| The focus and air lie Audiophiles that stay in the hobby long term, go through many phases of appreciation....I know I have.Some things stay with you, because they are important to the enjoyment of music, other things get tossed aside because you find that they are not... | |
| The Most You Have Paid For Shipping I shipped an old Counterpoint DAC to Japan last year (USPS)...I don't recall it being all that expensive? ($50-$60).Dave | |
| Emotiva? I'd like to hear their new XPA-2 two channel amp, impressive specs and build. I could only find suggestions to buy their products, hardly any first hand user reviews. (except at the Emotiva forum).Dave | |
| Almost there but not quite.... If you have very good sound already, you could try some tube rolling. Amperex tubes sound very good in the Mantissa preamp...I use 7308's, or 6dj8's in mine. Both have very good sound IMO, the 7308's are focused and vivid...everything in it's plac... | |
| Quads vs Sound Labs vs Maggie 20.1 A triple stack of Quads would be "more" than outstanding!...check out Quads Unlimited. (I think their in Florida).That would probably put you in the price range of the Soundlabs or Apogees.Dave | |
| Quads vs Sound Labs vs Maggie 20.1 Hi DetlofI put a smiley at the end, we all know better is only an opinion.My opinion: The quads are nice, if...you don't have a large room, and don't play your music at higher volume levels, and don't need deep bass.The Maggies are nice, have deep... | |
| Quads vs Sound Labs vs Maggie 20.1 If your going to spend that kind of money, I would grab the pair of Fullrange Apogees that are for sale on Audiogon. Have the seller ship them to Rich Murry @ True Soundworks for complete rebuild.You will have a rare and outstanding speaker system... | |
| Help me choose an amp I think ATI makes the OUTLAW amps, for Outlaw Audio. I'm pretty sure they make amps for several other companies also.Dave | |
| Babies and Speakers Babies love music...at least all of mine did. If you like all kinds of music (and most audiophiles do)...save the rock music for the awake hours, if your going to crank it up.Dave | |
| what exactly is ht bypass Yes, If you can switch between those two inputs...or the sub will do the switching for you.Just make sure that the manual states that you can use both inputs at the same time...and not, one or the other.Dave | |
| what exactly is ht bypass The subwoofer can be a problem, although there a several work around solutions. The sub needs to stay at the reciever to remain active at it's present level.You could move it to the new tube preamp...this does involve some amount of trade off...lo... | |
| Are the JL Fathom subs really that good.... JohnYou said..."Don't hold back"? (I didn't, and you get mad?)...on first read, I thought you question sounded a little silly?I did post info regarding my subwoofer setup methods a few posts down?....just in case you weren't pulling our leg.My bad... | |
| New miles davis cd.... wow I have it on "Columbia"....outstanding for it's age!Dave | |
| Passive vs. active crossover? Most analog active subwoofer crossovers only allow low-pass adjustment of volume level, ect, (the active part)....the hi-pass output is fixed, except for maybe crossover point choice, and in some cases filter type.An active subwoofer, used with a ... | |
| NHT x2 x-2 crossover x-over You don't really need an external crossover, you may, or may not need an hi-pass filter though....depending on your speakers.I would get the sub, and decide the hi-pass filter issue after a trial run. The hi-pass filter issue, should you decide yo... |
