| Thiels or Von Schweikerts Rustler, Rustler, Rustler! May I humbly suggest you choose your speakers before you buy an amp! I don't know how big your listening room is, or how how much ultimate sound pressure you seek, and maybe those amps will power the VS's, but, I suspect... | |
| Thiels or Von Schweikerts Zaikesman, as usual is right on. | |
| What to do about the Sound of Sirius Don Scott recently did a review on the ADA tuner. While it might not be the last word in tuner fidelity, it appears to be the best solution so far. Perhaps we'll get lucky and he"ll chime in! | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier There are those that believe switching the speaker leads is better than using an electonic switch. Re: Tedmbrady's point about so many lines may be out of phase that phase reversal may be a moot point, well it depends on the recording. With that i... | |
| Amplifier Weight. A Factor? Depends on the technology. | |
| IEC Connector Suggestions Just a thought, if you've decided on the cables being used, why not just hard solder them? | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Preamplifier Holker, there is an easy fix. If there is an odd # of pieces in a system that inverts phase (usually this only happens with pre's so that odd # is usually 1) then just reverse the the speaker cables at one end to return to absolute phase. Or is so... | |
| From Krell to McIntosh - Anyone? Since I have never owned either, take this with the appropriate amount of salt. First of all, I don't think either of these manufacturer's gear necessarily conforms to a house sound. Mac works with both tubes and solid state. I will grant you that... | |
| Thiels or Von Schweikerts Who said anything about hate? | |
| Thiels or Von Schweikerts Rustler, you can just pick up this thread again. | |
| Thiels or Von Schweikerts The designers of these two brand of speakers have rather different perspectives. I'm not at all surprised that you are getting very polarized opinions. At least for me, at these prices, I'd try and find a way to audition them. BTW, I fall into the... | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? "Most audiophiles are not going to settle for anything reasonable". LOL! Makes one question how "reasonable" audiophiles are? | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Herman, I don't have any strong conviction on an absolute length of a caps reasonable use. I am led to believe that caps can be reasonably expected to be reasonably servicable for 20 years. What do you believe the life expectancy of a cap to be? W... | |
| Levinson 20.5 monos - Time for a Refurb? Common thinking, (old wives tale?) is that caps are good for about 20 years. The look-see price seems more than a bit steep. If your amps seem fine, perhaps the maintance is a bit premature. I'd suggest waiting a little while and then if you still... | |
| Which speaker to replace Dunlavy SC-V? Sean, as you probably know I am in complete agreement with you on just about everything stated above. The one area, I'm not so sure about is the issue re: Dunlavy's and inconsistent bass. I have noticed this on occasion, but not always. I think un... |
