| Newbie que on "recommended amplifier" rating Sean, even then? I only hope your craze for power is limited to audio. Wait a minute, I remember reading about some of your previous automobiles. Remember... I'm on your side... we're bud's, right? Seriously, did they actually put light bulbs in t... | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? Roy, your a prince. Thank you. | |
| Electrocompaniet owners Inna, you must be late to this thread, you give Audiogon too much credit in this regard. Audiogon's policy seems to oscillate, without reasons given. I couldn't disagree with you more about it belonging here.Hshapiro, I'm not sure what to make of ... | |
| Tube amp / SS pre or SS amp / Tube pre? Labtec and Ohlala, brings up some good points. Many prefer to use a tube pre with a solid power amp. This is due to costs, heat dissipation and trying to make the most of the typical advantages and minimize the typical diadvantages of tubes and so... | |
| Thiel 2.3 amplification Whats your budget like? As you seem to be looking into both power and intergrated amps, are you decided on a pre-amp should you go with a power amp? What's the rest of your system like? What's your room like? What volume levels are you seeking? Wh... | |
| Newbie que on "recommended amplifier" rating Most manufacturers recommendations are based upon a standard 8 Ohm rating of solid state amps. While I don't condone this, I'm sure they are just trying to keep it simple. Unless your speaker manufacturer is unique and more specific, you shouldn't... | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? Pardon my ignorance, but can one mainatin correct time and phase with 12 and 24 db octave slopes? Many seem to say the only way to do this is with 6db slopes. Are active cross-overs different in this regard? Can active cross-overs be time and phas... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? Stehno, may I respond with a video analogy. Removing the lower edge of a video screen might not deny most opportunites to appreciate the esscence of the scene portrayed, but sometimes it would. Unfortunately, unlike video, rooms and/or budgets for... | |
| Front port vs. Rear Port More often than not, yes. | |
| Tube amp / SS pre or SS amp / Tube pre? Marakanetz and Zaikesman suggestion of putting solid state pre before tube amps usually offer more opportunties for appropriate impedance matching. | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? Roy, once again thank you for sharing your expertise. Am I correct in assuming that speakers well executed from the get go can still benefit from all these "tricks" if the tricks are well executed as well? I'm sure I'm not alone in looking forward... | |
| List of Unlabeled HDCD's I think this is a very good idea! | |
| Electrocompaniet owners Tok20000, Of course you are absolutley correct...in ordinary circumstances. These are pecular circumstances. In this circumstance Ernie was denied satisfaction going through the traditional channels. As such he appealed to the Audiogon community f... | |
| Electrocompaniet owners Tok2000, I think it would be really bad form for EC to sell Ernie the goods at the expense of his freedom of speech. Just think what the backlash might be like if Ernie turned them down and reported the reason he couldn't get the upgrade. Your bus... | |
| Electrocompaniet owners Makes one wonder about the integrtiy of those charging $800 for a mod based upon $82.50 worth of parts. While there is a deserved profit for design and development, it seems to be a little excessive to me. For your sake and the sake of this firm I... |
