| eminent technology 2 setup help Mike, i think that i have the ET set-up jig somewhere around here. I'll take a look for it this weekend and get back to you. That is, if you're interested. As far as the link that Johnnatias provided, it does work without problems. You might want ... | |
| dynaco tube cdp Joe, you've got a good memory. My Brother was looking for the Dynaco CD-V Pro for quite a long period of time and i had posted wanted ads / asked questions about these units for him. After holding out for quite a while, he had given up on finding ... | |
| moving coil or moving magnetic input. Other than impedances, it is easier for a higher gain input to be overloaded than a lower gain circuit. As such, using something other than a low output cartridge in a high gain MC circuit can produce harder, grainier output on peaks. Better phono... | |
| enough watts to drive these speakers? Help? Your calculations are a little optimistic based on my experience and will vary according to speaker design. Having said that, i don't see a problem with 8 - 10 watts of power feeding "normal" impedance speakers in this size room. That is, so long ... | |
| directional arrows on interconnects Most cables have the arrows aimed in the direction of signal flow. That is, the arrow points where the signal is going, not where it came from. In most cases, the arrow would point towards the preamp from the CD player or from the CD player to the... | |
| balanced is inherently flawed 1) A TRUE "balanced" design can swing twice the voltage potential of an identical single ended circuit. The gain of such a circuit is not necessarily twice as high ( a lot of other factors here ), but offers greater power potential with the associ... | |
| Jet...the new Ac/dc? Try playing Jet's "Get Born" CD on your computer and see what you get. On my puter, it is unplayable, probably due to the fact that it has Macrovision protection on it. You can't play it using Windows Media Player or with Real Audio. This disc wil... | |
| Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates Tgi: I guessed that age bracket as that is the age that many "ex-hippies" are close to nowadays. I was basing that "guesstimate" on the fact that both of my parents liked those performers and ... Well, you can put 2+2 together : ) For the record, ... | |
| balanced is inherently flawed El: I'm not nearly as opposed to IC based circuitry as one might think. One of my favourite preamps is IC based. So long as good quality parts are used and the engineer / designer knows what they are doing, an IC based component can sound quite go... | |
| balanced is inherently flawed Marakanetz: Diodes in themselves are "dirty" creatures and they too would require matching. Every diode has a different turn-on and recovery rate. Once again, you end up with more parts and more matching. Sean> | |
| Your favourite recordings that everyone else hates Tgi: I would guess that you are somewhere in your mid 50's in terms of age. Am i close ? Sean> | |
| Is it best to use a 5-channel amp for biamping?? If i was spending the money, i would buy the Signature. Then again, that's me : )Seriously though, i own both the Signature and non Signature versions of the two and five channel amps. In my HT system, the standard versions worked well but ran out... | |
| Is it alright to bi-amp with 2 different B&K amps? If they are from the same series / era of production, you won't have any problems. They are near identical designs with one just having higher rail voltages and more current with the associated increase in output devices necessary to pass the high... | |
| balanced is inherently flawed Herman: All i can say is "great minds think alike" : )I just posted or emailed someone stating much the same thing. Sometimes i do so much typing that i get confused whether what i sent was public or private. The part that stuck out in my mind abo... | |
| "Power hungry" speakers I could go on a tirade here about how passive crossovers "suck" ( both power and sonically ), but i've already pissed off enough people lately. It's bad enough that those with vented speakers don't like me, i don't need to add those with sealed, T... |
