| Can You Hear Me Now @hallock01The link doesn't seem to work, and the HI website doesn’t seem to know what you are talking about, Hal. Could you perhaps elaborate? | |
| Can You Hear Me Now In any experiment, especially psychological, the devil is in the details. Even when elementary errors of logic have been avoided, and even when the statistics have not been abused, measurements are often irrelevant to the goals of the study.The wh... | |
| Magnepan Active Bi-Amping There is an ARC EC-4 on Ebay right now going for $1K. Lots of other electronic crossovers too - but I know the EC-4, and it’s awfully good and a tremendous match for MP. Cost more than $1K new, back in the ’70’s, when $12K bought a big Mercedes. I... | |
| Magnepan Active Bi-Amping I like MP. All planar, actually. Don't abandon them lightly. | |
| Magnepan Active Bi-Amping I do not recommend re-engineering your crossover, but rather repackaging it. You could get a tech to identify the components, their values, and their specifications. Then order better quality ones and put them in a box. This drives the different z... | |
| Magnepan Active Bi-Amping Yes. I first used an ARC electronic crossover in the 70’s to power a tube top end and SS bottom end on Tympani 1a’s. Huge improvement: dynamics, clarity, sweetness.Then I used a custom analogue unit for another Magnepan system, and then decided to... | |

Higher current ratin... | |
| Possibly Dumb Question re:Battery as a power supply I think that you made a good decision. DIY is possible, but it has its costs in time, uncertainty, and risk.Enjoy! | |

| Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please @rauliruegas I was talking to the OP, and noting that our tastes seem to be similar. I was simply stating the basis for my inference. If that offends you, I am sorry and should have sought your permission first. Please let us know what you expect ... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please Yes, @grk , I have seen it. My ’platter mat’ is a slab of graphite, and it adsorbs contaminants. I noticed a dark patch on the graphite after placing a piece of silicone damping material on it. Since then I’ve discontinued use of Zerodust too.Fort... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please Astolfor, what general area is your US residence? | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please Thank you Astolfor. That’s exactly the information I needed. Much appreciated.It seems that our tastes are similar. I don’t like high frequency to dominate either. To my ears, the Koetsu RSP d/c gets it just right: very clean, very pure, a joy, es... |
