| Bi amping Horz / Vert / Parallel / Series ???? i run my aw60ftt's vertically bi-amped, & i think it's great. never tried 'em horizontally bi-amped, but it sounds better than the aw75 & aw100 i previously had running horizontally bi-amped.i also never tried the aw60's bridged - no need ... | |
| Best Used DAC for 1000? $130 delivered will get you an art di/o. can't say i compared it to the above-mentioned units, but it smoked a resolution audio cd50, a highly regarded $3k cd player. $100-$200 worth of mods take the di/o to another performance level altogether...... | |
| Home Theatre Software: Insulting? "Home Theatre Software: Insulting?" sounds like an oxymoron to me! ;~)doug *doesn't do movies* sedon | |
| Rogue 99 pre vs Kora Eclipse pre i have never heard the kora, but i owned a magnum version of the 99 a year ago, when i was in preamp-upgrade-mode. i'd definitely get the kora! ;~) in fairness, the rogue may have fared better if i had shorter interconnects from the pre to my outb... | |
| Buy a hi-end CD player/transport now? rlb61, i pretty-much agree w/what you're saying, tho i don't have 1st-hand experience w/hdcd. only thing i have a small disagreement about, is how much money is needed to spend to get the most out of a basically flawed format... ;~)doug s., happil... | |
| CJ Walker..upgrade or not? piezo, i'm not saying ya need a new arm; just saying what arm *i* used! ;~) the mods i talk about are easy as pie - i got the corian for the subchassis as scrap from a kitchen supply place, & bought the correct size delrin from a plastics plac... | |
| Buy a hi-end CD player/transport now? no, i have *not* had intimate experience w/all (or even with many?) hi-dollar cd-rigs. all i know, is the experience i *have* had: my modded di/o, fed from a modest nad 5-disc cd-changer, smokes the well-respected $1.8k alchemist nexus, & the ... | |
| WANT tukans to do the disapearing thing??? want 'em to disappear? send 'em to *my* house! ;~) seriously, try a tubed preamp, for starters. i assume the speakers are away from the side walls, &/or have sound absorption at the sidewalls' 1st reflection points to the listening position...... | |
| personal experiences with quaility preamps... melos ma333r or sha-gold-r preamp: tubed, remote control volume/balance, great sound - able to compete w/the bestout there, imo - $1k-$2k used. amps: electrocompaniet aw60ftt, aw75dmb, aw100dmb, aw120dmb. killer solid-state amps, not tube-like, bu... | |
| Buy a hi-end CD player/transport now? the $3k resolution audio cd-50 & its replacement, the $3.5k cd-55 are well-respected single-box units. i wouldn't trade my modded art di/o for one of 'em, tho. if you can diy, it'll cost ~$200-$250; otherwise, get one already modded, for $300-... | |
| CJ Walker..upgrade or not? i got much improved sonics from my cj55 by replacing the armboard w/one made from delrin, & fabricating a new subchassis from corian. the motorboard was replaced w/a piece of sintra - a rigid closed-cell artist's mounting board. the suspension... | |
| Another 2,000 Speaker Question funny how things change. i was waiting for newform's john meyer, who said he was gonna work on a design w/accuton drivers. when he abandoned that, i started looking into the vmps ribbons; now i'm leaning in that direction! ;~) another one of those... | |
| Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral hey tweek, go to the harmonicdiscord site & check out vmps' forum there - brian's www is outta date, supposed to be updated any time. the latest rm1 & rm2 are better than what's shown on his site - improved ribbon midrange *and* tweet. the... | |
| Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral tweek, ya say:"...so yea i can make the sacrifice on low end for what i get in mids and highs..."no sacrifices required - repeat after me: vmps rm40... vmps rm40... vmps rm40... ;~) doug s. | |
| Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral hi tweek,all i can add is this - if the ml cls' went louder than 93db (which they won't do, even when crossed over to subs at as high as 100hz), i would have a pair in my house right now. absolutely one of the best sounds i've ever heard - for sma... |
