| Power Amp/Pre-Amp i have excellent results w/a melos music-director preamp, & a pair of electrocompaniet aw60ftt's, run in a wertically-biamped. set-up. ewe should be able to find these used for ~$4k, or perhaps less. if ya don't need/want a bi-amp set-up, the ... | |
| TUBE....Starting with Power or Preamp ? hi supakit, while either way can work, at yer budget, i'd suggest going w/the tubed preamp. imo, ewe really have to spend big bucks on a tubed amp to get it *all* - the joy of toobs, w/o giving up what solid-state amps do so well. i don't tink thi... | |
| Are Monoblock s worth it? hi sibelius, as an aside, the position of yer preamps' wolume pot may not be indicitave of anyting, other than the gain of the preamp. i've *never* had my preamp past 11:00 for winyl, never past 10:30 for digital or tuna - i'd be blown outta the r... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? stevemj, i'm sure all here will be innerested in yer li'l test. re: science, i'm not arguing that it hasn't gotten us this far, all i'm saying is it's *only* gotten us this far. it obviously hasn't gotten us far enuff to explain differences heard ... | |
| Oracle Delphi mkI tweaks kubla, no, the o-l motor-p/s was *not* a "whoo-hooo! Whoopeeee! ai chihuahua!!" kind of an upgrade. ;~) more subtle, for sure, but still worthwhile, none-the-less. better pitch definition, quieter background. i tink it was worth the money, especia... | |
| Oracle Delphi mkI tweaks this is a great 'table, imho, especially for the money. if ya awreddy got the springs upgraded to mkv specs, i'd recommend doing the counterweight & the bearing mod also - then ya got a regulation oracle mk-v - all except for the motor/power-s... | |
| Where s the bass? get a pair of hi-quality subs. that way ewe don't have to compromise the thiel's imaging/soundstaging to get better bass. whil i personally prefer passive subs w/an outboard electric x-over & separate amplification, i'm prolly in the minority ... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? stevemj, in yer second post to this thread, ewe say it all, & i'm sure everyone who feels power cords make a sonic difference wood agree w/ewe. you say: "...If your Purist cord does improve the sound it is because of some phenomenon outside th... | |
| Adding a Second Sub to whomever gave me negative wotes on my prewious opinion, why not act like a mature adult & tell me where i'm wrong. perhaps others, as well as myself, may be able to learn someting about this topic. as it is now, ewe contribut *nothing*, but... | |
| Cartridge for an old GRACE 707? to whomever gave me negative wotes on my previous comments, why not act like a mature adult & tell me what i said that's untrue, or rude. or if ya yust disagree w/me, yer comments may be of some use to others, as well as to myself.doug s. | |
| High Quality FM Tuner - Advice brian, i don't need a remote for the tuna, as i usually yust listen to one or two stations. i woodn't *dreamm* of using a preamp anymore, w/o remote volume control, at least.and to whomever thought it necessary to give me negative wotes on my last... | |
| Best Roof Mounted FM Antenna i'm not familiar w/the ron smith aerials antennas, but i use an antenna performance specialties aps-13 to great effect. it is directional, so ya prolly wood need a rotor, unless yer on a fringe area, & all the stations are in one direction.in ... | |
| High Quality FM Tuner - Advice hey cornfed, i'd be curious how the accufaze stacks up agains yer onix bwd1 w/soap. the onix, a minimalist tuna, is quite a bit nicer than the magnum ft101a, & the equal of the naim nat-01, imho. while rare on the market, these are a steal at ... | |
| Adding a Second Sub two subs will improve *all* aspects of a two-channel stereo system - better room-integration, better soundstage, less distortion for the same wolume level. go for it! :>) doug s. | |
| HORN SPEAKERS? two horn speakers that sounded as good as anyting i've ever heard, were the avantgarde duo's & the jadis eurythmies. and, this was on *any* type of music. outstanding dynamics. everyting was wery detailed & natural, only ting was the sound... |
