| Tube and Solid state Should not be a problem. Use a RCA female to RCA Y male splitter. I do this a lot since I have multiple subwoofers. Most preamps should handle the load, since amps have high input impedances and preamps can usually drive that without a proble... | |
| Pro-Ject Ultra 500 power supply Check the Pro-Ject website and if you don't see it there, call them. | |
| Stereo potentiometer tone controller It appears to be okay. The volume control appears it will work but I can't determine if the bass and treble will work. What is the reason to use this particular volume control? Given what I see here, a standard audio taper stereo potentiometer ... | |
| DIY cables question Back during the wild CB craze in which everyone who had a CB radio had to pump their power up to grossly illegal levels. I was just starting my quest for high end audio back then. My neighbor across the street was one of the those 1KW+ homebrew... | |
| How important is it to have identical speaker cable length? To the speaker, no, a small difference is not a big deal. But holmz is right, the additional pFd and uH could make a difference to your amplifier. Remember, the output is also the input due to the feedback network. As long as your cables are lo... | |
| Stereo potentiometer tone controller I need a bit more information to determine this. Do you have a datasheet for the CD device? This device is not in DigiKey or Newark, is it an obsolete part? | |
| What are some of the better tuners out there? A Sansui TU-777 is my favorite. I have had a few tuners over the years but this one seems to be the best of the lot. | |
| Paradigm Studio sub 15 vs Paradigm signature sub 25 I haven't heard that sub but I do own several sets of Paradigm speakers and they sound very, very good. Their performance is way beyond their retail price, so if you can spring for the bucks, I'd just buy a 25 and determine for yourself. Odds ... | |
| Does anyone else think that the Samsung plays music much better than the Apple? You know, with respect to sound quality, you might be expecting too much from your phone. Keep in mind, the "Market" for music via cell are teens, who predominately listen to mpeg music. I don't like Apple because of their business practices co... | |
| Need opinions on duping CD's Yes, a much better way. Download Exact Copy, which will cost you about $7 for a life time license. Then rip them onto a hard drive. either one on your PC or a USB drive, in either .WAV or .FLAC format. You will need some space, so make it a... | |
| The Miller Carbon Story And interesting story for sure! I have been looking at upgrading the motor in my unit to a three phase brushless motor with much higher torque than the old stock unit. But using a DC motor is an interesting concept. | |
| Rotel Michi X5 Integrated Amplifier Personally, I like the Shahinian's with that. Back when I worked in the industry, we OEM'd a lot of Rotel equipment and it was well worth the price they charged for it. Rugged, it worked, and it was reliable. I think the Shahinian's would be ... | |
| Preamp choice Maybe I missed something but the Progression is more than four times the cost of the McIntosh unit. If that is in your price range, then I would opt for the Progression. If not, there is certainly nothing wrong with the McIntosh. Whether the... | |
| The Amazing World of Streaming Audio - Video Music Interesting indeed. I will have to check it out. I knew about the broadcasts but so far I haven't followed up on them. I will have to check them out. Thanks! | |
| High End Portable Wireless/Bluetooth Speaker I think you are confusing Bluetooth with WiFi and assuming equivalent sound quality potential. Bluetooth is awesome for when the option is either Bluetooth or no sound, but it was never intended to have the bit bandwidth that WiFi has.Assuming yo... |
