| VMPS RM-40 - Anyone Heard as owner & lover of vmps larger subs, i am also interested in the rm-40's. as there's a dealer w/them here in my area (dc), i hope to arrange an audition soon. i had actually emailed the dealer before the ces; he has just gotten back to me... ... | |
| what is the best sub amp. brian cheney of vmps, (who makes *killer* subs, imo), uses qsc amps for his low-end... i'd like to get a pair, they're not really *that* expensive, but it may be cheaper for me to have stan warren mod my adcom gfa555's, which aren't too shabby in ... | |
| Monoblock disadvantage or...? i believe Seandtaylor99 has the best advice. i doubt it's a ground loop issue, or you would easily be able to hear it from the listening position, possibly even the next room... ;~)doug s. | |
| Hall of Shame vdub, i *have* to laugh!!! this *exact* thing happened to me just yesterday! *EXACTLY* the way ya describe it! :>) i was pumping gas, when this van pulls up; two guys lean out & say "we just finished this job & have some speakers left o... | |
| Hall of Shame makersmark & killerpiggie, twas *i* who mentioned the art d/io (yup, that's "io", not "10" - it stands for in-out, as the device is actually an adc as well as dac.) as a matter of fact, i even posted a thread about it, where more info can be h... | |
| Hall of Shame makersmark, i think you're *close* w/your comment about cd-players, but i'd up the ante to, say $200, mebbe a bit more if ya want a cd *changer*... of course, this is only accurate if you're using a modded art d/io dac, which will set you back $30... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com hi bob, i in no way meant to slight your product or your efforts - i'd love to hear the blowtorch. preamps & amps (especially preamps, imo), are items that *can* be made to sound great w/lotsa time & money thrown at them... of course, it's... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com re: the ctc blowtorch - way-expensive preamps may be worth something for those w/deep pockets, but i'm not so sure about expensive dac's... ;~) and, after i have a chance to audition the vmps rm-40's, i may have the same thing to say about way-exp... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com good luck, joe. re: soldering, really - w/a 30w iron & the $10 rat-shack desolderer, ya don't have to be an expert. as far as electronics knowledge goes, i'm basically an electronics illiterate, but i could still do it, cuz all ya have to do i... | |
| Hall of Shame sure, paul, there's room for folks who may agree w/some of esmeralda's views. but *all* of them? designers of low-efficiency speakers may have no use for lo-power tube amps, but, surely they have use for solid-state amps, both pure class-a, & ... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com plato, bolder cables will offer a 5.4a p/s for $100. but ya might want to try your monolithic p3 p/s - that's supposed to be a nice p/s...kichoi, good for you - but, i *can* say that the mods i've done have taken the unit to a competely different ... | |
| Hall of Shame will, ya have a point... *EXCEPT* for the small fact that ezmeralda rejects out of hand almost "ALL" of what the hi-end is all about. what's the point of that? what's he wasting his time (and ours?) here for? ie: another big hobby of mine is cars.... | |
| 3a decappo's or proac 1.5 for cary 300sei cary 300sei may not be enough juice for the proac 1.5's. i heard these being driven by an 18wpc antique sound labs integrated - very nice, but ya couldn't crank it up...i've never heard the 3a's, but aren't they quite efficient? may be a better ma... | |
| Hall of Shame seandtaylor, perhaps i shouldn't speak for maxgain, but i'm sure his feelings closely mirror mine: you are sticking up for someone who, in condemning things he doesn't like about the hi-end, uses the word "ALL" an awful lot.personally, i can only ... | |
| Hall of Shame sure, dave, the t2's work in your system cuz of those lousy paradigm speakers! ;~)seriously, detlof's right in the fact that a few bad apples can spoil the bunch. sure did for ezmeralda11! ;~) ezmeralda's definitely outta line in just about every ... |
