| x10V3 Tube buffer: Class A Sound or dud? You have a tube buffer, but it would seem to be not a bandaid style anymore like a buffer seprate, you have the real thing due to the tube preamp, its directly in the signal just as well as a buffer would be, mostly it is for a fix on thin soundin... | |
| JM Labs Electra 946 lack of high-end detail You can get exact driver replacement from Zalytron.com in new york, if they are still in business.. Also back when I had some Midrange drivers from Focal, I think they were what is called the Polycarbonate type or something, basically had a grey s... | |
| Re-issue vinyl vs. the original pressing Umm, short answer.. Some re-issues will blow the doors of the originals, and some originals were so good that most re-issues that cost 12 bucks will not be better and most of the time could be worse. I have got a hold of some Simply vinyl, 180, 16... | |
| Talon-New owner-NO customer service Hmm, interesting.. I would assume it is working and needs a little TLC but not a new amp.. I am not writing this defending the support issue as I have no comment on that directly to rives but some opinions on how a warranty works, Just as a sugges... | |
| JM Labs Electra 946 lack of high-end detail Aball, I think the 80's speakers he is refering to is the Bostons, not the JM Labs.. Focal drivers used in all JM labs I have had are anything but forgiving and low detailed highs or Crisp mids.. Mostly they are normally pretty midrang and Hi's he... | |
| Merlin VSM-mm's a good value at $3000 used? Gregm, Exactly, Room Loading, if you want to feel it on your A$$ while sitting, and want the full effect of your head in the drum kit, it can happen, but this may have nothing to with picking a speaker completly, probably many in the right environ... | |
| Crown amps 12-12-06: Whoaru99, & Tony3d..#1 The K2 is a world of a different amp, and it is AWESOME, due to no FAN, Big Power, Very little power draw, ZERO heat, and it is very liquid smooth and compact... This is nothing Like the Other Crown we are talk... | |
| Are monoblocks better than stereo, with tube amps? As above I agree, they are not really rated at higher output but cleaner and more balanced due to the increased power supplies, mainly bigger transformers dedicated to each channel and they don't get to close to power saturation sharing everything... | |
| Can I get some info on the Onix CD-3? I don't believe it is anybodys 3500 dollar player, But do know onix is the one built that is used as the music hall 1000.00 dollar unit.. Or Maybe it is musical fidelitys player... Its one of those companies. | |
| Calling for opinions on Escalante Fremonts Again take a look at the Audiokinesis, they have a high dispersion Waveguide, almost like a horn on the tweet... very nice, and very similar design, also it is a single 12 that goes pretty deep, without the Damped type dual driver push pull style ... | |
| Crown amps Tony3d, well you did ask the question, so in all honesty the answers are there, but you decide to disagree.. This is fine, your mind is made up, but remember you went on a criticle audio site. Yes the old macro series as stated above I believe was... | |
| Running 2 different subs, and what size? You will more than likely need a good parametric E.Q. and some good setup info and sub position in the room will be much more criticle in a stereo sub situation.. I tried it before with 12's and it was better with them stacked on one side together... | |
| Crown amps Well I am assuming it is the same amp as a CE series which I owned, but XTI has all the processing stuff built in which will also tax the power supply of this amp.. I am not sure exactly of the models so I am going of memory, but the CE is not a v... | |
| Transport - does it matter to the sound at all? Reclocker... interesting, I already myself have too much power cord cost, and cable cost to add more in between.. I am not so sure you can't get a transport with a upgraded clock or better one in the first place to fore'go the excess cables and co... | |
| Calling for opinions on Escalante Fremonts Arn't those a like Isobaric dual 12 type config? Look good and compact with some serious punch, but unfortunatley the price is extremely serious too at 15 k a pair right? What did you not like so much about them would be a start? I was interested ... |
