| help arcam phono preamp quandry contact the US distributor for Arcam to see how much a card is :http://www.audiophilesystems.com/It's a lot less hassle to have fewer boxes and power supplies so I'd go with an arcam card if it's comparable with Creek / project on the price. | |
| Small floorstander recommendations That looks like a good list ... I'd go and listen to some and take your amp along. I really doubt that comments from other people using other amps with other tastes will really help you narrow it down. You've got a great list of speakers and now y... | |
| Preamps for dummies that would be me Without wishing to get too technical (because I'd probably demonstrate my ignorance) I believe that the biggest problem with a passive preamp is that of impedance matching. Passive preamps can offer a lower input impedance than some sources are ab... | |
| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? I prefer to wire all my equipment so its casing is live and then wear thick rubber soled boots when touching it.Additionally knives come flying out of my living room wall whenever anyone lifts my CD player. And that's if the thieves have even mana... | |
| Upgrade from Spica TC-60's. Hi Easy. I added a powered subwoofer (a REL strata3) to my Spica Angelus speakers and now I have great bass added to the wonderful midrange and imaging of the Spicas. If you really like all aspects of the TC-60s apart from the lean bass then a pow... | |
| How much to spend to beat $1200 10yr old speakers? I very much doubt that speaker technology has improved to where a $600 new speaker would even come close to a $1200 10 yr old speaker. Perhaps a $1200 new speaker would improve ... which is not bad considering inflation.I think you'd have to try, ... | |
| Suggestions for 220v amp Av_specialist ... the Cyrus amps have considerable current and voltage driving capability when the PSX power supply is added. I'd be really surprised if they are underpowered.They also make monoblocks now which could never be called underpowered.I... | |
| And What Did You Get Your Wife For Christmas? Chuck .. way to go ... right attitude. Christmas presents are for kids ... grown ups should know better than to get fooled into the "I just loaded up OUR credit cards to get you something which you don't really need, just because the media makes m... | |
| Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies? From personal experience my REL sub is crossed at 27Hz (so probably outputting up to 35Hz). It was directional enough that I ended up placing it between the speakers, next to the left hand speaker (since I listen to a lot of orchestral music, and ... | |
| Here's how a CD copy of a copy can sound better CD roms and audio CDs use different error correction, so I think it's not true to infer that audio CDs have a zero errors just because you can retrieve files without error from a CD-ROM.I personally don't believe that a copy can sound better. I ha... | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? I am very lucky to have never been unemployed. I did once have to take a month off sick ... that's when I found out the true horrors of daytime TV. | |
| What's My Problem? test #1.Could you connect the 9000ES directly to the Rotel power amp and play a not-too loud CD (even beter does the 9000es have a variable output ?).test #2Alternatively borrow a friend's CD player with a variable output , connect directly to the... | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? I've come to the conclusion that daytime television is an industry conspiracy to force the masses to go out to work. If mortgage, car and health payments aren't enough, then daytime telly will surely drive you out the door and seeking gainful empl... | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? sorry to hear about the fried crossover. Hope you get it fixed soon. Being without music is no fun at all. Heck .. you might have to watch TV over Xmas ... how's that for torture ! | |
| How important is speaker positioning?My experience Snipes .. it's a long time since I read their web page, but I suspect that the intersection point refers to a point that would be formed by an imaginary line coming straight out of the speaker cone, perpendicular to the baffle.
