| Recall of Krell Amplifiers And this all goes to show, as Winston Churchill once said, you can fool some of the Audiogoners all of the time, and all of the Audiogoners some of the time, but you can not fool all of the Audiogoners all of the time.Al you are quite right that t... | |
| Your Favorite Traditional Ballad Here's another good ballad | |
| Recall of Krell Amplifiers This is a very old and well known problem with the Krell. The overheating and sparks have been captured in this image. | |
| Refrigerator noise How about contacting Custom Kitchen Deliveries...they could help move that refrigerator! | |
| Can speakers be too large for a room MWilliams,Al has a great point. Another concern might be tweeter compression (this is certainly a problem with the WP 8, as evidenced by Soundstage Measurements - I have no idea how the Sophia perfroms in this respect). Yet another possibiliity is... | |
| Your Favorite Traditional Ballad I really like Tom Dooley, and it is technically a real ballad to boot. | |
| Refrigerator noise Are you using just a stock power cord on the fridge? Have you considered a power conditioner on the fridge? Another option might be acoustic treatments - try sorbothane pads around the compressor or place the fridge on a Svelte Shelf. | |

I agree - I would suspect the majority of high end car amplifiers are soild state - I would imagine microphonic... | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Marty,The key with Booker T is that he knows how important it is when you DON'T play. It is often more important what you leave out or don't play! The right phrasing and space is what it is all about and makes it interesting. | |
| don't you love it when everyting fits in place .. Cool - please cue up some Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Gotta luv New Orleans. | |

But along the lines of Mitch2's comment, all of the effects mentioned in Ralph's post can be avoided simply by having adequately low resistance in the path between outlet and power amp. An indeed that is what I have found to be the mystery ... | |
| Totem Model One: Woofer buzzing, help please? Would a solution be as simple as getting a replacement pair of woofers and hooking them up? Yes - provided you find the correct replacement woofer from Dynaudio. It is very easy to replace woofers in most speakers. I am not familiar with Totem On... | |
| Why manufactures don´t burn in their amps and ... Every 200+ Watt per channel amp that I have owned came with extremely thick stock power cords. I think Ralph is on to something there. Power cords are important when it comes to high power output devices. | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test I am surprised that this is not generally accepted. My experience is that most good solid state amplifiers which are operated well within their capability (no clipping - i.e. at very modest levels) do sound quite close to eachother - much closer t... | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? Another INXS fan here...gotta love that Rhinoceros Studios ATC sound quality. |
