| Help I think I blew a tweeter. Sean, you really think B&W is going to give him a matched pair? Unless they STRONGLY allude to this possibility I'd just replace the one tweeter. Its surround will break-in eventually to match the opposite side. Sensitivity matching is more ab... | |
| Help with NAD C320BEE brightness. Break-in??? I don't think I'd squash down the top octaves with VD cables just yet. The NAD has a nice linear top end. Let it break in longer, and perhaps reassess room damping issues in the meantime, as well speaker toe-in/sidewall stuff.I'm a firm believer i... | |
| Help, too bright No...it's the TREBLE-cut that they take FROM the music that may help that particular recording that may help Threetwo.... That's what lots of magnetic material (steel shot, in this case) does as a field medium around the electrical core.Cheapest o... | |
| Pass Labs amplifiers... I've seen pairs of Aleph 2 monos in the market for under $3k several times in the past year or so, and couldn't believe that they weren't snapped up right away. I'll never sell mine: they're suspended from the basement joists under the Parsifal En... | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? Spendor SC3 center channel (88dB MTM versions of the S3) turned sideways used as a stereo pair! Why the hell doesn't Spendor wise up and market these thjis way?! | |
| Swap Outlet in PS Ultimate Outlet They look like baby caps. | |
| Power problems I hope you mean only when it's PLAYING, and not just when adjusting the gain?! If the latter there could be a serious problem with the power supply of your amp, too. If you mean during musical peaks, yup, it's an overload condition. RSVP re dedica... | |
| HELP: how to compensate too laid-back source I agree with Slappy, except that I think that you've already done it...backwards! I suspect that the Marantz has a much warmer presentation (and more perceived bass) simply because its top octaves are rolled compared to the more neutral NAD, and t... | |
| Is pure class A ss the equal to tubes? Pass Labs Alephs do me fine. | |
| Aerial replacement for 10T ? Stehno, what with you? Kelly and I entertained my consulting at Aeriel as QA managerwhen he was pulling his hair out with 10T bass cabinet production variability! I have a LONG history in manufacturing engineering and product assurance so it's rea... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 CDP owner's suggestions I use my PCK13Q+G PC on my EMC1 SE, balanced through an Aleph P with GREAT results. I suuggest using a very neutral, clean cableset on this CDP, as its freq extremes are extended and clean. No need to roll off, warm 'em up or smooth 'em down with ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 2k Audi S4 took all my 51st birthday steam this summer. A German-reprogrammed chip allows 306 hp and a whopping 366 ft-lbs torque over a ridiculously wide band such that I need only use gears 1, 2, 4 & 6 to hustle to 125. Cheap BBS VX 8x17 whe... | |
| Good speaker wire limited budget Spica Angelus Canare Starquads are easily the best inexpensive cables available. | |
| Mixing and Matching Cable Brands: Bad Idea?? I'm a French-Canadian descendent who drives a Japanese car made in Indiana with German tires rolling on American asphalt, powered by fuel imported from only (Dutch) Shell-knows-where! Then I bought a German car with French snow tires that was othe... | |
| Good speakers for Pass Aleph 3? I use Aleph amps too, but I'm sorry, but I can't give credence to this question. You match speakers to a ROOM, not an amp.... Find speakers that sound great with your Aleph IN YOUR ROOM, and then you're done. So tell us about your room: it's dimen... |
