| amps,pre amps HELP Corin- If you get the Audioengine speakers you mentioned in the other thread, then all you need is the jolida phono stage. The A5+ speakers are powered w volume control. | |
| Desktop Monster as compact as possible If you're willing to wait til they show up used, I'd recommend the NHT M00 powered monitors w S00 powered sub. They will go LOUD and the sub will give you mucho bass if you want. | |
| new to this Corin- Both of those appear to be integrated amps; a pre-amp and power amp in one chassis. The Rotel seems to have a pre-amp output so you could use that to drive powered speakers but you'd be "wasting" the amplifier section. I can't tell if the F... | |
| new to this The Audioengine speakers have an amp built in along w volume control, so you would only need a phono stage aka phono pre-amp, if you are only going to use that one source. Give us a budget and we can make some recommendations. If you plan to conne... | |
| If you have ever bought anything from HSU research @Martykl- your mistake was not heeding the advice of the great sage Ron White (and I quote):"You can't fix stupid. There's not a pill you can take; there's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever." | |
| Volume differs a lot for different inputs? Mofi is correct. The maximum output from a phono cartridge is typically between 0.25 and 5 millivolts. The max output from a CD player is typically around 1-2 volts, or roughly 1000X higher. In addition, the frequency response of an LP is modified... | |

| The end of pono? Whoa, I was really freaked out for a second. I thought this was about the end of porno!!!! My BP went to 1000 for a minute there. Better now. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Well, well, well. Ddr has access to literature from HF Cables that is "not out yet". Does that give you any more information about his relationship to the manufacturer? I will agree w him on one point. The "simpler explanation" is decidedly non-sc... | |
| King Of contest... Martykl- Loved Freddy Mercury. Maybe he should be King and Queen of Queen ;-) | |
| Sjofen The Clue speakers Onhwy 61 says In each of the above cases the manufacturer's assistance made sure that their products would perform optimally. This type of assistance is standard in the audiophile review communityPrecisely my point. Why, in the case of (the clue) ... | |
| Sjofen The Clue speakers There are two issues at play here, the actual "sound" of the speaker and the review process. I am perfectly willing to give full credence to onhwy61's opinion about the process regardless of whether or not he's heard the speaker, but I disagree th... | |
| Sjofen The Clue speakers Onhwy61- Your posts here are not always mainstream but you seem like a reasonable, rational guy. Therefore, I was stunned to read If a product is that demanding in setup and/or system matching, then maybe the manufacturer should be a little proact... | |
| Sjofen The Clue speakers Thanks for the link and the time you spent on that thread Rebbi. I heard a stacked pair of (the clue) at NY HE show a couple of years ago and found them remarkably good sounding even when driven w SS (Hegel) electronics. They were playing some ame... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz If it be trolling to post cautionary comments for the potential benefit of those who might not recognize shilling for what it is, then I plead guilty. I will gladly continue to post on this thread as Swampy, the Trollman! Has a nice ring to it, I ... |
