| Just confused about where to start When I first read your post, I thought "oh my, he is going to get soooo many ideas that it'll be very difficult to sort through to come up with a good solution".... with that, even though I have a few different ideas than posted, the solution that... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? I have several sets of cables at home, my favorite are high count twisted litz. These cables definitely qualify as high capacitance. This capacitance problem is also effected by the speaker crossover itself that is attached to the cable. So depen... | |
| What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you? Well, I agree with most of what has been said. Normally the advantage of adding power, isn't necessarily adding power itself, but having the power supply with larger current capability. Power supplies don't have to be regulated, but a good regula... | |
| First Tube Amp I have owned 2 Yaqin amps, both were integrated, both were well made and sounded quite good. If I wanted to go back to tubes, I wouldn't hesitate to try them again. I also really like the idea of a key few parts changes to make a nice difference... | |
| Pass x250.8 vs Hegel h4se vs Ayre VX-R You are looking at 3 outstanding products.... I would recommend 1 other if you would like a different take on how they handle music. Ampzilla 2000 MkII mono blocks, they are about $10,000 new. http://www.10audio.com/ampzilla_2000_2nd_edition.htm | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses @nonoise I have now purchased these a few times and @douglas_schroeder I did measure directional resistance before putting them in, not sure that direction matters, but I figured "why not".. Tim | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses So does an 18 gauge cable sound better than a 10 gauge cable? Does any fuse sound as good as no fuse? If no fuse truly sounds better, why can't fuses sound differently? I've never had the heart to purchase any crazy expensive fuses, but I have twi... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Interesting conversation.... I think about being in a church service several years back, our pianist was excellent, really enjoyed listening to this guy play, he was a professional and played with several theater groups around town. Soon we had ... | |
| Use a car woofer for home audio cabinet.. any downside? Hi Steve, The 2 on ebay are a bit high.... Yes, Madisound had this knocked off for them. I believe Foster made it. Neither of these is the Madisound part. I don't recognize the part with the fins on the magnet, but the other looks to be the ... | |
| What do you know about the JENSZEN Z-600 speakers and cross-overs I don't have a ton of experience with these, Its been many years These speakers require some real current to come alive. They are a difficult load and not many tubes will run them. Not sure this helps, but it is what I recall. Tim | |

| acoustical stuffing / sound dampening subwoofer cabinet REL BRITANNIA B1 subwoofer My experience with any type of stuffing on a ported or vented box is closer to Dukes. It isn't always about the slight changes in effective cabinet volume as much as it is the dampening effect and the amount of output or cancellation because of w... | |
| Does anyone know what happened to SUMO Electronics? JD, one of my best friends still uses an Electra. He has made a ton of cap improvements on this pre and it responded incredibly to the changes. This pre already uses 1% metal film resistors, but it is full of sub par caps. so if you figure out... | |
| Use a car woofer for home audio cabinet.. any downside? I went ahead and ran curves on the 2 woofers suggested.... The AD12-300 woofer Erik posted is an attractive choice indeed. As a drop in without any changes, It'll be fairly smooth and be 3db down @ 31hz. The NHT1259 Woofer posted as a drop in (... | |
