| Phase inverting preamps Yes, I agree with both of you (Herman and Bowbow). It is just terminology. | |
| Experience with Blue Circle amps Definitely contact Gilbert at Blue Circle. If there is not a dealer in your area, he has been known to sell direct at a decent discount (up to 25% for cables in my case), and he will ship to your house for the price quoted. | |
| I'm looking for a good tube preamp under I k. I'll third the BC21. The Blue Circle has point to point wiring as well. I will add as an alternate the Conrad Johnson PV-10. | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? Tweekerman: The REL Storm III is not a good match for the N802. The N802 is in another (higher) class than the Storm. Won't make much of a difference. I am not surprised he did not like it. But instead of giving up he needs to think higher. Your f... | |
| Have you ever collected on insurance???? They paid me quickly, but it was a case of it never getting to its destination. So it was lost or stolen their possession. | |
| Solid State Integrated in 1500- 1800 range ? Magnum Dynalab MD308? New is high $2300 (100 watts/channel)Perreaux E160i Integrated Amp $1800. (160 watts/channel) | |
| XM Radio home receivers A friend is using his car XM radio in the house with an adapter they sell. He likes it. He has a receiver based HT system, so not comparible to a high end 2 channel system. | |
| Best symphony recordings As far as Madisonears comment on the Kleiber, if he is referring to the "DG Originals" release, I agree somewhat. I don't like the sonics of many of those CDs. I have an earlier CD release of that 5th, and have it on LP.There is a recording of the... | |
| Music recommendations, please Sean, I actually did think of Ian Anderson also. I figured a young women would hear Jethro Tull and go "Yuk"!!! I was not aware of that other recording.There is nice James Galway recording of Japanese melodies that I have on LP. It may now be on C... | |
| Phase inverting preamps I give up posting on these type of questions. Bob is right, it is simple, if an audio system has an odd number of phase inversions it will be out of phase. Some preamps have a switch to add a stage to change that kind of phase. However, if a CD wa... | |
| Phase inverting preamps There is a BIG typo in my post above. It should say that an out of phase recording CANNOT be corrected by reversing the speaker terminals. | |
| Phase inverting preamps Ghostrider is correct about reversing the + and - on the speaker terminals. It is NOT reversing the left and right channels. Some preamp makers (Conrad Johnson, Blue Circle and others) do this because adding another otherwise unnecessary gain stag... | |
| Music recommendations, please She should definitely look at the Mozart Concerto K314. It is studied, performed and recorded for both oboe and flute. She can therefore play it both ways. There are many recordings available by both instruments. There are two other Flute Concerto... | |
| Best symphony recordings There are two Kertesz recordings of the Dvorak; one is around 1961, the other about 1967. RcPrince: Confirm that the 1967 recording is the one to check out, which is my understanding. | |
| top 5 cd transport/dac cost no object One of the best is also the cheapest. Pick up a new old stock Aiwa XC-37M on eBay for +/-$75. Then pick up a used MSB Link DAC for +/-$175. Have both modified by Stan Warren; which is about $130 for the Aiwa and $250 for the MSB. Total investment ... |
