| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Well, you didn't answer either question.Why do these people say they have passive preamps sections in their integrateds if they don't according to your strict defintion? It would be to their marketing advantage to deny the preamps sections are pas... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons I haven't read this entire thread, but it's not clear that a particular speaker which is or claims to be time and phase coherent will have a simple crossover network with few parts, although that seems to be the case with Meadowlark and Green Moun... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier sas > Then your amp is not a Basic amp, but an integrated amp with the extra gainstage already incorporated into it. If it was a Basic amp, then you wouldn't be running a CD player directly into it and getting full power output.1. How many stan... | |
| Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer >A properly-designed digital volume control works like a stepped attenuatorWell, properly designed. It is even hard to find properly designed analog volume controls. I think the remark about drawbacks of digital volume controls holds.And yes, o... | |
| Best Speaker To Use With Scott LK72 Tube Amp? A sub would normally be better able to cope with any placement issues from a sonic point of view than would a pair full range speakers with no sub.Now, if you mean you just don't have enough physical space for a sub, then that's different. | |
| Sound lab - Eminent Technology - Innersound From memory, the Innersound marketing materials also cite narrow horizontal dispersion as a desirable quality.Now, how their arguments relate to issues of property protection, or economies of scale, or desired price points, or capital/resources on... | |
| Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer I should mention I have heard excellent sounding digital systems.This does not mean there are not both theoretical and practical problems with digital, some of which we have touched on. Digital volume controls can be quite bad, for example.Analog ... | |
| Buggtussel Question I understood the company closed. Is that your understanding? | |
| Review: Behringer DEQ2496 Equalizer No, I don't mean "continuous," despite my typo. I'm following either Bob Carver or Nelson Pass, but can't remember which. Anyway, the point is about distortion behavior, not gain. Analog distortion is highest at highest levels. Digital distortion ... | |
| Sound lab - Eminent Technology - Innersound I thought the Innersound propaganda addressed the sonic aspects of not curving their panels. Less membrane breakup was the rationale?It also could be a patent or non compete issue for all I know. ; > | |
| Sound lab - Eminent Technology - Innersound >the ETs might be very thin sounding for use in a home theater system without subwoofers.Community Audio once told me the ET's are a "midrange speaker" on the phone, and I concluded they didn't know what model the VIIIa's are. While their dynam... | |
| Full range speakers with small footprint? >Spendor S5eThat's nutty, in light of the stated wishes. Low end? Hello? | |
| Preamp/Subwoofer connection question.... Most subs will allow you to connect via speaker cables from your amp, and there are different ways this can work. Infinity's usually run speaker cables from the amp to the sub and then to the main speakers, and filter lows off from the main speake... | |
| Impressions of Teac A-L700P Class "T" amp? Bump.Everyone knows the mods for this at http://redwineaudio.com/index.htmlaudiocircle dot com folks talk about this a bit more than in this thread. | |
| Spica TC-50/REL Strata II vs. GMA Europa? Going to the Europas first makes more sense to me, but the maker suggests a minimum of 50 tube watts or so. And you would need a greater minimum distance from the Europas than with the Spicas, imo.Driver technology has improved. Old drivers also c... |
