| Need a speak/amp compatibility opinion....... I may be fuzzy on this, but didn't Kelly design the 6 for front-wall positioning after much feedback re the too-strong bass of the 10, 8 and 7b models? If so, you might find the 6 a bit anemic out in the room. The 7b might be a better choice. Ern | |
| Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables? Oops! I stand corrected! I mistakenly remembered a conversation with the guru at Virtual MODE...not Dynamics.Sorry. (Damned gingko isn't worth crap!) | |
| tough sounds to reproduce ??? Thanks Abstract. The rebuilder who voiced my B has played near too many drummers in trios over the past couple of decades. I've managed to sell two Subies to TWO other good tuner/rebuilder/musicians (bass players) in the past year, and all three o... | |
| I Need a Reference Point Well, folks, he's pushin' for an answer....I found the ARCAM to be pretty neutral and extended, with a decent open midband. A slight lack of PRaT, or two left footedness, was a bit unnerving.I'm a musician who can't dance (something about anticipa... | |
| Need help from Guru's Hmm...I demoed the N803s, and found that they indeed need a good dozen feet to cohere. So you've got that part right.However, I found the tweeter to splash easily, so I imagine you've got to treat your room's reflection points carefully and aggres... | |
| Aleph 3 vs Aleph 30 Volksamp Peter at Pass says they're the same. | |
| Near field listening and speaker placement Was about to state Soix's point.I listen to 3-ways in a 7.5' triangle in a 14x24 room.The speakers are 8' out from the front wall.I tried several serious 3 ways (N803, N804, Ariel 8, Revel F30, VA Fidelio) before deciding upon my choice (Parsifal ... | |
| Integrated Amps: Classe vs. Audio Refinement? The transformer in the ARC is larger than the one in the single YBA, but smaller than the DT YBA....Decaf, Natalie.... | |
| Anybody have a technical definition for "Jitter"?? 20s? 40s? I had a 1961 Bug with bent wheels that jittered a LOT at resonance (60 mph). Threw a rod on the expressway at rush hour. There's a timing error, eh? | |
| Can POWER CORDS really make that big a difference? Yes. I made some from Belden 83802 and good connectors, along with dedicated lines from same. The dedicated separate lines for the CDP and the pre were more important than the PCs, I think. Have fun, but DON'T spend big money here.... | |
| tough sounds to reproduce ??? Nil...huh?I have my Steinway B positioned between and a few feet behind my Parsifal Encores. I hear GREAT piano upper octaves from my EMC-1 MkII/AlephP/Aleph2s?Encore system.It's the LOWER octaves that aren't the same!A grand piano's upper octaves... | |
| Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables? I spoke with Rick a two years ago about cables. He recommended using Romex 12AWG/3 for speaker cables. Join two conductors together for ground, use one for hot.He said he liked it better than all the $$ stuff, and used it in his ref system for com... | |
| Dumb Question 36 Omit the surge protector. Odds are better than even that it's compromising the sound...especially on front end components like CDP or pre.... | |
| Completely passive audio system... My system's full of passive-aggressive Alephs. I get TOO passive and leave them on, and they get REAL aggressive on the electric bill! | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? Wife, 15 yr old daughter, TV (gotta be honest),62 year old Steinway B, tuner, then by beloved CDP. Sometimes I wish the order would flip...! |
