a observation on Coldplay
Cw ... who knows what might have happened in the run up to the flight. Have you not learned to not judge someone by how they look (or your interpretation of how they look) ?I'm not saying that he's necessarily a great guy, but the fact that he has... 
Cause of Channel Imbalance
Is the channel imbalance the same at all volumes ? If it's worse at low volumes then it's likely a bad volume pot.Did you try switching the pre->amp interconnects to see if it's in the pre or the amp ? IF you switch the pre->amp interconnect... 
Is this ludicrous or not?
It's possible that there was a bad connection at one tube and that pulling it out and reinserting it fixed it. It may have nothing to do with the Walker SST.But you are right that there is a lot of bullshit in high-end audio. There's a lot of bull... 
Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp?
There's been a lot of pointless carping and sniping about 1st order vs non 1st order designs of late.I suggest we all listen with our ears and choose what sounds best to us in our system. It's quite clear that there is a wide variation in what dif... 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
While we're bashing the british cars I would point out that many US built cars of the same era being described were similar turkeys.While living in the UK I ran a mini for 100,000 miles with no problems at all. I moved to the US and bought a Grand... 
a observation on Coldplay
"In comparison to a record like The Bends or even OK Computer they are nowhere"At last ... that's what I have always thought. I don't particularly care for the newer Radiohead albums, but I am shocked at the attention Coldplay receive. To me they ... 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
Some rather silly responses here to a rather antagonistic thread.No country has a monopoly on good audio gear. I have US speakers, Danish amp, Japanese CD player, american DAC, british turntable and subwoofer.In the past I've owned british speaker... 
PMC vs. ATC
I know of people who use both over at www.pinkfishmedia.net. It's a UK based web site .. you might get answers there if not here.Never heard either myself, I'm afraid, so I can't help. 
First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons
"At the crossover point, for example, one driver is at .707, +45, and the other is at .707, -45, as I stated previously. Due to the fact that this is vector addition, they sum to unity at zero phase. And they do this not only at the crossover freq... 
First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons
A previous post asked whether preserving the waveform was more important than other aspects of speaker design (I am guessing that other aspects are flat frequency response, radiation pattern, and input impedance curve, dynamics and ability to hand... 
First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons
A previous poster has made the statement that using a 1st order crossover causes the LF and HF drivers to be 90degrees out of phase and this confuses me. At what frequency ?If the LF driver uses a 1st order butterworth type low pass filter, and th... 
First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons
"I'm not positive that phase-coherency leads absolutely to pinpoint imaging"I think coherency may be one of the more important of many factors that lead to pinpoint imaging. Inert cabinets, stiff, lightweight drivers, minimal crossovers all help .... 
First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons
I cannot really add to the science, but I would like to add to the voice of several others regarding the Green Mountain Audio Europas I own (I previously owned Spica Angelus, and prior to that non-coherent designs).The Spicas and the Europas both ... 
GMA Callisto feedback Green Mountain Audio
Thanks for posting Roy, and don't get me wrong ... I wasn't implying that GMA are gouging on the Callisto vs the Europa. I was simply saying that the Callisto is more than twice the cost of the base Europa, and as a buyer there had better be a sub... 
GMA Callisto feedback Green Mountain Audio
It looks to me like both the callisto and europa use the same LF driver (from Aurasound). To get the higher sensitivity I suspect that the Callisto (and Europa max) use a more expensive Morel tweeter, as the more expensive MDT-31 and MDT-33 are mo...
