| How sensitive is the B&W Nautilus Midrange? I had 802's and 3 mids failed....I didn't play them loud, and my amps are high powered and don't clip...especially at those levels. B&W replaced them without question..however, it was a pain in the behind...and I was always questioning the spe... | |
| DiMarzio cables Yes...Dimarzio makes very good stuff, however, as I always have said.......you have to hear cables in YOUR system to see if it does the job you want it to do. All cables sound different in different systems. | |
| Vandersteen 2ce The terminals are the old fashioned small spades....Richard says they are the best sounding he's found. | |
| Can the output of an ARC PH-7 be turned down? I would get Audio Research's take on it.. | |
| Benz cartridge phase? Only if you wire them wrong at the headshell | |
| 4 ohm or 8 ohm tap The answer to that is that your speaker is not 6 ohms. No speaker is 4, 5, 6, 8, or 10 ohms. That number is the AVERAGE impedance of the speaker using a non-standardized test. Listen to the speaker both ways and enjoy the best way. You cannot dama... | |
| Details for bi-amping I am concerned that unless you have 4 exact amps, and 2 exact stereo preamps, the sound may be difficult to meld inaudibly.Its not just a matter of gain matching at a particular frequency, but to track all the sound at any frequency exactly right.... | |
| Cardas Golden Reference upgrade to what? Jallen....At this level, the point of diminishing returns is at play here" I question this statement. I found that ALL cables sound different with different gear...and that it has absolutely nothing to do with cost. ..for instance... I absolutely ... | |
| New Vinyl - "scratchy"? Evaluate the "scratchiness" after playing the record 5 or 6 times. I found that new records sometimes get quieter after awhile. Is this the ONLY record that sounds "wrong"? Is this a new cartridge installation? | |
| HELP-woofer moves alot when playing lps I had this same issue in my system....tore my hair out until someone suggested that it is some kind of RF...from airport, etc. I replaced my cables with shielded ones, and the pumping was gone. ...I'm not saying that is YOUR problem, but it was mi... | |
| Favorite Pre Amp and Amp with Vandersteen? I have an Ayre V1xe amp and a K1xemp preamp into Vandersteen 5A's and are very pleased. | |
| B&w 803s. Vs nautilus 802 I like the Rowlands, and the Vandersteen 5A's, but they don't work well together. Try Ayre or Audio Research...sometimes McIntosh with Audioquest Sky/Everest cables. ...however, I think you should put your money into B&W speakers....I know ...... | |
| Balanced / single ended night and day difference Many components sport XLR (balanced) inputs and outputs without really being a balanced circuit to impress their buyers. True balanced, from input from a cartridge to the output of the amp will reveal a much better signal to noise ration, and bett... | |
| B&w 803s. Vs nautilus 802 Bombay...I'm a professional violinist...there is nothing wrong with my hearing and I know what music supposed to sound like. ..just for the halibut, listen to the Maggies, Vandersteens, et all...but better yet...go to some live concerts. | |
| B&w 803s. Vs nautilus 802 Goatwuss...yes they were set up correctly....and yes, they lasted 6 months....too long. After 4 months, the right tweeter needed replacement which B&W paid for...but which I did (very easy).,,but uncalled for with an expensive product. They we... |
