| Active Subwoofer Crossover I've tried several different crossovers - some active and some passive. the best sounding, and most flexible, i've found is the XTA DP-224. one feature in particular that i found has made a significant difference is the ability to time delay the... | |
| Preamp recommendation please.. another recommendation for ModWright... i use an SWL 9.0SE with a SS amp and absolutely love it. i prefer it to all my previous preamps (Aesthetix and Pass Labs amoungst them). | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? @grannyring i haven't used the Rothwells personally but have heard that they aren't the last word in transparency. I can say that the LDR pre in my application was completely transparent, and enabled me to perfectly dial in the amount of attenuat... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? @grannyring...i use an LDR preamp effectively as an attenuator at the Job inputs. the LDR piece is set at a specific level and simply left there. input switching and system gain adjustments in use are still handled by my Modwright preamp. rick sch... | |
| So how many people are using subwoofers to add to the excellent subs already mentioned here (Rythmik, SVS, Audiokinesis, etc) i will also suggest Seaton Sound. i recently added a seaton submersive f2 and am EXTREMELY impressed with it's performance for music (for movies, a distant seco... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? @grannyring... what is the sensitivity of your speakers and the gain of the preamp you are using? this matters much with the job's 35db of gain and 0.75V sensitivity. i found that i also had a hiss with my 94db speakers and modwright preamp unti... | |
| DAC vs. Preamp i'm also firmly in the 'better with a dedicated preamp' camp. wanting to simplify my system as much as possible, i've tried several times to remove the pre and use a DAC (wyred, weiss, etc, etc) to control volume, but have always found that i pre... | |
| Need a subwoofer reccomendation..... +1 on Rythmik... fantastic subs, and right in your neighborhood (down in Austin). they have a couple of models in your price range. you could do a (whole) lot worse than bryan's subs. | |
| What is the best way to add subs in my system? lots of great information here:http://www.soundoctor.com/whitepapers/subs.htmif you want to use an active XO, jl audio, bryston and marchand are the most common. if you're just looking for a line level high pass filter, Vandersteen makes a decent ... | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth While not as 'tubey' as the CJ offerings, I'm extremely impressed with the Modwright SWL9.0SE I picked up a few months ago. After some tube rolling, I settled on Amperex 7119 Pinched, which moved things tonally in the 'tubey' direction. Sounds abs... | |
| Speaker cable suggestions @ Infection: Acoustic Zen Satori... I prefer the ClearDay cables to the AZ's by a considerable margin. In fact, I prefer them to all the cables I've tried previously. Of course YMMV! | |
| Advice re the use of OTL amps vs others the S-30 is one of my all time favorite amps, and Ralph is one of my all time favorite guys to deal with in this crazy hobby. Give him a call or send him an email - he'll give you honest advice on what he feels will work best, not just what he wan... | |
| Best value in pre-owned preamps right now? +1 for the Modwright SWL 9.0 suggestion. I've tried (multiple times) to remove the analog preamp from my system, but always come back to them. It's a personal preference, having a standalone preamp in the signal chain happens to be mine - YMMV. I ... | |

| Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables Another fan of Clear Day cables here... I have a pair of double shotguns that replaced far more expensive Acoustic Zen's. They are fantastic cables and Paul is one of the most sincere and honest people I've ever dealt with in audio. |
