| Merlin Master Bam Alert Hmmm, we might've been at the same show, Paul. My first exposure to the VSMs. hooda thunk it? | |
| Holes in back panel of speakers If they penetrate all the way into the cabinet void they will have some affect on the sound, particularly if they are sealed (acoustic suspension) design. If they are ported, its less of a concern. Silicone is a good idea for a fix. I assume that ... | |
| How critical is alignment error?? That error is not subtle.I agree. And if you sent him instructions showing how to do the work, its hard to understand why he did not. I agree w Elizabeth that the place to start is w an inquiry, not an agruement (it may end up there, but you gotta... | |

| Headphone Tutorial Swampwalker's 12 step plan to headphone bliss ;~)1. You will need a separate headphone amp, unless you have one of a limited # of line stage/integrateds like the Melos SHA pre or the Cary 300 sei integrated (neither of which is listed on your syst... | |
| Preamp gain ??? And Charles1dad summarizes all of the issues perfectly on either side of the pre-amp. They all contribute to the "problem" of excess gain which manifests itself in having to operate the attenuator in a non-optimal part of its range. The pre-amp is... | |
| Pre Amp with top class phono stage? Doshi Alaap belongs on that list, as well. | |
| How can a 40 watt amp outshine a 140 watt amp I have an idea about what is going on w the Clark test. I am not a statistician but I do not think that you need 2 sets of 12 out of 12 correct answers to reject the null hypothesis that the 2 amplifiers sound the same. I would that that the chanc... |
