| Best Digital Amps I've only heard the TacT at a show, but was mightly impressed. | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... Kkursula, you are both correct and incorrect. Real live orchestral bass may often sound that way, but, real live Jazz bass is often tight and tunefull. The musician and the venue have a lot to do with determining what the sound will be. | |
| Carver Pro ZR1600 I had a friend whos had a nice system that started out with 200 watt monos on each side. He then got another pair of 200 watt monos, sent all 4 amps back to the factory to be "calibrated". The speakers dropped to 3 Ohms and were 91 db sensitive. I... | |
| Interconnects:Dazed and Confused Essential Audio, I was not offended. I personaly believe that your post was with the sincerest of intentions. I assumed that you thought your moniker was descriptive, but, there was a real possibilty that some might not have recognized it as such.... | |
| Interconnects:Dazed and Confused Jayctoy, maybe it's me, but, I think he's recommending more than auditioning, he's recommending a manner of doing business. The manner of which, might be profitable to his type of business. Geesh, I'm not attacking the man. I'm not suggesting that... | |
| Interconnects:Dazed and Confused Audioengr, I agree that is good that dealers are willing to share their wisdom, but, the contents of Essentialaudio's post certainly could be considerd compromised by the fact that it portrays a recommendation (regardless of its merits) that profi... | |
| Interconnects:Dazed and Confused Essentialaudio, don't you think, that for those that are not in the know, you should mention that you're a dealer? | |
| SACD my thoughts at this time..................... That SACCD and DVDA has not taken the world by storm might be an indication of many things, some of which have alraedy been discussed here. Perhaps, its failure to take the public market place by storm, might be a good thing. Within the next coupl... | |
| Inactive speakers...some measurements I'm curious as to what inactive speaker you used, what the room was like and where was the inactive speaker relative to the room and active speakers. What conclusions, if any, does this have on the use of passive radiators? | |
| Need fast help picking preamp before its too late I'm not familiar with your speakers. That said, and limitied to your short list, I'd pick the Forte. BTW, a Forte 4 amp would be a real nice upgrade from the B&K ST-140, down the road. | |
| Help a newbie with low-cost system suggestions Should you decide to buy the Vandersteen's, you might want to consider the McCormack gear. IMHO, on their own they both represent good values. This is one of those rare cases where the laid back nature of the Vandersteens mated with the some what ... | |
| Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6 Best of luck with everything! | |
| Are Terminals Necessary? They might prevent unwanted contact of splayed frayed wires from shorting nearby terminals. | |
| Balanced Tube Preamps I Should Try Bigkidz, if your still using the pass x pre, may I ask what your goals are by changing to tubes? Perhaps this is unnecessary, but please remember the somewhat low impedance load of the Pass amp when considering some tube pre's that may have higher... | |
| looking for a warm ss amp.... Damn Sean, you summed up my impressions on all those amps exaclty they way I remember them. I think the B&K DC coupled (especially the M200's) amps are bit more neutral, if a touch lean or harmonicaly thin. I can't comment on the Monarchy's as... |
