| Allison Six - Great but gone A pair is up for sale on DC Craigslist for $300. They look pretty good and may be shippable. Good luck. | |
| Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami The caster crack may be unwarranted. The contact patch approaches that of a spike with the obvious benefits of a non-thumb-tacked floor and ease of positioning . The carpet issue makes it academic, eh? My $.02.On the cable side of things, perhaps ... | |
| SummerTime and Amp Heat No one seems to have mentioned the associated load on the amp and its output stage[s]. As a corollary, one sometimes sees ads that say "drove my Thiels/Apogees/'stats with aplomb". That's all good and well but it would seem that driving the amp to... | |
| Tweeter as my surround?? I saw Pyle PRO PCB4BK 4" speakeras in tiny boxes, just large enought to contain the driver and should be easy to conceal. And much better suited to surround duty than any tweeter, as previously stated. "These speakers were perfect as surround soun... | |
| Anyone bi-amping with the Behringer DCX 24/96 ? Many seem to love/hate Behringer, some at the same time! Maybe diamonds in the rough? Here's one man's take: http://mysite.verizon.net/vze4c5pt/id14.html He went from a rather elaborate DIY rig to one much simpler in form. I tend to like his philo... | |
| At what distance are balanced XLR cables needed? The superior connectiviity of a balanced connection makes it an easy choice--if you have that option. And while Kinjanki makes a valid point, reasonably priced XLR cables are widely available. A well-known manufacturer touts Belden cables with dec... | |
| Sound Valves VTP-101 Preamp 300-350 might be a little closer but still a great buy. I sold my 101i version to a buddy who likes it lot, even with stock tubes. [Project table/homebrew ss amp and Hi-Vi Dulcet spkrs.] I got it through Stereo Cost Cutters if anyone remembers the... | |
| About speaker cables.. Riz1, The preamp to amp IC xtion is at least an order of magnitude lower in voltage and thus more susceptible to EMI/RFI and other anomalies. Therefore keep the ICs short. Shielding is perhaps best left to another thread.Putting the rack in the co... | |
| other speaker cable, what to buy Lay the excess in a large loop. You may ultimately return to wider setup and then need the length. I doubt the change in length would be audible. | |

| Pros posing as hobbyists? Dealers have overhead that private sellers do not bear. Like the Car Guys say, your mechanic has many boat payments to make. I'll happily support a competent dealer if the deal is right.I want to know where the seller is coming from and bear no sh... | |
| Exposure 2010S Integrated. Any experiences?? Keith, Good for you for actually trying different amps in your rig. While I don't have direct experience with the amps mentioned, I think Exposure's design philosophy of solid power supplies and regulation contributes a lot to the comments made he... | |
| The Mainstreaming of Audiophilia Ablang--You sure that isn't A-bling? | |
| Straight wire and gain linestage? Endler Audio has a generous return policy, although he seems to be set on a single resistor value which can't be right for all systems, but he's the engineer and I am not. Certainly worth a try; the price is quite reasonable and he has some cool o... |
