| Oppo 205 to KEF KC62 settings This sounds like some time on the phone is needed with the manufacturers in question. There is a lot going on here, so either experiment over time and trust your ears or default to what the manufacturers say about their stuff. | |
| EPDR more important than impedance alone In general though, if your amp produces twice the power into 4 Ohms as it does in 8 Ohms, you should be in good shape for an 8 Ohm rated speaker. That will give you plenty of current overhead, regardless of the phase angle. Do note most amplifie... | |
| High Fidelity Cables, why most threads about them got deleted I haven't a clue on why the threads are deleted but I don't think you need to worry about the company, they are making plenty on their cables. But, I'd worry about the backhoe you will need for your wallet when you buy their stuff! On the othe... | |
| The extinction of human interaction takes yet another step forward... Exactly! Well put! | |
| Speaker impedance patterns - how to read them? Keep in mind that a higher impedance speakers, say one that peaks at 10 or 12 Ohms but is rated at "8 Ohms", will require more voltage to drive it than one that peaks at 8 Ohms. It won't need as much current at 10 or 12 Ohms obviously, but it wil... | |
| Wood for a rack What are you going to use for legs? The Home Depot here has 1x4 and 1x6 Mahogany lumber, which is a thought. | |
| dynco pat 4 preamp phono stage. You will need to take the output from the Dynaco PAT 4 tape output using stereo RCA cables. Feed this into the McCormack preamp at the line level input - Tuner, Tape in, Aux in, etc. It will work just fine, the line level input of the PAT4 is ... | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm That is a very good point! In that case the table the turntable is mounted on becomes part of the tonearm system. | |
| Considering ditching 5.1 for a soundbar; suggestions? I'd never go with a soundbar if I had a decent home theater. What I did was put both on the same wall, wired the surround speakers where they are supposed to be, and set the 2 channel speakers to an optimum position. It worked great until I mo... | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm @drvinyl01 - Yes, although that comment pretty much applies to everything, right? A test drive means buying it, installing it, which also means cutting a new plinth, and then doing some listening. A very expensive approach if you decide you do... | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm @larryrs That is a good datapoint, thanks. I wonder how it sounds compared to a Kuzma 4 point? | |
| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. I do agree that Nakamichi was the best cassette machine going back in the day. But I have never heard a cassette sounding better than a vinyl LP, even at Nakamichi dealers. Consequently, I gave up on cassettes long ago. I do agree that a liv... | |
| Restoring vintage speakers This sounds like a too good of a deal, but I'll bite. If you are in the Bay Area of CA, send me a private note. I have a pair of KLH 30 speakers I am rebuilding into a pair of 12 inch subwoofers. Most of the veneer is fine, given the age, but ... | |
| Fun With Cable Risers @tonywinga Very nice system photos! Looking at your DIY risers, did you experiment with not having parallel cables running so close together? Nice, out of the box thinking! | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! This thread has really gotten off topic but I did do some experiments with Noalox a number of years ago. We had a problem in an amplifier where the steel chassis ground connection was rusting after a year or two, causing a noise problem. I fo... |
