| Why are modern arms so ugly? Form follows function. | |
| DIY Speaker question If you cannot get the surrounds fixed you should talk to Madisound, they sell a wide range of drivers and could advise you. | |
| Sansui Turntable - Best one to own? Unless you are set on a one brand system you can do much better elsewhere. The Sansui is likely an OEM from another company and I don't remember any of them being that good. | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt I had the only good one they ever made; the SL-2 or something. B&W used them to demo the origonal 801s. I was a dealer for them and used one to drive mine; finally sold it with a pair of them. Most of their home amps were way bright. | |
| Advice on first MC cartridge AT 33EV, I had both it and the Denon and sold the DL-S1. | |
| best speaker cables for Martin Logan Spires When my friend had them he used Cardas GRs with Mac amps [275, 402]. I have not heard them with Rowland. | |
| Details for bi-amping The sensitivity of an amp is how much voltage it requires to drive it to full output. For example my Meridian 605s require .5 volt for full output; my CJ 350 takes 2 volts. Since the tweeters will take much less power to drive than the bass sectio... | |
| Details for bi-amping You do not need two preamps. You can use Y connectors from a single set of outputs, that is what I did when I biamped. Use good quality Ys. It is not clear if you are using 2 matched pairs of amps or 4 different ones. In the first case you will ne... | |
| Thorens TD-2030 and SME V You might want to look at a Rega RB 1000, which is competive with the V and should fit easily. Also you would save a lot of money. | |
| What will raising the Va of atransformers provide? I might add that I was one of the origional Krell dealers and have also sold Class A amps from Musical Fidelity and Stax. I had a preamp with a custom power supply using 2 Avil Lindberg torrodial transformers and very large caps built in the early... | |
| Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to I googled Mondegreen and got this: http://www.fun-with-words.com/mala_mondegreens.htmlHas some of the above and some other good ones. | |
| Do you understand the words to the Mus U listen to What about " A girl with colitis goes by"? I remember a article by William Safire in which he said that a friend had named these kind of mistakes "Mondegreens". This is from a misheard line from on of my favorite songs, the Scots ballad "The Bonne... | |
| What will raising the Va of atransformers provide? Dcarol, why do you think it does not? A true chass A amp draws 4 watts ALL THE TIME for each watt of output. So a 100 watt a channel amp will draw a constant 800 watts from the wall. An AB amp idles at a few watts and rarely draws its maximum curr... | |
| step up transformer on cd player Since the step up draws 110 from the PPP I don't see why it shouldn't work; I have a PPP myself. The only way to tell if the transformer effects sound quality would be to play it direct from 220 and then through the transformer from 110. I would t... | |
| Acoustic Treatment on rear wall I don't think you need 4" panels behind you. They are mostly for treating bass problems. I would use 2" and a couple at least rather than one. |
