| Do sound characteristics matter when moving from midfi to hifi? Can't respond to your message because I won't give Audiogon a credit card number..., but get hold of me when the show gets close and give me an email address. I probably won't go this year because I'll be doing a garden railroad open house displa... | |
| Do sound characteristics matter when moving from midfi to hifi? Where does one draw the line between Mid-fi and Hi-fi? I live 10 miles due north of T.H.E. Show and you are welcome to come by and hear how good a 14 year old Oppo BDP-95 through 23 year old Yamaha RX-Z9 and "home made" 30-40+ year old JBL/AMT sp... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. "Ignore the app. Make sure the amp’s positive (red) terminal is connected to the speaker’s positive terminal and the amp’s negative (black) terminal to the speaker’s negative terminal. On both speakers. If one speaker was connected backwards, the ... | |
| Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ? I get it about half the time, and I am in the US. But, here's something that is just as weird or may weirder... When I tap the bookmark to come to the site, more times than not, I have to tap it twice as it will not respond to the first tap. ... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Here's a thought..., If you design your speakers so that anything can run them, there's going to be a lot of crappy stuff out there running them making them sound crappy and giving them a bad rep, even if undeserved. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. "An amps ability to drive lower impedance loads has no relation to the amps quality." I can’t agree with this. The ability to drive lower impedance loads means that the power supply has to be up to the task. This would include such things as heav... | |

| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound I hope people realize that if one wants to build their own, on occasion ESS sells a pair of the Heils with all the mounting hardware and rubber gaskets for $250/pair brand new on their web site. | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound I bought a Melton tube amp with P/P KT88s and do not care for it with the Heils. I much prefer my Yamaha RX-Z9 receiver in "Pure Direct" with them. Older recordings prior to reworking the crossovers, but that has no effect on the highs. A quali... | |
| a 3 way design speaker with the ESS Heil type sound You've just got to make your own, like I did, though they don't have the looks you crave. Mine use a JBL 18", a JBL 10", and a Great Heil, modified unlike any other Heil out there. | |
| Any audio clubs near Orange County, CA? Would love to see other systems in the North Tustin area. | |
| Overly sensitive tweeter/midrange Are you sure that you are not just hearing crap in the recording? Certainly plenty of that if you've got the equipment to show it. | |
| Forward Sounding Speaker Crossover Components - Suggestions? ClarityCap SA, 630 volt. | |
| Forward Sounding Speaker Crossover Components - Suggestions? I find the ClarityCaps to be "laid back" so those would not be your first choice. BTW, if one were to actually put themself in the middle of the stage, half of the instruments would be pointing away from you. | |
