| Name that tonearm ! Thank you! That is definitely not a name I remember and normally I would emphatically say, "No, that can't be right." Nevertheless, seeing is believing and that sure is my tonearm. I wonder if M.S. could have marketed it under a different na... | |
| How much more power do 2 Bryston monoblocks use? Thanks to all for the advise and suggestions. While selecting a new amp based on how much heat I can get off the heat sinks appeals to my sense of whimsy, I'll have to pass on that idea. If, for no other reason than the effects of heat productio... | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Todd & OzzyThanks for adding so much value to this thread. Just to put s capstone on my participation, I have to admit when I did my final placements I totally forgot about adding any Ozinators to the tops of my Magnepans. Even when I read a... | |
| Adcom GFA 5500 vs. Parasound A21 EwponDid you ever get a new amp? I ask because I'm in the same, basic boat. Bryston BP26 preamp - ADCOM 5500 amp - Maggie 1.7s.I just love the way the 5500's MOSFETs deliver music with such an airy, spacious, transparent soundstage. Unfortunat... | |
| Amp Input impedance - old Macintosh C-20 preamp with modern SS amp BTWI think this has convinced me to make one last try at a long-lasting repair of my ADCOMs. I hate the idea of pouring good money into bad, but these amps really haven't had a highly regarded repair shop tackle them. (And I really love the soun... | |
| Amp Input impedance - old Macintosh C-20 preamp with modern SS amp Thanks everybody. This was a great help! I'm going to save this.one last questionWhat is the downside of a match with an amplifier that has an input impedance of below 50K? Is it just a rolloff or diminishing of the bass response, or is there ... | |
| Amp Input impedance - old Macintosh C-20 preamp with modern SS amp Thanks Al,FYI All of my inputs (mostly my CD equipment) feed into my primary preamp, a Bryston BP-25. From there the signal goes to the Dahlquist LP-1. After that, the high pass signal goes through a number of pieces including the Sansui QSD... | |
| Amp Input impedance - old Macintosh C-20 preamp with modern SS amp Bob,Thanks for joining in. My C-20s are in a quadraphonic system. They sit just before the front and rear channel amps restricted to a line-level input coming into the Aux inputs, and then stright out to the amps. Basically, I use the C-20s for... | |

| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Hey Todd,Were you able to use the link I provided to get to the Valley Hydraulic page to order the big 1/4" caps. I tried yesterday and it didn't seem to work. I'm wondering if it's just my iPad or if the link I copied just doesn't work for anyb... | |

I was dreamin’ pretty good last night.I’d be very interested in reading your opinion about the h... | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs So there you have it. My take on evaluating the resonators. Ultimately, I sold my HFTs and reduced my usage of resonators in my main system way down. I tried using eight Big Bottom jkbtn resonators with two other smaller resonators thinking tha... | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs The second round of testing.For the second round of testing I first started with six transducers or resonators for each test. Three on each side, all mounted face forward on the wall, one about a half-foot off the outside edge of my speakers, one ... | |
| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Well, now to my last piece of the puzzle - how do the individual transducers or resonators sound?For my evaluations I used my serious stereo setup for the preliminary testing and then used my secondary set (Sony CD, McIntosh C-28 pre, Adcom 545, a... |
