| Need recommendations on the following processors Sean, you should have grabbed the Primare P30 from his pickup bed and ran as fast as you could! :) Interesting story. | |
| What is the best DB level to Sean, if one happened to like violin and perhaps not care for a 'jammin' rock band or vice versa, then yes. But Sean just because it's a 'jammin' rock band doesn't mean one instantly needs to crank it up to 100+db. If you're talking Guns N Roses o... | |
| What is the best DB level to It depends on a number of factors. Including but not limited to the following:1. Your audio equipment's sound type. Does it produce a golden or light, warm or analytical, yin or yang (yuck) type sound?2. Your amplifier specifically. Does it strain... | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps Sbruzonsky is correct. Monster is usually good to stay away from anyway. But with the current draw from your amp, you would need a very high powered AC regenerator which are very expensive.I'm using a Foundation Research LC-2 in-line power conditi... | |
| Need recommendations on the following processors Of those in your list, I'm guessing the Classe to be the only one capable of a class A rating.I'm using a Primare P30 pre/pro in my 2.1 channel system and believe it to be a first rate performer sonically. It's a no frills, no thrills, bare-boned ... | |
| Proceed AVP-2, Did they fix the glitches? It sounds like you have a number of requirements and you might want to prioritize them. No matter how much you spend you will compromise on one or more of those requirements.I would suggest making audio the no. 1 priority. IMO, if that isn't right... | |
| to cut or not to cut: help Air-Tight seems like nice equipment. If you screw it up, you've ruined a nice piece. Where do you obtain your Removable IEC socket kits? I'd like to do this to one of my components.Thanks, | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps Sean, the amps do not have to be 'starving' to experience some to many of the affects of being starved. Simply being a little hungry is enough seriuosly hamper an amps ability to perform. And I have no idea what affects a little hunger may have at... | |
| Help selecting a preamp/processor please. Look for a Primare P30 pre/pro as it includes XLR and RCA main outs. They are hard to find and the P30 includes a 100% analog in 2-channel by-pass mode. I've compared it in my home against a Conrad-John PV14, the Electrocompaniet preamp, and an Ay... | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps You keep playing it loud to determine the limits and then you hit a limitation and you don't know what to do. It's possible that at that high current your amps may be running out of power if they are on 15 amp circuits.Also, the amps may be runnin... | |
| How good are the Sony 9000es mods.? I own an unmod'ed s9000es and find it to be a nice unit that does much. I had spoken with Stan Warren of SuperMods on several ocassions. He went into much detail explaining why his $250 mod will provide a roughly 25% increase in sonic performance.... | |
| thoghts about isolation. Rumor has it that the mechanical isolation of energy tranfer is really a two-way street.I don't know much, but it is my understanding that mechanical isolation serves two purposes. In addition to preventing the transfer of energy of all outside vi... | |
| McCormack DNA1 options I'm not familiar with your preamp, but like the others stated above, it very well could be your source. I have a DNA-2 LAE and I've not experienced the negative attributes you mention. There is a chance that if the amp and/or preamp AC lines/outle... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? Tweekerman, I don't think anybody would disagree with you when you state that every choice in a driver selection employs trade-offs or compromises.Therefore, again I ask, why are people so willing to accept the trade-off's or compromises of the dr... | |
| How important is "brand name"? Sounds like you just described every industry in the free world. Brand names mean everything and nothing. Some to many times you cannot trust the major audiophiles mags either. The biggest secret in this hobby is coming to the realization that one... |
