| mc602 Or if one of the caps goes. A friend in Belgium is having awful problems sourcing a new one, or a dealer that can help. Has asked around a lot. I believe the caps are an odd size and old stock, difficult to source or replace with new or better o... | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? Lots and lost and lots of "just opinion" posted hereA couple of actual experiences may help. I have friends in areas of "variable" electricity supply, in that different generators click in at different times of the day. The quality of electricity... | |
| 802d or 800d There is no tweeter issue on the d3s - the d2 tweeter issue has been fully addressed.It appears that people who bough the new 802d3s are so pleased that they are swapping them in quickly for the 800d3s as the price differential VERY favourable as... | |
| 802d or 800d All comments are to be read as "my opinion" rather than fact! Well the short answer is the 800d3s are far more suitable for my ears than the Carbon 8s. The Carbon 8s it seems did not last very long in the market place before being replaced and i... | |
| Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about I play my analogue via surround soundI was surprised to hear on Led Zep 2 Thank You, half way through, random talking out of middle surround right - something that stereo would never have picked outMakes you wonder if this was by design or lazines... | |
| Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me) So you might recommend playing a quad stereo lp on a normal set up?Whereas someone else said it would be less due to lost components | |
| Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me) Why do you need 7.1 if you’re playin’ stereo vinyl at home ? I do not have at the moment a separate 2 x mono preamp (one however is being built for me bespoke by Tom Evans)So the phono goes into my sp3 where it is decoded into 7.1 - which sep... | |
| Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me) Ok but a proper decoder is what ...? | |
| Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me) So is any quad beneficial element picked up in a normal cartridge and phonostage, or just "wasted"?From what you are saying all elements are in principle "recovered"?I feel I am either being stupid or missing something hereIf the Bryston decodes e... | |
| Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me) I am looking at Ebay uk an item called CARLY SIMON ~ HOTCAKES ~ USA QUADRAPHONIC STEREO AUDIOPHILE LP So the "stereo" word is out of place, or indeed wrong? | |
| Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me) The Bryston very successfully codes 2 channel into 7.1.I never play analogue into stereo So the quadraphonic lps need a special cartridge ... and phonostage then. So presumably playing with a normal cartridge and phonostage some channels are missi... | |
| Is it OK to use an 8 Ohm tubed amp to power 16 Ohm speakers? Thanks for your commentsI have bought so many speakers (many Proac as it happens) over the years yet strangely no 4 ohm items ... so ...why do makers like Proac suddenly produce a 4 ohm speaker and what did they intend to be the improvement or res... | |
| Is it OK to use an 8 Ohm tubed amp to power 16 Ohm speakers? My recently purchased Proac d80s are 4ohm, which I have never encountered in practice beforeI presume that normal 8ohm type amps are all ok to use?i.e. the reverse of this original thread | |
| KEF Reference 207/2s, 3s, or Blade 2s I didn't compare the 207s with the bladesI heard the 207s and was impressed so I thought I would give the Blades a tryI compared the Blades at a dealer vs B&W802d3sNo comparison - so many areas were better with the B&Ws(I ended up buying t... | |
| KEF Reference 207/2s, 3s, or Blade 2s I was recently demoed with the Blades vs B&W802d3sAfter all the hype round the Blades I was prepared to buy - and I am so glad I did not.Compared to the B&W 802d3 I found the blades lifeless and lack of detailI had earlier heard the 207s ... |
