| Arcam phono board - problems DD,Nice to see you post the follow up. Sorry to see the hum is still there. Does sound like the Rotel has some power line filtering that squashes the the hum that the Arcam doesn't have.And yes, sometimes you do get what you pay for. The boards we... | |
| What does more power do for Magnepans? I tried to go back and study some of the math about maggies and power. These were pointed out by others; I am just trying to pass on their work and analysis correctly. First thing I ran across was the way Magnepan spec's the efficiency. 86db/1m/2.... | |
| Are attenuators linear or logarithmic? Gs,Thanks. I was just trying to estimate how much power the amps were pushing (or maybe better yet, the speakers were pulling) at certain levels of attenuation. I recently went active with the speakers and was trying to guess at the change in spea... | |
| What does more power do for Magnepans? Mr. T,Wasn't picking on you, just wondered. About where I sit from my 1.6's.I know you like solo and small ensemble acoustic music and evidently the smaller tube amps work well for you. It is just so opposite from my (I will admit, limited) experi... | |
| What does more power do for Magnepans? Mr. T,Just how close do you sit to your 1.6's to get 72 - 82db with 4 watts?Jim S. | |
| Arcam phono board - problems DD,Good hunting, and I hope it is just a pin or grounding problem.Jim S. | |
| Arcam phono board - problems I can't answer your question directly, I don't use the AV8. I have an Alpha 10 integrated with phono board and it is dead quiet at any volume and not prone to picking up noise.When it was installed at a dealer I watched them miss the pins. The guy... | |
| What is the most demanding on an amp? Hopefully a real expert will chime in, but I think the Magnepan line and 3.6's are a little different. When you biamp a 3.6 you are driving the mid-bass panel and the ribbon with the high frequency amp.I have read estimates on the planar asylum of... | |

| Best alternative CDs of 2007 Pandora is very cool. How do the pay the royalties? Do they hit you up for a subscription?Jim S. | |
| Best alternative CDs of 2007 Thanks for sharing. You got one of my favorite artists on the list... P.J. Harvey. I need some new inspiration too. Big mainstream alternative fan in the 80's and 90's but lost my way with a couple of exceptions (White Stripes, Doves, etc.).Then t... | |
| Analog vs. digital segment on PBS It was interesting and disappointing at the same time. Interesting was the analog engineer saying that he could incorporate the same "effects" as the digital engineer. Then the digital engineer says - so what - "I can do it quicker and easier and ... | |
| PBS's Wired Science "Analog vs. Digital". Fatparrot,Yeh, that is next weeks segment. Is digital (or analog) worth the effects on the climate? Probably a toss up. Personally, I think it (global warming) is the methane.Probably a so-what, but I thought some might be curious. I am.Cheers,Jim | |
| PBS's Wired Science "Analog vs. Digital". Hey Tom,It shows up on CET's schedule several times. Wed. at 8:00PM and Friday at 9:00PM. Also a bunch of odd times throughout the week.http://www.pbs.org/kcet/wiredscience/page/local_listing.html This is the link to local listings and the title o... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? EjcpaMike Morrow @ Morrow Audio dabbles in old tuners. Don't know whether he does it for more than just fun, but you can ask.Jim S. |
