| Multiple "sales" of EAR 324? How would a guy like this even know about an item like the EAR?!Because he heard that there a lots of people on this board who will pay $5K for a power cord???? | |
| Rolling Stones Tour 2015 LOL, Geoff. | |
| Ring Clamps. What do you think? Lewm- Well that explains a lot ;-). It's kind of amazing when you do a little research and find so many quotes attributed to Albert and/or Yogi, that are largely unsubstantiated. Kind of like Fox News (rimshot!). On topic, I think w a particular a... | |
| Ring Clamps. What do you think? It's really interesting to see how all of us agree "in principle", yet we are in separate camps, in many ways, on "practice".In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not. - attributed to Albert Einstein, Yogi Berra!!!! ... | |
| Raidho D1's and recommendations for amplifiers I heard the D-2 in NY driven by a VAC tube amp and I thought it was fantastic. The specs on the D-1 say impedance is>6 ohms. Sensitivity is a little on the low side @ 88 dB. A lot depends on the room size, what you listen to and how loud. My gu... | |
| Multiple "sales" of EAR 324? Good luck, dude. What does Audiogon say? | |
| Ring Clamps. What do you think? Larry- I took a look at the power point you link to on your web site. Unfortunately, it contains a very basic error in its argument that we can perceive energy with wavelengths far above what we typically call sound (>20 kHz). 10 microseconds D... | |
| Dunlavy SC IV A harsh high frequency UNless there is a known defect with the tweeters, blowing them once a year would seem, (IMO) an indication that your amp is underpowered for your needs and that you are driving it into clipping, which will fry the tweeters pretty quickly. | |
| SET shortlist to drive tweeters in active system Lewinskih01- I think what has me baffled is why you would want to use an SET on the tweeters in a 3 way. The vast majority of the musical information is conveyed by the midrange and that is where SETs really deliver their magic. Also, I believe th... | |
| Tube question There are some detailed comments by Charlesldad on another thread. Run a search. Bottom line, he thinks that they are terrific. | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? It's not a cost savings, electroslacker. There are 2 things driving it:1. the perception that with much listening being done in high noise environments, resulting in quieter portions of the recording being lost in the (ambient) noise floor.2. the ... | |
| Is my preamp useless? George- It's call hyperbole:hy·per·bo·lehīˈpərbəlē/nounnoun: hyperbole; plural noun: hyperboles exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. | |
| Another UPS Horror Story I spoke with his arresting officer in NJ and his wages and everything else get garnished by the court.Jarrett- I hate to say it but the fact that the guy has an "arresting officer" says it all. I hope for your sake that he didn't send you a damage... | |
| High End cartridges and the built quality The magnification used to make the measurement and take the photo does not affect the extent that the diamonds are not "plumb and square". The only thing the microscopy does is allow the user to see and measure the degree (pun intended) to which t... | |
