| "Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs Northman,First off, do yourself the best favor you could ever do in this sport, go listen to the Bryston Model T's. Most likely you will find the standard 'Passive Crossover' version out there; that is what my pair started out life as. I run tr... | |
| "Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs Erik,I suspect that the OP is planning on buying a powered sub. I believe all JL subs have built in amps. | |
| "Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs I agree with what has been posted in this thread, more subs is better, a lot better. I am currently running three subs as that is what fits my 10,000 cubic foot room the best. Each new sub added very noticeable improvement in smoothing things ... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 That is exactly why I deferred to my friend John who has owned countless phono stages, its his hobby to rotate in/out of various designs.He was the one who chimed in with me early on about the PH 10 which he owns. We exchanged thoughts on it and ... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Granted, typical Italian design and they do a very nice job as always (have you sliced your fingers yet on the overly sharp vent cuts on the case? I did every-time I handled it). But the performance doesn't really come close to the either of th... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 lalitk,I have now been living with my second Whest, the PS 30 RDT SE 2019 with many of the PS 40 RDT upgrades modified into it for over a year. I would strongly suggest that you look at the Whest line, whether it is an upper level unit like mine... | |
| Pondering a change after 30 odd years... I am much like you; I had some fabulous, at least they were in their day, tower speakers from the 70's which I purchased while in college and working as a campus 'rep' for an audio retailer in the Boston area. They cost me dearly in the day. Th... | |
| A Surge Suppressor Story I was hit by a major surge caused by a lightning storm. It came in via the main power lines through my service entrance. The surge took out my entire sound system along with a lot of other electrical appliances, it also melted a number of outlets ... | |
| Best Speakers for a small Nearfield room, budget at most $10000 (used is also ok) I honestly do not think that you can beat any speakers from Bryston. Your room would do very well with the Middle T which will fill that space wonderfully. I had a pair of them in my 10,000 cubic foot space, which has an 18 foot high vaulted cei... | |
| Looking for phono preamp suggestions I have been using two phono stages from Whest Audio in England. I have a customized PS30 RDT SE 2019 and it just blew several other phono stages I had been testing. It's Single in Balanced out, but James may be able to customize the input if you... | |
| Phono Cartridge for $1,000. I am a huge fan of Audio Technica cartridges. I have not owned any of their MC designs as I have been a long time user of their very excellent top of the line MM, the AT20ss and it's still one of the best sounding carts out there. I recently pic... | |
| Switch from AB to D I concur with why0why,There is a huge difference in performance in Class D amps based on how much they cost. Inexpensive amps use switching power supplies and limited feedback engineering and most of the time an off the shelf Ice power module. ... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Ah lohanimal, thanks for the update. I am not familiar with your particular Whest, so I assumed it was the single chassis version.I must say that I have spent quite a bit of time reading the customer reviews on the Whest Audio site and that has b... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 @lohanimal The PS.02 from what I have read is a really nice entry level unit from Whest. It is probably similar to the Whest Three only it has a one box approach vs. the dual chassis design of the Three. I know that with each step up in the Whes... | |
| Wayne's Audio Problems? I have purchased used equipment produced by VPI and Bryston. When I needed parts or repair options (some things not fully disclosed by the previous owners), both VPI and Bryston took great care of me even though I bought this gear from sellers wh... |
