| Repair Reliability? To be fair, I've also had a few good experiences! Good idea to check repair history on these guys. My good experiences have all been with small independents referred by the manufacturer. | |
| Repair Reliability? I once sent back to the manufacturer (well respected, who shall remain nameless) malfunctioning monoblock amplifiers (sent back both even though only one was malfunctiong). When I didn't hear from them for aprox. 3 weeks I inquired as to the statu... | |
| Best way to extend a dedicated power line? Jea48, yes, I used a similar product. Haven't had any luck finding audiophile grade butt connectors. | |
| resolution and imaging Mapman, I'm not saying reproduced images are exactly like 'real' images. I'm saying whatever amount of imaging exists on a recording should be able to be reproduced on a high resolution system. Yes, there are flat recordings, these should be repro... | |
| Will you check this out Inspiring! Gives one hope. | |
| Best way to extend a dedicated power line? I recently went through the very same thing. I just butt connected the new romex to the existing romex. I tried to find some 'audiophile' butt connectors, but no luck so I ended up using a commercial butt connector I coated with the Quicksilver Go... | |
| resolution and imaging Back to live music and imaging. I've lived in Ann Arbor, Mi. environs my entire life. Living so near the University Of Michigan has allowed me the opportunity to hear countless musical performances by UM music school students. The music is general... | |
| resolution and imaging I think some are missing one of my points, imaging and lifelike sound are only one point at issue. I'm also saying that resoution is heard and/or at least somewhat defined by how well your system images and soundstages. A more palpable, dimensiona... | |
| Connecting a subwoofer to a Joule LA-150 With only one source, Don's method works, the other preamp output won't be filtered.With two sources you are using tape loop on preamp, both ouputs are filtered by BAM. using this configuration the BAM essentially remains between the source and pr... | |
| Connecting a subwoofer to a Joule LA-150 Yes, Don is correct, the second output to the sub will be filtered by the BAM, not good, I forgot. Placing the BAM between the amp and preamp is still not a good idea, the BAM has a pleasant effect on the source's sound, placing it between the pre... | |
| what kills soundstage depth? Your hunchs are spot on. Get your speakers away from walls, try to keep area between and behind speakers clear, ie. low equipment racks, no big screen tvs. Treat first reflection points on side walls with absorption, I use diffusion at first refle... | |
| Newbie Analog High Expectations?? Chasmal, you must have failed to see that Cory mentioned he was a mechanical engineer and likes to tinker, ie. the mod possibility is offered. If he doesn't want to tinker get a Rega, VPI, or other non-suspended tt. | |
| resolution and imaging My last statement about bad recordings sounding worse may in fact be wrong. My view on higher resolution and sonically challenged recordings has evolved over the years. I'm finding that high resolution may in fact improve the sound of many lesser ... | |
| Connecting a subwoofer to a Joule LA-150 I would go with Brainwater's solution, I don't think you'll like the sound with the BAM between preamp and amp. Ask Bobby, he'll say the same thing. | |
| Newbie Analog High Expectations?? Good idea for modding a Thorens TD 160, if you are a tinkerer, mod it according to the analog dept website. $100-200 plus mods gets you a nice setup. I have a fully DIY modded Thorens and its pretty damn close to my Scoutmaster setup. This table i... |
