| 10 Levels of Turntable Mastery Woah! Based on what I am seeing, a TML would have to be able to design and build a reference quality TT, arm and cart using a boy scout knife and a roll of duct tape! | |
| Joule-Electra Destiny mono blocks, Opinions? Dev- I would check w Jud Barber @ Joule, to see if those amps will pair well w a low impedence load. As I am sure you know, they are OTL and speaker pairing is v impt. I have a VZN-80 (80 watt stereoblock) and I will tell you that 8 of the output ... | |
| How do I bypass KMixer in Windows XP And how about the ANSIO drivers that are often talked about. Under your scenario, are they necessary and/or an improvement? | |
| Anyone catch what's goin' on at Tweeter?..deals? By liquidator, I mean someone who goes in and sells the stuff out of the retail locations. They hire kids to stand on the street with those big yellow and black signs and buy ads in the papers. They will gradually cut prices 10% at a time, and the... | |
| How do I bypass KMixer in Windows XP Steve N. - Thanks so much for the detailed and easy to follow explanation. Then do I need to install a different "driver" or other software. I am using a USB DAC (sorry, not yours but its for a 3rd rig in my home office) and just downloaded J. Riv... | |
| Foobar 2000 or MediaMonkey v.3? OK, can someone give this to me in baby steps? I am having a Keces 152 USB DAC/headphone amp delivered tomorrow. I have a Media Center XP machine that I will be using for storing my music files (ripping CDs, right?). I also have an ipod nano that ... | |
| How do I bypass KMixer in Windows XP Want to bring this back up to the top of the pile, as my new Keces 152 USB DAC/Headphone amp is waiting at the p.o. for me to pick up tomorrow a.m. I have a very basic question:1. If you use i-tunes to manage your music library (I have an ipod for... | |
| VAC owners, sound off tholt- be VERY careful buying tubes on "flea-bay". If you don't have ready access to a tester and a return guarantee, I would avoid it. I would estimate that 50% of the NOS tubes i bought there (before I had a tester) barely make minimum good and ... | |
| Q about switching from cd to aux. on my Jolida what you are hearing is called cross-talk between inputs. | |
| preamp with two adjustable outputs?? If you are saying that there is no way to adjust the crossover frequency at the sub, then you are going to have a problem w/o an external crossover. There will be overlap unless the natural roll-off or low pass frequency of the sub mates with the ... | |
| Anyone catch what's goin' on at Tweeter?..deals? IME, if they sell it out of the store they will start at 10- 20% off full MSRP and work their way down from there. By the time they get to a realistic discount from street price, there will only be bones left on the carcass! Its kind of like flea-... | |
| preamp with two adjustable outputs?? by not adjustable, do you mean frequency roll off or volume or both? | |
| Speaker Packing? Not to contradict others but UPS Store and Kinkos/Fedex Office will box and/or crate anything you can schlep in there, but it is quite expensive. Rest of my comment above still applies. | |
| 2-way vs. 3-way 2 way has only one crossover. Many people believe crossovers cause phase and other anamolies and without a doubt they eat up power. OTOH, 3 ways have each driver covering a smaller frequency range which often can lead to lower distortion. As is us... | |
| Speaker Packing? Also consider strapping them to a pallet and shipping freight. |
