| Balanced Power Hopefully somebody will come along to clean up my post and verbiage here. From what I think I know, in order to obtain say a 20 amp 240volt (balanced power) circuit, you would need a 20 amp dual-circuit breaker installed at the service panel. Of c... | |
| Does full range guarantee bass? Phasecorrect, if you meant me, I did not mean to sound as if my feathers were ruffled. They were not. Shoot, I don't even have feathers. Like I said, your one statement about subwoofers seemed pretty dogmatic. I meant nothing more and nothing less... | |
| Are Audio Dealers Missing the Boat? Inna, you bring up some good points. But to take it one step further, if one has found such a dealer, then wouldn't it make sense for the dealer to simply buy the product from the seller or for the buyer, thus removing seller/buyer from any furthe... | |
| Does full range guarantee bass? Gmood1, as I'm sure you know, finding the 'right' full-range speaker is only half the battle. Contrary to popular folklore, there is still another battle to be won. And that is finding the 'right' amp to drive the 'right' speaker.It amazes me how ... | |
| Good HT, bad 2 channel. On Budget, Any advise? Audiophanatik, you may have heard the phrase 'less is more'. You may have a classic case in point.Have you considered selling all of your HT equipment (except for the receiver) and starting over with a excellent 2-channel music system that also pl... | |
| Does full range guarantee bass? Phasecorrect, you seem pretty dogmatic about that subwoofer guarantee. Some of these so-called subwoofers aren't even rated to reproduce frequencies below 24 or even 30Hz. Go figure. Perhaps these should fall into a new class called 'sub-midrange'... | |
| Worthwhile $5 Tweak Sean, some mfg'ers in the high-end do exactly that. But apparently they filter out the offending frequecies (the effects) rather than the cause. And then even an excellent line conditioner may sound inferior when paired with such a component.I wou... | |
| Worthwhile $5 Tweak Ed_sawyer, as far as I know, everybody has roughly the same amount of dirty AC/dirty grounding issues. Unless, of course, one lives near power station, industrial plant, etc..I'm using Foundation Research LC-1's and LC-2 dedicated in-line conditio... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Most any kind of real jazz and rap.I have Miles Davis Some kind of Blue along with a few others. Every time I take MD's Some Kind of Blue out for a spin I think maybe this time I'll hear what others claim to hear, but no. After about 3 minutes I'm... | |
| Are Audio Dealers Missing the Boat? Hmmm. Where's that list showing which dealers are trustworthy and which are not?If there were an issue, say between you the seller and me the buyer, and we used your dealer as the intermediary, and the dealer sided with you, should I be shocked? W... | |
| Worthwhile $5 Tweak Of course you could have saved yourself $5 by simply disconnecting the grounds to your components outlets. Perhaps not the safest recommendation, but you most likely would notice a definite improvement in your system's sonics as grounds have a way... | |
| Do you really need ultra expensive cables? Like anything else, imperfect cabling strips away the sonics of the music. Since there is no such thing as a 'perfect' cable, amp, etc., some strive for the cable that is closest to perfect.As Brian pointed out above, cabling itself does not or sh... | |
| Does full range guarantee bass? IMO, Full range should be around 20Hz to 20+ kHz. And therefore, should guarantee bass. Quality of bass is another story.There is much musical info at the 22Hz to 40Hz range almost regardless of music preference. And yes the amp plays as big a par... | |
| Anyone use Kef 104.2 speakers with a REL subwoofer From what I hear what others say about REL subs, you should not be too concerned about a muddied bass. Provided of course you configure it properly and take a few pro-active steps.To help ensure the REL remains well defined for the lowest regions,... | |
| What Front end for my System , Advice Please Nice well thought out system Magoo. (Although I'm not sure about the Tact room correction unit.)Perhaps you might consider a Sony SCD-1 cdp with a Richard Kern mod. It's silver with XLR outs and 2 pair of RCA outs, and it plays SACD as well. It's ... |
