didn't suffer from any drastic impedance swings. These amps aren't very stable and anything t... | |
| Material Specifications/Layout for AC line Tim, don't know how i missed this thread for this long, but i just stumbled across it now. Didn't mean to leave you hanging and i wasn't avoiding you either. Just one of those things. You've gotten good advice so far, so check into getting everyth... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? I want to address / clarify my response to Albert. After posting what i did and thinking about it, i'm in the wrong here. That is, i tend to get "tunnel vision" at times and overlook certain factors. I'm sure that i do this on a somewhat regular b... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Robert: How much simpler would it have been if you had just said "Purity is measured by what percentage of impurities there are in the conductor. "Q" as i call it has to do with what type of impurities are involved. Not all impurities effect the p... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Robert: My comments about the thread being interrupted were not geared towards your customers "coming to your rescue", but more-so as a general comment pertaining to a specific group of Audiogon regulars that dislike my "brutish" methods of commun... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Rooze: Forwardness, brittle treble, smeared transients, etc... could all be signs of an amp that doesn't like the load that it sees. That is, the Zobel may cure at least a portion of that aspect of the sonics. If your amp seems to be running hotte... | |
| Bryston article on transformers - Part 2 Kana: It is rather difficult to replace a toroid with an EI. First of all, most toroids are relatively smaller transformers, so an EI of the proper rating won't fit in the alloted space. As mentioned, the core size of a toroid is typically measura... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? I know that the person that is responding here is named Robert, but are you sure that you don't work for Star Sound? You just told us everything we wanted to know about something that we didn't ask about, yet failed to address a single issue being... | |
| Bryston article on transformers - Part 2 Hmmm... Let's see here. We have an article comparing EI type transformers to toroidal transformers. The article just so happens to be written by a guy that works for a company that designs and manufactures toroids. On top of that, the party presen... | |
| How to bridge a Amp Adcom GFA1A and run a Subwoff You can't connect the output of each channel to one common driver. You can use one channel to drive one woofer and the other channel to drive another woofer, but not both channels to drive one woofer. That is, unless the woofer is a dual voice coi... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Robert: Kudo's to you for "entering the arena". You are braver than most : )Can you explain or clarify this specific part of your post for me? "Whether your fancy is Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum or Polyflatulent, purity is important. The quality... | |
| Spindle oil Bose may not have invented it, but maybe they'll be the first to impliment it in a manner that is both effective and user friendly. After all, with all of the profit margin that they make on their plastic products using the lowest grade materials,... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Ozfly: That "15 minutes" was a joke. You got it, right??? : )As far as your amp goes, it's quite possible that it does a very fine job of filtering out unwanted noise. The power supply that i described was simply a basic approach. There are other ... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Rooze: To make things easier on you, here's a link to a thread where i made my most recent mention of Magnan interconnects. It can be found in a thread entitled IC Advice Needed. Psychic: Send him on over, along with all of the other manufacturers... | |
| Spindle oil El: I know how the Sony arm works and understand how it is allowed to pivot at the rear i.e. it isn't "anchored" at the rear like the older HK / Rabco motor driven designs. Having said that, even the HK / Rabco has enough "slop" in the arm assembl... |
