| Tubes AND SS? PS: I don't swap out gear from one system to the other. | |
| Tubes AND SS? I used solid state for the home theater and the big stereo, with the big high quality gear, has tubes.Since the home theater runs every day for hours, since it plays music beside movies, I upgraded the speakers and power amps there. | |
| do you think a cheap type 1 cassette tape sounds worse than a more expensive type 1? I suspect the frequency response of the cheaper tapes won't be as wide as the better tapes. Finer grain recording material is more expensive than coarse grain and fine grain is what you want for bandwidth. On the other hand, a coarser grain re... | |
| How to properly make grounding in power strip Well, you could buy Hubbell hospital ground outlets and then use a copper wire to star ground everything. On the other hand, you have a decent master ground with the metal housings, since they are all tied together. The only ground noise you w... | |
| Martin logan panel removal? I would call the company and ask for specific instructions. The last thing you want to do is mess up your ML's! | |
| Downward firing subwoofer Probably not. The passive sub is designed to work within the cabinet volume and the subwoofer driver. Removing the passive will really muck things up. If you need more bass, get another sub, preferably the same as the one you currently have. | |
| WANTED: Center grill for Paradigm Signature ADP3 speaker Paradigm is still around, why not order one from the manufacturer? Is it not available anymore? | |
| What is this feature? Nope, no negatives, and I don't believe there is an official name for it. It is a nice feature, right next to a time delay when powering up a power amp and getting a huge thump in your subs. | |
| Isolation - Isacoustics Puck Mini vs Herbie’s Fat Dots This is specialized enough that you would have to try it and find out for yourself. The question is not so much will it improve things but if the improvement, one way or the other, is worth the cost. I suggest you try it and experiment, eventu... | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm The VIv Lab Rigid Tonearms is a very interesting design. The concept of using a liquid for bearings goes way back in time. Light houses used mercury to float the huge and heavy light assemblies for almost no friction. Does anyone on this board... | |
| Backup Generator transfer switch It is possible the main transformer down his street shorted a winding about the time of the installation and that is the reason he is having sound quality problems. There isn't anything in the ATS that can clip a 120VAC sine wave but if he reall... | |
| Ideas For A Beefy Solid State Amp For Subwoofer Duties Or do this one: Parasound NewClassic 2250 v.2 Two Channel Power Amplifier-Audio AdvisorI have one and it is a great sounding amplifier and it is on sale for $999. It is a stereo amplifier so get two of them so each channel drives one sub. It... | |
| Scratching my head...Bluesound Node 2i direct to amp Maybe it is just me, but it seems all the home theater receivers I have owned, four so far, sound fine in home theater with movies but fall short of a good quality two channel sound system. Even putting them in "Direct" or "Pure two channel" mo... | |
| IC vs. S/PDIF? The 75 Ohm is the "characteristic impedance" and pretty much all video gear is 75 Ohms. When the impedance of the output source and the termination source matches the characteristic impedance of the cable, there will be less overshoot and ringin... | |
| Are there any other cheaper options for power regeneration than PS Audio Yes, some folks here recommend Pure Power and others recommend Goal Zero Yeti 400. I haven't used either of these so this is not a recommendation from me, only repeating what others have found to work well for them. I know there are others out... |
