| Sensitive ears to speakers. Help!!! You need to list your equipment and room acoustics. Your overly sensitive ears may also be a sign of hearing damage, which might be a slim possiblity. Hopefully, that's not the case. | |
| Monitor Speakers - most sensitive How about JmLabs Electra 905? Their sensitivity is 91.5, with a benign impedence so they're easy to drive. I have a pair of these my self, and love them. They are about 18 inches tall, and weigh about 30lbs each, so I don't know if they're small e... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Static charges, even large electrical charges won't influence the optical paths, but will wreak havoc with the electrical components, probably by adding noise. Static build up is a negative charge only. Neutral would be no charge at all. | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Hello again, people. For the record, here's my system: JmLabs Electra 905, crossed over with a Mirage BPSS-210 sub. Amp is now an Aragon 8008BB. The Pre is the Aurum. Interconnects are now Delta Labs Silver Ref-7. CD transport is an older EAD T-10... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Hi guys. If you want to get rid of static charge on your CDs, Carl, just clean the damn things. Also, CDs won't store magnetic anything, because they're not magnetic. Hey, Carl, maybe if you used a pen to draw on the CDs so they looked more like v... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc They're all a bunch of crap. Don't you people realize that CDs are made of aluminum and plastic? Neither of those are magnetic. Even if there were trace elements of cobalt, nickel, or iron, it would be too insignificant to have any effect. We're o... | |
| Amp (Watts needed?) for Mirage M5 Si's Hello. I had the M3's for a while, and yes, you'll need a fair amount of juice to get them really going. Go for at least 200 watts. A good, stable amp like a Bryston, Classe, Aragon will do nicely. Good luck. | |
| Bi-amping versus Mono-blocks Biamping with two mono's per speaker would be best. Without doing that, the best way to biamp is to use one amp for each speaker(ie:right channel drives bass, left the tweeter). This makes the demand on each amplifier even, so one isn't doing all ... | |
| What freq.do tube amps loosen up in bass Generally speaking, tubes aren't any good at putting out the current needed for good bass. It looks to me like you're crossing your sub over way too low(35Hz??). Unless your speakers are at or quite close to full range, go higher. Otherwise, you c... | |
| My Only Question Is......... Theoretically, this is impossible, unless the Wadia has a fault that a pre-amp can fix or disguise. You won't have to have tried it to know this basic fact. You're looking in the wrong direction. | |
| MP3 players Well, you may be right, but they sounded like crap from my friends computer into my system(JmLabs, Aragon, MIT, Classe). Let me know what you think... And don't be too hard on the old folks. Many of them probably know more than we do. Won't your c... | |
| MP3 players MP3 sucks, period. A tuner would be much, much better. Have you ever heard MP3s over a decent audio system, even a good car stereo? They're only bareable as background music, if you don't pay any attention to it. However, I have not seen anything ... | |
| what is Slew Rate ? Does this help? Slew rate: The term used to define the maximum rate of change of an amplifier's output voltage with respect to its input voltage. In essence, slew rate is a measure of an amplifier's ability to follow its input signal. It is measur... | |
| What have YOU got? Thanks, everyone. Keep them comming! No women out there? Don't know what you're missing! Here's what I have: JmLabs Electra 905, crossed over with a mirage BPSS-210 sub and LFX-2 crossover; Aragon Aurum pre, Aragon 8002 amp. Classe DAC-1, with an ... | |
| Krell and Utopia spkrs. Connections? Hi. I heard this set-up with the new MIT Oracle line, an 8' pair. Absolutely stunning. Interconnects were also MIT; not sure which ones. Good luck. |
