| denon 2900 or denon 2910 IIRC, the 2900 does not have DVI or HDMI out if that is a factor. 2910 and 3910 both do. | |
| using the Radio shack SPL meter I know that when I was setting up my Velodyne SMS-1, and was supposed to get an 82-83 dB level, it was quite a bit louder than I usually listen. | |
| What song is your fav.Emmylou cut??? That's all I know, but thanks for the tip on ELH and LBM. Hard to imagine a female voice with them but Amazing Grace is perfect acapella music. | |
| The best feature I ever had My old proton clock radio has a ramp-up volume which increases gradually to the volume it was left at, over about 10 sec. I think that there are current models that do the same. | |
| Bi-Wire and Single Cable Together Obviously, you will have to tape off the un-used leads to make sure that you are not showing the amp a dead short across the speaker terminals. Sounds like you will also end up with two sets of spades at the amp end, you will also have to be caref... | |
| What song is your fav.Emmylou cut??? The back story, IIRC, is that they are an "item" and have been for some years. | |
| What song is your fav.Emmylou cut??? Speaking of writing music, the song on her solo "Stumble into Grace" cd titled "Strong Hand" is quite remarkable as a piece of writing and as a performance. One of my current favs. And there's lots of good stuff on Trio and Trio 2. The Western Wal... | |
| SACD anyone??? If you like the Jorma Kaukonen (orig lead guitarist from Jefferson Airplane and then Hot Tuna) try Brothers and Sisters. Acoustic Blues and great vocals with Rory Block, Maria Muldar and a guy whose name escapes me at the moment. | |
| Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre Well, they are all gold pins, some with codes on the support, all with 4 seams on bottle, one in blue/yellow Siemens & Halske box (very clean printing), 5 others in white boxes. Unfortunately, I do not have any gear right now that uses the E88... | |
| What song is your fav.Emmylou cut??? Dekay- good to see your name!! You have good taste (ELH, GP)! | |
| Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre Grant- how can you tell they are genuine? so far I can tell that dull grey getter supports are older than shiny, but what else. is there anything to the story I heard that no genuine CCas were made with gold pins? I have a quad of gold pin, dull g... | |
| What song is your fav.Emmylou cut??? The duets is pretty good, she is very good interpreting Townes Van Zandt for example her duet of "If I needed You". Also a lesser known but very good duet is her with Sarah McLachlan doing "Angel" on one of the Lillith Fair discs. | |
| Tube amp vs. speakers Probably not is the answer. Depends a lot on your room size but that's pretty low sensitivity. More impt that nominal impedence is minimum impedence. How big is the ss amp that you are using? | |
| Floor standers or Monitors? Jim- If you can live with fast bass down to about 30 hz, the Merlin VSMs may work for you. Flat, benign impedence curve but depending on room size, you may need to go a bit higher in wattage (Atms m-60s worked just fine in a 14.5 x 23' x 8.5' room... | |
| How do you pay? Why? Sorry to be so prosaic, IIRC = If I Remember Correctly. |
